The Right Scoop ^ | May 18, 2013

Wow. This was an amazing speech by Rep. Mike Kelly as he puts this IRS scandal in the proper perspective, even questioning why the IRS Commissioner isn’t outraged by this. He tells the commissioner that this is a huge scandal because it reconfirms to the American people the things they fear about dealing with the IRS and calls it a huge blow to the faith and trust the American people have in their government.

I was thinking the same thing. Boehner certainly is not doing much other than saying people should be in jail a few days ago!

Rep Kelly tore Miller a new bunghole. I didn’t know Miller the a$$hat was previously the commissioner of the tax exempt division. Very interesting. And he doesn’t know anything about who or why the conservative groups were targeted!?!! (yeah...in a pig’s eye)

What could be a worse combination of groups to engage in health care thuggery - unions and the IRS.

This will be true tyranny a la Stalin, Mao, etc.

And that is precisely why the liar-in-chief was telling the heads full of mush grads to ignore whispers of government tyranny.

Rep. Mike Kelly represents the 3rd Congressional District of Pennsylvania which runs essentially from Erie to Butler in the northwest corner of the state. He was first elected in 2010 midterms.

This isn’t the first time that his remarks in Congress have gotten YouTube attention. He received a standing ovation on the House floor by the GOP during a motion to recommit:

Oh, I know Butler very well! I started up a fair amount of custom machinery there for a customer so I spent some time in and around Butler. Apollo/Leechburg too.

Mike Kelly’s family started a dealership that was shut down when Hussein Inc. Took over GM.

Yes, that was a nice speech, The purpose of the hearing, however, is not to give nice speeches, but to ask tough questions and hopefully obtain answers -- something that is really difficult to do when you have five minutes to ask questions and you spend 4:55 seconds of that time grandstanding.

With a couple hours of preparation, a good trial would have ripped these witnesses a new orifice in a five minute Q & A. No speeches, just five minutes of leading questions that leave no wiggle room for BS answers. But then agian, these are politicians and as we used to say in law school, "those who lack the skills to practice law, become professors, and those who lack the skills to practice or teach law go into politics."

ahhh...so it all comes full circle.

There have been so many scandals most people have forgotten about the people screwed over by the dealership closings.

That also why Bonehead needs to appoint a select committee that will hire lawyers to investigate, issue supenas and call witnesses that the lawyers will interrigate not this round robin side show.

Boehner is on his knees praying this all blows over so that he can carry on as usual.

Pukehead Boehner will never appoint a select committee on any matter.

We all must remember that Boehner has great antagonism towards the Tea Party.

Behind the scenes Boehner is smiling over the IRS harassment of the Tea Party and other Conservative groups.
