This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Supporting Obama confers immunity from prosecution. He'll probably issue a truckload of presidential pardons on his way out the door next January, but we still need to know the extent of his administration's offenses.

No offense, but I don't think I'm going to judge him on what you think he'll probably do.

The audit could be a coincidence, but maybe not. who knows? Yes, there needs to be an investigation, not that anything conclusive would come of it, but at least the whole smelly affair would be held up to the light of day.
Now, as to that presidential power to detain indefinitely without trial, isn't it time to rethink that?

This is exactly why a President can target political opponents but should not target private figures that support them.
Whose to say this isnt just same rank and file bureaucrat looking to make a name by taking down someone the President doesnt like? It argues for not targeting people publicly just because of who they chose to support. The problem is Obama is a Chicago machine pol, this is what he knows. He gets points politically by just letting things happen after he paints a bullseye on them with public statements. He doesnt have to set the wheels in motion, personally.

Yea I'm sure if Bush was sicking the IRS on Kerry Supporters and trying to find ways to prosecute them, the liberals would all believe it was just a "coincidence"
