The Democrats should be linking Issagate to every republican in the House Leadership...

There should be calls to have Issa removed as the chairman and go so far as to ask for an investigation as to who knew he was holding back information and when they found out.

But of course we will see none of this because the House Democratic Leadership doesn't have the stomach for it.

Since Assa knew he was lying, HE should have to pay back the money it took for this "scandal". Pay for the room to have the hearing, and ALL that was needed. And he should lose his seat, and possibly spend some time in jail. That may make them think twice about these fake investigations.

Nothing is worth fighting for, literally nothing, if the repugs are going to get mad at them.

Like little boys hiding behind their Momma's skirt, they put Darrell Issa out in front. Because he is the best "con" in the conservative Party. Not "con", as in ex-con but "con" as in con-man. They know what he does well and they are more than willing to stand behind him like the little boys that they are...

peace
