4. What an assclown.

What exactly is he going to be investigating. Does he have anything other than what's in his fevered imagination? Dammit, we have REAL problems in this country and these nitwits want to tie everything up with tax dollar wasting investigations.

Mr. Lamar Smith, please, prove your conservative stripes and do not waste our tax dollars on this nonsense!

5. They know its BS..but their goal is to paint the Prez as Dangerous: "Dont re-elect for '12"

Fox will cover it endlessly and the rest of the MSM will follow. Raising doubts of this president is part of destroying him so he doesnt get reelected...the repubs primary goal.
Seeing as how Obama is still crazily open to working with repubs to the point of letting them have anything they want i am a bit perplexed -- is he working for us or for them?

7. Just as they did with "Vince Foster murdered," "Whitewater-Gate," etc.

Republicans know it's the DRUM-BEAT that is heard, not the SILENCE.

6. the whole "payback's a bitch" attitude has reared it's ugly head.

They're playing audio of Nancy Pelosi from last year in the Pub offices.

9. Payback for what, exactly?

The Bush regime enabled by Republican majorities ran riot for eight years in the most murderous criminal display of recent decades, waging aggressive war and declaring the legitimacy of torture, unitary executive doctrine and "shadow government" under emergency decree. Well, seven before the Pentagon itself shut down Iran attack plans in 2007 and the economic disaster made them hand off control to the banksters' coup of September 2008. Since then their crimes have gone uninvestigated while Obama kept Gates, reappointed Bernanke, continued the bankster bailouts, doubled down on "No Child Left Behind" and maintained some of the worst excesses of the "war on terror" under new brandnames. So what are they complaining about?

10. they're talking about how Nancy shut them out in 09

and hurt their feelings ;)

11. It just makes me sick that we didn't investigate the last administration.

Why are democrats so nice?

[ampad]

12. I know

What is more sickening is that the repigs have the house and are now talking about investigating Bush. IMO dems should of been the ones to investigate Bush. You know any investigation coming out of the house right now is going to be a half ass attempt.
