The scandals are falling apart (seriously)

Washington Post ^ | May 16, 2013 | Ezra Klein

Scandals can bring down presidents, decide elections and revive down-and-out political parties.

 

Gee, you don't say.  So, It's a wonder these scandals are finally seeing the light of day in some pall mall and obtuse way.

 

The real scandal is that you woke up this morning and were allowed to push this drivel that "it's time to move on".

WaPo back to White Washing for The White House

Scandals can bring down presidents, decide elections and revive down-and-out political parties...

can they cause liberty trees to be watered? can they cause the usage of billions of hollow points?

Hey Ezra! I don't care if the IRS comes after me. Why? Because the whole tax code is voluntary. What you may ask? Well Ezra, the payment of taxes, and the filing of returns is voluntary. Haven't you heard? Yes, it's true.

But remember Ezra, if you don't voluntarily pay your taxes, you will probably voluntarily go to jail. Jail Ezra, like Ft. Leavenworth. Scary place Ezra, I've been there a few times (no, not as a criminal).

So, this regime, the Baraq H. 0bama regime wants everyone to do as he pleases, or commands. Right Ezra?

Ezra, between you and me, I feel there's a bad moon arisen. A real bad moon. The kind that gets people killed.

Ask your savior/messiah 0bama to end this madness before it's too late.

Wait till the tsunami of bad news from Democrats running for re/election gets back to the DNC.

Proud "Progressive Democrat" Barbara Buono is on track to become the first major party nominee in New Jersey state history who fails to raise enough money in the primary to qualify for maximum public financing.

NJ Democrats are registered 10-1 but Buono can't even raise enough money to qualify for matching funds. Buono’s campaign war chest is so skimpy she may not generate enough contributions to secure all of her public matching funds for the primary or general election. NOTE Buono is running in a crowded latino state---and was just endorsed by an Hispanic group. (SOURCE http://www.nj.com/)

Ezra better tell Max Baucus, who thinks the IRS scandal is about to get much, much worse.

I didn’t consider, until today, that the fedgov anticipated that something they did coming to light, or something they plan to do,

would cause the “civil unrest” (revolt) that they are buying all the ammo and military equipment for.

Shameless, craven assholery from the so-called journalists.

[MrB]

The bassturds RIGGED AN ELECTION.

This will not, can not stand.

Sorry, Ezra, you're behind the curve on this one and nobody cares what your desperate spinning is. "There's no 'there' there" isn't going to cut it. And contrary to what you just wrote, the more we learn about these the more serious they look.

I don't think Klein really understands things from any other than a strictly partisan-games perspective, which is too bad because he is bright enough to do better than that. This piece, though, this is simply embarrassing.

[skeeter]

This is less an article with useful information than it is some leftist journalist's attempt to minimize democrat/Obama lawbreaking.

The investigations into these scandals might not go anywhere, justice may not ever be served, but not the reasons this hack cites.

[Rennes Templar]

“It’s not the scandals that are falling apart but rather our country.”

I’m an optimist. I think this is the beginning of the Regime agenda falling apart, and America getting back on the road to her true foundations.

[tanknetter]

Bluntly speaking, we don’t need these scandals to take down Obama.

What we need them to do is reset the debate on size scope and role of govenment onto out playing field.

They’re already doing that, if “Dead Intern Joe’s” sudden u turn on tn background checks is any indication. Gun control is effectively dead. And other second term agenda items like immigration reform and the ObamaCare implementation are going to be impacted in our favor.

oH..puhLEEZ. GIVE IT A BREAK.

No one is ever perfect enough on this site.

[NELSON111]

I hate to say it but the compost is right (for the wrong reasons).

I have heard numerous talking heads and talk show hosts talking about how this could bring Obama down....and even some Freepers. Bull-o-knee. Ain't heppening.

Evil, corrupt dictators at this stage of their reign are usually very good at hiding their tracks. There will be NOTHING that leads back to the White House. NOTHING. It may be plain as day that it does...it may be obvious the POTUS is lying. But there will be no proof and just like always he will simply say: "I know nothing...we had nothing to do with it...I just found out watching the news..." and you won't be able to prove a thing. He has NO honor so he will not be shamed into stepping down.

If any here think this is his down-fall...I'm willing to make a little wager with ya...

[Rennes Templar]

True, but I think it’s good insight into the mindset of a cornered Rat.

[NELSON111]

And I should also add...the AP story is only a big deal to the Media as far as I am concerned because frankly...I am sick and tired of congress and their staffers leaking classified info. I have a security clearance and take it very seriously. I feel no sympathy if they are being investigated....AS LONG AS IT IS FAIR and snags leaky Leahy as well as any GOP loud mouths.

If the proper warrants were obtained and the records were obtained according to the law...I have no tears for the meadia. A security leak undermines our country.

Klein knows darn well that the Obama gig is up, he's just praying in print.

[kevao]

Told ya Issa would screw this up.

LOL. The IRS scandal was revealed just seven days ago. The liberal hack Klein, in the WP no less, tells you there's no there there, and you believe it. That's what LIVs do.
