From the IRS to the NSA, Americans have reasons not to trust

Fred....it's the same reason the R's did NOT go after Ted Stevens in Alaska....it's the way
Washington WORKS (or not)....having come of age in the 60's....HERE'S the real reason things
are the way they are....corruption is a "core value"...WHAT'S in it for me and HOW can I profit?

We have the government we,as a people, DESERVE....because NO ONE was paying attention,
when mattered....CRITICAL THINKING, the "other" National Deficit"......JMO

Give it up. If this was a republican administration, you'd be all over this like a pit bull on a raw steak. Since it's democrats, they get a pass for this crap from you.

This administration can do no wrong in your eyes, we get that.

And we don't care anymore.

And I don't care that you don't care.... :Yawn:

You didn't care when the Bushies were destroying the country for the previous 8 years... 'Scuse me if I'm not impressed with your selective outrage.

Why isn't Obama going after this guy?

"Wined and dined"? The Administration is refusing to even endorse Rangel for reelection...

And gee, there are THREE -- (Count 'em...THREE) -- Republican governors who are, or about to be, indicted for criminal charges. And I can list all of the Republican congress-critters who have been convicted, and the ones which have gone to prison... Where was your outrage then?

Give me a break...

Surprise! Koskinen, IRS head, makes big donations to Democrat campaigns. Playing partisan politics with his bureau is just that extra touch he needs to support his liberal fellows.
(and destroying, er, recycling, all the evidence and putting roadblocks on the congressional investigation.)
Maybe BHO will give him a ambassadorship to recognize him for his service to the Party.

No wonder incumbents are virtually untouchable. You may think this is just the typical partisan attack, but using the IRS as a weapon against your political foes is a dangerous line to cross.

In this case I think you're in the right, Fred. This needs to be brought to light despite the left's best effports to brush it aside as just a false outrage.

Some of the scandals that have come up about Obama are the opposite - they really are just bitchin and moaning about nuthin.

Partisanship is the problem. Conservatives that consider the current administration evil incarnate are missing any good ideas they might have (the fact that I can't think of any at the moment shows me that I'm part of the problem I'm bitching about), and Liberals defend every boneheaded power grab that Obama and his ilk spoon feed them while blaming everything that's wrong with the world including the hole in their sock on Bush and the republicans.

I'm going on vacation soon. I'm not going to read a paper, look at a website, or listen to a newscast the whole time except to check the weather to see if I'm gonna get wet or sunburned in my hammock.

That coupled with this realization that I'm running in circles denying I have a left leg while LJ runs around the opposite direction because she denies having a right, for me it's game over.

Thanks for playing.

Just because you feel you DESERVE pig slop because YOU weren't paying attention doesn't mean some of the rest of us do. Please quit broadbrushing the rest of us with YOUR failure to pay attention.

Ya MG, I was payin attention too.
