There was a running joke in the fall of 2008 that John McCain should simply re-air Hillary Clintons 3 a.m. phone call ad, which highlighted Barack Obamas lack of experience and meager knowledge of world affairs, and just tack on Im John McCain, and I approve this message at the end of the ad. The point was that thanks to the bitter primary battle between the Clintons and Obama, Democrats had already developed the most effective lines of attack against Obama, and Republicans needed only to nod their heads in agreement.
Something similar is taking place amid the several Obama administration scandals that have surfaced almost simultaneously. (There has been new information on Benghazi, but the issue itself isnt new; the IRS and AP phone records scandals, in contrast, hit less than a week apart.) Both Democrats and Republicans are raising the prospect that the GOP could get carried away or bungle their response to the scandalssurely a possibility. One way to prevent that, however, would be to simply echo the way Obamas supporters have tried to defend him.
As I wrote on Monday, one clear lesson from this is the danger of ever-expanding, unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy at the center of an increasingly powerful central government. That also happens to be the crux of President Obamas governing strategy. Indeed, the IRSs reach and power is expanded as part of ObamaCareitself an expansion of government along demonstrably failed strategic lines. So its no surprise that after the IRS systematically targeted conservative and pro-Israel groups in order to eviscerate the First Amendment rights of those who disagreed with President Obama (and at the direction of high-ranking elected Democrats), the IRS official responsible for overseeing tax-exempt groups has since been moved over to run the IRS office responsible for ObamaCare.....

“...Hes Not Corrupt, Just Dishonest...”
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE????

Perfectly valid reasons for impeachment and removal.
After his NON testimony I would subpoena every email and all records from the entire IRS and all communications to the Whitehouse. After his lying I would swear in anybody who testifies. If this is their game plan I would get real ugly with them.
It is indeed frequently a publisher of ‘neocon’ pieces, meaning a an assertive foreign policy. I’ve not seen much conservatism in Commentary on domestic or social issues.

It’s a wonderful thing you’ve noticed that, Seth. That means you’ve finally caught up with the rest of us who noticed the trend 30 years ago and have been sounding the warning bell.
Welcome to the club, buddy.
I was under the impression that dishonesty was a component of corruption. Did the rules change?
Soon...heads meet pikes?
Keeping busy. Too busy. I hope you too are well.
When I am 200 years old if God gives me that many troublesome years] I will not understand why the GOP in the Senate allowed this shady character to become the chief law-enforcement officer in the land... Does anyone remember the Clinton pardons in the last few weeks of his 2nd administration? Holder vetted them all and Clinton received millions of dollars [& Holder?]... HELLO!
Might as well have been Terry McAuliffe for AG, who only supposedly laundered Teamster pension money to make himself a millionaire... Now he is running for the U.S. Senate from Virginia!!!
