oh boy here we go again

(Reuters) - Republicans in the House of Representatives plan to introduce articles of impeachment against Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday, in the hopes of removing a cabinet member they say has lied to Congress as well as failed to uphold federal law.

"This was not a decision that I made lightly. Since the House voted in 2012 to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt, the pattern of disregard for the rule of law and refusal to be forthright has only continued," Texas Representative Pete Olson, who drafted the articles, said in a statement provided to Reuters on Wednesday.

Just more proof that we need to find some ways of fixing both the US education system and removing a ton of the political propaganda that clouds almost every issue.

How are they clouded on the issue, Holder fucked up royally and armed Mexican cartels which are causing Violence in and near Texas. This is known, the problem with this impeachment is it should have happened a long time ago.

When you put guns in the hands of a drug cartel do to incompetence you shouldn't keep your job.

Well then vote some rational people into office. If you don't, the people in office are technically representing Texans.

Pretty sums it up. Now we can just wait for their 35th attempt to repeal the ACA. Sure glad they're getting stuff done over yonder.

Remember when Republicans were claiming that they would help get jobs back in the U.S.? Good times.

I've always wondered why the GOP continually under funds education.

When Texas turns blue, I think all citizens of the world will hold hands and war will be no more.

Why wonder, when they state it for you?

Part of the Texas 2012 GOP Platform:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...pFXW_blog.html

Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.

(Emphasis Mine)

Essentially, the Texas GOP doesn't want the next voters to ever think about not doing just what they are told by their parents and/or spiritual leaders. Because thinking is bad.
