House opts against condemning Issa
The Hill ^ | March 6, 2014 | Pete Kasperowicz

Posted on 03/06/2014 12:12:13 PM PST by jazusamo

The House on Thursday rejected a Democratic resolution that condemned Oversight & Government Affairs Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) for shutting down a committee hearing without letting any Democrat speak.

With dozens of Democrats standing by her, Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) proposed the resolution Thursday morning, a day after Issa held a combative hearing with a former IRS official involved in the IRS targeting scandal.

every member of the CBC has worn out their race card.

Elijah Cummings especially. Whatever his accomplishments during the civil rights era have been overshadowed by his seditious/downright treasonous behavior since that time.

I had to watch NBC nightly news last night, to see how Brian Williams reported it. As a FReeper said yesterday, the ONLY purpose of Cummings outburst/outrage, was to change the narrative. Sure enough, Brian Williams spent about 3 seconds telling us how Lois Lerner was again pleading the 5th, and then something about “...the real story is that Issa cut off Cummings’ mike.....”.

This is what they are going for, today, with this sideshow meant to deflect all media attention away from the scandal, which has not one iota of corruption involved.

He should have offered to step down on the condition that Trey Gowdy be given the chair.

Guess Fudge felt Issa “disrespected” Cummings.

TOUGH.

TOP DEMOCRAT Elijah Cummings Admits Corruption and Abuse of Power at IRS (VIdeo) May 22, 2013

Conservative files abuse of power complaint against Dem. Rep. Elijah Cummings February 7, 2014

According to Engelbrecht, Cummings used his power to harass and intimidate True the Vote and may have encouraged the IRS and other agencies to target her organizations.

"Congressman Cummings on three separate occasions sent letters on letterhead from this committee, stating that he had concerns and felt it necessary to open an investigation on True the Vote," she said.

Cummings should be under investigation and under arrest not on the committee.

Catherine Engelbrecht ripped Elijah a new one and she was dead on the money, she was definitely not bashful and it’s a shame more Republicans won’t fight like she does.

I'm glad that the first sentence included the word "rejected," because the title word "opts" is so soft that it conveys the thought that it was seriously considered.

FUCBC.

FUDNC.

You guys can run ALL your committees without ANY opposition representation — EVEN TO THE POINT OF RAMMING OBAMACARE DOWN AMERICA’S WINDPIPE — and then when we ONCE refuse to let your stick-dumb, face-full-of-wrinkles, rant and rave in finest crapula form, WE are exclusionary.

Suck it. Seriously, just suck it.

Seeing as the congressional black caucus represents but 15% of the population of the USA they sure seem to have quite the overinflated sense of importance. They act like this nation is all about them. Just like their feckless leader. All these little two-bit moron factions think they gotta come first. The libs, the gays, the greenies, all the freaks of the world and they’re all screaming for attention, like the two-year-olds they are?! I mean all of them together don’t add up to a hill of beans, yet they act like they matter?! In the grand scheme of things they ain’t worth a broke dick. It’s enough to give one a permanent headache.

And what’s the Congressional White Caucus’s (CWC)stance on this? Oh, wait a minute, that would be a racist caucus. Forget it!
