Is President Obama Trying to Intimidate GOP Voters?

Not only is the White House pushing an executive order requiring would-be federal contractors to disclose political donations - a proposal so blatantly partisan that even Democrats are crying foul - but now the IRS has climbed aboard by challenging gifts to politically involved not-for-profits.
Scurrying to develop other ways to clamp down on GOP money-raising and influence, the Obama administration also has the IRS scrutinizing gifts made to non-profit groups that have political leanings. The tax authority has sent letters to five wealthy donors questioning, for the first time, the treatment of gifts to such advocacy groups. President Obama has long been on the warpath against such entities, that are organized as 501(c)(4)s and that have become increasingly powerful vehicles for political activists.
The IRS has gone out of its way to portray this unprecedented inquiry as the labor of two "career civil servants" in the estate and gift tax department, trying to suppress suspicions that the move is politically motivated. Still, the Financial Times calls the move a "radical departure in how tax authorities have treated such 'gifts' over the last 30 years."

Found West's waffling nemesis in the video:
On Thursday night, Dan Gordon commented on the need to "redefine" the relationship between the federal government and its contractors. Mr. Gordon was recently appointed by the Obama administration to head the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP), the federal government's procurement policy maker.

Sitting there telling bold faced lies.
Mr. Gordon is not Honorable.
Any fool can see the purpose of this EO.

What goes around comes around including investigating the donations to Zero’s 2008 campaign.

Plus not having the courtesy or guts to say if he agrees with the EO
Which is obvious that he does.
He is one of Obama’s butt boys.
Acts like a little kid caught stealing cigs from his mother's purse, guilty as all get out yet still maintains his “innocence” NOT!

They’re used to giving contradictory answers without confrontation and West isn’t letting it go. I KNOW! He is like a dog with a bone at times. Makes me LOL everytime I see him stick to guns and NEVER back down.

WOW! Thanks for the link on this lying weasel.
Without going into detail, Mr. Gordon said it would be a priority of his tenure to reassert the government’s control of the contracting process.
Well, that's all we need to know!

Not sleeping much myself these days. The pain is becoming intolerable.
Yes, I remember the pics of Jim with Sarah. LOL! IIRC, Sheila threatened to divorce him...AGAIN! ;*)
Your link didn't work for West at the FReeper Convention.
Here is Part 1 of his speech.
And Part 2!
Congressman LTC Allen West for President 2012 … West above the rest!
