The IRS scandal was connected this week not just to the Washington officethat had been establishedbut to the office of the chief counsel.
That is a bombshellsuch a big one that it managed to emerge in spite of an unfocused, frequently off-point congressional hearing in which some members seemed to have accidentally woken up in the middle of a committee room, some seemed unaware of the implications of what their investigators had uncovered, one pretended that the investigation should end if IRS workers couldn't say the president had personally called and told them to harass his foes, and one seemed to be holding a filibuster on Pakistan.
Still, what landed was a bombshell. And Democrats know it. Which is why they are so desperate to make the investigation go away. They know, as Republicans do, that the chief counsel of the IRS is one of only two Obama political appointees in the entire agency.

There is no GOP. It went away a long time ago. Now there is only the Democrat Party. Totally serious. I think it's a massive infiltration and takeover You, my friend, are very wise and perceptive. I concur.

It is abundantly clear that the federal level of the United States is controlled by one party, the ruling class party. The two factions of the ruling class, the democrats and the GOPe, are as two mafia families that divide territory and operations. The Tea Party is a true second party and both GOPe and democrats are united against it. Repeated in bold for emphasis.

That is interesting.

My nephew played golf with Scott Walker on Tuesday and likes him. Cool. If I had an in like that I'd use it to bring this plan up directly — I sent a letter, but there's been no reply, and there's no guarantee that the governor would ever even lay eyes on it..

If the GOP had any real leadership, Hussein 0bama would be on the run. Not even C-SPAN is giving any coverage on this, and St. Trayvon is still dominating much f the news.

Apparently the Governor said he’s going after WI income tax next. Wonder who would oppose that???

Obama may have had help from the GOPe Certainly! If not materially, at least by their acquiescence.
