Michele Bachmann: If GOP Wins House, "All We Should Do" is Issue Subpoenas
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20011464-503544.html

The often controversial Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann said yesterday that if Republicans will the House in November, "all we should do" is subpoena and investigate the Obama administration.

If Republicans take the House, Bachmann was asked at the GOP Youth Convention in Washington, "how do you feel about the chances for like a little oversight and a little accountability now that the Republicans will have the subpoena power - how aggressive do you think..."

"Oh, I think that's all we should do," Bachmann said. "I think that all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another. And expose all the nonsense that is gone on. And it's very important when we come back that we have constitutional conservative leadership because the American people's patience is about this big. So we have to make sure that we do what the people want us to do."

4. Maybe that will getr her votes in her dist. I hear it's pretty red.
But it sure won't get her any kudos from anyone else! Even angry Dems don't want the congress to spend all it's time holding hearings on the opposition! They want SH*T DONE!

Hnestly, I can't even fault the Hosue very mch. They've been pretty good at getting a lot of things passed The BIG PROBLEM is when things get to the Senate.

God help us all if we lsoe control of the Senate!

7. Can the minority party issues subpoenas & have hearings?
I seem to remember the Demorats not being able to do that a few years ago.

10. If Bachmann isn't driven from Congress, the MN 6th should be nuked
Admittedly, that's a little too close to my home, but for the greater good...

Seriously, voting against her is a requirement for admission into the human race.

11. This is what we get for not prosecuting the REAL crimes of Bush/Cheney
Illegal war, torture, war profiteering oh the list is HUGE. I mean I am SHOCKED that people are just letting Bush/Cheney get away with it! We lost a real chance at justice here and may well have sealed our own doom because now, now they know they can get away with ANYTHING.

12. "now they know they can get away with ANYTHING"
Agreed.

Clearly the right can do whatever it wants.

Too bad there's no left to counter them.

(Even around here, there's not much left)

13. I'm glad somebody recognizes
that even around HERE there isn't much of a left! There are some but I am shocked at how many tow-the-line posts are showing up these days. Don't people understand - if we just blindly accept the status quo we are no better than the republicans.

14. This site and the last ten years of politics have shown that there are two kinds of people
Those who adhere to principles and those who are loyal to personalities.

We used to comment about how Bush could do anything and his base wouldn't flinch.

I thought that was a repuke trait, but sadly...

15. No one would expect them to do anything remotely productive.



Thanks for telegraphing your intentions of perpetuating the same old tired partisan bullshit asshole.
It wouldn't be at all like them to do anything that would stand a chance of doing something positive for the country.

18. "Impeachment is off the table".. -Nancy Pelosi..
One side goes for the jugular, the other side rolls over on their back and begs to lick the bottom of their master's jackboots.

I damn sure don't like Republicans but at least their leaders have chutzpah, would that the the Democratic politicians would pick up a few pointers in that regard.
