   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.
