Holder Hasn't Read AZ Law He Criticized

I don't understand anyone's point. Why is this breaking news? If you think people actually read bills you need to get with reality. They have someone else tell them what is in it. Why does it matter that Holder does the same thing? Oh yeah, because he is a Democrat. It would be the same way too if a Republican was in office and then democrats would criticize. Our country needs to stop letting partisanship blind themselves.

Playing that race card again I see...... you do know that you libs have over played that card and it no longer means anything?
 
Playing the race card is better than playing the terrorist or not born in the Untied States card.

You've got to be kidding me. This bill isn't even 20 pages! You're the AG and you're not only not going to read it but comment as if you have and you don't think that is news?

Time to change your handle dude....

If they are going to vote for a bill then it is their job to read it first.

They have someone else tell them what is in it.

Which is absolutely wrong for a politician who votes for a law to not read it first.

Why does it matter that Holder does the same thing?

If he is going to take legal action against a state wouldn't logic dictate that he should at least read it first,especially if it is an extremely small bill? I get angry when any politician votes for a bill that they didn't read, if they didn't read it then they have no business voting for it. Besides that Arizona's bill is practically a pamphlet, heck the size of a product label compared to the size of the bills the federal government writes. Holder should have had no problem reading the bill. As short as the bill is those interviewing him could have read him the bill .


Oh yeah, because he is a Democrat.

He would be getting the same criticism if he was a republican.

It would be the same way too if a Republican was in office and then democrats would criticize.

Those who are sick of politicians voting for bills that they didn't should be appalled regardless of the political affiliation of the politician or person in an appointed position of power.

My point is that Republicans only criticize Democrats for not reading bills but not people in their own party. Same with Democrats.

My point is if he was a Republican you wouldn't care. And why does it matter if he knows what's in it?

Not everybody plays the "its okay when my side does it, but not okay when the other side does it" game.

No, he made a generalization about democrats, so I made one about Republicans.
 
jamesrage said:
How do you know he wouldn't care?

Because he, like most other Republicans are blinded by partisanship. Don't get me wrong, it's not just Republicans, both sides do it, this issue is just an example of a broader point.
 
jamesrage said:
Considering the fact pro-illegals and illegals have to resort to lies does anyone here actually believe Holder has not read the Arizona law he is criticizing? The only reason he says he hasn't read the law is because he doesn't plan on taking legal action against Arizona, taking legal action will result in him looking like a dumbass.

He already looked like a dumbass when he called Americans cowards and racists. He didn't care about that.
 
jamesrage said:
Being a conservative does not make him a republican.



Have you seen him make excuses for a republican voting for a bill that he did not read?
Click to expand...

No, but it is very likely that he is.

No, but I also haven't read any posts in which he criticizes them either, so it goes both ways.

Is there an echo in here??:shock:

yes. I got it. We got it. We got that you think that means something....

Let me tell you a secret....

The managing partner of a big New York law firm doesn't read everything coming out of the San Jose office...

It's a STATE LAW. There MAY BE a federal issue. He has PEOPLE (other Lawyer) looking into it.



You know, it's difficult to have conversation with you as you don't really understand what an AJ does.... or a President....

What is an AJ???

Actually if he was a republican and did this I would still think he is stupid.


That was your second mistake.

You are only showing you lack a large amount of knowledge to assume that.

Which part of his statement is untrue? Are you saying some Americans aren't cowards or racists?

I am sorry, are you saying his statement is true?

You think as well that Americans are cowards and racists?
