i didnt know that was linked to the WH .. . i thought it was a couple employees at an IRS office in Ohio who pulled the tea party files bc it represented a new type of tax group that they wanted add'l instructions on how to handle the files ... employees who are registered republicans.
re. the NSA and the conservative republican stance = i find it very funny and hypocritical for conservatives to act appalled and lay blame squarely at pres obamas feet when they were the ones waiving the "its a matter of national security" when the patriot act came up for renewal or other top secret programs the bush admin didnt make known to the public ....
repub pres = matter of nat'l security, none of our biz, the price we pay for protecting our land from others
dem pres = scandal of nixon-esque proportions in which our pres is intentionally trampling our constitutional rights in a covert and planned operation to take our guns from us to allow a smooth socialist military take over!
