We will see how much you like it when the full weight of the overbearing federal government, that Obama has created, comes down on your sorry ass.
Posts like this being actually applied in Politics is why the moderates and America are getting screwed over.

Example, in NC, the GOP finally has control over the legislature after decades from the Democrats. What to they do? Do all of the shady things the Dems did to the next level.... Their excuse? Either "well the Democrats did it..."

And what happens when the Dems come back? THey will just revert it again to the "next level."

If America stoops to "revenge politics" like it has for the last two decades, then we are done in the long run. Literally, we are becoming non-functional from the Federal side down to the State side.

Lol... listen to yourself. Nixon is not as bad as Obama. Really? If you actually believe that, then you don't deserve to vote.

We were done the instant anti-American Democrats elected the fascist FDR. All that remains is to seek revenge.

I voted for Nixon, and he was a FAR better President than the Affirmative Action Community Organizer that currently occupies the White House could ever hope to be.

Sure, there should be a full investigation, but it has already been established that this practice of targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny has occurred, that IRS leadership knew about it, and that one time IRS Commissioner Shulman told Congress something to the contrary. Not sure what else you want to establish before you think this warrants additional action.
You somehow know they were targeting conservative groups exclusively? You don't want all the facts or something? I certainly don't know that, but if it turns out to be true, heads should roll.

Nixon personally ordered a break-in of his political opponents for personal gain. Nixon wiretapped reporters for political gain. Nixon used the IRS as a tool to hurt his opposition.

There is no evidence Obama had any knowledge of the IRS issue nor the gaining access to AP phone records, which were not wiretaps. In any case, none of those were for political gain.

The comparison is a non-equality.

This was a stupid low level decision. What they should have done is make a list of the top 1,000 fortunes, income and largest corporations and send the auditors to have fun with them.

It has been established the practice was occurring, they also targeted groups supporting Israel. This is all a matter of record. It has been established that the IRS stepped in it. It has been established that they denied doing so. How much more to need to know before you think that action in the form of full scale government investigations are warranted?

When your level of interest is guided by only your ideology, things get muddled. This is exactly why we have a system of checks and balances. If it were up to those sharing your views, this would drag on with no action and those guilty would retire before an investigation was ever begun.

I doubt that the Jewish groups were conservative so it would likely be more accurate to note that groups that ran counter to the ideas of the president were targeted be it conservative or not.

It's amusing how deeply irrational your hatred of Obama is. If Hitler is a 10, and Jesus is 1 -- where do you rank Obama?
