It's been going on for awhile, really... That doesn't make it right, of course, but I'm so tired of the partisan pretend games - "Oh, no - this has never happened before! I mean, if you ignore those times when MY team did the same thing, of course... other than that, it has NEVER happened before... Obama!"
This scandal should scare the crap out of all of us but, no, most liberals see conservatives as the enemy and any tool that can be used against them should be in their opinion. At some point, even if you don't believe it's ever going to happen, there will be an administration that you don't agree with on every issue. How would you feel if the tables were turned?
I think you can gauge from this very thread the overall reaction from all but a tiny handful of liberals. It's the 3 D's: denial, deflection, and Dubya.
You're just not going to get a serious response from the bulk of Democrats. Many are disingenuous operators who would probably love themselves to go to work for the IRS and see what havoc they could wreck upon conservative taxpayers. Most of the rest are useful idiots. That's why Pres. Obama will never go below 40% job approval. Obama never had the conservatives, of course. He lost the indys, but he retains the 40%, the hard-core Democrats whose motto is 'my party, right or wrong.'
W Bush by contrast got as low as 28%. By the end of his term he had lost the indys, and a significant share of conservatives/Republicans.
And since the 'birther' issue was (supposedly) leaked from the Hillary campaign in 2008 ..
I foolishly supported Hillary in 2008 and watched how Obama and his henchmen
railroaded her , I was going to be the good little girl and vote for Obama but all I saw was a sleaze
after Hillary went to work for him as Secretary of State I saw how all that was, was a political move on her part, but she turned out to be just as slimy as him!
I lost ALL respect for her and Bill
it was only power bull shi* nothing about the country boy have I woke up these last 6 years!!! And not just them but half of the republicans too!!! I honestly think Romney would have made a good president
look at Ron Paul and his hack son!! Two pieces of work!!!
Hope there will be someone who steps up worth a flip
but Hillary Clinton is a POS!!!
She does not stand a rat's ass chance she is making a fool of herself and Bill is old hat and just plain OLD!!!
But I admit I do want to see the scum Obama's and Hack Clinton's sling mud
and sling it they will
Bill has not gotten over having the race card played on him an when he unleashes it will be popcorn time LOL
Hillary will be saying how she resigned because of Obama being off the chain I can just hear her
shoot all they have to do is replay her 3 AM Phone Call ad over and over!!!

And old Bush cannot go to some places in Europe as he would possibly be arrested as a war criminal.
That is a fate unlikely to befall Obama. So he is never going to get to that level.
According to the new book by Klein, there was a deal struck between Obama and the Clintons. They agreed to support Obama in 2008 in return for Obama's support for Hillary in 2016. They delivered too--the DNC speech by Bill was a home run for Obama.
Now the irony is that the Clintons will probably not want reciprocation in 2016. And I agree with the poster who said that Bill never got over having the race card played on him in 2008 in SC. I believe he took great pride in his support from blacks. After 2000 he chose to put his post-presidency office in Harlem. Now he is going to have a chance to settle that score. And if I were James Clyburn, I'd be watching my back.
Perhaps the remarks by Lanny Davis are opening shots.
Yeah they should really sweat that...2028 may well be a bad year..
This isn't a cheerleading thread - this is nothing but trolling frankly.
But this is the crux of why you don't care. You probably think it's perfectly acceptable to target conservatives and believe there will always be a Democratic president so there is absolutely zero chance of the same thing happening to liberals. You have zero clue what will happen between now and any future election or how the elections will go. But keep on singing this tune, seeing conservatives as enemies and never questioning what our government does if it only affects those you don't like.

You basically did that in your first post on this thread.
And, for the record, I've been considered a liberal at times by some of the hardcore Tea Party crowd.
We may not want a prosecutor as there still is nothing that appears criminal. But it does appear the IRS has sufficiently strained credibility that the air needs to be cleared and perhaps some retirements encouraged. And if the investigation reveals actual criminality than the DofJ can go for an indictment.
As there is involvement by the DOJ in this whether criminal or not the only thing acceptable is someone with prosecutorial powers. That is especially true when you consider Holder's track record, he should be no where the final decision in this matter.
