Darrell Issa: This time you've gone too far

Thank you, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for keeping this douchebag out of California’s Governor’s Mansion.

(Issa bankrolled the Grey Davis recall to the tune of $1.7 million in an attempt to buy the seat for himself, only to have Arnold jump in at the last minute. It was hilarious watching Issa cry like a little girl at his press conference where he withdrew his candidacy because he needed to" focus on working towards Middle East peace". He even denied that Arnold entering had anything to do with his quitting. Yeah, right :rolleyes:)

How about then, from now on, anything that Issa receives from anyone in the State Department is stamped in large red letters:

No Republican deserves to be in office until polyps like Issa are forever banned from their ranks.

That is IMHO is one of the main reasons why people should not vote for the Republicans this election, their Tea Party elements are taking over and we sure should not be encouraging people like Paul Ryan by electing them to even higher offices or places of influence.

Don’t worry about it, there’s a new era of bi-partisan leadership coming with Romney, who will reacharound Democrats…reach across to Democrats.

I’m OK with this. Let’s just make sure that Issa is punished in exactly the same way as the Wikileaks leaker. If Issa only loses his Congressional seat, then Bradley Manning (or whatever his name is) only gets a dishonorable discharge. If Issa is re-elected, Manning gets his military career back. And so forth.

Once again, Darrell Issa has compromised security with his bullshit antics, this time the security of the Obamacare website and all of the millions who have put sensitive information there:

Fuck this fucking fuck. He needs to be censured and to have any and all requests for any information including the menu for lunch in the Congress dinning hall denied because he’s a treasonous fuck stick who cannot be trusted with the information.

Makes you wonder how he got to be the richest man in Congress, doesn’t it?

How far can a legislator go in activities that threaten the security of the country before her colleagues decide that “enough is enough?” If the Huff Post article is accurate, this goes well beyond the normal pale. In October of 2013, Mr. Issa directly endangered our allies in Libya, but since those were “just some random non-Americans and who cares about them”, the incident didn’t even make it onto the radar for very long.

I am a critic of how the website roll-out went, but deliberately providing information that could fatally compromise its security is clearly a criminal act. Or, at least it is to me. Others more well-versed in the arcane magic of law might be able to address this more cogently. Right now, I am more than a bit miffed at this … human who thinks that he is above reproach.

Wasn’t it by car alarms?

I know that he was a sorry excuse for a human being before he even got into politics, because he put his own voice on that asinine alarm that says, “Step back! You are too close to my car!” It makes sense that anyone who would sell such a piece of crap would be a piece of crap in the legislature.

And isn’t that just the most ironic thing you’ve heard today, considering his past arrests for grand theft auto?

Seriously, to what extent is Issa the same as Snowden? I don’t think being a member of Congress means you can get away with leaking privileged information.

My dark suspicion is that his lurking intention is to provide hints to hackers so they can sabotage the exchanges and he can blame Obama.

To be honest, if any parts of the website have serious known security issues that the contractor is covering up, the website shouldn’t be running. Hackers will find these flaws

Is there any chance – any chance at all – that the voters of Issa’s district will turn him out in November?

Car alarms that talk like that are worthy of a Pit thread unto themselves – except I only encountered one and that was some years ago. I gather they never sold well. Anybody know anything about that? (I think the one I heard said something like “Please stand away from this vehicle” in a faux intimidating voice.)

Any time a car talks to me like that, I would be seriously tempted to effect some serious post-hoc damage. So much for alarms like protecting a vehicle.

Anybody know if that has actually ever happened?

Orange County and San Diego. What Che Guevara called the Anal Wart of the Beast. Well, he would have, if had ever been there.

It’s a Republican stronghold. They made a joke about on the West Wing that the last Democrat elected there won by railing against Lincoln.

You’re a biased idiot who apparently can’t read simple English. The article you’re quoting claims that Issa could (if he published them) compromise the healthcare.gov’s security with the documents he subpoenaed. It definitely doesn’t say that he did compromise it.

Finely ground Orange County is sold over the counter as an emergency buzzkill.
