So who would have been the difference-maker? Who is the conservative that would have beaten Obama? You have to be able to produce a name if you make these kind of claims.

Doesn't it bother any of the Obama supporters that the IRS did what they did, isn't this an abuse of power, doesn't it bother you that the administration out right lied about the attack in Libya, doesn't it bother you that this administration is violating 1 amendment rights of the press. I guess if you voted for Obama all this is just your government the way you wanted it, you can rejoice in the fact that your King was re-elected.

It's not knowable as that was a path not followed.

It's like asking what would have happened in the 60's had JFK ducked.

Are you people insane? Obama used the IRS to supress votes from the Tea Party? Talk about sore losers!

1. the IRS director was a Bush appointee and the people fire under him where all hired under the Bush adminstration

2. What Lie, did the president claim they died in a car crash ?

3. No one's first amendment right was violated. You do not have a right to leak classified information, anyone who does so knows full well they will face jail time.

You conservatives need to take a couple of minutes and think instead of just attacking the president because you are on the other side.

Wait, but YOU DO KNOW that "The whole point of keeping the tea party groups from forming and harassing them with the IRS, FBI and DHS was to control who was nominated in the Republican primary process.", so you must have somebody in mind. I mean, based on your theory, they must have been afraid of someone, right?

Nobody was going to beat Obama. Romney was actually the closest thing there was to a chance, and he wasn't close at all. Every rational American knows this to be the truth.

If you cant do basic math then there is no need in even debating.
Well, there is that Republican math. Who can take them seriously now?

Argue intimidation - maybe. Argue - voter suppression - no. Just no.

Again - Pubs will overreach so far that they will lose what traction they can get out of the IRS scandal.

That's exactly what happened with Benghazi.

Sour grapes, Romney lost, no amount of crying, moaning, or bellyaching will change that.

You guys are really bad losers.
