Wikipedia article on Darrell Issa

[Windflier]

For years and years, when I lived in California, Darrell Issa was considered to be one of our state’s staunchest conservatives.

Now look at him. Just another glad-handing, weasel politician, selling his soul to stay in Congress.

He may as well switch parties now, the lyin SOB.

The first and foremost job of any elected official is to get re-elected.

Once you digest that, you know you're dealing with snakes that change skins as seasons require.

Issa‘s district, which straddles the Orange-San Diego county line, is a traditionally Republican stronghold that’s trending blue. The GOP’s voter-registration advantage of 14 percentage points in 2012 was cut in half by November’s election, and the district favored Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, 51 percent to 43 percent, according to a Daily Kos analysis. A quarter of the district’s voters are independents.

Maybe we shouldn't be too hard on Issa as he's a California Republican whose district is changing beneath his feet. But he also shouldn't be a committee chairman or in any real leadership position in the party. He'll probably be the last Republican of any variety to win a seat from that district.

Are y’all saying that a clone on Maxine Waters will serve us better than a republican who has saved us as well as he has in a tough district???

Yes he turns to the Left for his final term in Congress.
