US Senator Darrell Issa’s latest
attack on the Obama Administration is
proof positive that he is one of the most irresponsible, Tea Partied lawmakers in Congress!
It’s a good thing sane House Oversight and Government Reform Committee member, Elijah
Cummings, had the guts to out Issa and his Tea
Partied Republican members over their politicized IRS scam.
Issa and Tea Partied Company withheld
IRS
interview transcripts which
clearly indicated that IRS officials’ tax exempt investigations were in
keeping with the law as set forth by
Congress and had absolutely no connection
with the Obama Administration.
When Issa brought forth Tea Partied non-profiteers as witnesses to lie about being targeted unfairly
and unconstitutionally by the Internal
Revenue Service for their “personal(?) beliefs", Issa and Tea Partied Company, conveniently,
failed to disclose that…
… the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights found “copious evidence of political activity
that may well have disqualified their
request for 501(c) (4) non-profit status” ! (
national memo .
Here are a few examples from the article
entitled IRS Hearings: House Committee
Ignores Tea Party’s Non-Exempt Political Shenanigans:
- Politically-focused websites stating “Our aim is to promote – by political action or events – the core Constitutional and conservative values that built America”
- Openly endorsing Right Wing candidates for political office
- Bold affiliations with the Tea Party Patriots “an outfit with its own history of questionable political involvement”
- Organizing trainings for Tea Party activists
- The list goes on and on!
Furthermore, with the help of FOXifiers and other Right Wing media
extremists, Issa and Tea Partied Company conveniently failed to disclose that the
same IRS officials they accused of targeting their profiteering cronies
actually approved the tax exempt
applications of 122 conservative groups in contrast to just
48 liberal (non conservative) ones!
It all boils down to Issa and Tea Partied Company’s, sick,
malicious no holds barred war against the President and his administration.
Remember Issa and Tea Partied Company’s similar Fast and
Furious attack on Attorney General Eric Holder? The only difference was
that they were angry trying to keep the Attorney General distracted from his successful fight to protect our voting rights!
Issa and
Tea Partied Company wasted millions of our hard earned tax dollars on two
years of Fast and Furious hearings including testimonies from 22 of their own witnesses trying to accuse Holder of participating in a
cover-up regarding the Fast and Furious
sting. Just as was the case with the IRS hearings – Issa and Tea Partied Company’s fictitious claims were,
proven to be absolutely false!
When Issa and
Tea Partied Company couldn’t find any wrong doing on Holder’s behalf, they
got furious flinging insults like an obnoxious, spoiled, three year old who was told they couldn’t have a
lollipop! They called Attorney General Holder a “liar”, “incompetent” and everything
else but a child of God!
You know what…
… Issa and Tea Partied Company could use our help!
Advise them about legitimate investigations they should
be holding at...

Here are some examples to get you
started…
- To what extent did health insurance industry lobbyists influence Tea Partied Republican votes AGAINST the Affordable Health Care Act?
- To what extent do corporate lobbyists influence Tea Partied Republican’s fight FOR extending Bush tax cuts for the wealthy?
- To what extent did legislation written by NRA lobbyists influence Tea Partied Republicans’ vote to carry concealed guns across state lines even if states didn’t allow it?
- What are the negative psychological and life-threatening impacts of Congressional AND individual state legislative bills, written by Right Wing anti-abortion groups, related to banning a woman’s legal right to terminate a pregnancy as a result of rape, incest or endangerment to the life of the mother?
WE must teach Issa and Tea Partied Company to fast before acting furious!
