Hit the Road Jack: Oversight Democrats Run Away From Countrywide Bribe Program Vote

[timray99]

Ethics Committee is an oxymoron

[spasticos]

What a bunch of scam artists and criminals. The worried look on their crooked corrupt faces tells it all.

[gesiriech]

What a bunch of crooks. People are losing their homes in record numbers and these people sit fat with their "sweetheart loan deals". Disgusting! Too cowardly to even vote.

[joeypete]

The Dems did not walk out... They rushed out! Big difference...

Tick, Tick, Tick to 2010...

[ExecutiveFlight]

Disgusting COWARDS!!!!! They don't have the balls they were born with. These are the idiots the sheeple voted in.... says alot for them too!

[TonyBeazley]

2012 and they will be gone!!!! ready to give them a pink slip now..... frigging crooks!

[ezwip1]

Do your jobs.

[Nickk361]

Congress is bailing out again.............DemoRats. See ya at the polls. I'll be entering through the front door

[ezwip1]

Do your damn jobs or we will "fix" your paycheck like you are doing to those that took our bailout money. We pay your checks too don't ya know?

[ninanwk69]

Sign here______________________ to remove these incompetent boobs from office. VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

(thumbs up will suffice)

[nobitanobi]

You tube took out my comment so here I go again. We know that democrats are corrupted, and so are the republicans. We should not be thinking "hey look at the republicans, their better" or "look at the democrats, they are better". They are both corrupted.

Doesn't matter which is more corrupted, but the fact that they ARE.

. We need SOMEONE that is NOT from EITHER parties to lead this nation. Next time you vote, remember, there are more choices then Dem. or Rep.

[miazagora]

I wonder if CNN showed this video? If they did I'll bet they got another email!

The MSM is made up of a bunch of corrupt cowards who would sell the viewers down the road no matter what the cost!!

[Jesusfreak28532]

that housing bubble happened because Democrats decided that everyone had the right to own a house REGARDLESS of the cost. People bought houses using loans that they couldn't afford...that wat caused the housing bubble

[solaryellow123]

I agree, I have a few republicans I don't care for as well.

But this video really says something.

All the dems walked out, not 1 or 2.

abuse of power here, which clearly shows no unity.

[ednraleigh]

Keep up the pressure. Don't let them off the hook for this.

[FreedomsReigning]

Every single one of those people who walked out need to be removed for dereliction of duty, and the ones who authorized "locking the doors" need to be hung for treason.

[mauro1970mvr]

How do you like your freaking change now, you stupid cult followers?

[koolmom21]

They don't care anymore who knows that they are shutting us all out.

[dedhero]

Typical Democratic tactics. Just a sad sad sad commentary on the maturity level of Democrats. If ya can't beat the Republicans just lock them out. Way to go you bunch of hypocrits.

[rrrreticon]

covering their own asses has become a priority to both sides of the aisle, but this has to stop! Why do we elect these idiots? Every name plaque there represents a state and an electorate. Stop electing them my fellow Americans, please!

[AZJenjen]

Absolutely disgusting.

[jokeyhp45]

Penalize elected members of congress by changing locks.

Time to call in federal marshals and unlock the doors with a battering ram if necessary.

[Indygoguy]

And now they've locked the republicans out. This is a takeover of the government by the communists who were caught distributing our money to themselves. Time to call it what it is, an ILLEGAL seizure of power, and move the army in, arrest the gangsters and then purge every position of influence and power in this country of these people. That means media, education, judges, lawyers, school boards, media, media, and media, Arrest them all as conspirators against the constitution and America.

[VX328197]

Absolutely, I have never seen anything like this and it is getting worse!

[johnssarris]

your views on the GOP sounds just like something a liberal would say, but i do like your overall hate for government...maybe that's a front we all should start to unite on

[VX328197]

Democrats are incompetent, stupid, and arrogant. They should be ashamed! Where is the accountability???

[Indygoguy]

Actually they are worse than that, they are criminal and they are traitors.

[BrandiRem]

A democrat is mesmerized by the TV commercials.  A republican takes the two minute break to use the head. Who is the smarter of the two?

[MrBarTshirt]

Somewhere in Kenya a village is missing their idiot.

[TresHombresRock]

Keep the light shining on these two faced Representatives! Gee, what could they be afraid of? A bunch of 2 year olds....

[Jesusfreak28532]

Taxpayers money at work? If anything this took a small videocamera(probably a personal one) and a few minutes of editing. If thats your idea of what wasted taxpayers money is, why don't you ask your party about the TARP money that STILL hasn't gotten where it was supposed to go AND there's absolutely no transparency with it, which is what YOUR nominee for president promised.

[Jesusfreak28532]

wow, willing to believe anything your party tells you. It would be one thing if that was true, but if it were why would the congresswoman feel the need to "retaliate" by changing the locks on the door? All of this is just stupid and childish.

[starVol]

I'd love those seats occupied by people who will NOT sell us down the river!

[dsrblue31]

These slimy traitors are showing all of American exactly who and what they are. If this nation isn't destroyed by the 2010 elections (we may not have elections by then) these guys will never see the light of day in American politics again. They forget that HISTORY WILL FOREVER RECORD THEIR DIRTY DEEDS. They must be certain that they will succeed in destroying the country and then will be able to fabricate and dictate whatever sociopathic version of events they desire.

[Gina2NYC]

Where is our representation?

[tackN2Wind]

DISGUSTING DEMOCRAT DIRTY TACTICS!

These are NOT public servants; they serve only themselves!

November 2010! Bring those Liberal Fascists to where we are: UNEMPLOYED!

[Denar65]

Fabulous and incredible at the same time.

[wwright1775]

Not to mention.......................­...

Kurt Bardella, spokesman for ranking Republican Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said Chairman Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., had the locks on the Republican entrance changed Tuesday.

WTF?!?! You call this acceptable behavior?

[wwright1775]

This was NOT during recess, This was not FABRICATED, this is the COLD TRUTH! This is what America voted for.You wanted change? Well you got it! The cockroaches no longer need to wait for the light to go off to come out and play. They are here, in the daylight to roam around free! These are the crooks that were chosen to run OUR country! Pat yourself on the back for EVERYTHING going on right now! Your still pointing your nasty little fingers to the right, when you damn well know better!

[shadiemon]

It's just too bad that the SERVANTS OF THE PEOPLE can't be bothered to do what their BOSS' desire... Can't wait to see them whine about what made them lose their seats after 2010 landslides.. I'm not repub, but despise what these scum (read Dems) have made our country...

[cmevans5]

Then they change the locks to keep the Republicans out. Honestly, it's like they're five years old.

[Evilmfker]

Future unemployed? 2010 and 2012 o yes!!! GOOD BYE SCUM OF THE EARTH!!!

[pollybmc]

The Dems did this in Texas a few years back...left the state as I recall...nothing happened to them. What a joke...if the people won't vote them out and the Repubs won't do anything, then what?

My guess is they'll somehow blame Bush and Fox and Rush, and Beck and. Drudge...whatever.

Appears the Dems what the country to fail. Can't explain it any other way. Disgraceful.

[DisdainfulGlance]

WOW! What a bunch of P.O.S. representatives.

Can't, for the life of me, understand why ANYONE votes democrats. Republicans are pretty crappy too (at least the last 8 years were crappy), but not to the level of democrats. They're just a bunch of rats.

[jcruenv]

awesome.

[beethovenqueen]

Great job. Pls post roll title with names & districts!!

[cegrover]

This is just one of many examples of an EPIC FAIL by our political party system. This time, we happen to feature Democrats as the bigger idiots, but they've all got to go.

It's OUR Congress, not theirs. It's OUR money, not theirs and it's OUR Country, not theirs. We need humble servants in there sacrificing to serve, not career politicians in there furthering their own careers and hoping to live off the taxpayers' teat.

[originalprofundo]

Sorry, Republicans did not do these kind of shenanigans in their heyday. The very definition of 'conservatism' is 'responsibility'. Do you know how many times the Dems stalled Bush's appointments, etc.? They need to be voted into obscurity.

[freeconservative]

Can we get a list of names and districts? I think their constituents need a wake-up call.

[thebaron512]

This would make a great general Commercial for nationwide, but the GOP need to get back to their roots and quit trying to become the Democrats!

[egginanest]

AMEN....baron 512.

[AssHatSockPuppet]

The Most Corrupt Congress Ever, led by the most INEPT administration ever!

[DwightSimpson]

Time to VOTE OUT ALL of the incumbents and start fresh. GET SMART AMERICA, CLEAN HOUSE. Get off the Democrat and Republican bandwagons and GO INDEPENDENT! The Republicans and Democrats may not be able to reach agreement, but we the people can! New blood across the board!

[greengenes1977]

Shameful, and unfortunately all too typical. I hope all you GOP water carriers were just as outraged when your party was in the majority and pulled the same type of shenanigans, and that you'll be even more riled up the next time they regain majorities in Congress and pull the exact same shit.

Because you know they will.

But hey: "Go Team!11!" amirite?

[nuclearnemesis]

I am so glad that I am not the only one laughing.

The Democrats' response? They changed the locks.

The Jesters do not disappoint.

[miazagora]

The guy in the brown suit should have seen how many he could trip. They were walking so fast out of there they would have needed a Jaws of Life to get them apart. Opportunities missed are so sad!

[gonadcancervictim]

i want sweetheart loans

[NCMan28025]

Read about why the Dems were absent. The Repubs wanted to subpoena Countrywide Records because of sweetheart deals Chris Dodd (D) and Kent Conrad (D) received. Now they are locking Repubs out of the committee. Sorta sounds like they have something to hide. Almost like the Senate Finance Committee meeting behind closed doors with Rahm Emanuel to hash out the biggest spending bill in U.S. history under the name of health care reform.

[xyberfunk]

their days are numbered...

ant they know it..

they break the law, rules, and are a disgrace to the republic

vote no confidence on all the senate and house democrat tyrants

time is running out for their pathetic careers

[classicphile]

"their days are numbered"

I wish. They dont seem to think their days are numbered. which is why they engage in this behavior. They KNOW they are getting away with it.

[DecimusIunius]

I fear you're right.

[Asupergirl09]

Glad we have a nice stable government to handle our issues. Not.

[joelelah1]

The democrat way of dealing with issues...and this won't get media coverage.

[jerri209]

So much for the "Open Government, Honest Leadership" campaign they ran.

[somercet1]

Cowards, all of them.

[jabberwocky1969]

What nothing , just the members of the committee leaving the building.

[blownone1]

Accountability. If we have to have it, shouldn't the people we pay?

[TuxLady]

Hillary was looking in a mirror when she coined the phrase, "Culture of Corruption". The Democrat Party is a master of the art form.

Now here is how you know a person of character: he objects to bad behavior regardless of who is committing the bad behavior. That is why conservatives did not try to cover up or excuse Sanford's adultery, for example. Now the way to tell a partisan or ideologue is that bad behavior is dependent on who is being bad. That is why these Dems ducked out. Got it?

[kalendello]

These people need replaced, right down the line! Their cushy elected jobs have eroded any memory of an honest day's work... no private company would ever allow this behavior to exist, government jobs are no different. SELECTIVE oversight is not what this country needs, and I'm sure many of these folks were on the front-lines accusing the economy on the lack of govt. regulation... maybe if they were doing their jobs...

[Isbadd]

We need to stop this two party bullshit. Each representative needs to stand on his or her own to represent their constituents, NOT their freakin party!

[SissyLou1]

Unbelievable!!! This needs to go viral.

[ranger4520]

You've got to be shitting me, man! Look at the Dimocrat rats deserting the sinking ship of their own credibility. Don;t worry though: we won't let this issue go away.

[thetruthserum]

Okay. Now I want to know who the African American gentleman was. He repositioned himself. Was that to obstruct camera view? Why?

[MonaFlay]

He was their lookout to give them the okay to sneak away. He didn't know about the camera, that was just coincidence.

[Oglenthorne]

This would make a great commercial come 2010.

[dryMAILman]

Which Democrat was running the fastest? To me it looked to be Dennis Kucinich.

[curtishixon]

Just one more example of why i think the Republicans are going to retake control of the House of Representatives next year.

[npohlman95]

Washington DC needs cleaned out...

[meh1997]

Rats run from the light....

[meluv2cut]

LOL, what a bunch of weasels!
