Obama’s IRS rigged and stole the election

We'd also have a more conservative House and Senate in Congress if the IRS hadn't existed

Correct me if I’m wrong- isn’t Politico the political dirty-tricks arm of the Washington Post?

It’s a safe bet it at least impacted some senate and house races.

If conservatives had come out to vote, like their lives depended on it, we’d also have a more conservative House and Senate, and possibly the Presidency.

My hope in 2014 is that conservatives really do take the possibility of tyranny seriously enough to come out like their lives depend on, because it could very well do so.

Maybe they sense a new day is dawning in America and it’s lights out for the status quo.

Obama’s IRS prevented tea party groups form existing so they couldn’t get out the vote for conservatives

It appears Obama has outlived his usefulness. The powers behind him may have given up after he failed to get them their gun grab. And solidified opposition.

THAT pushed back the communist advance significantly. Tinfoil? I doubt it. Jarret has to be pooping bricks.

Impeach and Imprison Obama first for getting his IRS to rig the election for him to win. Then have another PRIMARY and election.

I'd have to trust the left to do the right thing more than I do to believe them.

Obama told his minions to ‘punish the enemy’ in 2010.

I think we’re simmering now and this summer will boil into a STRONG discontent for the administration by the beginning of 2014.

I just hope it doesn’t explode into violence. American’s don’t like being pushed and the DHS “defending” the IRS from peaceful protesters is one strange scene we never thought we’d see even 5 years ago.

I’m sure the IRS did have an effect, but anybody who really wanted to vote in 2012 did so. Those who stayed home, for whatever reason they stayed home, simply did so because it wasn’t THAT important to them.

Unless a person was physically incapacited last election season, the vote wasn’t that important to them.

Nope, there are too many people here, on FR. That will not vote for GOP, because they aren’t perfectly conservative.

These people will give the democrats the seats again. Because they will not vote for a lesser evil.

I hope that people are pissed enough to remember this in 2014.

All of those deceased voters probably helped too.

The results of the 2012 Elections should be de-certified.
