It’s by Michael Gerson, one of Dubya’s speech writers.

This is possibly the first thing Gerson has written that I’ve had any use for. Gerson is usually a shining example of the worst of the GOPe

This is an excellent chance to showcase capitalism. Whichever IT group recovers these emails is going to have bragging rights for the duration.

After all, the entire U.S. government tried to destroy them.

Not so!

It is time to prune out of Congress all of the ROTTEN RINOS who always cave in to Obama Democrats.

If Issa, Boehner, McCarthy, Ryan and Peter King of NY are not TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY, then of what use are they to us who really are TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY?

Koskinen said her emails were on tape but it was too complicated to retrieve them, and they didn’t bother tying to retrieve them - at least not to his knowledge.

The tapes are stored offsite which means they'd have to be signed out by someone. That makes retrieval followed by "destruction" or "accidental loss" complicated. They need to find a Sandy Berger to make the retrieval. ;-)

You will end up pruning your own proud self out of the picture too, or getting pruned, in circular firing squad style.

This is the epitome of trusting in self and not in God.

This is an editorial written by George W's main speechwriter Michael Gerson.

I'm sure it's not the opinion of the WP.

Obama is just doing what he was trained by Communists to do.

Speaker Boehner is to stupid to realize that fact.

As long as Speaker Boehner stays in power as Speaker, Obama will continue to destroy America.

What say you?

Why are they talking to this tool? Start talking to IRS employees lower on the ladder. Who was Lerners secretary during this period? Shouldn’t she/he know who Lerner was talking to and working on at that time? Should have lots of dirt. Sweat them. Rose Mary Woods certainly helped out in the Watergate investigation.

I mean look at Issa and what he really had to work with. Are you expecting one man to work miracles?

And in the meantime if you look at the squealing of the Democrats, you can see that it is Issa more than Boehner they fear.

(Well there is one Man who worked miracles but He physically quit the earth a BIT before America came into existence.)

You in your idolatrous quest for absolute purity are going to end up emasculating yourself. The perfect, which will NOT exist (all these idols will have clay feet sooner or later — yep even the founders did, slavery anyone?) will yet be the cause raised to mow down the good.

I say BS!

I say start looking at your heart and America’s hearts to see if GOD is treasured there!

Boehner is stupid, and that is not good.

Issa is a timid wuss, and that is not good.

RINOs who cave in to Obama Democrats are not good.

Yup! My job is to “Mow Down the not good.” Care to join me?

No, because you will mow down America itself.

America needs BUILDING UP and it needs to begin with YOUR HEART because you are destruction bent by confession.

CALL GOD INTO YOUR HEART FOR PERSONAL SALVATION.

I will concur with nothing less.
