Sean just announced...
I will listen to Rep. Darrell Issa (R- 49th District, CA)
See this Drudge Report : CONGRESSMAN WARNS RAHM : THIS ISN'T CHICAGO
Please post some of the action and thanks.
Your comments on Issa are BS
The blogger who smeared him is the same one
who also smeared Sarah Palin.
Don’t agree with the Arafat meeting but meeting with him doesot mean he backed him.
If his views were just a plane crash, he would have long been voted out especially with Camp Pendelton in NW San Diego with tens of thousands of Marines in his general dist.
There are huge numbers on FR who have that view and worse.
The 9/11 Truthers Really sick people.
Issa is one of our 5 congressmen here in San Diego.
The anti war, 9/11 Truthers on FR don’t like Issa and the other Conservative Republicans in congress, especially those who have served in the Military as Issa did.
Have a question about your reaction to Issa taking on Rahm Emmanuel...
Issa could be or not be guilty of getting 9-11 wrong, I don’t know.
But he isn’t wrong on every action and statement he makes, is he?
Of course he isn’t.
Why make him the issue on this thread? What purpose does that serve?
Rahm Emmanuel is the issue and by extension, Obama.
I think that Congressman Issa made the wrong choice of words when he pointed out, as one of his explanations for his opposition to the huge federal payments going to NYC after the September 11 attacks, that the attacks did not involve chemical weapons or things normally under federal responsibility, and that New York State should pay a larger share of the rebuilding.
I think that Issa had a point that the federal payments to NYC were larger than they should have been—remember, NY politicians asked for and got money for all sorts of things only tangentially connected to the terrorist attacks—but obviously it was idiotic to try to draw a distinction between terorist attacks with planes full of fuel and terrorist attacks with chemical weapons. While Issa’s statement was stupid, I think it’s unfair to characterize Issa as treating September 11 as a “joking matter,” and Issa proved how seriously he took the terorist attacks by being a steadfast vote in favor of what President Bush dubbed the “War on Terror” but more correctly should be called the “War on Islamofascism.”
You are spot on!
I too most often use the term Islamofascism
as that best describes the issue.
Issa, being in San Diego Co. has the largest concentration of Military. He is also a Vietnam War Vet.
He more than understands what and why we are fighting.
