Franken warns that GOP Congress would bring ‘truly dangerous agenda’
By Bridget Johnson - 07/25/10 09:48 AM ET 
  

Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), addressing a convention of liberal bloggers 
and activists Saturday evening, implored the left to fight to stay in 
power in the midterm elections.

“If Republicans take back Congress they’ll implement a truly dangerous 
agenda,” Franken told the Netroots Nation gathering in Las Vegas. 
“Everything is on the table, from repealing healthcare reform to 
privatizing Social Security.”


Franken singled out two Republican Senate nominees: Rand Paul in 
Kentucky, for his questioning of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and Sharron 
Angle in Nevada, “who can’t stop bringing up the prospect of armed 
revolt.”

Franken warned that Joe Barton, who apologized to BP CEO Tony Hayward in 
an oil spill hearing, would become chairman of the House Energy 
committee should Republicans take back control of the House, and said 
“Darrell Issa is promising to double his staff and embark on a witch-
hunt in the hopes of bringing down the Obama administration.” Being in 
the majority, Democrats currently have twice as many staff as 
Republicans on the Oversight Committee.

Issa (R-Calif.), the ranking member on the House Oversight and 
Government Reform panel, responded to Franken’s charges in a late-night 
e-mail statement.

“Obviously, Senator Franken is reading from the same misguided playbook 
that Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi and shares her belief that a Democratic 
Congress should give this administration immunity from legitimate 
questions and appropriate accountability,” Issa wrote. “Their statements 
are indicative of the desperate state their Majority is in and if the 
best case they can make is to caution the American people against the 
dangers of conducting legitimate and vigorous oversight, they is welcome 
to make that case. 

“The fact of the matter is oversight should be done vigorously and 
effectively — even if it raises uncomfortable questions for the Obama 
White House and Democratic congressional leaders.”

Franken said he understood frustration among the left that not all 
agenda items were being pushed with the vigor they’d like, but told the 
activists “no matter how frustrated you are, you can’t check out now.”

“We have seen what happens when Republicans take control of Congress 
with a Democratic president and it ain’t pretty,” the senator said.

Franken said the country was “teetering on the brink of a double-dip 
recession” and criticized Republicans for eschewing the idea of another 
stimulus package. “They hide behind big talk about deficits as if 
deficits suddenly appeared at noon on Jan. 20, 2009,” he said.
