Not even a smidgeon of corruption? Then why take the 5th?
If this was such a widespread and obvious conspiracty against Tea Partiers, then Issa shouldn't have to rely on one witness, right? Though being a convicted criminal himself, he may have other vierws of what good civil servants should do.
Udall is a convicted criminal.
What was Issa convicted of?
Issa sentenced to 6 mo probation and his record expunged.
Udall sentenced to 1 year probation and his record was not expunged.
In the eyes of the law only one is a crook and that is Udall.
Actually, AC/DC, you're a hypocrite:
"After receiving a hardship discharge in 1972 after his father suffered a heart attack, Issa earned a General Educational Development (GED) certificate.[10] Twice that year, he was arrested. In the first incident he was indicted by a grand jury for an alleged theft of a Maserati, but prosecutors dropped the charge.[16] In the second incident, he was stopped for driving the wrong way on a one-way street, and a police officer noticed a firearm in his glove compartment. Issa was charged with carrying a concealed weapon. He pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of an unregistered firearm, and was sentenced to six months' probation and a small fine.[16] Issa has said he believes the record has since been expunged.[10]"
So,. if you have enough money and political clout to expunge your criminal record, you're not a criminal? Note that the criminal in question, Issa, only says he "believes" his record has been expunged.
Hypocrisy, thy name is AceyDucey!
Issa was just exercising his second ammmendment rights.
Actually V, I made a mistake. Expungement does not eliminate the underlying offense, that would be a pardon. They are both criminals. But don't pretend Mark Udall is someone who lacked resources.
Good for you, AC. You admitted a mistake. I respect that. We all make them but not everyone owns up to them.
You made two, in this instance. Misdeameanor pot possession is not dishonest, like stealing a high-priced car (felony grand theft auto). Thus really only Issa is the 'crook'.
But we agree that Ronald Reagan ran a corrupt administration.
The auto theft charge against Issa was dropped.
T
he conviction was for having a gun in his car — something which is legal in Colorado, as I understand it. Since he was nhever tried, let alone convicted, on the auto theft charge, Issa would not have had a felony record and hence would not be banned from owning a firearm.
Gee, why are women fleeing the GOP Bitter Old Men party in droves?
Remember when the US was selling arms to Iranian terrorists to fund Central American death squads illegaly? If you are A Cowardly troll perhaps not, because Ragan–the president at the time who may or may not have known what was happening right under his nose–is, well REAGAN (Conservastive Action Figure President!).
President Reagan Favors Use of Fifth Amendment in Iran Arms Scandal Investigation
The last GOP (failed) president, the one that looked into Putin's soul and saw a man he could trust–and thus did nothing as Russia moved in the the soveriegn nation of Georgia (hint to troll, its capital is not Atlanta)–loved having the administration take the fifth, to dodge qustions about outing under-cover CIA operatives, developing torture memos, and protecting Alberto and Dick.

It would actually be refreshing to have a conservative show up here that has a brain, some sense and perspective. Instead we get the turd.
It appears that rightie nutcase cartoonists can't spell very well either.
At least they're original. I've never seen amendment spelled with two ms before.
So the Senate was being spied on after all……not by the NSA, but by the CIA.
From the NY Times obit for non-fiction author Joe McGinniss, who wrote books on Richard Nixon and Sarah Palin:
Isn't it the old adage that Washington is Hollywood for ugly people?
In the TV age , even that distinction has been getting blurred. Presidents may not be as beautiful as most movie stars but when's the last time we've elected a short fat plug ugly President? How many freshman Senators over the last few decades have fit that description?
It seems moot now but I for one have never believed that someone who looks like Governor Christie could be elected President. There's a threshold you have to get over in terms of attractiveness and apparent fitness. That's just the way it is.
For Bernie fans:
http://www.upworthy.com/that-awkward-sound-a-panel-of-experts-trying-to-defend-walmart-from-questions-asked-by-one-senator-5?c=hpstream
Then count me in as a Bernie fan. Walmart gets to bilk both their employees and taxpayers and then pocket the difference. Nice scam for any respectable corporate citizen.
And the present day Walton clan came to own more wealth all by themselves than the bottom 40% put together and wield more power than all but a handful the old fashioned way. They were born or married into into it. Not their fault their stupid employees weren't smart enough to be born or married to Waltons.
What I find fascinating about A Cowardly troll is both how transparent of a tool it is and how totally inept at its job. I want to think–for fair competition's sake–that there are conservatives in Colorado that are not complete idiots, but here we get AC and neeby. Could it be they send their dumbest here to occupy and distract them, or has conservatism in the state really come to this?
All I could find in the way of criminal "convictions" for Mark Udall was this; In 1972, Udall was arrested for misdemeanor marijuana possession. He served a night in jail and paid a $300 fine. Anyone know about something more serious? Anyone think a 40+ year old pot misdemeanor is a big negative for a Colorado candidate these days?
Given that 55% of Coloradans supported Amendment 64, I'm guessing it might actually be a 'plus'…
But…but…but Obama! Mark Udall….Nancy PELOSI!
