Issa is all over it. Back in '08 he defended the Bush White House for doing exactly the same thing, so we'll see if he applies the same logic here.

I guess Issa gets his ideas from the interwebs.

Very Tea Party of you.

That more than 700 lobbyists and lobbying firms have contributed to the Romney campaign and none (zero) have contributed to the Obama campaign might be alarming, if you didn't know that neither Obama nor the DNC will accept contributions from lobbyists.
The money that was once more or less evenly divided has to go somewhere so for now it's all going to Romney.

Fine; accuse others of having nothing. Since you are up in arms, answer this:
What will Romney do as president to help the middle class?
Honestly, I see nothing in his platform that will help anyone but the very wealthy (and I do not get that many people who are NOT rich are supporting his ideas which historically have worked aginst their interests).
I know what Obama will do, and that is why I, as a middle class business owner, will be voting for him in November.
What say you?

As is typical - you've contributed nothing.
Busted for you BS argument, unsurprisingly, you revert to the kindergartener's favorite retort,
"I'm rubber and you're glue"
Better go play with your guns, your adequacy won't feel so threatened.

My "BS argument"?
You mean the Congressional rules that require members and staff of Congress to report all activity with lobbyists and to not accept "gifts" in any form?
Just like the typical Tea Party-er, when faced with the reality of fact, try to obfuscate.

Willful blindness? Not a far stretch in the context of your postings.
people like you would be jumping up and down and demanding to know the details
That completely BS argument. The one I specifically quoted, and which you pretend not to see. The one in which you project your fantasies about other posters' behavior, as seems to be your only style. The one in which you lump everyone who might not agree with you in one simple and convenient group, which you then chastise with a bogus argument you have concocted. The one you so obviously avoid in your reply.

The only style that I see in you is Tea Party-ism. And that kind of stupidity doesn't deserve more than I've given you.

Spurious attacks on me only highlight your own intellectual shortcomings. Your inability to form a cogent argument or to stay on point without resorting to mischaracterization and distortion of others' positions speaks for itself.
