"Fast and Furious" growing in size...
While in true "Wag The Dog" fashion we've been distracted by Casey Anthony and other stories of the moment, the mess that is "Fast and Furious" continues to grow. Here are a couple of takes on it: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jul/6/atf-chief-says-higher-ups-blocked-replies-congress/
and this one: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/fast_furious_gets_hotter_for_holder_wDCoBUrOxYF8r1GobKS89M
and for good measure: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2011/07/atf-chief-testifies-before-congress-in-secret-over-controversial-gun-program.html
My take on the whole thing is this was seen primarily by the Administration as a way to push for greater gun control. They manufacture a nonexistent crisis by initiating "Fast and Furious", then act with all seemingly proper speed to end the crisis. The guns stop going to the bad guys, the 2nd Amendment is gutted, B.O.'s gungrabbing base is happy (and just in time for the 2012 elections!) and life is beautiful except for "clingers" like you and I.
Treason is too weak a word for this.

I'm in agreement with you. In fact this mess is pretty much the "straw that broke the camels back" as far as I'm concerned.
It's left me pi**ed off, anxious and alienated.
I'm going on vacation, then I'm going to come back, refreshed. Them I'm going to write.
"Treason is too weak a word for this."
Exactly what Mr. T said! And repeated over and over...
IR, lately I'm always pissed off, anxious and feeling alienated as far as our government is concerned.
Stacy, these days that particular phrase calls for a lot of repetition.
