Bachmann: 'All we should do' is issue subpoenas and hold hearings

Should Republicans take back the House in November, Rep. Michele Bachmann said she wants the GOP to focus all of its attention on issuing subpoenas and holding hearings investigating the Obama administration and Democrats.

“I think that’s all we should do,” Bachmann said at the GOP Youth Convention in Washington on Thursday. “I think all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another and expose all the nonsense that has gone on."

Bachmann said that Republicans have all their chips on the table in November. “This is the year — this is it,” she said.

Republicans need to gain 39 seats in November in order to retake the House, which even President Obama’s Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has admitted is possible.

By winning the House, Republicans would be able to issue subpoenas through controlling the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which has subpoena power.

Give the Rats, especially Henry Waxman, a taste of their own medicine. But, the majority of the Congrssional Pubbies don’t have the guts and don’t want to “upset” the Rats. Same old song.

we’ve reached hell on the road paved with good intentions... getting through it will now be a rough road. starting is the key to better days, prolonging it will mean more time spent there.

Exactly. What have the Democrats been doing in dark corridors about Jobs? Two wars? North Korea? and Israel?

The American people have a right to know.

Michele assumes the GOP will have the ‘nads to go after these crooks.

I haven't seen any evidence of this to date...

With Bolton to clean up Foggy Bottom and North as Sec of Defense, now yer talkin’.

WOOOOO-HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Somebody gets it!

Until we get a handle on how this communist coup happened and clean house, nothing else makes any difference anyway.

Laws that are broken at will don’t make a hootin’ hill of difference. Why waste anybody’s time on making laws, when the people have no way to enforce them and the people who are supposed to enforce them are all part of the corrupt thugocracy?

At this point, even bickering over what laws get passed is tantamount to Harvey Dent in “The Dark Knight” petitioning government to make the Joker’s crimes illegal. They’re ALREADY ILLEGAL, but the system is so corrupt that it doesn’t even MATTER what’s legal.

That is precisely where America is at right now.

I completely agree with him. Most of the press isn't going to do any digging and the justice department isn't going to do anything either.

“....the GOP to focus all of its attention on issuing subpoenas and holding hearings investigating the Obama administration and Democrats.”

.
No more reaching across the aisle, you think?

Hmmm, let’s just wait and see before we celebrate.
