This Is No Ordinary Scandal

We are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate. The reputation of the Obama White House has, among conservatives, gone from sketchy to sinister, and, among liberals, from unsatisfying to dangerous. No one likes what they're seeing.

[Biggirl]

NO.

Besides, it has a LIFE of its own.

[Biggirl]

Plus Google has a treasure trove of news on the IRS scandal.

[NowApproachingMidnight]

Someone stand and file articles of impeachment for treason.
Stand now if you are gentlemen.

[central_va]

I want out of this so called Union.....

[GeronL]

Stand now if you are gentlemen

I have no doubt that Biggirl is a real, quality gentleman.

Sorry, I know better but...

Watergate was Richard Nixon’s taping of the Watergate hotel, during the elections.

Obamagate has eclipsed this by orders of magnitude. Wiretaps on 20 or more AP telephones, illegally recording more than 100 reporters, bugs in the Senate Cloak room, IRS political attacks against civilians, Benghazi and the murder of 4 americans (including our Ambassador), multiple lies to the people regarding the White House knowledge and response during this attack, assaults on the 2nd Amendment, illegal and intentional Gun Running to Mexican drug cartels, systematic destruction of the American Economy.

Nixon was impeached for just a fraction of what Obama has done.

But, I am racist for noticing.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

As Hillary Clinton would say about all of this.

“What does it matter??”

[Biggirl]

No, you are not a racist, just being honest. Remember the emperior now has no new clothes.

[Biggirl]

It sure does matter Hillary, it sure does matter.

[Biggirl]

I am a lady, but thank-you!

Not if we support those that are using our system to correct itself instead of tearing down the effort to use our checks and balances to stop this crap. I despise peggy but I damn sure support this article. If all else fails then the revolution will come... and it will not be anything that any sane person should want.

[GeronL]

I know, my joke went badly flat

[LibLieSlayer]

THEY no longer control the news cycle.. events do... as they should. Refuse their stories designed to keep America blind. We all have a voice and we had better use them.

If asked to attribute this paragraph:

What happened at the IRS is the government's essential business. The IRS case deserves and calls out for an independent counsel, fully armed with all that position's powers. Only then will stables that badly need to be cleaned, be cleaned. Everyone involved in this abuse of power should pay a price, because if they don't, the politicization of the IRS will continue—forever. If it is not stopped now, it will never stop. And if it isn't stopped, no one will ever respect or have even minimal faith in the revenue-gathering arm of the U.S. government again.

you'd never in a million years suggest Peggy Noonan. Ted Cruz perhaps.

———among conservatives, gone from sketchy to sinister-——

That needs to be sharpened up considerably to:

“among conservatives from disgusting to treacherously tyrannical”

We now pray for the Ceausescu moments. The first on the balcony and the second against the wall

[Peet]

...much like ben who? don’t know the guy.

You know, this guy...

[Biggirl]

....It is called the “new media.”

[Jim Noble]

We are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate

At this point, what difference does it make?

[GOPJ]

On the lighter brighter side... we get to see a how a third world hellhole operates without the inconvenience of leaving home.

Thanks you effing liberal thugs..

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Geez Peggy, just go away. You were starry-eyed when the Commie was elected.

Go speak to a book club, or something.
