Ex-Cincinnati IRS Manager: This Was Not the Work of ‘Low-Level’ Employees

Tom, unless they were trying to be more efficient to process and approve the non-Tea Party, et al. faster! Then, targeting Tea-Party etc., would make them more efficient. It always comes down to wording with this bunch of whatever they are. I have too many names to call them!
The Tense Exchange Between Rep. Trey Gowdy and the Former IRS Head You’ve Been Waiting for…and It Doesn’t Disappoint

I think he may have let her leave citing her 5th amendment right so the congressmen would not waste their time questioning someone who obviously was not going to answer a single question. They only get so much time to question them and if each member asked a question it would be very time consuming. Embarrassing to her, but a complete waste of time when they could be asking questions to those who were actually going to respond.
Mitt Romney’s Jokey Advice for 2016 Contenders: ‘Sell the Horse’

S, and us!

Also, look at the crap that has just came out about the IRS and EPA. All of Obama’s supporters were able to work whereas the Tea Party and other conservative groups were hindered. You’d have to be crazy to not realize this had to have had an impact on the election. Maybe Obama and his administration campaign were worried about voter fraud and devised this plan to use the IRS and EPA and other forms of intimidation to ensure his election. Smart plan if you think about it and can get away with it. No one was looking for fraud other than in the voting booth and cards. I never heard anyone claim he stole the election by removing a substantial amount of his opponents by suppressing their right to voice their opinion and educate others.
Mitt Romney’s Jokey Advice for 2016 Contenders: ‘Sell the Horse’

I found Romney to be refreshing. Something totally different from what we have now. He seemed to be a man of morals, a strong leader, very intelligent, and a proven success (both family and business). I feel the reason he didn’t win is because of the Obama attack campaign against him. When I would talk to people supporting Obama or people who don’t even vote, they would cite all the wild claims the Obama Administration was throwing out. I would try and explain that all of that was not true and they would say, “Well, he seems like he cares for us and Romney doesn’t.” Again, a direct result of the Obama Attack Campaign. Romney is a man of morals and I believe he relied on his faith in god and Americans to see through the bs spilled by Obama and vote for him. He didn’t attack Obama with vicious lies, he ran a respectable campaign, in my opinion. I haven’t ever been prouder of any of campaign or candidate, however I have only lived through a few. He made me get excited about voting for him, which he is the very first person I have ever voted for. I think he would have taken our country and flipped it upside down and turned it back into something we could have been proud of again. Right now our country is torn apart, worse than ever. We have no leader and no one to rally us back into a united country. I am afraid of what 3 more years under Obama will bring. Lately all of these scandals have been coming out and I have a feeling it is only going to get worse for Obama, the U
Grade School Graduation Canceled After Anonymous Complaint About Prayer — and Christian Parents Have a Backup Plan

@nzkiwi Oh my!!! I don’t know exactly how many are in his grade, seems they have 15 or so in each class. I can’t imagine how small a place you must live in or is it a private school? We have about 1500 people or about that many in our little town. Our school is split up into Riverside East in one town and Riverside West in another town for our elementary grades. Jr. High and High School all go to Riverside East. I appreciate the smaller school and class, because it is beneficial to the students. The point I was getting at is that it is such a small school and class, that when anything happens everyone knows who did it. So, as in this case, everyone knew who it was. It wasn’t like it was an anonymous person. In a larger school, I imagine it would be harder to figure out who done it. I don’t have a problem with the no prayer, a moment of silence would/should suffice everyone. I am glad the school canceled the whole graduation, because she didn’t get her way. Yes, I feel for the students but its only a 6th grade grad. By not allowing the grad to continue, hurt her because her daughter was graduating. Now, they are mad and rumor has it is wanting to sue the school over the cancellation. Like I said before, she is a drama queen and she didn’t get her way for once. I like her daughter and husband, but she is an attention seeker. If she was doing this for any other reason than attention, I might understand her decision.
This Could Be the Weirdest Exchange from Wednesday’s Benghazi Hearing

May 9, 2013 at 2:43pm

In reply to TRILO.

I was wondering if maybe he is the one that they kept talking about not getting the position he wanted, yet. I forget who is was about, but supposedly one of the whistleblowers were upset about not getting a position he wanted yet and was upset and that is why he was coming forward. If it was him, maybe she was trying to get him to state on the record a specific position he wanted and when he didn’t get it, say see he was just a disgruntled employee.

I live in the school district this has happened at and we all know who it is that requested this. She is entitled to her own opinion, but she did not do this for any other reason than a political/attention seeking reason. She thinks she is bff’s with Bill Clinton and supposedly even invited him to the graduation. I won’t name her name for her daughters sake. She is a drama seeker and is always involved in something. Our town and school is extremely small. My sons grade has less than 40 kids in the entire grade. So, here it is a big deal because there really isn’t other religions practiced. You don’t see Muslims, Buddhist, etc here. Well, I never have anyways.
Rep. Louie Gohmert: ‘So Many Muslim Brotherhood Members’ Influencing Obama Admin. to Ignore Radical Islam Threat

In reply to Eastinfection.

@East.. I use to be that way. I am 32 yrs old, female, just got my masters, have a child, and am far from stupid. However, before the Benghazi attack I never ever watched any news program or read anything involving news or politics. I never voted, because frankly I had no desire to. Honestly, I would have told you I was a liberal. I previously thought Republicans were bad. Why? I don’t know. I come from a red state, but my lack of understanding I somehow believed they were bad. Now, all I do is read The Blaze, Breitbart, ect. and watch Fox News. So, my opinion has changed significantly. While I do not agree with everything Repubs believe in, I side with them against most Dems. I think thats the problems with low info voters and none voters. Most of them probably feel their opinions don’t matter and what difference does it make if I vote or not. Meanwhile, probably half of them feel it matters if they vote for American Idol, etc. Another reason I think they don’t care is because everyone has so much stress and crap going they don’t want to hear all the negativity that is spewed from the news. I did vote this year for the very first time and I was so excited. Wish my choice would have won, but I will vote again next time regardless.

@TH777…..At the federal level, Article II of the United States Constitution (Section 4) states that “The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors.” The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeaching, while the United States Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. The removal of impeached officials is automatic upon conviction in the Senate. In Nixon v. United States (1993), the Supreme Court determined that the federal judiciary cannot review such proceedings. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States)

Sounds like the House calls for impeachment, but it is up to the Senate to try him. So, technically yes to your question. If its up to the Democratic Senate, it would probably be dismissed with no trial or cleared with trial. Maybe they are waiting for the 2014 elections to see if the Senate will have a majority of Republicans. However, with Harry Reid still there, I doubt he would ever allow for a trial. So, lucky for Obama, unlucky for America if my understanding of the impeachment process is correct.

Actually, at least one of them, I think the younger brother has on his facebook that he is Muslim. It isn’t racist to state facts.
