A Republican Party that was worth spit would make sure this was subject of a series of investigations by House committees.
Multiple reasons:
- It would keep the story in front of the electorate.
- It would be a chance to explain to the American people why the policies of Obama are crazy and destructive, and why the Republicans are the best hope of a defense against the damage and for a way to repair the damage
- It would generate tons of wonderful sound-bytes as the dimwitted socialist anti-work Democrats defended the policy.
- It would demonstrate that they care about something besides feeding their Potomac Fever.
- It would show everyone that they have a pulse.
- It would show the base that they cared.
To me, this is a no-brainer.
But I'm sure the Republican leadership can come up with all kinds of reasons why they can't do it.
From where I am sitting, there is no more “Republican” leadership; they are complicit. Our government is no longer “ours”, it is theirs and they intend to keep it that way.
