There is no limit to the current abuse of power and using the government to target any and all who disagree with Obama's vision of turning the US into a communist camp.

The Democrats make their money by looting the public treasury. They think they have to win.

Check with the head of True the Vote in Houston. She was investigated by the IRS, the EPA, the FEC and the EEOC because her TEA Party group specializing in investigating voter fraud applied for tax exempt status. Every one of these agencies should be brought to court.

FEC and IRS working together:
“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 informationincluding 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. “
This is the most corrupt administration in history and they keep getting away with it.

“Should” is the operative word. “Won’t” is reality. The repubs are limpsters.

I believe once the hi-tech ovens and railcars and tracks to FEMA Camps are completed, and gargantuan Chinese-made earth-mover are able to create mass-graves by the tens of thousands per day, then the Commie/NWO Statist vision will have reached its final "limit."

New Links Emerge in the IRS Scandal
Emails released this week sweep the Federal Election Commission into the conservative-targeting probe.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323681904578642180886421040.html#printMode
“Congressional investigators this week released emails suggesting that staff at the Federal Election Commission have been engaged in their own conservative targeting, with help from the IRS’s infamous Lois Lerner. This means more than just an expansion of the probe to the FEC. It’s a new link to the Obama team. “

Just like in CA — once they elected Ronald Reagan as governor and look at it now.

Shutting down a .guv *is* a good thing; However, for Nero and his Politburo, this will be a WIN-WIN, thanks to the Mainstream Media propaganda machine.
They will frame this as "War against the middle class and po' people. AS Gangsta-0 golfs and the family lick ice cream and stroll quaint shops and beaches at Martha's Vineyard.

So far in this harassment of conservatives scandal we have the IRS (Treasury), the FEC (supposedly independent), OSHA (Commerce), and the EPA (its own cabinet-level department). Gosh, where is the ONLY place those lines of authority meet?
This is just like Fast & Furious in that the operation necessarily included elements of both the Department of State and the ATF. Yet in both cases, not one major news outlet, including Fox, ever connected those dots at the White House.
