The Obama Years- A GOP love story

Playing the IRS card: Six presidents who used the IRS to bash political foes - President George W. Bush (R) - CSMonitor.com (http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2013/0517/Playing-the-IRS-card-Six-presidents-who-used-the-IRS-to-bash-political-foes/President-George-W.-Bush-R)


It would seem that Presidents using the IRS for political gain isn't something uncommon after all.

SNL did a pretty funny sketch about the IRS thing. Nice way to use humor to illuminate the issues. What we saw with the IRS was profiling. It's used all the time anywhere from a routine traffic stop to TSA lines. It may not be right, but it is effective.

The Obama administration has been one gigantic cluster ****. Sure, I understand he's criticized on everything he does, and he's wrongly blamed for a lot of the stuff. However, it goes without saying that they haven't helped themselves out at all. Leave the press be. Unless they are giving out national secrets or spies, leave them the **** alone. SO what they uncovered something that made you look bad. Here is a idea, stop doing stupid shit for them to report on.

I would have high hope for the next guy in office, but lets be honest, it isn't going to change much.

I thought the gripe with the TSA was how they don't profile. They will frist down the 90 YO lady while letting 4 or 5 strange looking middle eastern men on the plane without any checks.

I really don't know what to say about this assclown. If this guy even gets a sniff at a position in VA, than I'd say VA is full of morons.

I wonder how this is going to play out. I imagine some hypocrisy is going to come into play here.

He has virtually no shot of winning the Lt Governor election.

Not sure if that's totally true. He was bitching about the pork in the Sandy bill which seems to be filled with nothing but pork. Here is an eaxmple.

In a December press release, Coburn complained (http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=82c5222b-3bfd-4592-a29c-0f1f7bf4fdc9&ContentType_id=d741b7a7-7863-4223-9904-8cb9378aa03a&Group_id=41cf7e93-d82e-44c6-b4fb-f686b568e689) that the Sandy Relief bill contained "wasteful spending," and identified a series of items he objected to, including "$12.9 billion for future disaster mitigation activities and studies."

WTF is that and at 13 billion.
