Bill Maher Tells Issa He's Safe From Bill's Oust A Congressperson Campaign

As I figured, Bill let Daryl Issa know directly tonight that he (Issa) will not be a target in Bill's little "Oust A Congressman" sweepstakes.

One would think that Issa was the presumptive front runner in such a campaign.

I'm running as a Democrat against Issa in 2014, and would love the support of anyone reading this thread. The race is winnable.

"shut the door on everyone else".. he's made a spectacle of himself investigating Benghazi and anything else he can get his hands on to waste Taxpayers Money!

I Liked you on fb.. Maher should change his mind and tell Issa why. He shouldn't be able to get away the crap he pulls all the name of teabagger bullshit.

WOW!!!! VERY glad you're here! And very glad you're THERE, too! DAYUM but we need darrell issa OUT of there!!!

I'm awfully tired of being constantly besieged for campaign donations. But YOUR campaign I'll support! I'm gonna do so immediately after I post this! I don't live in issa's district but I'm not far away. I'm a Henry Waxman woman, soon hopefully to be a Sandra Fluke woman! Her campaign I'm gonna be supporting as well!

Thank you for weighing in here, and thank you for taking on that rat-fucker/arsonist/insurance fraudster! We need him run outta there - preferably on a rail. Shit, just the taxpayers' money he's WASTED on these endless useless prance-fests and stupid time-consuming come-up-with-nothing "investigations" for the mere sake of attacking Democrats would be enough to fund several campaigns effectively!

Isaa is an evil sociopath. I am a Postal retiree And word is that he is the One that put the onerous 6.5 billón payment for the post office. It would be a big Win for him to kill the post office, but it would hurt so Many people- not to mention raise the price to Mail anything.
Good Luck, though. I Will Mail some money when i can.

Best of luck to you.

In addition to Maher, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report would be happy to know that you are determined to win. Maybe you can even get the "Colbert bump."

He didn't seem to take anything seriously, which I suppose shouldn't be surprising, since this is all just a game for him and he appears to be a sociopath.

I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure Dave replaces darrell. AND, if she decides to run, that Sandra Fluke wins the opening that Henry Waxman's retirement is creating.

I'd rather media figures not try to drastically influence election results, even if its to get rid of a real tea partier.
