Usually when people are digging themselves into hole, they stop digging. Not these a$$ hats.

Does a Hard Drive have some of Intellectual Awareness?

The Hard Drive, obviously a Democrat, decided to destroy itself to save Lois Lerner because those Evil Republicans were really mean to her.

Wow, self sacrifice, like Arnold at the end of the second Terminator Movie.

Lerner taking the 5th twice, the community organizer saying there wasn’t a smidgen of corruption, and missing emails. Meanwhile, Boehner is playing whiffle ball against a dictator.

Budget cuts are responsible for the inability to produce evidence?

Well, okey doakey. The argument they are trying to make is like saying that that Jack Welch, ex CEO of General Electric, could not get his hard drive data restored because GE was cutting back and laying off

Of course when you have a 2% budget cutback in a 700 Billion dollar budget for the Second largest government agency , the single most logical and natural place to save money is to scrimp on the data recovery on the hard drives of the 7 highest placed officers and political appointees( equivalent of the CEO, President, CFO, ect) of that agency .

As we have seen by their Congressional testimonies, these same 7 are some of the most arrogant, entitled and self important people one can imagine and who all expect the little people who are their underlings to ask “how high” when their masters order them to jump.

If Lois Lerner had truly wanted the data on her hard drive recovered , as opposed to destroying the damaging information it contained , she and the others would have raised hell until their e mails were restored and every other function in the IRS would have ground to a halt until they got what exactly what they wanted and demanded .

“Meanwhile, Boehner is playing whiffle ball against a dictator.”

You’re generous.

Boehner is playing air-guitar in a battle-of-the-bands against Metallica.

Boehner is taking on a professional polo team with nothing but a hobby horse and a splintered reed.

Bohener is pretending to try and stave off the fires of unholy Hell with a leaky water pistol; it gives him cover to cry when it doesn’t work.

You have to admit that there’s a sort of twisted logic underscoring that foolish claim.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) understands that the voters in his district are stupid enough to elect him to Congress.

So it’s only natural for him to believe that the voters in his district are stupid enough to accept his foolish claim.

Too bad for Earl that not all voters are as stupid as the ones that elected him.

But lib voters do not see what their reps say or how they vote. So, they get rewarded every election day unless....there really is a wave in Nov. We shall see. Polls do not reflect that now but perhaps there is a hidden resentment against these insane Dem socialists that is not evident in all 50 states.

Yes, our poor government is like Oliver Twist. It is impoverished, and barely has any money. Yeah, right.
