Could you imagine if you changed the name Issa for the name Obama on the post below?

It is mind boggling just fucking mind boggling that we hear hardly a peep out of elected Dems or
Pundits on Issa’s past.....I had to random search for this...Absolutely nuts, that Dems once again refuse to stick their cowardly necks outside the box...
And anyone who disagrees with me, I say this... PEOPLE”S LIVES ARE AT STAKE!!

Darrell Issa Car Thief....Darrell Issa (R CA) himself has lived
through numerous scandals
Darrell Issa says "My brother was a car thief. He took the rap for
me."
---- Darrell Issa Hall of Shame Moments

Thief | Define Thief at Dictionary.com ....a person who steals, esp.
secretly or without open force; one guilty of theft or larceny. Use
thief in a Sentence ....·" Issa is a thief. And so it goes. At every
turn, Darrell Issa has served as a faithful Republican thief and
hatchet man, ..."

In 1980, when Issa was indicted for felony auto theft, he was 27 years
old. In 1982, when he was under suspicion for the arson fire, and
weapons charges, he was 29 years old. Just a kid? Too long ago to
remember?

I was exonerated of all wrongdoing. My brother went on to have a long
and sordid career," he told the Times. "I am not my brother. I am not
my brother's keeper."

In a third incident, a retired Army sergeant claimed that in 1971
Issa, then an enlisted man, had stolen a Dodge sedan from an Army post
near Pittsburgh. He really doesn't remember the details

Issa, 49, became a multimillionaire manufacturer of electronic auto
alarms, including the
popular "Viper" anti-theft device. "When people ask me why I got into
the car alarm business, I tell them the truth," he said in a statement
to The Chronicle. "It was because my brother was a car thief." Issa's
past now qualifies him for a higher political office.

And then there was the matter of Issa’s performance on the House
Judiciary Committee where he accused outed CIA agent, Valerie Plame,
of committing perjury as she and her husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson,
testified after Plame’s career had been destroyed by the Bush White
House.

Of course, nobody else ever accused Ms. Plame of perjury or anything
other than doing her job in the interest of her country.

While there are many other instances of Issa’s remarkable bad
behavior, I think my favorite would have to be the incident where he
threw his own brother under a particularly large bus.

Keep your eye on this up and coming GOP mover. And, it might also be
a good idea to keep you eye on your automobile.

Darrell Issa To Lead Obama Investigations: Suspected Arson, Car Theft,
Weapons Charges! Wait! That Is Issa's Past

By Jillian Barclay

Darrell Issa, Multi-Millionaire Congressman Is Not Mr. Clean! Darrell
Issa, Republican Congressman from California, who has a checkered
past, with multiple arrests for auto theft and weapons charges, was
also suspected of arson for a fire that destroyed one of the buildings
he owned. Now, the man who sobbed for television cameras when his
party backed Arnold for governor of California instead of him, is
planning to spend the next two years of his Congressional life
investigating the Obama administration, but this time he will be using
taxpayer money to pursue Obama.

When Issa became the Republican hatchet man who was almost solely
responsible for the recall of California's Governor Gray Davis in
2003, he had to use his own money. At that time, Issa donated almost 2
million dollars to the recall effort because he had plans to be
crowned the new and improved governor of California. Issa's ambitions
to govern the state in which he was, years earlier, indicted along
with his brother for auto theft, never came to fruition because the
Republican party pulled the rug out from under Issa and his dreams of
power. He sobbed openly when withdrawing his name as the chosen one.
His party had betrayed him, so now when the new Congress convenes in
January, Issa will try again to make a name for himself with his
party. He has stated that he plans to hold at least seven hearings a
week as head of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.

Just who is Darrell Issa and what is his past? First, Issa's history
with auto theft charges: In 1971, Issa reportedly took a Dodge sedan
from an Army post where he was stationed near Pittsburgh. There were
no charges filed in that case, but the story was leaked to the press
by a retired Army sergeant, who says he threatened Issa and then was
able to retrieve the car. As a college student in 1972, Issa and his
brother were arrested in Cleveland, suspected of stealing a red
Maserati from a dealership. The witnesses recognized Darrell and his
brother, William as they pushed the Maserati down the street. The
third incident took place in San Jose, California. In 1980, Issa,
then
27 years old, and his brother William, 29, were again arrested and
this time indicted on felony auto theft charges. William Issa, using
his brother's second driver's license, sold younger Darrell's cherry
red Mercedes to a dealer for $16,000.00. Three hours after William
received and cashed the check, Darrell reported the car stolen. The
police also charged Darrell because his answers to questions were
inconsistent. Why did he have two driver's licenses? Initially, Issa
denied having two driver's licenses, but then changed his story.
Simple, responded Issa. He did not like the way his picture came out
in the first one. As to whether Darrell knew the identity of the man
pictured in the composite drawing of the suspect (his brother), Issa
stated he did not know who the man was, but would like to send the
picture to his mother to see if she knew who it was. According to
detectives, the composite was so detailed that it was clearly a
composite of William. That answer and answers to other questions
created so much doubt in the minds of the police officers involved,
they arrested and charged both brothers, even though Darrell
reportedly offered to pay the auto dealer more than the $16,000.00
that William was paid.

Issa Sobbing Is 7:40 Into The Video! Suspicious Fire and the Weapons
Charges!

In 1982, Issa was suspected, but never charged in a suspicious fire
that burned his Ohio manufacturing plant. Although there was
insufficient evidence to prosecute Issa, the police suspected he was
behind the fire based on two facts. Just a few weeks prior to the
fire, Issa increased the fire insurance coverage to quadruple the
original amount and according to the company bookkeeper, Karen
Brasdovich, a few days before the fire, records and a company computer
were removed from the plant, which was completely out of character for
Issa. Charges were not filed due to lack of evidence, but the
suspicions remain.

Issa was arrested twice for weapons charges, once in Ohio and once in
Michigan. While Issa was in Ohio, he was given the job of firing a
high level executive, Jack Frantz. Frantz recalls that Issa came into
his office carrying a box. Issa opened the box and showed Frantz the
gun. Frantz knew he was being fired and felt that was Issa's method of
intimidating him. Frantz relayed the story to the Los Angeles Times
and in response, Issa told the reporter, "No shots were ever fired."
He further stated that he doesn't even remember whether he had a gun
that day. The bookkeeper backed up Frantz's story, telling the LA
Times that day was frightening. In the Michigan case, Issa received
probation and paid a fine.

Issa Becomes A Multi-Millionaire Selling Car Alarms! Isn't It Ironic?
Darrell Issa made his millions by developing and selling car alarms,
including the top-selling Viper. Issa's own voice was used for the
Viper, which would say things like, "Step away from the car." He has
stated that he started the company because his brother was a prolific
car thief.

The company, Directed Electronics, is responsible for Issa's listed
worth of $164 million dollars. He was listed in 2009 as the second
wealthiest member of Congress, with only John Kerry being worth more
money.

Issa Just A Kid When He Was In Trouble!
Whenever Congressman Issa is pressed by reporters to explain past
arrests and scandals, he has almost always bristled and brushed off
the questions. He has repeatedly stated that he was "just a kid" or
that it "was my brother." He additionally states that these things
happened so long ago that he really doesn't remember the details.

In 1980, when Issa was indicted for felony auto theft, he was 27 years
old. In 1982, when he was under suspicion for the arson fire, he was
29 years old. Just a kid? Too long ago to remember?

Issa's motivations for making his most recent threats of non-stop
subpoenas are unknown. When he attacked Gray Davis, he wanted the
Governorship of California to be his prize. Many stated at the time
that Issa had a longer history of arrests than of service to the state
of California. Outside the state of California, Issa is a relative
nobody. Clearly, he will be making a national name for himself in his
soon to be position of power. If he conducts seven hearings a week as
promised, his name should make almost every daily news cycle. What
reward will Issa expect this time? If his efforts go unrewarded over
the next two years, will there be a national update to his infamous
California crying scene? California is holding its collective breath,
waiting to see the latest chapter of the Issa saga!

Here is my original thread:



Are Democrats fearful of Republican bullies?/

For 4 1/2 years Republicans have pushed the democrats around knowing that the Dems. have little appetite for fighting back. The lies and misrepresentations over the so called 3 scandals which the republicans have pushed for the last week have for the most part been exposed for what they are...
Made up stories to distract the American people from the real issues of unemployment and the overall evaporation of the middle class.

Why aren’t dems setting up war rooms in the House and Senate... inviting reporters in on a round the clock basis..to fully discuss each lying scandal on an hourly basis... I mean there should be a pot of coffee brewing and doughnuts for everyone in this round the clock operation...New news would be brought in whenever another lie is uncovered and reporters would have full access to this info as soon as it arrives. There would be chalkboards,updated info sheets and links to other war rooms around the country... This would be one example how the weak dems. could actually throw a punch or two.. in order to show that we are not going to cower any more... A War Room for Christ Sakes..

Take the shit to them instead of letting them control the storyline...

Shaq's comment concerning Obama says everything.

The guy capturing the comment spews a lie and Shaq doesn’t respond.. I’m not blaming Shaq at all, you know he must love Obama ( my feeling), but probably didn’t know how to respond...The fucking guy mentions “credit rating problem” like its fact that its Obama’s fault..
Isn’t this a sad commentary on our state of affairs (politics) in our country now?

It’s not easy being on the side which does not control the media!
