Video- Issa: Tough GOP Oversight Shrinks Government AND Fosters Jobs Growth!

During the 1-2-10 edition of Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, incoming GOP oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) previewed the tough oversight and spending accountability American taxpayers deserve...and will be delivered by the new House Republican Majority in Congress. Yea baby! Here is the 15 minute video clip.

"But where was this train of thought from 2001-2006?"

The tax code has far more to do with controlling the population by rewarding and punishing behavior than it does with government revenue. I won't believe any of these ass-hats of either party is serious about reduction of government until they completely revise and simplify the tax code and tie it to a limited percentage of GDP.

Perhaps Issa was too busy supporting Hezbollah to be concerned with domestic issues? Issa, along with his Arab-American buddy from Virginia, Nick Rahall, is a great friend of our enemies in the Arab world and has repeatedly said as much in the Arab press. “I have a great deal of sympathy for the work that Hezbollah tries to do,” he told the Beirut Daily Star. This was after “the 1986 Hezbollah's torturing to death of Ibrahim Benesti, aged 54, of Beirut, and his elderly relatives, Yehudah and Yosef, whose only crime was being Jewish.” “Benesti, whose family –like many Lebanese Jews – had been in Lebanon since 2,000 B.C. (before the birth of Mohammed), was a charitable and kindly candy store owner who gave free candy to children of all religions.” “Or maybe Jihad Darrell was referring to the “humanitarian” 1985 Hezbollah torture-murder of Isaac Tarab, 63, and Chaim Halala Cohen, 39, also guilty of being Jewish.” (Thanks Debbie Shlussel)

Issa was a personal friend of Yasser Arafat and is a steadfast supporter of CAIR. His instincts as a business man cause some of his judgments to be sensible, but his Arab background and connections are dangerous. He is one of those who has long fought profiling by airlines, the reason Israel has had such success protecting its air passengers without invasive body searches. We must remember who our friends are, and who are our enemies in waiting.

Issa is a moderate and balanced voice on the Middle-East and is popular and respected among BOTH wealthy Jewish and Lebanese Americans in Orange County, CA. I don’t think Issa is a particular friend of CAIR or Islamic interests
and his voting record on Israel has been generally good.

By the way, although you will not find anything about his Arab ethnic origins and family history anywhere on his congressional website or the internet, Arab-American
