The Republican party "Can't see past the nose on their face"

But see a Bogeyman behind every corner. I will leave it up to you if it is the mythical creature or another!

Their base eat this crap for breakfast lunch and dinner. They know it and use all of this and similar faux stories to distract from the reality of their inability to get with the problems at hand with solutions.

So the possibility of the IRS being used for politics isn't worth investigating?

It is very much worth investigating, but are we really investigating or politicizing? But then it already is a scandal.

Let me put it this way; if I was called before the likes of Issa or that Ayn Rand worshipper Ryan I would most certainly take the 5th because by the time they get through editing anything a witness says it would be unrecognizable. Those two would not recognize the truth if it bit them on the arse,

Clinton - Lewinski led to impeachment.
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld led us to Iraq war. Evidence was fabricated and when called out, Ms. Plame was outed. So there is a huge credibility gap.

And now Boehner and his proposed lawsuit? Pure dysfunction and I believe that the moderates and the left are getting sick and tired of the political drama.

As to IRS, if something is there, it is bound to come out. Wouldn't you expect the Republicans in IRS to be leaking in droves by now if there is criminal wrongdoing?

EDIT: Especially considering the diversity in the GOP.

Not one tea party group was denied tax free status, so where's the scandal?
Personally, I wish they would enforce the law as written. Exclusive means exclusive.

According to Wiki, many including Democrats believe this was an abuse of power.
