IRS knowingly targets "tea party" groups

[Darkhorse]

Oh and the treasury report says 58% of requests for additional information were unnecessary and 31% of the groups selected for scrutiny showed no evidence of major campaign activity. So much for efficiency. These groups were then slow tracked, most sat for 13 months without being worked on, and these cases took 574 days on average to be completed. So even though they stopped targeting conservative groups, the ones that targeted previous were still being f**k over. All this while the 2012 presidential race was in full swing!

The resignations begin.

Acting director of the IRS is gone.

I thought I'd recalled someone on here saying that while they were scrutinized, no conservative group had been actually blocked from being approved. Me thinks this proves differently. NO tea party or 9/12 groups were approved in the entire year of 2011.

Let the lame duck session begin.

Still, the TPP is the single largest achievement of a President in geopolitics that's forward looking that I've ever seen in my lifetime. Obama's foreign policy has been strategic to an amazing degree.

I'm not seeing a lot of liberal approval for this. No point in alienating those that see eye to eye on this. There are the normal amount of apologists, but that's not going away any time soon.
