Darrell Issa, who built a reputation in Congress as an imposing conservative attack dog, has got a brand new bag.
With Democrats closing in on his seat last fall, Issa mailed a campaign ad praising President Barack Obama for signing a victims rights bill Issa supported -- the same Obama he unrelentingly criticized while serving as the high-profile chairman of the House Oversight Committee.
The pro-life congressman, who squeaked out reelection to a ninth term by 0.7 percentage points, told constituents at a town hall March 11 that he opposed fellow Republicans call to defund Planned Parenthood.
Despite a lifetime legislative score of just 4 percent from the League of Conservation Voters, Issa also told the crowd that he also opposed any reduction in funding to the Environmental Protection Agency. Two days later, the same politician whos said theres no consensus on climate change joined the House Climate Solutions Caucus.

This fool issa is a master of Kabuki theater. What has this clown ever accomplished?
Another Democrat in an R jersey
Ambition over Principle; Waste over Principle.
It is strong, that siren call from the dark side...
If it's taxpayer money, the Money Fairy has an endless supply. Doesn't count. Living in the swamp only up to your knees doesn't really matter that much.
Has he not done that?
In California, that's a tough call.
The corruption of power, greed, ignorance and gibesmedat of the majority of voters makes any attempt to avoid the State's death spiral almost useless.
Perhaps he should simple see he gave it his best shot and let someone more persuasive and knowledgeable take over.
Is is no coincidence that if you spell his name backwards, it is:
ASS I
It has been under question for a long time. The committee he chaired was where good conservative issues went to die. Was he always an infiltrator, saying a few of the vote-getting things during campaigns? Probably.
Principles...
Look up TOOTHLESS TIGER on the google machine. There he is...Mr. Issa.
1. Push for federal protection of the voting booth, so that illegals can't vote in the next one. Right now, they get their drivers license and register to vote at the DMV. In a country that won't deport them for rape, do they really care about voting illegally? In this district, it has to be tens of thousands of votes.
2. Support Trump fully and strenuously. His squishiness is turning off those who would come out and support him, people like me. I voted for him, but I don't like him. How many didn't? Another tens of thousands.
If he does those things, he wins by a lot and these leftists nipping at his district will go away. If he doesn't, he will lose next time. Simple as that. Sadly, he doesn't get it , and is doing squishy things lately, like making idiotic statements about Russia. Maybe Trump needs to call him in for a chat and tighten up his skirt.
No, Issa did not just turn Left. He was a Leftist masquerading as a Conservative to get elected. This ploy as worked well over the years for John Sydney Mc Cain, Arizona’s adored and beloved. As it has for his girlfriend, the one Linda,nee,Lindsey Graham. His [Issa’s ] true colors are now coming out.
Most politicians are lawyers.
Lawyers are taught to argue the position that’s the most lucrative.
Ergo, most politicians are for sale to the highest bidder.
I think that’s a great answer. He’s got to lead and be persuasive, but at the end of the day he is to represent the district and their desires.
>I think thats a great answer. Hes got to lead and be persuasive, but at the end of the day he is to represent the district and their desires.
And I’ll be voting against him in 2020.
Dour Darrell has always turned me off.
I agree. Issa has always seemed seedy.
Why would someone who’s filthy rich want to serve in Congress so bad that he’s willing to sell his soul?
Because it would seem to the world that the left STOLE a Republican and they are somebody!
Whoopee!!
What would ANYONE expect when the state of CA. is OVERRUN with illegals!!!! If SOMETHING is not done quickly with the immigration problem the WHOLE DAMNED country will be just like CA.!!!
He has always been a phony. He only cares about maintains his seat
