The Question Everyone is Asking: Who gets the first subpoena?

There are many reasons to celebrate the Republican takeover of the People's House this morning. One of them will be the ability of Republicans to pull away the curtain and see what the Obama team has really been up to as it bullied Americans over the last two years. Congressman Darrell Issa will be very busy as head of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, holding hearings and calling in federal officials to testify about a wide variety of actions: the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case being among them.

Ah. An easy one. That would be our Attorney General: Eric the Red

That was my first thought as well.

And I'd add whoever the Hawaii official is that has stonewalled access to the (incriminating) long form BC.

And how about immunity for Blago if he'll drop dime on the Rezko/Obama/Emmanuel corruption ring?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I hope nobody. Being obsessed with the past is how the gains of 94 got squandered. It’s time to govern the future not prosecute the past, hearing never accomplish anything. The first thing they should do is pass a federal budget in the House, making a big show of how it’s 6 months over due and we all know the still Dem controlled Senate will ignore it completely. Setup for 2012.

Actually, I need to add another:

George Soros.

Full subpoena of all financial records and communications with anyone associated with the White House.

Eric, my advice to you... make sure your lawyer reads things (unlike you when it came to the AZ anti-illegal immigration law... where you commented/shot it down before knowing what was in the law).

You better bring a tent and sleeping bag and provisions to your hearings because you're going to be there for quite a while starting January.

Will there even be a first subpoena or is this more hot air?

"I hope nobody. Being obsessed with the past is how the gains of 94 got squandered."

I agree. It's also how the Dems squandered their 2006 and 2008 gains. They wanted to revisit, over and over, every real or imagined scandal of the Bush administration, and the public got sick of it.

[ridesthemiles]

Add Harry Reid to that list.

How can a candidate go from 2-4 points ahead to 13 points behind?

[discostu]

Yeah, the public can barely tolerate the politics of revenge when things are going well. When the economy is in the toilet... well we see the results. The best thing a GOP House facing a Dem Senate and Pres can do is make a lot of noise passing lots of laws, watch them die in the Senate and get vetoed and be in a position in 2012 to say “we tried but they wouldn’t let us”. Try to shrink government, and the budget, and taxes, pass them over an over, own the agenda, own the noise, put the Dems in the position of being the “party of no”.

I can only pray that the first subpoena goes to a judge from the 9th circus, and that the judge is impeached...
