I'm 61, a Republican since Nixon lost to Kennedy. I've never been more ashamed to be a Republican than when Boehner and other Republican leaders threw Joe Barton under the bus for speaking his honest opinion, not to mention the truth, about the 'shakedown' of BP. Not even during the height of Watergate. I can't believe what cowards our party's so-called 'leaders' are.
The Constitutional issues here are real and deserve to have a very bright light shined on them. Boehner & McConnell are the ones who should be ashamed, allowing crass political correctness to trump their sworn oath. I can't believe they're going to stand by, silently complicit in trashing the 5th Amendment. They're as out of touch with reality (and me) as any Democrat lefty.
If you agree, join me in showering them with irate email & snailmail.
