First it was Senator Ted Cruz. Now it is Rep. Darrell Issa and all the ones in between.

If you live in a glasshouse
Don't throw stones
And if you can't take blows brother
Don't throw blows.
You build your world on lies and illusions
But you never know that This is the conclusion
No chance no hope for those Who kept it a goin'
'Cause you never know that The truth was showing

I will venture to think it that per capita, the outrageously bizarre and senseless eccentrics are in the minority of
Republican administration, so my question is “Why are the sensible, honest, reasonable and levelheaded human beings not speaking out on behalf of sanity to preserve the integrity of the party?” I am led then to equate the madness being exhibited to a disease where infected persons are in two categories – you either have the fully blown infection
or you are a carrier. Cruz, Issa and the others listed below fall in the “fully blown” category and all other Republicans are carriers of the disease. It is only a matter of time for these “carriers” to become delirious and display symptoms of the full blown disease. Is this what we should conclude that most, if not all Republicans will in a matter of time and given
the opportunity succumb to the ravages, the devastation of Stupid Idiocy Dishonest Syndrome (SIDS).
ROLL CALL OF THE REPUBLICAN CRAZIES
1. Darryl Issa – the flavor of the month in Republican lies and deception
2. Ted Cruz – Threw out blatantly unfounded accusations in the Benghazi investigations which has earned him the
brand as modern day Eugene McCarthy
3. Michelle Bachmann – The unintelligent Republican who sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence
4. Christine O’Donnell – “I am not a witch” lady who said she “dabbled in witchcraft’ and who said that one of her
first dates with a witch was on a satanic alter
5. Glenn Beck- King of all conspiracy theorists. Fuels the right wing lunatics with Obama:
“He hates white people and a devout Marxist-Socialist hell bent on destroying America.”
6. Rush Limbaugh – Too numerous to mention – and too stupid
7. Ann Coulter – Not worth the key strokes to document
8. Sarah Palin- (a.k.a. M.I.L.F. meaning Moron I’d Love To Forget)
9. Rev. Pat Robertson – who floats in a different stratosphere and he gives Christians a bad name
10. Rand Paul – One of the most whacky of the whackies.
11. Chuck Winder (R-ID): “I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician
will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal
relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that’s part of the
counseling that goes on.” - March 2012
12. Roger Rivard (R-WI): “Some girls rape easy.”-October 2012
13. Richard Mourdock (R-IN): “I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape that is something that
God intended to happen.” – October 2012
14. Todd Akin (R-MO): “If it’s legitimate rape, the female body has ways of shutting that whole thing down.”
- Midway his failed 2012 Senate Campaign
15. Mitt Romney (R-MA): “As president, I will create 12 million new jobs.”
– October 16, 2012 in the second presidential debate
16. Mitt Romney (R-MA): “Government does not create jobs. Government does not create jobs.
– 45 minutes later in the second presidential debate (October 16, 2012)
17. Rick Santorum (R-PA): “I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created – in the sense of rape – but
nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has
given you…rape victims should make the best of a bad situation.- January 2012
And the above list shows only a few of the Republican crazies.

Darrell Issa and “moral authority”
Darryl Issa, the Republican Crazies and the term moral authority should, under no imaginable condition stand comfortably side by side in the same sentence so I am inflicting grave injustice on the term by doing so in this
article. And this is only because there is no better or effective method yet invented to highlight contrasts without the visuals afforded by side by side comparisons.
Rep. Issa’s deceitful, deceptive, self-serving behavior caused some digging or rehashing of his checkered past- “the higher the monkey climbs the more he exposes his ass”. His actions are not based on genuine concern but is nothing but an obvious (and transparent I must add) attempt to tie these trumped up issue to the President. Not surprising since all these so-called “scandals” are just that, attempts to undermine President Obama’s good name, his
sterling achievements and the legacy he is building. We are also fully aware that Issa and others of his party continuously hurl charges against the Attorney General Eric Holder. This kind of behavior continues to produce
only one victim – the country.

REPUBLICANS - TRY A LITTLE HONESTY, YOU MIGHT LIKE IT!!!!
The hind part of Darryl Issa’s anatomy exposed:
I for one, and I am sure many Americans either could only vaguely recall that there was a little unsavory ‘something’ in Issa’s past; majority didn’t know or suspect anything at all. Here is where Peter Tosh’s advice is critical to the Congressman:
“If you live in a glasshouse Don't throw stones
And if you can't take blows brother
Don't throw blows.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aujvc3SVKpc
1. Issa cannot be happy about the scrutiny on his personal track record as a result of his stone
throwing – but what did he expect? His charges against the Obama Administration are weak and connived but
public record is there as proof of his criminal past. “Issa has become a vocal advocate for investigations into the
Obama administration, including the Troubled Assets Relief Program, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission,
corruption in Afghanistan, WikiLeaks, and the Food and Drug Administration, among other issues. In 2010 he told
the press that he wanted the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to hold investigative hearings
"seven hearings a week, times 40 weeks." "Darrell Issa plans hundreds of hearings".
Politico. November 8, 2010.
His relentless witch-hunt continues and he is only one of the leaders of his embittered and angry party that does not see winning national election any other way than escalating nasty and vicious lies. "Naturally, this is the man the Republicans vested with total power to investigate the Obama administration for any reason at any time.
You don’t appoint someone with actual ethics to do your dirty work, because, well, that wouldn’t work. “Now that he had been given the power to subpoena, investigate, and harass the Obama Administration, Issa was being
described as a future leader of his party—and the man most likely to weaken the President before the 2012 election…” “Darrell Issa’s Lies Create an Uncomfortable Scrutiny of His Criminal Background”

2. His amassed wealth of over $700m is partly a result of his car alarm company and in the mix somewhere he was
indicted for stealing a car (a red Maserati) and was arrested in a separate incident for carrying a concealed
weapon (a .25 Colt) and 44 rounds of ammo and a tear gas gun and two rounds of ammo for the tear gas gun. Not
only is this rank of unfairness that a man of such unsavory past can be in Congress and is Chairman of the
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform while youths caught with one marijuana cigarette are thrown in
Jail some imprisoned but all of whom their rights and their lives are taken from them – they cannot vote, they
cannot get grants to go to school, no loan, not meaningful jobs. Inequities of the greatest magnitude!! This is the
quality of leadership the Republican Party is putting forward – a party depraved of morals, honesty and integrity. A
party which stands for vigilante justice through the NRA. A party where persons of quality, who are honest are
extinct.
3. And there is that little thing about the “accidental fire”; allegations of arson in a factory this paragon of virtue and
bastion of honesty (Mr. Issa) owned. An accident which occurred uncomfortably close after he raised
his insurance from $100,000 to $400,000
4. The man’s words are worth absolutely nothing. He claimed for example that he was always given “highest marks”
by the Army and boasts that he provided security for President Nixon a claim which was easily exposed for the lie it
is, since records show that the President was not in attendance at events that Issa claimed he provided
this security. It was Lance Williams of the San Francisco Examiner in May of 1998 who exposed the fact that Issa
did not always receive the “highest possible” ratings in the Army as he claimed and records showed that Issa
“received unsatisfactory conduct and efficiency ratings and was transferred to a supply depot.”
Darrell Issa called Eric Holder a “bad witness” and held the Attorney General in criminal contempt which was the first contempt charge ever of a sitting attorney general. All I can say of Darrell Issa “the unmitigated gall!” that he, with his rancid past can think that with the passage of time and the fading of memory he is now washed clean of his
rotten, putrid actions and has acquired the authority to flex his muscles as he is doing. Not so Mr. Man…not so!

REPUBLICANS - BE HONEST....Oooops! Sorry.....That is one thing you cannot be!
Darrell Issa - The paragon of Purity and the IRS “scandal”
I must pause to call out the press for their support for all these unfounded accusations. Every last one of the news media – print and electronic is guilty of labeling these malodorous lies as ‘scandals’ and each one of these have been
disproven but the putrid taste of the scandal label lingers in the memories of the listener/viewer/reader. After there is clarification that these so-called scandals are nothing but lies and a waste of the country’s time and money the word scandal is the one that is retained in people’s memories. Media action is nothing shy of prostitution, each trying to
out-prostitute the others for ratings and the media is omnipresent, pervasive – you can barely ever switch to a channel or turn the pages of print media and find any varying view point. Boooooooring!
Let’s turn to Mr. Purity Issa and the IRS “scandal”. He published excerpts of the transcript of interview carefully
selecting portions to give the desired interpretation and impact to support his and his party’s devious agenda. All of us know and fewer of us will admit that if the total pieces of a puzzle are not in place and visible, the picture is
distorted, unclear and will depict something totally different from the truth.
When Rep. Elija Cummings(D-Georgia), the Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of which Issa is Chairman offered to release the entire transcript so that clarity and honesty can
prevail, Mr. Issa objected saying “…..your (Cummings) push to release entire transcripts from witness interviews while the investigation remains active was reckless and threatened to undermine the integrity of the Committee’s investigation."
However, it is the same Chairman Issa who only a week prior to this utterance of concern on CNN’s “State of the Union” who told the host that the full transcripts would be released while at the same time on the same program he presented several pieces of the transcripts organized and designed to suggest that directive to screen tea party groups came from officials in Washington.
Rep. Cummings being averse to allowing Issa to perpetuate his lies by releasing only parts of the transcript and hence having these as the only evidence in the public record, has released segments of interviews. In a memo to his colleagues on the oversight committee, on Sunday Rep. Cummings echoed the manager in the IRS Cincinnati office who oversaw the nonprofit screening. This manager confirmed that no one in Washington ordered him to employ the practice of targeting tea party groups.

This manager confirmed that no one in Washington ordered him to employ the practice of targeting tea party groups.
Rep. Cummings said "Although the Committee interviewed a self-identified ‘conservative Republican’ who denied any White House involvement or any political motivation for screening Tea Party cases, Chairman Issa now appears to be going back on his promise to release the full interview transcripts of IRS employees," said Cummings, in a statement. "Chairman Issa changes his mind so fast that even when I agree with him, we’re not on the same page. I fully support responsible oversight, but cherry picking transcript excerpts to fuel partisan and unsubstantiated claims is not a credible or effective way to investigate." Cummings has also promised that he will release the full transcripts if Issa does not.
I ask, “What is new?” Remember the 2012 Republican Presidential Primaries, all candidates would change their stance and the facts at a speed that made the heads of the American people spin. The “Head-spinner in chief” was Mitt Romney who was picked as the best of the bunch to represent this ignoble party! May God really and truly bless America… I don’t want to concede and say these people have caused American to be ‘gone to the dogs’ but if this type of behavior is not stopped and if it continues America is certainly heading to the
dogs!
