[Its over, Comrade Barack had all his troops out smashing the Conservative opposition in 2012, and there is currently a 'Clear and present danger' that if we let the Democratics continue to control the Senate and take back the House, Comrade Barack will have himself named Dictator for Life before the 2016 election season even gets underway.] "The House Ways and Means Committee this week released emails showing that, in 2008 and 2009, the FEC's general counsel staff sought tax information about conservative political groups from Lois Lerner of the IRS. Ms. Lerner is the IRS official who took the Fifth before Congress rather than tell her side of the story. She had previously worked at . . . the FEC's general counsel office. Such a request is a no-no in many ways. The FEC staff was investigating these groups without the approval of its commissioners in clear violation of FEC rules. And the IRS is legally barred from releasing confidential tax information—including to the FEC. The emails show that Ms. Lerner asked her staff to provide information to the FEC, and Ways and Means is seeking more documents. The suspicion of political motivation is compounded by disclosures this week by Don McGahn, one of three Republican FEC commissioners. He released documents that show a litany of FEC staff abuses—including unauthorized investigations, unsanctioned work with law enforcement, and cases when documents were kept from commissioners. These abuses were largely aimed at investigating conservative political groups One case involved the FEC handling of an accusation made in March 2012 by a Democratic operative against Rick Santorum's presidential campaign. Mr. McGahn reports that while the complaint was "scant at best," the FEC staff went to extraordinary lengths to find a violation. The FEC staff is barred by law from conducting investigations without the approval of its commissioners, who are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. This is to ensure political accountability. Yet the general counsel's office "performed extensive research during an extra-statutory investigation that produced various news articles and materials that claimed violations had occurred," says Mr. McGahn. The FEC's sources included the likes of the liberal Talking Points Memo Muckraker website, which FEC staff sent to the Santorum campaign for a response. The FEC commissioners recently closed the case without taking any action because there was no compelling evidence." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323681904578642190875395974.html
OMG! Some staff members read some web pages and news outlets about Santorum's election practices! Yeah, that's some reaaaally BIG "investigations"! How trivial does an act have to be to NOT represent a "threat to conservatives" in the Right Wing crybaby minds? And where was this conservative commissioner who is NOW complaining? Asleep at the stick, apparently.... What HORRIBLE THINGS happened to Santorum in this PRIMARY EXAMPLE of the Right Wing's "oppression"??? Why, nothing. Nothing at all...... Even though there was evidence, it wasn't "compelling" enough.
This is so reminiscent of Atlas Shrugged. Just a matter of time folks before the liberals enact a "Fair Share Committee", and if you don't comply with their restrictions, government will shut you down using the power of government. The IRS is just the beginning of a tyrannical government, and we can thank Obama for all of this tyranny
Tobacco one of those old-timers who will NEVER believe that a black guy could "legitimately" be elected President of "his" country. - - - Updated - - - Barack Obama created the IRS back in 1918?!?!?!? Gosh, did start World War-I and kidnap the Lindbergh baby too?
After Obama's scandalous attacks from the IRS, NSA, EPA, and more, his words are he's doing it so everyone does and pays their fair share. Watch the movies, they were written for him and anyone on the left that thinks the collective government is for the benefit of the people, which is a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing lie.
What racism in the above. To presume we only dislike him because his race is as racist an idea as they come. We don't like Obama and his actions because he is increasing the pace at which we are becoming a police state.
