    Put it in a referendum, and considering the kind of people that win elections already, it just might pass.

    It is nothing compared to the power of the vote. Let's all remember that these politicians were elected. Kinda makes all the complaints sound a little silly, don't you think?

    Did you know that because Reagan cut federal funding of the insane asylums, there is a chance that Donald Trump might actually win enough votes to become President of the United States?

    Oh please... She hardly stands out from the crowd... Any indictment will have to tread very lightly to avoid bringing down the entire house of cards. An indictment will be met with a pardon, and the democrats will have to run their standby astronaut, Joe Biden, who can also cruise to a pretty easy victory while the republican crazy act remains in play.

  7. What "the buck stops here" means is that once the person knows about an issue they are responsible to deal with that issue in that they can not pass it on to someone else.

    Yes, so people should be careful who they vote for.

    but look, historically, at what's worked. the current "policies" aren't working, are they?

    Yes they are. "Radicalizing" (agitating) a bunch of Muslims is what defeated the Soviet Empire and freed Eastern Europe from its grip. Is it worth it? Totally depends on who you ask. Someone decided to bring a little of the war home. Expand the market, or it dies. We are witnessing some of the greatest propaganda to date, so slick and very color coordinated, that's extremely important. Russian uniforms are just so drab.

  13. oh yeah, it doesn't pay congress critters to stay in office, so it wont happen.

    Contrary to popular belief, congress critters need our votes to stay in office. Now, if you all keep reelecting them, all I can ask is WFT is wrong with you? If you want to change the rules, you have to elect people that will change them. Simple enough?

    I consider the Iraq/Afghanistan wars as criminal acts. Who takes the blame, Bush (Cheney), or the troops? And then why should giving the order be a crime if nobody follows? I can go either way with this, I'm easy.

    No, no excuses, I don't vote for the kinds of people that would hire them, so I don't care what she did or does. It is an issue the voters have to acknowledge and deal with themselves.

    I doubt she would have done this effort for a conservative administration.

    This here is a perfect example of the kind of bullshit that your regular partisan hacks spew out in their little internet rags or on the radio. I expected better from you :-)

    Your projection notwithstanding, just follow the money. I would expect you to know the routine by now, but you seem to be a little too hung up on this 'nuance' thing that you like to use when, uhhh, different people are involved.

    Considering all the serious things happening out there, and that the whole 501(3) scam is nothing but a tax evasion scheme to begin with, yeah, you're on a silly media bandwagon... By its very existence, the IRS is a scandal, since the beginning, and it is non partisan, they are simple bureaucrats (in a strong symbiosis with the FBI) doing what they are told, prohibition, Obamacare, property liens, whatever. Occasionally some of them get greedy, stupid, sloppy. There is not much to the story, other than confirming that unbridled authority leads to petty crime. It's all designed to fill the front page with fluff. Let's see some bodies

    The IRS is a lot of things. Partisan isn't one of them. At least not in the way you are trying to portray :-) They will faithfully execute the orders from 'the boss', no matter which faction. Yes, even your "Lois Lerner mess" is just a run of the mill, everyday part of the show. Your righteous indignation over this particular target has been duly noted, thank you for participating...

    That is the problem, intermittent combustion. You need something that burns steady, like a steam engine or even better, a Stirling turning a generator... You don't need a muffler, and the heat from the catalytic converter can actually be useful.
