Democrats are falling back on the "Idiot Defense".They deny republican accusations that they are liars, evil and corrupt.

No one can deny that Barack Obama is a highly skilled politician, at least by the measure of election outcomes. His record is undefeated, save for an ill-advised 2000 primary challenge to an entrenched incumbent congressman. His 2008 presidential victory, after a fraction of a term in the U.S. Senate, was especially dazzling. It disproved those who said that Hillary Clinton was invincible, that a left-wing Democrat couldn't win, and that America wasn't ready for a black president.
No one can deny that Lance Armstrong and Mark McGwire were highly skilled athletes. But their accomplishments are forever tainted by their use of banned performance-enhancing drugs. The use of the Internal Revenue Service's coercive power to suppress dissent against Obama is the political equivalent of steroids. The history books should record Obama's re-election with an asterisk to indicate that it was achieved with the help of illicit means.
The Weekly Standard notes that the NBC's Lisa Myers "reported this morning that the IRS deliberately chose not to reveal that it had wrongly targeted conservative groups until after the 2012 presidential election":
The IRS commissioner "has known for at least a year that this was going on," said Myers, "and that this had happened. And did he share any of that information with the White House? But even more importantly, Congress is going to ask him, why did you mislead us for an entire year? Members of Congress were saying conservatives are being targeted. What's going on here? The IRS denied it. Then when--after these officials are briefed by the [inspector general] that this is going on, they don't disclose it. In fact, the commissioner sent a letter to Congress in September on this subject and did not reveal this.....

Constitutional crisis.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That means theft, deception, and out and out lies!
Skill No. Inept Press, Peers, and Voters. Yes!
Benghazi is like unto (the original) 9/11 ... The IRS scandal is like unto Watergate .. (etc.)
How about Benghazi IS derelection of duty and murder ... The IRS scandal IS illegal and unConstitutional.

Just how highly skilled do you have to be to benefit from:
the press giving you a pass
the republican party self-destructing
the scandals that are right there in front of everyone's noses going unaddressed
the media playing house with him, and not reporting anything negative
nobody addressing election fraud or actually taking it seriously
nobody taking his history seriously
nobody listening (if it's anti-Obama, it has to be propaganda, dismiss it)
anything they can't dismiss, is attributed to racism
the opposition candidate actually endorses you...
I'm convinced we could go on for hours...
Like Hitler and Stalin were highly skilled politicians.
They have to remind folks that the Republican are every bit as bad as Democrats, despite the fact the Republicans have never gotten away with the kinds of things Obama and his crew have.
Nice...
Good Points, FRiend.
I seem to remember Valerie Jarrett stating that the libtards had “two judges ready to go”.
Well, no retirement signs yet. Perhaps even the liberal judges are starting to think this guy is too crooked to be given another appointment opportunity.
Whatever happens, impeachment or not. Obama is finished. He is a LAME DUCK. In fact, he’s a duck with both legs broken.
>>Like Hitler and Stalin were highly skilled politicians.<<
But Hugo Chavez gave obozo the playbook.
The best response that any Republican could give is......okay so according to Democrats these are the new rules and it is all A-OK. Well remember that when there is a Republican president again. There may even be some rules that are okay for the Republican House to break now.
Then listen to them howl.

And these same union thugs are scheduled to run the entire healthcare system in the United States. Are we to believe the fool republicants couldn't see this train wreck, this salughter of sovereignty coming?
Please, explain for me, somone, how it is that the republicants couldn't know a union was going to be the master of all health files of every American?
This is not leadership nor even opposition to the thuggery. This would be proisecuted as complicity in criminal behavior if it were dropped into a court case! And now, even with all the criminality of democrip union thugs running the IRS from top to bottom, these same republicants cannot muster enough courage to sending a few of these thugs to prison because the media might call them bullies?
*holding my nose* Whew, I think we have an answer for the founder who told that woman they had given US a Republic, if we could keep it. The treachery of blackmailable elected republicant slugs encourages the criminality of the democrips.
A supremely apt comparison.
His method is to pass draconian laws, rules and regulations then curry favor by exempting select elements. Simply put Extortion.
You nailed it!
I’m so sick of the idea this guy is smart or gifted.
He’s a moron that has been gifted his present position.
He had the right color skin, and hated the nation enough to get the Democrat endorsement.
