(62,325 posts)He was the one who introduced the illegal Bill of Attainder to defund ACORN. Did Democrats stand up to him then? No, they let a weasel like O'Keefe and Issa take down a 40 year old organization that had stood up for minorities against Republican bigotry for decades.
Issa was also responsible for the recall of a Democratic Governor in Ca and airc, Democrats went along with the lies he told regarding that Governor and still do.
He himself refused to respond to subpoenas, but suffered no consequences from Democrats that I recall.
Like a temper throwing brat, he was catered to, over and over again, AGAINST OUR WISHES, and now you tell us 'we need to stand up to him'?
I remember being told we could NOT stand up to him regarding ACORN. So he got his way, over and over again.
Thanks to all of those who told us we were wrong when we wanted to fight Republicans. Thanks for putting us in a position where we now have to defend one of the worst DOJs appointed by a Democrat, who let Republicans off the hook over and over again, including the crooked Sen. Stevens, while supporting the corrupt, political prosecution of a GOOD Democrat and victim of Karl Rove, Don Siegelman.
Yes, we know we have to support him in order to not allow Issa have yet another victory. It's just sad that the party finally decides to take a stand against Republicans for someone who himself never has.
Well, to be fair, he has finally gone after Arpaio, but that's about the only one I can think of.
