"Enjoy the 1924 record breaking Republicans throughout our Nation"
Seriously, you are championing the epitome of corruption, Republicans during Warren G Harding that bankrupted the country and left us with the Great Depression. Turn back the clock to times when the Republicans were owned lockstock and barrel by Big Oil exposed in the Tea Pot Dome scandal.
Selling out the country is tempting with all the unlimited money sloshing around in politics after the Citzens United decision, and Republicans are definitely not looking out for everyday Americans as they are apparently only working for the special interests who have bought them out.
Issa is lame and his criminal record is certainly an important issue for his leadership. Stealing cars is never a good qualification for anyone, much less a congressmen who supposed to overseeing the hen house - what do you want to bet he is a regular at dumb Fox news.

The "wacko's", as you say, that elected him took him seriously.
Enjoy the 1924 record breaking Republicans throughout our Nation and 1948 recorded braking Republicans in Congress.
That tells me the people voting believe Democrat in office were the wackos...

Talk about total waste of taxpayer money for these partisan hacks to ham it up for the cameras. Issa is a joke if he thinks anyone takes him seriously except the wacko of the far right.

Super majority Democrat Congress pushed through unread bills & passed with 70 % against in polls in some cases.
Gave Republicans 1928 & 1948 record change in Nation & Congress. All we had to do was say NO with voters best wishes.
Previous Democrat controlled Congress was the farce. What they saw of liberalism wasn't pretty in their eyes. So voted the people…

Keep your eye on the upcoming house if you like farce.

You say "Californians know Issa for the crook that he is. A convicted felon car thief." Enjoy. Darrell Issa was elected. Hope he gets the goods in his investigation. Hope he gets Hillary fired...
barry used illegal drugs. Sleep through racist sermons. Ran around with Bill Ayres. Joined Acorn in getting banks to makke sub-prime loans to unqualifed home buyers. Lawyer barry did his part breaking Wall Street...

Can't make this stuff up.
The GOP is trying to pull another gimmick to goose the gullible.
Government Oversight by a convicted felon like Issa.
Its BS, and you know its BS when the conservative nabobs here get all frenzied trying to defend it, repeating every lame bigoted dishonest insult they can think of. Did somebody forget to take their medications today Bill of MO?
These punch-drunk Republicans ought to grow up and concern themselves with country first and party later.

We elected a felon President. Bill Clinton.

Californians know Issa for the crook that he is. A convicted felon car thief.
A more scurrilous rascal would be hard to find and this guy is going to hold up the integrity of the GOP by investigating Democrats and the Obama Administration. ha
Its too silly, just like Haley Barbour defending the kkk white citizens' councils as leaders in the civil rights movements. Some of dittoheads swallow this bull whole, but its plain nonsense to any reasonable person.

Recession was Clinton, lawyer barry & Acorn doings.
Bush warned begining year he was elected.
You all tried (laugh-laugh) and Nov. 2 people showed their appreciation...
