KATU - Portland, OR : Issa: No evidence of White House cover-up in botched gun-tracking | National & World News | KATU.com

"The Republican-led committee voted along party lines on Wednesday" Just about says it all doesn't it? Issa is the same guy that had an all male panel testify about women's reproductive rights. Amazing.

"why you are known here as a hyperpartisan commenter." Who else has the honor of this title? Am I being surveilled on orders from 'above'? Funny how the right wing is howling about the constitution being trampled on by the Obama Administration but yet your ham -handed attempt of intimidation of my stating an opinion (Freedom of Speech) seems just fine.

I abhor the partisan hit job by the liar and car thief, Issa.The subpoenas that Issa issued were so broad as to request documents which were either privileged and/or classified and which would have been illegal for Holder to produce. Issa went back on Friday and amended said subpoenas to be a bit more specific, but were still too broad. Holder has produced every document which has been deemed responsive to the subpoena and has objected to producing documents which are either a) irrelevant and immaterial to the subject matter of the investigation or b) privileged/classified. If Issa really wanted to have answers to questions, don't you think that he would have demanded testimony from the Bush administration officials who actually initiated the program?

She is the First Lady, and a nice one at that. For as much as I think dubya should be tried as a war criminal for 4500 dead US soldiers, 100,000+ dead Iraqis and adding a trillion dollars to our debt for that optional war, Laura Bush was, and is, an intelligent, attractive former First Lady that I would never make a disparaging comment about. The partisan sniping should end for the non elected family members. Jeez.

ATGATT--All The Gear, All The Time. I cringe when I see those riders wearing clothes and shoes that would barely hold up to slipping on a sidewalk, much less holding up to sliding on asphalt at 30-70MPH.

Wow. I ride too and the rule, just like piloting an aircraft is: Eight hours from bottle to throttle. Sorry for his family and friends. I am astounded by the sheer stupidity.

If anyone has verifiable economic evidence of trickle down economics working to benefit the entire middle class of an entire nation then post it. Don't post opinions, blogs, right wing BS or your opinion. Facts only. I want to know which country uses this as the model for their success.

Thirty years of "Trickle down economics" has contributed mightily to our predicament today. The rich don't care about the middle class and republicans really don't care.

Single payer for all, so no one is financially ruined by a broken leg, then, just like in England and the European Union, you can purchase supplemental health insurance. The Canadians that come to the US for procedures are wealthy, low income Canadians are still covered and won't lose their home over a broken leg. Remember, Ronald Reagan enacted socialized medicine here but it does nothing for preventive care.

Max--You are making factual, rational comments. A single payer system should be the ultimate goal, just like every other industrialized country on the face of the planet has. Good point on the VA but for every person that shows up bleeding and/or unconscious at an emergency room we now have socialized healthcare courtesy of Ronald Reagan in 1986. Every taxpayer and every holder of a health insurance policy is footing the bill for those patients.
