Um, do I need to remind you of how the left flipped out over Iran-Contra and Reagan didn't even disgrace his whole family after having spreading his love all over some interns dress. Just because the left feels pleasure from pain doesn't mean we need to excuse it because that's the way the world runs.

It's a sick world if there are no standards at all and everything goes so long as it's a democrat doing it.

I know I wouldn't want to live in that sort of world and I don't think many other people would either.

I have been on a crusade for some time to get the 'gate' suffix replaced with 'Monica.' So instead of, say, Benghazi-gate, IRS-gate, or AP-gate, we would have Benghazi-Monica, IRS-Monica, or AP-Monica.

I contend that using "Monica" would make equal sense as using "gate." But then I am not as bright and well educated as a big time reporter from the NYT, WaPO, CBS, NBC, etc.

No, you don't. The point is that nothing happened to Clinton and nothing is going to happen now. I'm not saying Clinton was a quality person. I was happy to NOT vote for him two times.

Really think that's the case Dane_in_LA?
Yes let us count which latest dishonest endeavor. Too many too mention ha" the President and his whack job thug style administration have been out of control, with the media's blessings up until now.

None of us are too danm stupid to not believe the obvious.

The sleeping dragons have awoken, and the big dragon does not know how to handle this.

The Tea Party Should be investigated, anyone that thinks they are not Potical needs to wake up from a very long sleep .There have been way too many of these groups that DID get approved, that's where the scandals is. I have been involved in a 501 c 3, several of them. We were doing everything right with our apps. Yet it took over 2 years sometimes to get our status. We as non profit historical groups are the ones that were treated unfairly, when these sham groupes just breeze through !

Naturally it was "low level" workers fault!
It's the right that wants to ditch the IRS, for a long time now they have been wanting this. Maybe it's a good time for them to do Somthing about it.

ETA: What's funny is the IRS has admitted to targeting conservative groups and apologized for it. Not sure why people here are trying to say it didn't happen.
That doesn't look good for Obama IMHO.

No one ever apologized to All Saints Episcopal Church for an IRS investigation triggered by an anti war sermon given in 2004. Under Bush the IRS Targeted a Liberal Church for an Anti War Sermon

Covered 8-9 times now.

The church was publicly giving political speeches. There is no proof any of the groups the IRS targeted did anything wrong.

What you are arguing is that since Jerry Sandusky was arrested all assistant coaches should be investigated.
