Don't even pretend you're ignorant enough to think that it is only Dems allowing government gun walking. If you truly believe that they are, either you need to do more research or just never vote again and stop paying attention to headlines in the news. Not specifically you but EVERYONE...if you think politicians are less corrupt because they've got an R by their name...just stop voting.
Yep, Fast and Furious was bigger but the same thing was happening under Bush. It was Operation Wide Receiver. The whole D v. R and being blindly loyal/ignorant isn't helping anyone.
Now there is a load of crap. Wide Receiver as has already been pointed out attempted to trace weapons with tracking devices. Other very important differences include that we were working with the Mexican government. Holder's operation did not inform them. There were actual arrests in Wide Receiver, none in Holder's operation. Wide Receiver allowed a few hundred to walk, Holder allowed a few thousand. Wide Receiver had the purpose of trying to track the guns to traffickers so that arrests could be made. Holder's purpose was for the guns to show up at murder scenes to show the need to strip gun rights from Americans. And of course that brings us to another big difference, the body count. So Bush did it first... yeah right.
