More than 50, and there are a lot of familiar names in there. Swing districts, notorious wingnuts, Senators in tough races. How many of those people agree with Darrell Issa that the welfare of the heroes of 9/11 are no business of the United States government? How many of them really want to be forced to answer such questions? Rep. Issa has, for a number of years, been a bit of a hero in GOP fundraising circles. Do people really want to be associated with his money now? Presumably the answer is "yes" in private and "maybe" in public. If it's even slightly possible to isolate Issa and his money, in this of all election cycles when the NRCC is desperately poor, it's worth the effort. Isn't it time we start finding out how these politicians feel about taking money from just a soulless jerk?
