Jeez, the IRS has been very busy waging war on the Tea Party and other conservatives; how can we expect them to have time to prevent fraud such as this? Particularly since the yield from this fraud is mostly going to the DimocRATs’ constituents.

You’ve got to pass it before you can find out what you are going to get in the “end”.
