The Dems have been willing to kick the can down the road themselves. But in this case it is only prolonging the GOP downturn. Everytime they trot out this "hold government hostage" strategy - they get their asses kicked. They might as well rip the bandaid of once - quickly - and then be done with it.
Either stand up and make your big play - or find a new strategy. Everytime they do this - they lose support that they just can't seem to win back.
It's true both parties have been to willing to kick the can down the road, generally leaving important issues unresolved for years. Leaders who put highly partisan members into committee chairs only exacerbate a broken system.
How much money did Darrell Issa cost the taxpayers with his partisan investigations, and what did he accomplish?
So you oppose the GOP temporarily raising the debt ceiling. Good.
Issa's investigations are turning over some nasty shit. Latest is that the IRS shared confidential data with the White House. That is a felony, in case you have any knowledge of law enforcement, which I doubt.
Rabbi, the question is, how much of the taxpayer's money did Issa waste on his partisan investigations and what was the outcome?
If a felony occurred and the White House is culpable wouldn't there have been an indictment or impeachment? Are you lying AGAIN?
" When Republicans won control of the House of Representatives in 2010, Representative Darrell Issa of California was supposed to become a star. Issa, who made no secret of his ambition, took over the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, vowing to use the power of his chairmanship to stage hundreds of hearings and hold the Obama administration to account. Anticipating what he promised would be “constant battle,” the White House hired extra lawyers and braced for the onslaught.
"But Issa wasn’t the force people expected him to be. His biggest investigation, into the botched anti-gun smuggling operation that left a Border Patrol agent dead, incited right-wing talk radio listeners. Beyond that, though, it barely registered. After two years in power, Issa seemed more bark than bite."

Darrell Issa's IRS Investigation Is Falling Apart - Businessweek
As for your foolish comment on the IRS, "But after a burst of attention, Issa’s investigation appears to have stalled. Although he turned up embarrassing material—has any government official been humiliated quite like the IRS commissioner in the dorky video dressed up as Spock?—Issa hasn’t made the all-important connection to the White House. And he may not be able to. The news this week that he won’t release the full transcripts of his interviews with IRS officials—interviews he selectively quoted from to imply White House complicity—suggests that what they contain may in fact exonerate the administration of the very charge Issa is laboring so hard to prosecute."
You are now free to call me a name, use sexually vulgar comments and ignore the fact that you've been once again proven to be a LIAR.
