Having the IRS investigate the Rushmore Policy Council would be like making Bill Clinton Dean over an all girls school. Given the opportunity, someone's going to get screwed.

Plotting to use the IRS against political enemies. Isn't that what got Nixon in hot water?

They had the NERVE to publish Hillary's lap=dog's Voting Record???? My God...have they NO shame? ? Why....maybe they should be sent to Prison for that type of thing! Have they no decency....letting the voters know what their Senator's voting record is.....Max Baucus, The Slimey Weasel, probably want their Tongues on a Platter!!!

Political use of the IRS to intimidate critics is nothing new-ask the Mendoza's.

Is this the same IRS that won't look into Jesse Jackson's bunch of thugs? Who would have "thunk" it?

This is exactly why every Christian and/or conservative group must dot every i and cross every t with extreme care. The more of this I see, the more glad I am that Ann Coulter wrote her book. Treason takes these people on and exposes them for what they are.

Yep, as long as there is an agenda that is working and it's NOT a Democratic agenda, then they will push the trivial issues into the "biased press" to try and defunk the idea that they are doomed as a political party with their agenda.

Start shouting. Except for WND linking to the story briefly today, it is being ignored.

Yep. And the little turd got a free re-election pass because the former Montana governor and now Chairman of the National Republican Party didn't want to go to Washington.

You mean the NAACP and Jesse "Shakedown" Jackson don't even get an honorable mention?

You mean that Daschle feller's still around??

Yes, I saw him in a pink tutu during the last FR fundraising. Pink is not his color. I was thinking more of black and white horizontal stripes.

actually ignoring it is a agood idea.
dems want something, publicity, traction... something to point their leftward bent followers and say... SEE we are getting the bad guys.

The less traction they get on this publicity wise... the more it is like the tree falling in the woods... nobody sees them, nobody cares. their constituents see them as impotent, poweless, influence poor, and worthy of no 'gravitas'.

the liberal lazy loafers will be just too tired to vote for the " do nothing's " democrat party. they will stay home and wait for the check to arrive, since the dems are doing nothing of note.

letting this die, with a whimper... is what we need to do.
this investigation will go NOWHERE... silently, and slowly. Baucus will look like a no power nobody... and he won't get any "quan" out of it...

In a strong counter move, Republicans led by Bill 'free spending' Frist announced amnesty for all corrupt socialist NGO's. </sarcasm off Mr Newbie??????
