Drudge Report : CONGRESSMAN WARNS RAHM : THIS ISN'T CHICAGO

COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM ^ | August 4, 2009 | Darell Issa

[RobinMasters]

WASHINGTON. D.C. – Following reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been orchestrating an effort to intimidate members of Congress and Governors who raise legitimate concerns regarding the effectiveness of the stimulus, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to Emanuel saying “While this type of scare tactic may work In Chicago, it will not work to intimidate me or other Members of the United States Congress.”

“I and others have dared to bring these facts to the attention of President Obama, the Congress and the American people,” Issa wrote. “You’ve unfortunately reacted by once again resorting to the playbook of the Chicago political machine.”

Last month, Politico reported that Emanuel had “launched a coordinated effort to jam” Senator Kyl and other Administration critics… “[A]fter seeing Kyl and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) again paint the legislation as a failure on Sunday talk shows, White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel directed that the letters from the Cabinet secretaries be sent to [Governor] Brewer, according to two administration officials.”

I don’t know how to post pics but this photo also reminds me of The Grinch (Jim Carrey).

Howdy neighbor! My congressman is Brian Billbray. Adding Duncan D. Hunter into the mix and we have quite a strong group of conservatives down here. We can also throw Tom McClintock in. Even though he's Northern CA, he is very conservative and usually pretty vocal about it

I believe together they will make a difference and help other R's get a little backbone.

The Democrat party is a haven for the, shall we say, “appearance challenged” and folks who felt they grew up always getting the short end of the stick. This is payback time for them. He probably was the playground’s kicking boy, and now he is meting it out.

Wow! Excellent credentials! Pretty much covers the bases. Go, Darrell!!!

IIRC, Darrell Issa is of Lebanese descent.

Excellent! Thanks for posting the link to the letter.

OK, that’s it.

From now on I will refer to Rahm as the “nasty ballerina.”

Thanks for the suggestion.

Few Realize that the Obama Movement is nationalist socialist, same as Mussolini and der Fuher. Maybe AMericans will start tio catch on, because we need to fight them, and if we do not know they are facisti, we will not know their weakness.

For one, fascists can't stand to be ridiculed, depopularized, or have their propaganda fail as it is now. Communists wouldn't even respond, or they would make people disappear. Fascists want to wip up the emotions, and make a call to action. Thats next BTW.

Your photo post is 100% accurate, but most can't see it. They will soon.

Collectivists, or “central planners”, with history as my witness,

make questioning and ridicule of their policies into a crime, akin to treason.
