    Sooooo, what's your point? Are you implying that Issa should not investigate Solyndra, or that Issa is a dirt bag because he "supports an all-of-the-above policy: creating jobs in green businesses as well as in other traditional sectors like energy production, manufacturing and small businesses"?

    Apparently Issa is. From the OP.

    "A green jobs-fueled recovery is a theory, and is yet unproven," Issa said. "There is a lot more green, in the way of cash, and a lot less energy and jobs than anticipated."


    Which makes it so very odd that he requested money for green jobs.

    The problem isn't that Issa is a hypocrite, its that he's a Republican hypocrite. Realistically we can show every one of our elected officials from Congress to the White House are hypocrites on one issue or another. The simple fact is that they deal with a myriad of issues, and party ideology does not withstand political necessity. It stems from government money being spent to placate the masses through different programs, both sides have their pet favorite categories and both sides will dabble and grab this money they normally oppose in order to put more government money into their districts/states. In this case, the problem is us, citizens that want and expect government money in some form or fashion in the areas that we live.

    Call it what you will.

    No sane person will stand by and watch their enemy spend their money on other citizens without demanding a more equal distribution.

    If the left will agree then we can do away with all the wild government investments in private companies.

    But libs would never do that because they are the most dependent on government handouts in the first place.

    Congrats Dispondent. You are the 1st ever to admit, R or D partisans, have to be hypocrites. The very definition of partisan = hypocrite.

    So now that its known, can we stop all the threads that shows Joe R or Bill D is a hypocrite.

    Its Saturday, the partisan hackery mode is recharging over the weekend, I'll be back to full speed hackery by Monday. This is no different than liberals who demand defense cuts while having military bases or defense contractors in their districts/states. You never see them offer up their districts for the cuts.

    Obama is not America.

    In fact President Zero seems to be on a mission to ruin America.

    Nice - I like it when you're recharging. And yes D's have the same hypocrisy. Why do people argue over stupid silly things like that. Or doesn't the partisan see their own hypocrisy?

    Because he claims to oppose picking winners and losers in the economy.

    He only has beliefs when liberals will go along with them?

    It was a dumb idea when Bush did it and it's still a dumb idea.

    But why let Obama use the fund only for payoffs to his political supporters when the money belongs to everyone?

    The same was said of GW, BC, and even GHW. There is a pattern emerging in our presidents.
    And yet, not one of those above actually helped out main st america.
    But they all helped out Wall ST Bankster thugs.

    So someone else being a hypocrite makes it ok for Issa to be one?

    Umm, that is american politics. And that is one of the core things that needs to be changed in american politics.
    That is the fight all americans should be fighting for. Not doing it because the other guy does it also.
    This is what D's and R's and I's should be joining together to fight the DC corruption.

    I agree.

    Obama is not the first bad president we've had.

    But since he's still in office doing damage he's the one that demands our most urgent attention.

    The Tea Party movement is doing it's best to change American politics in spite of opposition for the corrupt establishment.

    They all are, its not just Issa, its every one of them. To place this standard on Issa is ridiculous if it isn't going to be placed on liberal politicians equally.

    The ObamaCo/Solyndra fraud appears to be making lefties nervous.

    Maybe, I haven't seen it yet. I've heard the talk but haven't seen the walk. Most in the Tea party I've seen seem just as hypocritical.

    Who in your mind is a good tea partier working to rid corruption and help good ole main street folks?

    Bringing down gov't spending has to happen. SS, Medicare, and the Defense all need to be cut or restructured. Everyone knows that but no one puts all those eggs into the basket when talking about cutting spending. At least I've not heard it, but for 1 candidate.

    Obama was just the faceman. He rarely has an idea of his own. The real power are his cabinet. The crazies he put into power and appointed from Harvard and from Chicago City Hall.

    Everyone he owed a favor to and was in debt too.

    So these academics went ahead and ran roughshod over our economy making economic war against every single enemy they can think of from the war on energy to the war on Boeing and the quasi-nationalizing of the US Health Care Industry.

    Now where are they? They RAN. Ran quick back to K Street and Harvard, got their bureaucratic ticket punched, laundered a few tens of millions or more for themselves and now they and their families are set for life and now Obama is all alone now that the academics have fled what is his solution? Crony Capitalism so he looks "pro business" by drafting Immelt in a sad attempt to look like he gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) about American businesses. LOL

    See it's not a "plan" to destroy America. It's keystone kops running our white house during one of the most trying times in American History. We'll fix this (*)(*)(*)(*) soon enough.

    In the senate there is Rand Paul, Jim DeMint and Marco Rubio plus a few others.

    In the house most of the 48 new Republicans are on a mission of reform.
