I think the reason the establishment GOP doesn’t hammer the IRS is because they were denying Tea Party groups their tax exempt status and the GOPe wants to also destroy these grassroots groups.

How do I know? THEY TOLD US!

Absolutely correct — that's one thing these you have to vote Republican!-people can't explain: why should I vote for someone who is out to destroy me?
Their refusal to touch things like the IRS or NSA, even though these are clearly winning issues, indicates to me just how much they want those structures.
