Darrell Issa Must Resign

I call on Mitt Romney to demand the immediate resignation of Rep. Darrell Issa from his chairmanship of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. And I call on Rep. Darrell Issa to immediately resign from Congress in disgrace. To stand for reelection after endangering the lives of Libyans working in cooperation with the United States or seeking our assistance would be an insult to our country. If he doesn't resign, he should be treated exactly as Julian Assange has been treated. Doing indiscriminate document dumps of sensitive government records is a crime, and when a chairman of a government committee does such a thing in a nakedly partisan attempt to influence an election, they should no longer serve in Congress.

I thought the left loved whistle blowers. I guess only if the whistle is being blown on a repuke.

This is democrat SOP, when the dem does something wrong turn those who look into it into the bad guys.

14. I demand the media focus on Issa as the threat to national security that he is

I haven't seen even a whisper about this story in the national media. Without coverage of these bad acts, criminals like Issa feel free to commit any atrocity against the people of the United States that suits their whim and lust for power. There is no shortage in the world of criminals like Issa. If we had true and civically concerned journalism in this country, the Issa's of this world would never get the opportunity to do this kind of damage.

0bama went to bed upon hearing news that our ambassador was missing, prior to that he and Hillary denied the extra protection that Chris Stevens was begging for. Now you goons have the balls to say that Issa is a danger?

Of course Issa is a danger to national security! He's looking into the President's actions and saying his decisions are illegal! He's threatening the President!!! {/DU mode}

I agree, DUmmie.  The press should shine a light on this.  Of course, it would catch Obama in the spotlight and sink his reelection like an iceberg striking the Titanic, but what the hell.  I'll trade one representative for the president.

Obamacare’s Hidden Switcheroo
The law plans to cut $200 billion from Medicare Advantage to fund Medicaid.
By John Fund

One of the least-discussed tricks of Obamacare is that it plans to cut $200 billion from Medicare Advantage (the popular program that provides 27 percent of seniors with privately managed Medicare plans) and use that money to subsidize expanding coverage to millions of uninsured Americans under Medicaid (the government’s program for the poor). In the run-up to the election, Obamacare bureaucrats have been doing all they can to hide this switcheroo from the American people.

On Friday, Representative Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, blew the whistle on the bureaucrats’ stalling tactic: He intends to issue a subpoena for key documents from the Department of Health and Human Services that will shed light on “a brazen attempt to hide the true costs of Obamacare.”

Issa says that bureaucrats inside HHS have strung along his committee since May, and he has had enough. “Your staff has run out of excuses and the long delay in providing these documents is inexcusable,” he wrote Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in a letter this week. Late on Friday, HHS did belatedly deliver 1,300 pages related to his request, but they were in a completely unorganized form, and more than 600 of them were simply tables of numerical data.

In what it calls a demonstration project, the administration plans to direct some $8.3 billion into Medicare Advantage — enough to offset 71 percent of the cuts planned in the program from this year until 2014. Channeling $8.3 billion into Medicare Advantage is an attempt, Issa says, to hide the pain of the soon-to-come $200-billion cut. The “demonstration project” rationale HHS is using to delay the $200 billion cut is, Issa says, a “political fiction that is being used to buy votes in this election.”

I don't care whether or not he resigns first.

Wrong DUmmy.  It's Princess Three Putt that's got to go.  Darrell Issa--speaking truth to power.

The buffoons at democrat underground are in a full panic at every front.
