IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups[W:484,732]

Re: IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 201

Yeah, but you people elected him, TWICE...LOL!!! Then, you elected Obama and want to elect Hillary in 2016.

You guys elected Reagan and Bush Jr twice.

And look how much better they did than Obama. :rofl
 
Re: IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 201

It doesnt really matter, he will not run any more elections. Even if everything
you say is true and the Democratic party is self destructing, it would really have to hurry to self immolate before the Republcans do.


How is the Republican party self immolating ?

By pointing out Obama's corruption ?

Oh wait, some Lib on a political forum asserts the Rights destruction and he's doing with...........crickets...

Because I'm talking about 3 growing scandals PLUS a economy in ruin with a central bank stuck on stupid.

None of which is the fault of the Republicans.

Sorry, Reagan and Bush Jr are not defined by misplaced hatred and empty one dimensional talking points from the left.

" Bush Lied People Died " ...etc. Its just drek and look what its got us. Incompetence and run away corruption.......unless you can point to a Obama " success ".

The truth is it would be nice to have a President who valued integrity, honesty and truth, and until you lefties realize how important character is personally and when electing politicians you'll have to deal with huge corruptions and scandals.

WE didn't elect Obama.." Conservatives that is "....so why you continue to critique our leaders is beyond me.

You people have enough damage control to do
 
Re: IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 201

Thats not the platform of the "teabagger party". Please quote something official.

"Taxed Enough Already" That is where the name "Tea"Party comes from. How can anything be more official or basic than that?

How official is the 1st Amendment?
 
Re: IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 201

If their actions weren't dispicable, they wouldn't have apologized. :rofl
They apologized for the appearance of any inappropriateness.
Apologies in Washington are dirt cheap and usually mean little to nothing other than a desire to placate their biggest detractors.
Giving a second or third look into the tax status of any organization that advocates a destruction of the government by starving it of revenues is absolutely appropriate and absolutely called for.

Oh really? "The appearance? Got a link for that?

Where do any of these orgs call for the destruction of the government??
 
Re: IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 201

The TEA Party and it's supporters absolutely have the right to incriminate themselves. The first amendment guarantees that they can do that.
They have.
When they say things like ; " the government should be starved" and "The government should made small enough to be drowned in a bathtub".
Sounds to me like tax dodging anarchists.

I thought we were talking about the Teabagger Party. If "not paying taxes" is a major component of their platform, then it should be easy for you to find proof of it.

Calling for lower taxes and smaller government isn't a crime. :lamo
 
Re: IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 201

The IRS should never have apologized at all They should have doubled down assuring that if anyone calls for the "starving of the government" that they are guaranteed to be audited.
That would make sense.

That would make sense.

It would also guarantee that someone in the IRS would go to prison, too. Which would be a good thing.

I'm all about starving the government, until they learn how to better manage my money.

So would you feel better if we were taxed more? BTW: This whole WH BS, IRS, Benghazi and the AP deal gives new meaning to transparency. A bunch of 2 bit Chicago thugs running the show.

Calling for the end of the American government isn't a crime either but use your head ... If you were looking for tax dodgers and one group was calling for an end to taxes and the end of government and the other groups were not...who would you investigate?
It only makes sense that those groups are much more likely to be cheating and trying to hoodwink the IRS.
They have called attention to themselves with their wildly radical demands for the cutting of all taxes and the end of the US government.

Ever been audited?
Maybe you should be.
How would you do?
 
Re: IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 201

I got audited 2 years ago. Had to write a check for $600. That's not bad, by comparison.
 
Re: IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 201

Then, that's where you have to stop. It's illegal to single people out, just because their excercising their civil rights.

I'd do just fine. The blood-suckers won't find anything on me. But what a shame you regard being audited as punitive.

Count me among those who would love to see the fed bureaucracy undergo liposuction--and suck out all those bloated layers of high 5-figure pencil-sharpeners and redundancies. State too.
 
Re: IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 201

I would feel better if tax cheats were all caught, penalized and forced to pay what they owe. If that were to happen, taxes could go down for honest Americans.
How about you hfd ? Do you advocate tax cheating?
 
Re: IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 201

But what a shame you regard being audited as punitive.
I don't, and I never said it was or should be. I view being audited as being investigatory. Investigations should be carried out where they are likely to find nefarious tax practices. That would be within organizations that call for cutting all taxes and a starving of the US government.
Blood suckers are leaches and parasites. Organisms that take from a host and give nothing in return... you know like American billionaires who make their money in the US then hide their holdings in off shore tax havens to avoid paying their fair share.

I don't "have to stop"...

Ask yourself; If an Islamic extremist was exercising his 1st amendment right to call for the death of all infidels and death to America...would you consider it illegal for the Federal Department of Homeland Security to investigate that persons private activities and who he associates with?
I wouldn't.

From a legal standpoint...it is.

Apples and oranges, bro. Making specific death threats is illegal.
 
Re: IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 201

No doubt Obama has more than his share of resenters...from both sides. I think that makes him a moderate.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. No, his policies and his past define his political ideology......don't blame this on the moderates.

I think Progressives might disagree with you on many levels.[/QUOTE]

Most of what Clinton passed were Republican ideas, so why wouldn't they work with him? Oh wait, most of Obama's ideas were originally Republican ideas, too. So why aren't they co-operating with him like they did with Clinton?

That's ridiculous too. First off Clinton engineered the largest redistribution known to man when he appointed Criminal Democrat Politicians to run Fannie and Freddie and lowered the GSE's Capital requirements and their standards down to nearly nothing through his Home-ownership Strategy.

Your'e blaming the dysfunctional effects of Obama's policies on the Republicans ????....." "We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold...."

The house considers an abortion bill to be a job bill, so it's not surprising all those <ahem> so called job bills are sitting in the senate.


Since Republicans have publically announced they will never co-operate with Obama, I'd have to say the Republicans are the ones not co-operating by their own admission.

There are FORTY jobs bills from the House in the Senate. Forty...

Incompetant...perhaps a little. But I fail to see the corruption or that he wants to destroy this country.

LOL !!! Uhm..no. When your'e the President and your'e incompetent, there is only one level. As for Obama he's exceptionally incompetent. He should have never stepped up and taken the candidacy. What ? Did he think he was competing on American Idol ?

Without those manufactured talking points whatever would you do?

ZZZZzzzzzz.......boooring,...
