McConnell tells Obama 'no more stonewalling' in IRS scandal
al Reuters ^ | May 14, 2013 | Thomas Ferraro

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell called on President Barack Obama on Tuesday to make available for questioning everyone who knew about the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups, and demanded "no more stonewalling."

With Congress preparing to hold hearings on the IRS's holding conservative groups to extra scrutiny, McConnell said he was "calling on the president to make available, completely and without restriction, everyone who can answer the questions we have as to what was going on at the IRS, who knew about it, and how high it went."

I’m not so sure the Republican Party has enough smarts to turn this nation around. When they get through forming all their damned committees (they need a committee to keep track of their committees), it may be too late. Just get the impeachment proceeding going and CUT THE CRAP! Go for it, Tea Party. Let’s get the job done.

From what Mark Levin said, these guys knew about this long ago and really did nothing; Issa sent a letter. Mark did all the legwork. McConnell and Boehner are wimps and not patriots. They need to sit down and stop embarrassing us. Let someone who will bravely stand up to left lead.

It is about getting re-elected. Nothing more.

Look on the bright side. If we keep voting for the lesser evil, soon we will have a whole bunch more. Though I think we are almost at a Greater Evil now...just perhaps...ya think?

Man up? No where in The Gobblers statement does he mention holding the persons responsible. He only wants to use it as a campaign issue. The hacks responsible for this should go to jail!

Well stop. You’ll upset the people who hate those purist types that demanded principled republicans. Because purity is wrong and bad.

“McConnell tells Obama ‘no more stonewalling’ in IRS scandal”

Milquetoast Mitch is SO intimidating — I’m sure Barry is quaking in his boots — NOT!

The next March on D.C. should be to remove Boehner & McConnell
While we still have a country left.

The tears of Obama are of laughter.

Should. Won’t but should. Too many psuedocons still think the GOP is on their side and fight people like us who try ‘holding feet to the fire” (just like they claimed they wanted in selling us Romney)rather than the people screwing them and America.
