Survey: Majority Wants Bigger Probe Into IRS Scandal
Newsmax ^ | Monday, 12 May 2014 | Drew MacKenzie

A majority of Americans are in favor of a deeper investigation into the Internal Revenue Service for targeting the tea party and other conservatives, a new survey shows.

Fifty-seven percent of likely American voters believe the Obama administration has not gone far enough in its probe into the scandal surrounding the agency’s officials giving special scrutiny to right-wing groups while processing their tax-exempt claims, according to Rasmussen Reports.

A little more than one quarter of Americans, 28 percent, think the case should be closed, according to Rasmussen.

The Justice Department and three congressional committees have been investigating the matter for nearly a year. But Attorney General Eric Holder has dismissed calls from Republicans demanding a special counsel to investigate the IRS, which has denied that the targeting was politically motivated.

In the Obamanation Year of 2009, noted Democrat Intellectual, Ex-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, (also an award-winning Co-Author of the now transparently failed Affordable [sic] Healthcare Tax Law), set the Pelosi Federal Standard of Excellence with this now famous quote:

“We have to pass the Affordable [sic] Healthcare Bill to find out what is in it, - - - away from the fog of the controversy.”

Now, in the Obamanation year of 2014, “We, the People,” are being accused of looking for a smidgen of evidence, when only boneheaded decisions could possibly exist.

The same Noted Democrat Intellectual, Ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has even gone so far as to label this sort of Constitutional Checks and Balances as being “Political Theater.”

This is an obvious, transparent contradiction to the incisive legal logic that Pelosi used during her former Democrat zeal to ram through a single party mandatory tax on “We, the People” on Christmas Eve, 2009.

If “We, the People,” choose not to correct Ex-Speaker Pelosi’s latest accusatory, (and, as always undocumented), speech then few will remember what we here today have failed to do in this hour of peril in loyal Patriotic Opposition, (commonly called “PO’d”), to the evil, Oppressive, Marxist Regime of the now failed Community Organized as the Obamanation, moving forward.

When a noted Democrat Intellectual of the lofty stature of Democrat Ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, establishes such a high Standard of Federal Excellence, as brilliantly, and impeccably displayed in her above quote about the Affordable [sic] Healthcare Law, it becomes incumbent on “We, the People,” to fervently beseech our sorry Doormat Republicans to fairly apply that same Standard of Pelosi Federal Excellence to other matters of Federal involvement.

Besides, the Democrat’s own ‘Fairness Doctrine’ requires that this be so as follows: ‘ - - - be very strictly framed in all PC speeches, (as per the dictates of Obama Mentor, published Communist Saul Alinsky), regardless of ethnicity, Country of birth, race, creed, non-Democrat Party affiliation, disgust with politics, low level of voter information, non-subscriber to the New York Times, non- viewer to MSNBC TV, religion, non-religion, gender, or gender of choice.’

Then let us, the Oppressed “We, the People,” do hereby resolve, forthwith, to always enthusiastically be MOVING FORWARD with the Democrat Mandate of the Pelosi Federal Standard of Excellence because:

“WE HAVE TO INVESTIGATE THE IRS HARASSMENT OF VOTER GROUPS AND THE 12 MONTH LONG GEITNER-OBAMA-HOLDER-LERNER-BOEHNER COVERUP OF SAID VIOLATIONS TO FIND OUT WHAT IS IN IT, - - - AWAY FROM THE FOG OF THE OBAMA DENIALS.”

BTW, since B. Hussein Obama always dictates that he has “ordered” his crack AG Holder “To get to the bottom of this,” is that not just another Communist Saul Alinsky Method of deflecting any potentially punitive Investigation away from “Where the Buck Stops?”

If Obama is ever found to be the one where the buck actually stops, all he has to do is to promise that he, ALONE, “will make sure that it never happens again.”

FORWARD !

The IRS scandal is HUGE. It must be investigated and NEVER happen again. I’m sick of the crooks in government - like Obama who lies about everything and the media let’s him do it.

Agreed, 1Old Pro. That 28% who think it should be closed are the hardcore libtards who would follow Zero and 0bamunists over the tallest cliff on earth, just because...

Let’s get it all out in the open. Lerner ought to be in custody, already. And, Holder should be in prison.

There needs to be a Select Committee on the IRS crimes.

Isn't is remarkable just how powerful the communists black Muslim is? America is so screwed up even if we take the Senate and Presidency and hold the House it would take generations to clean it up. The first few years we are in total control nothing will seem to be corrected. Government is so damn slow it is almost useless. Prepare, you slaves, we are going to sweat for years.

By the way, miss Romney yet. Would have been better than King Obama. Still hard for the hard core haters to understand the lesser of the two evils.

Put me in the camp that for all his deficiencies Romney would have been much better than Obama - hands down. I'm very conservative but also know a 100% pure conservative with no flaws may never come down the road, so I will always vote for the opponent of a lib socialist, period.
