Disenfranchisement isn’t political. It’s economic. If you want change, you’re going to have to punch the face of the money machine that keeps ALL of these knuckleheads in office.

As long as the government is big enough to hand out favors, it will attract the money machine. The lobbyists will go home when there is no more money to be had.

Yep, all the liberal hacks screaming about having to identify yourself at the polls, calling it racist saying it will disenfranchise the old and minorities and all the while the IRS was keeping conservative groups from organizing to get out the vote for the “enemy”. Nope Obama had nothing to do with it. Nope.
Be careful what you wish for.

@Radish….you have a habit of posting opinion as “fact” without an iota of substantiation. When did the IRS harass the “left”? Dates. Who in the “left” was “crushed”?

If You were an Obama Bundler you got a piece of the Stimulus in the form of magic green companies that went belly up. If you were a donor or bundler for Romney, you got the IRS giving your information to the Democrats who wanted to re elect Obama. They in turn made sure to get that information to any and all agencies who could harass the donors. Donate to Mitt, EPA edits your business in a week or maybe OSHA, or any number of agencies that they were doing the work of the messiah who was preaching the value of demonizing the rich.

You right wing name callers really are as dumb as rocks, but less polite.

After Richard Nixon took office, his administration quickly created a Special Services Staff to mastermind what a memo called “all IRS activities involving ideological, militant, subversive, radical, and similar type organizations.” More than 10,000 individuals and groups were targeted because of their political activism or slant between 1969 and 1973, including Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling (a left-wing critic of the Vietnam War) and the far-right John Birch Society.
.
The IRS was also given Nixon’s enemies list to, in the words of White House counsel John Dean, “use the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies.”

Gee you went all the way back to the 70s. That makes as much sense as the Ford Pinto, but hey we helped Impeach Nixon, why don’t you do the same with Obama.
Article 1: Obstruction of Justice.
stonewalling on Bengasi
Article 2: Abuse of Power.
IRS and the AP
Article 3: Contempt of Congress.
Everyday
Also those are the three Articles of Impeachment on Nixon.

The Internal Revenue Service, under pressure after admitting it targeted anti-tax Tea Party groups for scrutiny in recent years, also had its eye on at least three Democratic-leaning organizations seeking nonprofit status.
One of those groups, Emerge America, saw its tax-exempt status denied, forcing it to disclose its donors and pay some taxes. None of the Republican groups have said their applications were rejected.
