Just above adversity part of Republican Joan Walsh whose finding itself to be a target in his -- district precisely because he's -- part of Republican.

This is getting nasty now congress.

Well -- -- a fit if it helps them to raise money to go after the Tea Party movement more power to them.

The mistake they're making is they have no clue as to what move this movement is they don't understand the movement.

The movement is millions and millions of Americans.

Who are fed up with how big governments getting.

I don't think they want to attack a movement that big you'll notice they're not they're not defending occupy Wall Street.

And they're certainly not defending this president's policies.

So I suppose we should look at it as a badge of honor that they're going after us.

And -- American out there very soon but you notice it that bad.

He does not.

Embrace a lot of -- Wall Street -- and and and and and back candidly.

Does embrace a couple of positions -- in your view smaller government more responsible government but without going after problem.

Near and dear democratic issues and societal issues like Medicare Medicaid etc.

can have a -- -- No.

-- and maybe that's an acknowledgment that they understand their on the wrong side of this debate.

Look I gotta tell you -- they're there aren't a lot of people in Washington Republican or Democrat.

Who are defending what this president's doing.

He's out there campaigning he's been campaigning for the last year.

Democrats are in a real bind how do how do they defend him and his policies they're not.

So they're they're -- -- after this bogey man of the Tea Party movement.

Without understanding how big it is but you're right there's an implicit acknowledgment.

That we are on the right side of this debate as to what America needs to restore itself.

Com and you'll have called him on the earliest wants to call for Eric -- Resignation.

Do you think you get a little ahead of yourself.

I gotta tell you -- the more you learn about this the more you have to ask yourself this.

Nobody has given a rationale yet.

For this fast and furious program and it is clear to me and I think it's clear -- a lot of Americans that this was an attack and gun owners.

This was an attack on gun dealers.

And Eric Holder is responsible for that it's outrageous what.

What's transpired.

In this fast and furious and all he's doing right now.

It's obfuscating and again in not responding to congress He needs to be held accountable.

So He answers -- investigations are followed meetings.

Would you hold off on resign.

Attorney general comment are you still standing.

No because it's clear that Department of Justice.

-- proved.

-- failed program a program that that I believe is criminal and and in which two of our border agents were killed.

That's a fact and that He can't take back someone needs to take responsibility.

For that program it's it's bad enough that He won't answer questions it's bad enough that there seemed to be conflicting.

Reports as to where He is.

But but the more you learn about this -- it's troubling this is an attack.

I believe fast and furious was an attack by the Obama administration and law abiding gun owners and dealers in this country somebody needs to be accountable for that.

Congressman thank you good seeing you again they give me.
