These people don't need direct orders to go after American citizens base on ideology.

This is why Eric Holder is allowed not to prosecute the Black Panther voter intimidation case and instead go after duly elected Sheriff Joe of Arizona.
They have enough people believing that the left are nothing more than victims of the right's hatred towards them and they have done nothing wrong.

I say "Bring it on". The Repubs in Congress should just shut up and approve everything the Dems want.
Let 20+ million poor and uneducated become the next wave of voters.
Let them tax the rich out of the country.
Let them reduce small business to sole ownerships.
Let them keep funding their choice of "winners" and ignore the trail of bankruptcies.
Let them keep raising to the debt limit to keep up with our spending.

Politics at the national level is so corrupt and runs so deep there is no hope of fixing it.
Both sides have gone extreme. The moderates are a minority now and are shunned or publicly bashed when they don't tow the line.

Yes; he rates and gives employee evaluations to every single government employee. No problem.

A lot of COYA. ..but if it is true that the only reason they were grouped, is for consistency in handling (and not targeted for rejection). . .then I don't think there is any elaborate bad guy conspiracy here

If the R's let them have everything, the Left will blame the R's for not stopping it. It's a lose/lose situation. They have propaganda and blame down to a science. Too bad it only works on the very feeble minded.

I'm talking about how the mindless Obama voters never hold Obama accountable for anything Obama does or doesn't do. You know, like you never hold him accountable for anything.

Yes, Republicans are now being blamed for what it going to come with Obamacare.
"But they didn't give me the extra money I asked for" is already being said because HHS isn't going to have the exchanges all set up and ready to go come October. Meanwhile this bill was passed 3 years ago with taxes along the way to make it "self sustainable" with no additional funding from Congress. What happened there ?

Yup..Obamacare that had ZERO Republican votes is going to get blamed on Republicans.
And the masses will believe it too.

Hey buddy... This is a Winger pity-party thread.

They did something wrong. Maybe not illegal but definitely unethical and goes against the idea that the government is supposed to act non-partisan in it's execution of rules.

And they got caught so they apologized and threw us a bone with Miller's "firing".

Unless the worker bees being blamed come forward with names and some proof, this will just fade away.

The Miller "firing" is a joke. Does Obama really think Americans are that stupid?

They are. Obama has the "American people" down pat. He knows what they want and he gives it to them.
Geeze..he ran a smooth 2012 campaign. He had a big staff of tech weenies combing the internet and running models every night. The data analysis proved invaluable as you saw Obama able to deal with various groups and know exactly what to tell them to make them happy.
