Sarah Hall Ingram, the IRS executive in charge of the tax exempt division in 2010 when it began targeting conservative Tea Party, evangelical and pro-Israel groups for harrassment, got more than $100,000 in bonuses between 2009 and 2012.

More recently, Ingram was promoted to serve as director of the tax agency’s Obamacare program office

“it’s all bukkake theater”

LOL. I had to look that up.

Well, the pressure cooker was obviously not filled with explosives so this guy will be on his way soon.

Rand Paul was right.

“there are still places in America that hate liberals and would rather a deeply flawed Mark Sanford than an elitist liberal.”

That’s worth repeating. My understanding is that Obama lost this district by 20 points last November. The democrats were very foolish to waste money on this race.

“If Obama was elected to two terms with a father who was never even a permanent resident much less citizen of US, the issue is resolved.”

Come back to earth.

Obama’s mother is an American citizen. Same situation as Cruz.

And yet Obama still had to produce a questionable birth certificate to prove that he was born in the US.

Look, the bottom line here is that millions of republicans will stay home if the party nominates a Canadian. I’m not one of them but that’s just reality.

“Not sure Hillary or Biden are really going to spend the effort needed”

No effort will be required. Hitlery will just have to attend the crowning ceremony and spout off a few words in praise of socialism. Most of the big names in the dem party are already saying that they won’t run if Hillary does.

“Paul is trying to be on both sides of the issue by muddling what he is saying and has said.”

Look, he stated very clearly that he is against amnesty and against a path to citizenship. He and Cruz have the exact same position on this issue. But this of course doesn’t stop the Paul haters from spreading misinformation.

There’s going to be a vote on this very soon and the haters will have to find another phony issue to beat him up with.

Yeah so what was the point about the endless debate about Obama’s birth certificate? His mother was born in The US and yet he still had to prove that he was born in Hawaii. This issue won’t go away.

Weapons of mass destruction? Are you talking about the pressure cooker bomb that can be built by any average teenager? Treating this kid as an enemy combatant would just make a mockery of the entire war on terror.

His reform doesn’t include amnesty.

Rand will vote ‘no’ on the Schumer/Rubio bill.

“will see government statistics take into account 21st century components such as film royalties and spending on research and development.”

Lol, what a sham. Film royalties and spending on R&D have been around for hundreds of years.

David Axelrod’s fingerprints are all over this “data shift”.

I doubt it. They’ll say that this incident proves that reform is needed more than ever. Obambi will begin exploiting this any minute now.

“They are indeed some of the most vile and ruthless killers on the planet. Scary they are here in the US”

One of them was here on a taxpayer funded scholarship.

It’s real.

Here’s footage of the shootout:

Big Sis was busy last week equipping the DHS with bagpipes and other musical instruments so she probably missed the intel reports on this plot:

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/heatherginsberg/2013/04/11/dhs-orders-bagpipes-so-much-for-sequester-cuts-n1564539

hmm, it was reported before that Sunil Tripathi was from Pennsylvania. And the dead perp (Mike) doesn’t look like he’s from Africa at all. We need more data before jumping to conclusions on this.

He is a philosophy major at brown university in Rhode Island.

It was reported that he is likely wearing a suicide vest. The other perp blew himself up apparently.

“Who is the innocent kid?”

Yeah, nobody in this story is “innocent”.

“he self-destructed with spectacular speed”

Nonsense. He’ll still win.

“They are probably going to be sending big checks to the two people they smeared about the marathon case.”

Are you talking about the Moroccan runners? There was nothing wrong with that story. They were the prime suspects at the time and all the networks reported on it.

Old news. Those two are Moroccan runners and they’ve already been cleared.

They are voting on the Cruz amendment now.

CNN may have jumped the gun on this one. NBC just quoted someone from the Attorney’s office in Boston, saying that no arrests were made.

Rand Paul: I didn’t back faster path to citizenship

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/03/19/rand-paul-advisers-say-he-didnt-back-faster-path-to-citizenship/

Lots of misreporting out there. Erick Erickson notes: “I have read the entirety of Rand Paul’s speech. I have spoken directly to the Senator. No where in his speech does he use the word ‘citizenship...’ Rand Paul is not calling for citizenship... Feel free to disagree with Senator Paul if you must. Just don’t claim he’s pursuing a path to citizenship.

http://www.redstate.com/2013/03/19/erica-werner-of-the-associated-press-reads-more-into-rand-pauls-speech-than-is-there/

I repeat: Rand and Cruz have the exact same position on this issue. And Cruz has endorsed everything Rand has said so far.

“I guess I’m left with Cruz.”

Paul and Cruz have the exact same position on this issue.

“What an assclown.”

What part of his statement you don’t agree with?

You don’t think there’s a defacto amnesty? You think Obama is doing a good job?

“Rand Paul just shot his chance at POTUS in the head.”

Because you don’t agree with him on everything?

You are probably forgetting that the “base” nominated McCain and Romney in the last two go arounds. If anything, Rand Paul might have a hard time because he is too conservative.

You may not like his position on immigration, but the others (Jeb, Rubio, etc..) have positions that are even worse.

“Rand’s got a ton of questionable statements”

Nonsense.

2016 will be Rand vs. Jeb. Santorum, Graham and Rubio will probably be in the race as well but their campaigns will never get off the ground. I predict a Paul/Cruz ticket in the general election.

"What difference does it make?"

He said that his amendment will fail, not the bill itself.

The vote on the main bill will not happen today. This is far from over.

“I’m a fan of Mark Sanford, because his voting record is impeccable.”

Same here. His wife is clearly trying to destroy him.

“What if he went up against Lindsey Graham?”

That was my hope until I found out that they are friends.

This guy is probably not the attacker. He is either a decoy or just happens to be a muslim student who was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The attacker would not be right there standing next to the bomb when it was detonated through a cell phone signal. If this was a suicide mission he would just detonate the bomb manually. I hope that this guy is not the only lead that they are pursuing.
