    Romney says Attorney General Holder should quit

    MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is calling on President Barack Obama's attorney general to resign because of the flawed law enforcement initiative aimed at dismantling major arms trafficking networks on the Southwest border.

    Romney tells reporters after a rally in New Hampshire that Eric Holder has misled Congress and has "brought shame" on the Justice Department through his handling of Operation Fast and Furious.

    Operation Fast and Furious involved more than 2,000 weapons purchased by straw buyers at Phoenix-area gun stores. Nearly 700 of those guns have been recovered — 276 in Mexico and 389 in the United States, according to ATF data as of Oct. 20.

    Controversy erupted over the intitiative after two assault rifles turned up at an Arizona shootout where border agent Brian Terry was killed.

      Eric Holder is without dispute the most inept scoundrel to every hold the AG post...If Obama had the slightest leadership abilities he'd fire the babbling fool!

        So Romney wants to support moving Southwest security to be shipped to Iraq and votes for it.
        Then he cries when it's done.
        What an arse.

        The ones in Wash DC, get the Ok from Congress! This also includes their friends on Wall Street!

        Search and read the facts so you know the history of Fast and Furious:
        "Southwest Border strategy first implemented it in 2006 to stem the flow of illegal firearms trafficking into Mexico." "Fast and Furious" was part of that 2006 Bush admin strategy.

      • mary 5 mths ago
        who asked them to stay for 20 years, they should go back to the private sector, real reality
      • Sidd 5 mths ago
        Forget it. Would you vote to cut your benefits? Same for these guys and gals

      Truth be known, every politician in Washington should quit. Gop and Dem
      • 122112 5 mths ago
        Since they won't quit, we have to fire them, especially the new republican tea baggers. Obstructionist!
    • Chase Crank  •  Livingston, United States  •  5 mths ago
      If Obama had any gonads he would fire Eric Holder for Treason and Crimes Against the U.S. Government and the American People. Holder is just a drop in the Cess Pool they call the Obama Administration.
      • Randi 5 mths ago
        yea, "if" being the key word here. Obama will just take the "present" stand.
      • mamateresabalboaIII 5 mths ago
        Holder is Obama Chicago political machine buddy. Obama asked Holder to create a plan that he could use to restrict 2nd Amenments rights. Holder's plan backfired when US citizens were killed..

        Holder and Obama should be arrested and tried for treason and reckless homicide.

      ALL current office holding politicians should resign.
      • mytea 5 mths ago
        no, stripped of all benefits and arrested
      • alluvial fan 5 mths ago
        Since there are more Democrats in office, I agree.
      • Shelia 5 mths ago
        yes and let the working man speak for us..must hold a blue collar job..
    • 1eyeopen  •  5 mths ago
      Romney is right on target with this one...
    • MarkW  •  Fort Lauderdale, United States  •  5 mths ago
      ...they forgot to mention some of those guns were found at the scene in the murder of a Federal agent and used in multiple other murders.
    • advance2go  •  Newark, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Ever wonder why congressman leave office far wealthier then when they started?
    • Bill  •  Milford, United States  •  5 mths ago
      I thought he should have been fired after suing a state (AZ) about a law that he hadn't read, that was less than twenty pages long.
    • not-that-stupid  •  5 mths ago
      Go ahead and leave, your comments don't matter. He could have killed 100 border officers with this program and he would still WALK. There is no real justice here in the US anymore.
    • James Andrews  •  Portland, United States  •  5 mths ago
      He should quit-everyone knows that he had knowledge of the failed ATF operation "gunrunner", that cost the life of a good ATF agent.
    • Luke  •  Ladysmith, United States  •  5 mths ago
      tip of the iceburg. just like reno to clinton. hired goon.
    • Monty  •  Denver, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Quit? Resign? How about thrown in Jail as a traitor trying to illegally undermine the Constitution. This is serious folks. The whole point of this "Fast and Furious" was to make it look like guns were comming from the US so the Gov had an excuse to take away our second admendment rights. All involved are traitors.
    • DaTourist  •  5 mths ago
      Will the man who recommended the Marc Rich pardon to Bill Clinton, and who quashed the uncontested voter intimidation case against the Philadelphia New Black Panthers, ever resign voluntarily?

      I don't think so. Holder will have to be driven from office that that becomes more urgent daily. Holder is Obama's man. Don't expect much.
    • Chris  •  Tampa, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Holder should be in prison.
    • KennethJ  •  Atlanta, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Eric Holder should resign or be fired for failing to do his job correctly. Romney is correct on this one
    • FKU  •  Columbus, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Couldn't agree more, Eric Holder is a disgrace, he is also the yapping dog that shuts down any attempts by States that are desperate to reign in illegal immigrants, some of these States are literally under siege and Eric Holder shuts them down every time.
    • joe  •  Charlotte, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Holder does not believe in the rule of law.
      He simply ignores laws which he does not agree with.
      He is therefore not qualified to be attourney general.

      For all you Bush bashers - WHEN does Obama start his term ??? Let us know so we can keep track....
