I’m sure the RINOs will hold their feet to the fire and impeach Obama!
Noting will come from any of this. Now let’s get back to Trayvon.

Defeatist thread responses abound.

So not only does the media suck, we know have the alternative media such as threads like this, sucking.

This is a joke and I repeat, a show hearing. Just like us, talk is all they can do.

Even if they do have a hearing and expose that this goes all the way to the oval orifice what are they going to DO about it? They have no power and the white hut will deny and ignore it all while they continue on their destructive path.

So what? Kongress can hold all the hearings they want, but two things make all of this irrelevant:

  1. The damage is already done. It won't un-elect the evil turd in the white house and
  2. There will be no meaningful consequences for any of the participants. Someone might get demoted or even lose a job (only to be rehired at a not too distant future date), but no one will get any jail time out of this flagrant abuse of power
There are really only three alternatives: 1. ignore it. 2. Sit back and enjoy the soap opera for its entertainment value (almost none) or 3. take condign 2nd amendment action (never happen)

But the long-term lesson for me has been is that we will never really get any government honesty before we get an honest media.

We don't have an honest media (but you knew that) - we have a Ministry of Truth.

The means to remedy that situation cannot be discussed in polite company.

too bad a few more pubbies don’t have your “seek and find” as part of their DNA - but the Tea Party is not their cupppa...pun intended. That’s the real problem, one party is for big business and the other is crying - “You guys used to love us.” Now they don’t know who they should support - like working people. Thanks DeLay, Hastert, Boehner etc. etc. for taking advantage of your job to make your life better while we conservatives are screaming at democRATS. /rant off

I think it is referring to the scandal of the coverup. The coverup is unravelling.

At some point even the left will be over this IMO.

Too much of Obama acting out.

Noonan: A Bombshell in the IRS Scandal

Lifson, Noonan and several from Townhall.com (Pavlich, Liebau, Johnson) are keeping the new IRS scandal revelations alive, and exposing the previous lies of the 0bama administration regarding this scandal. Hopefully, Congress will be just as persevering as these true journalists.

Add on the completely illegal "leaks" and abuse for political purposes of giving to DNC operatives the confidential information from the tax returns of Christine O'Donnell, National Organization for Marriage Chairman Testifies on IRS Abuses (VIDEO) and even Mitt Romney, many people should go to jail at the end of this Congressional investigation.

one can only hope that Issa’s commitee keeps up the pursuit, but I won’t hold my breath.


They are pretty much reduced to just insulting each other and calling each other names. All the while o-man just sits back and laughs as Pravda USSA protects him.

Everybody in the beltway is going on vacation in a week. Having a hit and run hearing now will have no impact.

Nothing will happen on the IRS scandal because the GOP refuses to engage Obama directly on the issue.

The Obama media at some point is going to have to make a choice between being total sycophants for Obama - and losing the few readers they have left - or doing the job journalists are suppose to do and saving their livelihoods.

I fear you are correct. Obama can get away with anything, because the media works for him, and Republicans don’t have any power. If Republicans did have the power, RINOs would do everything they could to destroy it.

Most of the Congress, busy arming al Qaeda and
attacking the American people and small businesses
could not care less.

IT IS ALL ABOUT THEM, and their own families
being EXEMPT from ObamaCARE
and the Laws they pass for others.

The problem with trying to pin this on “rogue agents” in Cincinnati is that once you get outside of DC, the low-level staff aren’t as likely to fall on their own swords to protect Dear Leader. Inside the Beltway, that’s ingrained as part of the job description, but in the rest of the country, not so much.

And just what is there to be optimistic about?

F&F was supposed to bring this regime to it’s knees. Uh,huh.

Benghazi was supposed to bring this regime to it’s knees. Uh, huh.

NSA was supposed to bring this regime to it’s knees. Uh, huh. The more that was revealed about the NSA spying on us, the more the public and members of both parties supported it. Hell, even more than just a few FReepers supported it.

The IRS story was supposed to bring this regime to it’s knees. Uh, huh.

Any of those scandals would have brought any other administration crashing down. But The One gets hit with one after another after another and doesn’t get so much as a scratch. Hell, he’s actually gotten stronger. His skin color makes him invulnerable and untouchable. So, no, there is nothing to be optimistic about these new “revelations.” They won’t mean a damn thing. All we can do is wait for 2016. Then he will (hopefully) be gone and historians can decree him as the greatest president in the history of the country.

Why do you even log-in, given that you are so resigned to defeat?

You can't even let the IRS thingy play out can you. You've already classified it as a defeat. Look, the media is really bad and we are in a really bad spot. That said, Obama hasn't gotten stronger and more and more people are seeing Obama for what he really is. It's not about the immediate defeat of Obama, it's instead about the long battle.

They won’t mean a damn thing. All we can do is wait for 2016. Then he will (hopefully) be gone and historians can decree him as the greatest president in the history of the country.

It shouldn't be about "waiting" until 2016. In 2016 there would be the next Big Government tyrannical candidate just like Obama and the propagandist media would still be in place supporting that candidate.

. . .Jay Carney's assurances that two rogue agents in a back office in the 27th most populous metropolis of America were the problem has been exposed as a blatant, outrageous lie.

Give the guy a break. He was just speaking to the best information he had at the time.
