It did not gain much traction because everyone was too busy making money back then to notice or care about anything else.

Well the same thing is happening today. People's investments are doing well on the booming stock market. Money talks and b.s. walks in America.

Whenever there is a problem with IRS, it's serious. They are powerful and if they can be used against political opponents or to silence speech, that's dangerous and against the principles of this country. We should particularly consider it given that they're about to be a big role in the healthcare of ths country.

More people know honey boo boo's name than the doctors name, even you didn't post his name.

People don't care. It is what it is.

Give me a break. With Citizens United, the Tea Party was obviously trying to buy the election outright. Guess what? They failed BIG TIME!

My potent political prognosticator predicts deep and bitter disappointment. Perhaps beyond that of Nov 7th, 2012.

Did you miss the fact that Obama outspent Romney by $100 million in the election? If that isn't buying an election, I don't know what is. Obama is good at marketing, and that is about it. People like you completely fell for it.

NewYorkGuy - have you ever in your life stepped back from blindly trusting what motherjones tells you and actually thought for yourself? Believe it or not, that is something you are allowed to do. But then you would have to have an intelligent conversation and wouldn't get the ego boost that you enjoy from blindly bashing other political parties online.

Congrats though! You are amazing at blindly parroting back what motherjones and thinkprogress writes. That sure is something to be proud of champ! Critical thinking can go to hell, right?

Bigger scandals are Obama giving Wall Street trillions in welfare, or appointing Monsanto executive to the FDA, but most Americans don't give a crap about those either.

Back to the drawing board, tune in to Limbaugh, maybe he has some ideas
