Its a start but they better hold themselves to the same standards so deal making is off the table.

If I was in Lamar Smith's place, I'd investigate Holder so thoroughly he'd have to submit receipts for his socks.

Holder is criminal of the nth degree.It shouldn't take too much to find that ONE smoking gun memo and/or email that'd put him in the Graybar Hotel for 10 years. And that would just be the start.

As the saying goes: I'd beat him like a rented mule.
(legally of course)

Start with one investigation,an easy one to win,the voter intimidaion case. In a few months start another. Announcing a half dozen out of the gate will be awful.
For all those that want solutions to other problems i say sure but these are criminals in office. They need to be exposed and treated as such.

“The American public wants Congress to work together

I'd rather they bring back dueling.

Not sure about that.
If the GOP/Conservatives showed some backbone and tore into the crap Barky has spread, the MSM might give us some respect.

“I wanna know who crashed the market in September of 2008, just prior to the election, causing us to crap out $ 700 billion dollars in TARP !!!!!”

Megadittoes on that one! That’s the granddaddy of all mysteries.

I predict Soros, Schumer, Dick Durbin, Dodd, Barney Fwank and Harry Reid are up to their eyeballs in that skullduggery.

Nobody has personal control over what the market does.

They better not screw this up, or whitewash what they find.

If they don't even try very hard, there should be hundreds of executions for treason.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Boy that worked so great with Clinton. Here’s an idea GOP, how about you LEAD? How about you start getting legislation passed (and repealed) that aids the country in getting out of this hole? How about you live the ideals you represent, instead of engaging in the endless finger-pointing and saying “Boy look at that piece of crap.” That’s not leadership.

I would be nice if they started stepping down the path of removing the legal weight of executive regulatory agencies.

Nothing should have the force of law that Congress doesn’t vote on.

Agenda of story: Don’t vote Repub, as they will tie up Congress with petty investigations, and get nothing done.

I like your way of thinking. The execution part is way over due. They should start with that Wickyleaks founder and work there way up to Soros.

After the spending is being bought under control, and the Czars are 'de-funded', I would like to see hearings on government funding of elections. As part of those hearings, perhaps inquiry could be made into unverified credit card contributions to a presidential campaign.

Did the obammy campaign ever verify that the millions of “small” donations they received were, in fact, legal?

Every other law abiding candidate used the process that the credit card companies offer that verifies the address of the credit card customer BEFORE the transaction is processed.(Like, before they ship the goods.) Obammy’s boyz turned that feature off, and, when asked, said they would verify the addresses after the campaign. (Yeah right.)

The appropriate committee should ask: “Should Congress amend the election financing laws to require that credit card contributions be confirmed to be from United States Citizens before they are accepted by the campaign?” and during the hearings look into the 2008 elections, including the primaries. If illegal foreign contributions are accepted by the campaign, what penalty would be appropriate?

Completely defund the EPA and replace it with an agency controlled by the states that will offer them dispute resolution for matters pertaining to cross-border air/water pollution issues only.
