What will be the political fallout of the various scandals in which President Obama is ensnared? Chris Matthews thinks it will be huge. 
Appearing on today's Morning Joe, Matthews mused that the IRS scandal alone would be worth 5-10 points to Republican candidates. He specifically mentioned Mitch McConnell, Tom Corbett and Ken Cuccinelli as Republicans whom the scandal would aid in their 2014 races.

    For once Mr. Tinglelegs has it right.
We Tea Party folk will be crawling over broken glass to seek retribution at the ballot box.

    If, and it’s a big if, the Pubs win control of the Senate in 2014 and maintain control of the House, could Obamacare still be repealed after its gone into full effect? The Pubs would WANT to do that in the first place. But could it be done?

    Same with ole Howie Fineman. Has anyone noticed that Fineman now has a blue rinse in his beautiful steel gray locks? He looks like Quentin Crisp.

    Must be veto proof or the reps grow a set (highly unlikely in both cases).

    Tingles is clueless. He has no problem with the Zero’s actions, just that, once uncovered, it might have political fallout.
What a Maroon.

    5-10 points?
Fix the voting machines accordingly and bring out the dead.

    These Obama-suck ups are dazed and confused, hoping their abuser will change into a caring person.
Delusional liberals in denial all of them.

-
Any law passed by one congress “can” be repealed by another.
The question is not “can they?”; it is “will they?”.
Anything that government gives you; government can take away.
(government did not “give us” our “inalienable rights”; and can not take them from us)

    This is textbook "abused spouse syndrome". No matter 
what Obismal does to the liberal media (and to this point he's objectively out-Nixoned Richard Nixon) they will continue to love him.
Old "tingle leg" will be tingling again shortly, I'm afraid.
