To align the IRS scandal, bad as it is, with voter suppression is an unsubstantiated act of fantasy, and I suspect that you're smart enough to know that. Romney did not lose for a lack of resources, and you can still vote even if you get audited.

So unless you can support your claims with specifics - which you can't - then of course the rational conclusion is that Obama won his second term fair and square.
Lame. Really?

Let's cut off ALL union activity and money in the next election and see how well the dems do.

Deal with it.
You folks can make that point over and over, but...we'll never know, will we? The IRS was used to intimidate political opponents, leak their tax records, audit donors to the GOP...this was a dirty election on an unprecedented level in modern times. It's interesting the Democrats felt they had to do this, wouldn't you say?

Obama has dirty hands, and all I hear from Democrats posting on C-D is excuses.

We? You have a squirrel in your pocket?

Let's explain this to you, any organization that intended to work to get Romney elected would have violated its 501(c)4 status... the whole point of the extra scrutiny was the concern that right wing organization didn't have a freaking clue about the do's of a 501(c)4! A suspicion that conservatives like yourself intent on confirming.

There are so many things yet to investigate.

Remember this? Just what comprises this 'database'? How has it been used by the Obama administration?

The corrupt imposter posing in the White House today received 10 million fewer votes than he did in 2008. If Romney had received an additional 4 million votes, he would have won.

We will never know how many Romney voters never made it to the polls because of the Obama regime's criminal campaign to target conservative grass roots organizations. Think of all the fundraising that was lost, all the volunteer time that was lost, and all the votes that were lost because of Obama's illegal and unethical methods of intimidation and voter suppression.

It cannot be said that Obama legitimately won his second term.
If any of that dribble is true, I'm glad to see that the Dems have finally figured out how to play the Repub's dirty tricks. There's no way that Bush won florida in 2000 legitimately and there were certainly irregularities in Ohio in 2004.

Crosssroads GPS seemed able to get their message out, were they intimidated, which conservative groups failed.

The PA judge who ruled to uphold the voter ID law in August when liberal-leaning and civil rights groups challenged it. But the state’s Supreme Court instructed the judge to hold further hearings. Shortly after the voter ID law was overturned and voter ID was not required. Now how hard is it really to get a voter ID? Really?

Odd? Romney got zero votes in 59 precincts in Philadelphia and 9 precincts in Ohio.

In St. Lucie County, Fla., about 175,500 residents were registered to vote on Election Day. But when results came in that night, officials counted more than 247,383 votes. Voter turnout was a whopping 140.92 %. Worthy of investigation for potential voter fraud.

200 fake voter application cards had been sent to Hamilton County in Ohio, including one with the name "Adolf Hitler." Conservative outlets made much of the fake cards -- especially their use of the dictator's name ... nothing was done.

Census data shows Americans who identify as African American made up 1.6% of the population in Maine in 2010. In some parts of rural Maine, there were dozens, dozens of black people who came in and voted on Election Day. Everybody has a right to vote, but nobody in town knew any of them,"

Slightly off topic - but did you see that Obama lectured the Naval Academy graduates on sexual harassment today? I wonder if he ever lectures his inner city constituencies on abuse of government programs? He's total trash. Those poor graduating cadets had to have their big day tarnished by listening to that twit lecture them.

Obama doesn't deserve to be in the presence of FINE military academy graduates or protected by the finest and bravest this nation has to offer much less to talk down to them. He seriously has zero class.

Good point. They should not have been applying for 501c (4) status anyway IF they intended to elect a particular candidate.

Tell us again how this impacted the vote?
