Darrell Issa Needs to Channel Eliot Ness

As the United States continues on its downward trajectory, thanks to the policies of the Obama administration, the debate rages about whether he’s doing it all on purpose or whether he is merely incompetent. When talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh discusses this, he concludes that “it doesn’t matter” because the result is the same either way.

Limbaugh misses a critical distinction. If Obama is incompetent, it means he must be voted out of office. If he is intentionally destroying the country as it was founded, it means he has malicious intent and must be removed through impeachment and a Senate trial. It would also mean that he is a domestic enemy.

It wouldn’t matter if Al Capone were president of the United States, impeachment and a Senate trial is the only way to remove a sitting president from office. As for Capone, the Chicago mob boss was guilty of many things, the worst of which was murder. The feds knew this but couldn’t prove it. They also knew Capone was guilty of income tax evasion, which they could and did prove. Perhaps he wasn’t convicted of his most egregious crimes, but it didn’t matter; he could do no more damage.

If our representatives do not follow the evidence to prosecute this man, they are indeed guilty of dereliction of duty.

Let’s hope he “Channels” the Elliot Ness of legend, and not the later drunkard hit & run driver of history!

Issa has so much fun brewing on his stove. Where to begin?

Americans would take the allegations, whether true or false, and I trust Issa infinitely more than Obama, a lot more seriously if the House did start impeachment proceedings. Some Republicans fear a backlash of sympathy like what Bill Clinton got. However what Clinton did (fibbed to Congress about his non-sex “sex”) seems like such a childish, trivial transgression compared to what Obama is doing right now.

but....but....but.... Obama just saved the entire East Coast from the ravages of a hurricane Irene.

The only way to rid ourselves of this disaster in human form is by our vote. There will be no impeachment and removal of 0bummer. Let's hope that his expulsion by our vote will be possible. Not a pessimist but a realist.

Republicans in the House of Representatives have disappointed by their inertia in investigating this administration.

I believe they were afraid that all threads of investigation concerning the housing crisis and the economy in general ultimately wind up back showing complicity by Republicans in sustaining Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and in voting themselves earmarks etc.

Whatever the reason, the Republican House has been in business now since January 2011 and has done precious little by way of hearings to expose the regulatory outrages of the Obama administration. It has not conducted meaningful hearings into voter fraud. It is not sought to expose the financial control of the Democratic Party by George Soros. It has not sought to expose the situation on the Mexican border. It has failed to conduct hearings into the real extent of unemployment, especially by Americans who cannot find a job and who have given up. What about hearings into Obamacare and the granting of exemptions?

The list can go on and on. Representative Darrell Issa is not the only Republican in the House of Representatives and his is not the only investigative committee.

The rest of this article concerning impeachment is pure bunk and a waste of the readers time.

[Bullish]

Heck, the House Republicans can’t even get the Maxine Watters investigation started and that’s an absolute slam dunk case of financial gain from obvious political manipulation. So how can they do anything difficult?

They just don’t seem to have the gnads to fight these democrats. They’ll just wait until it’s too late to fight them and America will end up on the ash heap of history.

Pubbies are blowing it big time.

I heard a local talk show host say yesterday that white people will think twice about ever voting for a black presidential candidate again. To labeled a racist for disagreeing with obama about anything he says or does is not going over too well across America.

That being said, it is obvious obama is on steroids trying to destroy the America we know before the next election.

According to insiders he is purposely dragging it out until 2012, i.e. election cycle.

How about Estes Kefauver? He was a Dem but he knew how to turn over the rocks and make the slugs cringe.
