Certain members of Congress are starting to openly buck-up against the intimidation coming from our White House administration.
When you have a ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform going public with an official charge that the White House Chief of Staff is resorting to Chicago Thug Intimidation tactics... well... the White House is obviously loosing it's composure and the conservatives aren't going to be pushed into a corner of being silenced by heavy handed coercion.
And... the following is an official press release from Issa's office itself... this is pretty amazing!

COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM
U.S. House of Representatives
News Release, Issa to Emanuel: Back Off!
August 4, 2009
WASHINGTON. D.C. – Following reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been orchestrating an effort to intimidate members of Congress and Governors who raise legitimate concerns regarding the effectiveness of the stimulus, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to Emanuel saying “While this type of scare tactic may work In Chicago, it will not work to intimidate me or other Members of the United States Congress.”
“I and others have dared to bring these facts to the attention of President Obama, the Congress and the American people,” Issa wrote. “You’ve unfortunately reacted by once again resorting to the playbook of the Chicago political machine.”....
....“At what point do you believe your practice of Chicago-style politics violates a public official’s right to speak out in favor of alternative policies,” Issa asks. “The American people have a right to know what role you played in developing the threatening letters to Governor Brewer and whether you intend to continue to engage in these tactics in the future.”
