How many people have considered the fact that the Republicans are wasting their time, millions of dollars, and testing the American Public’s patience on pursuing a useless bunch of “investigations” of “scandals” that they say will bring on an impeachment of a President who is already into his second term, cannot be re-elected, and wouldn’t be convicted even if it ever got to an impeachment anyway? Just more jockeying for power, and a desperate attempt to influence the mid-term elections to try to hold on to some Senate and house seats that they are in real danger of losing. There is NO chance of these investigations going anywhere. It’s all political grandstanding, nothing more.
What’s really hilarious about the “scandals” the Republicans have concocted, are the direct result of legislation THEY wrote and passed for “W”. “Do as I say, not as I did”, is the new phrase of import.
As a friendly inquisitor can glyph elaborate on what laws you are referring to? I am genuinely interested as this is the first time I have heard this referenced. Specifics would be great to shut down the trolls but general reference is okay too.
Lest Liberals forget, Bill and Hillary Clinton were the Original ‘Birthers’, as they were the 1st to allege Obama was born in Kenya. They were the 1st to demand he show his Official State Certified BC. During every Democrat Debate, every one of Obama’s Opponents asked: “When are you going to show us your BC?”
Had the Democrats been the 1st to allege Obama was born in Kenya, the Republicans would never have brought it up.
I call BS on BOTH parties for the IRS situation. And on the Supremes for alliowing ANYONE to try to be a 501C4. I believe many of the conservatives that rushed to get that status were unsophisticated as to IRS rules. No, I don’t mean stupid. They answered in a manner that could be considered political, and were subject to higher scrutiny based on their application. The IRS questions DID go beyond the bounds of reasonableness, but it’s interesting that most conservative groups werte eventually APPROVED! Meanwhile, only 7 “Progressive” groups were approived during that same period!
Today my Senator, Rob Portman, spoke out and asked if anyone has been “disciplined/fired” at the IRS. Once again a rush to judgement before anyone knows the facts. IRS has been consistently underfunded, there was a rush of applications following Citizens United, many with improper/suspect/confusing information. It apears the reviewers involved used an unfortunate and inappropriate shorthand to judge these applications. Discipline before investigation is just as inappropriate. The IG’s report was an audit, not an investigation, so there are no charges to be applied at this time.
Joe Heller has been the staff editorial cartoonist for the Green Bay Press-Gazette since 1985. His cartoons appear in more than 350 publications, making him the most self-syndicated cartoonist in the nation.

Tho an adversarial system may produce better results, it does not work when it become corrosive.

Doesn’t look like Obama will be getting a third term.
