IF YOU ARE serious about finding a reason to support the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, you might want to consider as good a reason as any from Rep. Darrell Issa, a fringe Republican from California. Rising to the challenge in the Fox News Echo Class, Issa said that it would be important to any of us if we happened to win a lottery. Said Issa: "One of the things that you lose in the debate is most people don't make over a quarter million dollars a year. But a great many people once in their lifetime will sort of win the lottery." Cool. Tell me when it's my turn.Issa, who made a fortune in the auto security business, is the richest man in Congress with a piggy bank of $250 million. According the ThinkProgress, if the GOP takes over the House of Representatives, he would be chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. His early agenda would include investigations of the U.S. Post Office Department and ACORN, despite the fact that the community organizing operation has already been scrutinized inside out on a bipartisan basis. He will also be raising more questions about President's Obama's birth, reports ThinkProgress, as well as whether his parents were ever married. All of this has the the makings of still another Republican presidential candidate. Although he represents a very conservative district that includes part of San Diego, he actually was born in Cleveland (I haven't seen his birth certificate) and attended the Kent State University Stark campus for awhile. He's s rich, kooky pol but the kind of guy who will make his party proud even though very few of us will ever hold that big winning lottery ticket.

"He will also be raising more questions about President's Obama's birth, reports ThinkProgress, as well as whether his parents were ever married."
What evidence is there that Darrell Issa wants to investigate Obama's birth and the marriage of his parents? What exactly is Think Progress anyway?
I've got better things to do than to explain such well-known national blog sources as ThinkProgress. If you are that interested, kid, do what the rest of us have to do: Look it up. Meantime, I would ask: Won any lotteries lately? Or did you decide to ignore that part of my post?
CCFan84: Issa is leaving the dirty work on the birther issue to his fellow committee members. Issa has promised to rain subpoenas down on Obama if the Repubs get the majority.
But give Grumpy a break, he didn't even mention Issa's prosecution for car theft back in the day.
Now that you've mentioned it, Mencken, Issa also opposed any federal help ($$) for victims of 9/11 and was critical of family members who sought it. You can do a lot of crazy things when you are the richest guy in the House. By the way, his car theft problems became even zainier when he accused his brother of stealing it.
Isn't it stunning that this array of crackpots, conmen and criminals can even contend for political power. In another age they would have been ignored, ridiculed or prosecuted. What is truly disturbing is that people like FanofaLiar84 think they are legitimate. What's next?
Where in the name of God does the GOP come up with these guys?
Just looked this weasel up in Wikipedia. He's had THREE incidents where he's been indicted for grand theft auto. Not once, but THREE times. Where there's smoke...
I searched the Internet and found no evidence that Darell Issa wants to investigate President Obama's birth or his parent's marriage.
It sounds like this Think Progress outfit is engaging in blatant misinformation and fear mongering.

I'm not a Kool-aid drinker like you, I require proof. Your kind has this incredible capacity to embrace unsubstantiated claims as fact. Your claims of research are as bogus as you are. Please share with us your sources or just shut the F---- Up.
