Nick. Don’t get carried away, huh. Who gives a rats rear end about how your WARPED LEFTIST MIND interprets McConnell’s speech. You SOCIALIST FRAUDS have no credibility at all. THE FOREIGNER and no one else is the main guy behind all these scandals. IRS, BENGHAZI, FAST and FURIOUS, VOTER FRAUD, ELIGIBILITY FRAUD. NSA, WALPER, to name a few.

I didn't defend big government. What I did was far simpler than 'defense' ~ I told you what my experience had been, and that there was no way even under their own rules that any 3 year delay should have ever happened.

Telling you what they do doesn't defend them ~ rather it tells you where the CRIME IS.

RINOs, as you know all too well, don't tell you what these people do ~ they tut-tut and hope you go away.

The issue addressed in that particular thread however wasn't big versus small government but somebody said they were beyond the stage where facts are discovered ~ and, possibly I wasn't clear enough on that score. The truth is that WE ARE NOT BEYOND determining the facts. The new IRS commissioner continues to lie and Mitch McConnell continues to repeat those lies. I don't buy their lies. Maybe some do, but I don't.

Does anyone believe a GS 13 branch manager is an "official"?

That's like referring to a Captain as 'General' ~ seriously. At that level you might come up with a novel question every now and then but your purpose is to work to the numbers ~ maintain productivity, maintain security, keep workhours down.... As Jim noted, the three year delay is a serious matter, and my experience in a counterpart agency says 3 years is a heck of a lot longer than half an hour ~ which is what it would take us to handle any of those applications.

Not only that, but considering what I've read about the person, calling him a "conservative Republican" is even more inflated.

Since this wasn't dealt with now, IRS intimidation is going to become an entrenched practice.

"GOING to become"????

Well this was the first time it was brought to light and there was some genuine outrage about it.

Now it will become like the perennial allegations of voter fraud that never gets investigated.

Everyone will know its happening, and everyone in power will turn their head and pretend it isn't

The smoking gun is there ~ the lady who got fired, Holly, needs to be thoroughly debriefed on what she really knows, not what she thinks she knows.

The top dog to the whole event was Lois Lerner ~ she was the Obots trusted agent at IRS who could be given a spoken directive and she'd carry it out.

ALL THAT IS NEEDED is to interrogate all her subordinates AND the lawyers in IRS general counsel who advise her regarding her management areas.

Note the hundreds of times the Commissioner and his chief lackey visited the WH ~ what that means is they were meeting with someone there every third day to relay messages back to the internal bureaucracy at IRS ~ which would include Lois Lerner. That way Treasury Department's investigators would not find her on a phone talking to her confidants at the WH about what she should do.

He might have known a Republican ~ odds are most of the worker-bees in that agency are apolitical, but there have been reports of some serious management turnover in the area. That's always a sign that someone is doing a purge. If the career types aren't being rotated up the ladder, then they're bringing in outsiders to see if they can take command, and when they find someone who fits they leave them alone ~ until later! You've seen this in The Godather, right?

Goes on in Gub'mnt all the time.

Since the days when Clinton purged the entire force of Federal prosecutors, I've entertained no illusions.

Still, they usually can all the prosecutors ~ that’s considered an entry level job into political life ~ and it wasn’t an issue until ‘W” canned his own people ~ well, a bunch of them except for the zombie who prosecuted Campeon and Ramos. He got to hang around. That’s when I knew “W” was having mini-strokes!

Either the Republicans are completely incompetent, or they are in bed with the Democrats.

Either way, I want nothing to do with them.

The republican party leadership is in BED with the fascist democrats. I do not understand why so many people are blind to this simple truth.

“Any man who must say ‘I am the King’ is no true king.”

It’s not over because the apologists stamp their feet and claim it’s over.

It’s over when no one feels any need to falsely make that claim.

Hell, the next REPUBLICAN administration, if there is one, will be a Bush or a bobdole -different grades of the same thing- and the IRS will get more invasive than even the Democrats got. And while a couple of high profile privacy abuses will be directed against Democrat donors, the great bulk of them will still be directed to the right.

Another liberal rag. McConnell is a squish though. He has to be replaced, and not by Cornyn or any of the other doofus squadsters.

The Republicans are missing the point the Democrats made in blaming Bush for Abu Ghraib - where here it’s really true. Obama did create an atmosphere where the ends justifies the mean, where “enemies” needed to be punished, and based on IRS bonuses, it sure appears there were rewards for getting the job done - whether or not a direct order or link can be found.
