Darrell Issa to business..I'll do your bidding... |

Darrell Issa asks business: Tell me what to change
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) wants the oil industry, drug manufacturers and other trade groups and companies to tell him which Obama administration regulations to target this year.
The incoming chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee - in letters sent to more than 150 trade associations, companies and think tanks last month - requested a list of existing and proposed regulations that would harm job growth.
"It was a broad net that we cast," Issa spokesman Kurt Bardella said.
Bardella did not have a complete list of groups that received an inquiry from Issa or their responses.
But a partial list obtained by POLITICO includes ones sent Dec. 13 to Duke Energy, the Association of American Railroads, FMC Corp., Toyota and Bayer. Others receiving inquiries from Issa over the course of the month included the American Petroleum Institute, National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association (NPRA) and entities representing health care and telecommunication providers.
The goal is to investigate the Obama administration's promise through the 2009 economic stimulus bill and other measures to create jobs, which "has gone unfilled, I guess is the nicest way to put it," Bardella said.
"Is there something that we can do to try to ease that burden and stimulate job creation?" he added. "Is there a pattern emerging? Is there a consistent practice or regulation that hurts jobs? Until you have all the facts, you really can't make a lot of determinations and judgments."
At the same time, Issa is getting his cue from and a voice to a chorus of largely disgruntled industry groups and companies that have collectively groaned about regulations in the pipeline and on the books.

Is it too much to expect that at least one business would suggest that their legitimate interests are being overwhelmed by corruption, and that removing the corruption might result in the industry creating more jobs?
Can pigs fly at greater than the speed of light?

4. This is what you wanted, Tea Baggers |

You thought you didn't care for elected officials running things? Wait until corrupt businessmen get their greedy mitts back on the levers of power. If you liked servicemen electrocuted in the shower in Iraq for fun and profit, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Dumbasses.

8. Really, show me the exit to this country. |

These are the assholes this country elected? Then I must truly be outnumbered by ASSHOLES. I woke up this morning feeling "done". The maggot-shit republicans take over the State legislature here in Ohio tomorrow and the absolute lunacy begins. I can't stand it here any more. I want out. Done.

9. The End Justifies The Means... |

The GOTB is trying to replay the 90s...gonna try to throw anything and everything out there to try to create the impression this administration is "corrupt", just as they did with Bill Clinton. The corporate media then, and surely now, ran with the sensational headlines that didn't have any basis in fact and all they could find was a blue stained dress. That was good enough...by the time Monicagate ran amok, the impression was the Clinton administration was corrupt to the core and IMHO this would hurt Al Gore in 2000.
Issa's the useful tool...the new Disco Danny Burton. We'll hear how Fannie & Freddie created the housing mess and ACORN somehow rigged the '08 elections. It's fuel for the right wing propaganda machine...repeated like gospel on hate radio and then astroturfed by faux noise and picked up by the other networks. The term "Mighty Wurlitzer" truly applies here.
While the Democrats claim they're gonna stand up to this game...they're clueless. Facts here don't matter...it's all a perception game.
