If Republicans got power again, Issa said he would try to subpoena Obama on everything (But he would cut the corporations some slack, his own words BTW), how many of our taxpayer dollars do you think he would spend trying to take Obama down?

Make your guess now.

And not a single person was ever convicted of any crime committed while serving in the Clinton administration.

4. meh... subpoenas are worthless now...
ESPECIALLY congressional subpoenas.

Bush admin just ignored them. They set the precedent. So let Issa issue as many as he wants, Obama will just say fuck you! What's Issa gonna do then???

6. Issa will call on his bullhorn, the entire corporate media
and in a few months of stonewalling, President Obama will me made to look like Pol Pot.

Democratic presidents cant just ignore subpoenas and expect the M$M to keep quiet about it.

5. He said he would double his staff to do it. He has also said, Throw big government Republicans OUT!


Title: Fox News Channel "The Glenn Beck Program" Interview - Transcript

<Issa:> And look, I'm not telling people to vote against Democrats. I'm saying that your listeners should vote against Republicans or Democrats if they're continuing to vote for this big government. And hopefully, if a few Democrats gets taken out in the primary, and if there's any Republicans left foolish enough to vote for bigger government, take them out! Take both of them out, and we will have a better America.

8. Four hundred million, and not a cent less
The Republicans spent $90 million attempting to take down President Clinton in the 1990s. In the 2010s, slinging shit is twice as expensive as it was and Obama is (according to them) twice as evil as Clinton was, so they'll have to spend four times as much plus add in another $40 million just for good measure.
