Darrell Issa’s Anti-Obama ACA Website Witch-Hunt Will Be Another Republican Humiliation
Darrell Issas Anti-Obama ACA Website Witch-Hunt Will Be Another Republican Humiliation
I hate to say I told you so, but I did offer the opinion on this hallowed site that the Tea Party wasnt going to take the recent successful (for Democrats) abandonment of the partial government shutdown and the extension of the raising the debt ceiling issue without the inclusion of decimating the Affordable Care Act, with grace and acceptance. Of course virtually every other breathing progressive predicted the same reaction.
The Teapublican Party (any pretense of the Tea Party and Republican Party being separate entities has long since been proven false) has come storming back with a hateful vengeance. And where better to start the next round of destroying that black presidents legacy than the interior of the ever-reliable hearing room of Chairman Darrell Issas sit-com House Committee on Oversight and (tee hee) Government reform. Beneath the largely meaningless investigative gabble of Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS and car thefts, concealed weapons and arson for insurance money; oh, excuse me, those last three are Issas own ethical and potentially criminal problems (more on Issas alleged avocations here), what has emerged? Well, nothing other than a doofis and laughable Eric Holder Contempt of Congress designation. Whatever minimal corrective measures that needed to be taken were already well underway by the time Issa lowered his partisan gavel.
And what will emerge from this latest encore of the politically illegitimate committee undertaking? Well, again, nothing. Puffery, attacks on administration officials, and a call for HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius hide. Maybe Issa attack dog Trey Gowdy can recreate his April, 2012 arrogant and mean spirited attack on Sebelius, an accomplished member of the Obama team. Teapublicans would certainly wallow in it.
As always the Koch brothers, Karl Rove and the usual suspects have handed their Teapublican sycophants the latest template to continue their ACA slash and burn tactics. Heres a striking example of what is expected of these elected politipuppets. Nation of Change pinpointed a definitive example of how Teapublican employees of billionaires are supposed to react when questioned about the roll-out of Healthcare Insurance Marketplaces. In this case it was a CNN interview with North Carolina Teapublican House member, Renee Ellmers. She was reacting to the enthusiastic endorsement of his states experience with the Marketplace by Kentucky Democratic Governor, Steve Beshear.
