I think Issa's committee is supposed to crank them up soon.

1. Be the sane people on the committees would be my guess
Undercut every bit of Republican grandstanding and lying with the facts.

2. They have the precedent of shrubbie
and his unitary executive to avoid answering any subpoena. All they have to do is point to the evasions of the previous administration and tell Issa to go fuck himself.

6. What you said, plus refuse to participate, in any way.
They could also shock the public with revelations about the cost of this type of investigation.

Party of fiscal responsibility, my ass.

3. The should show the cost in hours and time wasted on sham investigations.
Make a counter and refer to it often. Call it the GOP-Issa Waste-O-Meter.

4. Yesterday Ed Schultz brought up several things to investigate Issa
Driving his bro's stolen cars (proven), h & r, drug posession, couple of other things mentioned by not ever convicted. ..


That should be interesting. Wonder if they could get that porn mag guy, Larry whatshisname to look into his background.

5. Of course they do!
Our party isn't constantly outmaneuvered by the Nazi Republican party on even little things. I'm sure they have a secret plan to turn Issa's shit into huge amounts political capital that will let them crush the Nazi Republican party come election time in 2012.

7. They could follow the President's lead and compromise!
Right out of the gate they could agree to some of the investigations. And proceed to compromise further from there. The GOP gets 75% of the investigations they want and the Dems declare victory.
