lol,, i like this guy

Nail,, Cross,, HAMMER!

Obama is going to look back at 2009-2010 as his ‘Good’ years. No one is more deserving of a continual kick in the teeth than him. Imagine him kicking Republicans with his haughty ‘Elections have consequences; I won’ and then whining about lack of ‘bipartisanship.’ I hope Obama suffers in 2011. He deserves it.

“One Of The Most Corrupt Administrations”

…aka: “chicago-style politics”.

The fact that the reactionary charge at our president will be lead on the ethics front by a man who dedicated his early life to grand theft auto and firearms violations is perfect… Back away from the car Issa!

What more proof do you need than Issa’s gut feeling?

Fact: Issa sounds like he can work with the democrats as long as it’s not waste like Obamacare fraud! Great for America!

and thanks to rove and his unindicted war criminal boss bush, they set the precedent of not appearing before congress because of executive privilege.

Issa is just like Waxman , if Henry was intelligent , patriotic and thoughtful .

Waxman is bad news. But heck, most of these deep down Modern Liberals/Progressives are bad news.

BTW, I always enjoy your insights.

Gut feeling? Haven’t you paid attention to Obama’s Justice Deptarments handling of the Black Panther/Voter intimidation in Philly?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/05/29/charges-new-black-panthers-dropped-obama-justice-dept/

Or how bout Obama strong-arming investment firms who opposed the administration’s auto bailout?
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/05/bankruptcy-atto.html

Or how about Obama’s DHS Secretary threatening insurance companies who opposed the Federal takeover of healthcare?

You might not care if Your Great Leader pisses on the Constitution, but I feel its Congress’ job to provide oversight to the executive branch.

Oh don’t come at me with all those facts Alz. Liberals have been brainwashed into believing that Bush was the ONLY ONE who believed that Iraq had WMD and of course, if Olbermann or Kos says so, it must be right. Being sheeep-like, the liberal isn’t going to investigate something to appeals to their emotions so we end up getting stupid, uneducated comments like ChiliPeppersFan made.

Good. Perhaps we will finally get some oversight on the Blackwater/XE, Haliburton and other contractors given non-competitive contracts with the US government as well as their questionable, if not illegal, activities while carrying out those contracts.

Darrell Isa, who invented and sold radar and other detectors to help people beat the police and the law, is not anyone to take serious. His ousting of Grey Davis and other activities from his lair show him to be a hypocrite, liar, and corporate suck up, whose whole life has been dedicated to money grubbing. He certainly has a short memory when he compares Obama to W. Bush and Dick Cheney. There is no administration on record that can beat out any political administration in the United States that has shamed us as Americans both here and abroad than the Republicans under Bush and his minions of war profiteers, war criminals, etc. Issa is right in there with them. When did Darrell Issa serve his country in the military or except for personal gain?

You missed the part about Bush and Cheney’s cynical lies and deceptions that gave false information to the Democrats that voted in a bipartisan manner because they believed the out right lies of a bunch of war and profiteering criminals. And, that is just a start. They are the ones who didn’t do their work to keep BP and Halliburton from their criminal activities that led to a horrible disaster in the Gulf of Mexico or after Katrina their let them eat cake attitude and behavior. When you want to see real carnage and a rampant disregard for the citizens of America you only have to look to the Republican Party and their den of criminals.

Here’s a quote from his Bio:

“As a senior in high school, Issa enlisted in the United States Army. Through his Army service, he received an ROTC scholarship and graduated with a degree in business from Sienna Heights University in Adrian, Michigan. Upon graduation, Issa was commissioned as an Army officer, and ultimately obtained the rank of captain. He completed his active-duty military service in 1980 and turned his interests to the private sector.”

They already did that man. The Dems have been in control of Congress since 2006. IF there was really any serious illegal activities, don’t you think they would have found it? Besides fines, who’s in jail? Those whom you support are LYING to you about such crimes…that shows you that don’t don’t consider you nothing but a lemming for their agenda.

Issa is already crawfishing on this statement because he knows his mouth wrote a check his ass can’t cash. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/02/goper-calls-obama-administration-corrupt/

Yeah? How ’bout this?

October 9th, 1999 Letter to President Clinton Signed by Senators Levin, Lieberman, Lautenberg, Dodd, Kerrey, Feinstein, Mikulski, Daschle, Breaux, Johnson, Inouye, Landrieu, Ford and Kerry — all Democrats

“We urge you, after consulting with Congress and consistent with the US Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions, including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.”

Joe Biden > August 4, 2002
“This is a guy who is an extreme danger to the world, and this is a guy who is in every way possible seeking weapons of mass destruction.”

Chuck Schumer > October 10, 2002
“It is Hussein’s vigorous pursuit of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons, and his present and future potential support for terrorist acts and organizations that make him a danger to the people of the united states.”

John Kerry > January 23, 2003
“Without question we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator leading an impressive regime. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. And now he’s miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. His consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction.”

Sandy Berger > February 18, 1998
“He’ll use those weapons of mass destruction again as he has 10 times since 1983.”

Senator Carl Levin > September 19, 2002
“We begin with a common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations, is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them.”

Senator Hillary Clinton > October 10, 2002
“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock. His missile delivery capability, his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists including Al-Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”

Madeleine Albright > November 10, 1999
“Hussein has chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies.”

Robert Byrd > October 3, 2002
“The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of ’98. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons.”

Al Gore > September 23, 2002
“Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter, and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.”

Joe Biden > August 4, 2002
“I think he has anthrax. I have not seen any evidence that he has smallpox, but you hear them say, Tim (Russert), is the last smallpox outbreak in the world was in Iraq; ergo, he may have a strain.”

Bill Clinton > December 17, 1998
“Earlier today, I ordered America’s armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq…. Their mission is to attack Iraq’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.”

Hillary Clinton > October 10, 2002
“In the four years since the inspections, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability and his nuclear program.”

Dick Gephardt > September 23, 2002
“(I have seen) a large body of intelligence information over a long time that he is working on and has weapons of mass destruction. Before 1991, he was close to a nuclear device. Now, you’ll get a debate about whether it’s one year away or five years away.”

Russell Feingold > October 9, 2002
“With regard to Iraq, I agree Iraq presents a genuine threat, especially in the form of weapons of mass destruction: chemical, biological and potentially nuclear weapons. I agree that Saddam Hussein is exceptionally dangerous and brutal, if not uniquely so, as the president argues.”

Johnny Edwards > January 7, 2003
“Serving on the intelligence committee and seeing day after day, week after week, briefings on Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction and his plans on using those weapons, he cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons. It’s just that simple. The whole world changes if Saddam ever has nuclear weapons.”

John Kerry > January 31, 2003
“If you don’t believe…Saddam Hussein
is a threat with nuclear weapons, then
you shouldn’t vote for me.”

Bill Nelson > September 14, 2002
“I believe he has chemical and biological weapons. I think he’s trying to develop nuclear weapons, and the fact that he might use those is a considerable threat to us.”

Al Gore > September 23, 2002
“We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.”

Tom Daschle > February 11, 1998
“The (Clinton) administration has said, ‘Look, we have exhausted virtually our diplomatic effort to get the Iraqis to comply with their own agreements and with international law. Given that, what other option is there but to force them to do so?’ That’s what they’re saying. This is the key question. And the answer is we don’t have another option. We have got to force them to comply, and we are doing so militarily.”

Bill Richardson > May 29, 1998
“The threat of nuclear proliferation is one of the big challenges that we have now, especially by states that have nuclear weapons, outlaw states like Iraq.”

Hillary Clinton > October 10, 2002
“It is clear, however, that if left unchecked Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capability to wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”

Al Gore > December 16, 1998
“[I]f you allow someone like Saddam Hussein to get nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, chemical weapons, biological weapons, how many people is he going to kill with such weapons? He has already demonstrated a willingness to use such weapons…”

Bill Clinton > February 17, 1998
“If Saddam rejects peace, and we have to use force, our purpose is clear: We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.”

Madeleine Albright > February 1, 1998
“We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and the security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction.”

Nancy Pelosi > December 16, 1998
“Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology, which is a threat to countries in the region, and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”

Al Gore > September 23, 2002
“We know that he has stored nuclear supplies, secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.”

John Kerry > October 9, 2002
“I will be voting to give the president of the US the authority to use force if necessary to disarm Saddam because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.”

Ted Kennedy > September 27, 2002
“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.”

Jay Rockefeller > October 10, 2002
“There was unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years. We also should remember that we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.”

Joe Biden > August 4, 2002
“[H]e does have the capacity, as all terrorist-related operations do, of smuggling stuff into the United States and doing something terrible. That is true. But there’s been no connection, hard connection made yet between he and al-Qaida or his willingness or effort to do that thus far. Doesn’t mean he won’t. This is a bad guy.”

Madeline Albright > February 18, 2002
Iraq is a long way from (here), but what happens there matters a great deal here, for the risk that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest national security threat we face — and it is a threat against which we must and will stand firm.”

Jane Harman > August 27, 2002
“I certainly think (Hussein’s) developing nuclear capability which, fortunately, the Israelis set back 20 years ago with their preemptive attack which, in hindsight, looks pretty darn good.”

Dick Durbin > September 30, 1999
“One of the most compelling threats we in this country face today is the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Threat assessments regularly warn us of the possibility that North Korea, Iran, Iraq, or some other nation may acquire or develop nuclear weapons.”

Bill Nelson > August 25, 2002
“[M]y own personal view is, I think Saddam
has chemical and biological weapons,
and I expect that he is trying to develop
a nuclear weapon. So at some point,
we might have to act precipitously.”

Nancy Pelosi > October 10, 2002
“Yes, he has chemical weapons. Yes, he has biological weapons. He is trying to get nuclear weapons.”

Evan Bayh > August 4, 2002
“I’m inclined to support going in there and dealing with Saddam, but I think that case
needs to be made on a separate basis: his possession of biological and chemical weapons, his desire to get nuclear weapons, his proven track record of attacking his neighbors and others.”

Bill Clinton > February 17, 1998
“We have to defend our future from these predators of the 21st Century…. They will be all the more lethal if we allow them to build arsenals of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them. We simply cannot allow that to happen. There is no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein.”

Hillary Clinton > January 22, 2003
“I voted for the Iraqi resolution. I consider the prospect of a nuclear-armed Saddam Hussein who can threaten not only his neighbors but the stability of the region and the world, a very serious threat to the United States.”

Joe Biden > August 4, 2002
“We know he continues to attempt to gain access to additional capability, including nuclear capability.”

Johnny Edwards > February 6, 2003
“The question is whether we’re going to allow this man who’s been developing weapons of mass destruction continue to develop weapons of mass destruction, get nuclear capability and get to the place where — if we’re going to stop him if he invades a country around him — it’ll cost millions of lives as opposed to thousands of lives.”

Joe Biden > August 4, 2002
“First of all, we don’t know exactly what he has. It’s been five years since inspectors have been in there, number one. Number two, it is clear that he has residual of chemical weapons and biological weapons, number one.”

Senator Bob Graham > December 8, 2002
“We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has and has had for a number of years a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.”

John Kerry > February 23, 1998
“Saddam Hussein has already used these weapons and has made it clear that he has the intent to continue to try, by virtue of his duplicity and secrecy, to continue to do so. That is a threat to the stability of the Middle East. It is a threat with respect to the potential of terrorist activities on a global basis. It is a threat even to regions near but not exactly in the Middle East.”

Well, as long as people like you represent those doing the “considering,” I’m good with it. We “smart as a brick wall tea party people” outsmarted you DIMS in the last election, huh? And you ain’t seen nutin’ yet!

An Idea – Ignore SarahP and he’ll go away .

Issa’s a malicious dope who’s so far has not made a single statement that can be backed up with anything resembling evidence or logic. He and the other GOP Sunday morning liebots should all wear badges that say: I’m utterly useless – ask me how”

Also I just notice some clueless postings about how we can’t blame Bush for the Iraq fiasco because so and so and so also thought Hussein has WMD’s, blah, blah, blah…

No. This is just refried BS from the right wing nut-o-sphere. For one thing, there is a massive difference between, say, you and your neighbor only thinking that the guy down the street is up to know good because of past run-ins, but it’s whole different matter for the police to raid that guy’s house with guns blazing just because they also only “thought” he was up to no good without doing a shred of investigating beforehand. Clinton may have thought Hussein was up to no good, but Clinton wasn’t planning on invading Iraq — and if he was, you can bet that he, like anybody with more than half a brain and an ounce of integrity, would have done his homework beforehand.

Also, thanks to the Afghanistan war and the return of the UN Inspectors, Bush had vastly more resources in the area than Clinton ever had, including covert ops in Iraq itself, and guess what they were all finding? No WMD’s and no real connection to al-Qaeda. Did this stop Bush from implementing that insane policy plan of toppling Hussein that many of his people promoted (thanks to their involvement with the PNAC — Google it)? No. Instead he pressured the intel agencies, including the CIA, to come up with any excuses, however stupid and unsupported, to justified a pre-emptive invasion, and he lied repeatedly to both the American public and other government leader, taking advantage to the still strong anxiety over 9/11 (if you doubt any of this, go familiarize yourself with the National Archive and their ever-growing collection of declassified documents on the matter.)

So the bottom line is that Bush and his people lied, lied, and then lied some more. But this was pretty obvious even before the 2004 election to people who actually went out of their way to be well informed on what was really going on. Which means that if you voted for Bush in 2004 and are bashing Obama now, you might want to think about abstaining from voting in any more national elections for the good of the country.

Denial, denial, and more denial. What a good lil’ Dim you are. Keep pounding it out. I’m sure you can convince some other Dim that your Democrat “leaders” were just foolin’ around with all those statements about WMD’s. But, normal people………………………oh, nevermind.

Oh really.maybe you just weren’t paying attention before DARRELL!

Darrell Issa embarrassed himself in this interview. This guy is incompetent. He will be the chair of a congressional committee.

Have you ever seen such an uninformed congressman set to chair a major congressional committee, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform . This is an embarrassment to the country.

You must be joking. Just think about the Democrats running committees.

Sure. About as corrupt as Karl Rove who literally got away with murder and set a precedent by ignoring every subpoena Congress issued him. Any Dems should do the same.
