Obama Asserts Executive Privilege On Fast And Furious Documents

[Littlewon]

137. OK, deaths off the table.

We will say that, through of course lives matter, that is not really at issue here. Certainly the Rs have made mistakes resulting in the deaths of hundreds, thousands etc.

Which is more important though?
1. NRA 100% Rating
2. Destroying (an opposition) President

Can we agree that the 2nd is the real prize for Issa? Issa stands to gain a lot more by being the congressman who took down an opposition president than what is certainly a beneficial, though not career making, win with the NRA.

For our discussion, it has nothing to do with Issa being a good or bad man (and I'm happy to leave on the table that he's a bad man.) But If he's an R politician, then his goal is to take out Obama. NRA points are an important, though secondary political win.

Deaths are off the table, and accepted on the table is NRA motive.

Can we leave on the table, too, that Issa's goal is to take out a president at election time? Then he'd get a 500% rating w/NRA in addition to being a hero to righty ideologues.
