I hope Bibi puts David Gregory in his place.

[Paine in the Neck]

My advice? Vote 5 times.

This would be the fastest way to get voting fraud fixed. Until Republicans are seen to be benefiting from voter fraud it will never be addressed. So, go for it.

[RayChuang88]

We are now finding out that the IRS not only can abuse taxpayers to no end (taxpayers have less rights than common criminals!), but in very recent years has been used as a political weapon. Now you know my tagline.

Zero shown doing an interview with Mika Geeka from Morning Joe and is morning ho. She’s as ignorant as ever and more than ready to carry the commie party line as zero explains why we have to destroy Iraq.

If Sarah Palin were to run for president she would already have between 30 and 35 percent of the vote without spending a dime. So how do you get the magical next 16 to 21 percent without selling out to special interests?

By standing for something. The current Republican Party has lost substance. They still play the same ole rhetoric -- lower taxes, smaller government, yada yada yada. "Read my lips" and Medicare Drug bill and formation of the MASSIVE Homeland Security Dept nullify that.

A candidate who could effectively stand for conservative values could easily pick up a large number of the ole Reagan/Blue Dog Democrats. They still hold on to their party identity because of family tradition, not because they like the direction the Dem Party has been going to last half-century.

Several 3rd parties have had strong candidates, but those parties were formed around those strong candidates. When those candidates faltered, the party lost.

American Party - George Wallace was running strong until he was shot

Reform Party - Ross Perot was running strong until he dropped out, reentered.

The two major political parties only have about 25% of the voter pool as their members. That leaves around 50% who identify themselves as independents -- some leaning Democratic, some leading Republican, some leaning Libertarian, some just complete nutcases.

A 3rd party? We know voting for the same and expecting a different result doesn't work. The only difference between the 2 major parties is the speed at which they are fundamentally changing the foundation of the United States of America.

“Something is dramatically wrong that many of our Tea party pats and most congresspeople seem corrupt after a few years in dc.”

1. Nothing new under the sun, since Adam and Eve
2. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely

What we have in our Federal and state representatives are people whose morals represent the decadent 70’s and the results that followed
Abortion on demand
No fault divorce
common core
The list can go on.
In Texas, thank God, we do have an honest man running for a very powerful Texas Lt. Governor position

[RummyChick]

Can someone tell me if the IRS guy really agreed to be the Mr Burns look a like or is someone just messing around with Wikipedia?

[rodguy911]

I saw that as usual Texas may be the solution for the entire country.

[Bernard]

I’m waiting for someone to ask who these border kids “escorts” are.

It would be ironic if it turned out to be Haliburton.

Or ACORN.

Most likely, it will be Carlos Danger Enterprises.

This revelation showed up in several related threads yesterday:

IRS Emails Backed Up by Outside Email Archiving Company

Sonasoft Software Licenses and Software Maintenance Support (Details of IRS Email Services)

This goes to my point about how easy it would be to break this story.

The IRS’s IT integrator stands to lose BIGTIME if the lie stands as the truth. The Statement of Work and other areas of the RFP and bid documents assure backup, archiving, document retrieval, all kinds of redundancy, mirror sites, etc.

The Contracting Office at IRS has the responsibility to investigate non-performance and such as alleged by these liars. The IRS IG has responsibility for investigating ALL of it.

The people with a vested interest in the lie being unraveled are available to reporters, and it’s easy enough to indicate to them (gently) that you are doing a story about their failure to do their job, meet their contract requirements, etc.

I did this stuff for years. This one isn’t even difficult. There are hundreds of people ready to say their system worked, they did their job, they complied with the contract requirements, etc.

There’s probably even a minority 8a in the soup somewhere that a reporter could use for a little more leverage.

[TomGuy]

Candy is doing her best to talk back to him.

The media doesn't even try to give the appearance of objectivity any more. They are all-in for the Democrats and they don't care who knows it.

[See my post #74 above regarding Woodruff on FNS.]

[RummyChick]

It appears someone is just messing with Wikipedia about the IRS commissioner and Mr Burns.

HA!

Let’s see how long it stays up.

[DanZ]

“They they started getting sued by the EPA and started losing. Now they hire snipers to take out our guys. Just as you contend.”

We have too much G’ment - Just like back in the U.S.S.R where the Five year plan was always the answer to the current problem.

Eliminate the Department of Education, TSA, EPA DFA, etc

[PaleoBob]

This would be the fastest way to get voting fraud fixed. Until Republicans are seen to be benefiting from voter fraud it will never be addressed. So, go for it.

Excellent point.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I agree, stealing our money, also IRA’s and 401 contributions. I seriously am thinking of buy a rental property, to safeguard the retirement money..the Feds may just take our retirements too.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Excellant points.

We just don’t have the “power of the State and Justice Dept” to frighten smaller fish.

[rodguy911]

Whats with Rand Paul? He’s all over the place on foreign policy? He keeps defending zero has no knowledge of at all of predatory politics hes become a useful idiot for the left. He would make lousy potus, IMHO.

[PaleoBob]

A 3rd party? We know voting for the same and expecting a different result doesn’t work. The only difference between the 2 major parties is the speed at which they are fundamentally changing the foundation of the United States of America.

To me, the necessity of a third party follows from the ABSOLUTE NEED to destroy the Republican Party as it currently exists. But I do think it’s a two-step process and for that reason its tough for many to fathom.

I will say this: I am hoping Mitch McConnell loses in Kentucky this fall. THAT is how far I’ve come at this point. And I appreciate that not everyone will agree.

[DanZ]

“We have no “Fourth Estate” media that that acts as the watchdog of the Republic. Rather, they have become the paid for and politically joined at the hip propagandists of the Left.”

This has always been the case. The communists handmaidens at CNN, ABC, NYT, etc. have given Pulitzer prizes to their favorites who lie with aplomb. 1932 Walter Duranty.

The very good news as Rush mentioned this pas week is that the communists handmaidens monopoly in information is over, Now the Rats are in full light, backed into a corner and are even more vicious

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Larri, you watchin them clouds?

This thing is swirlin around and movin pretty fast.
