Actually, you insist on them not being a big deal. If it were a Republican administration Joe, you would be cheering and wailing. "Off with their heads!" Meanwhile legislation gets blocked by Harry Reid, problems keep cropping up due to Obama's own incompetence, but man, it's always Bush's fault. Because everyone loves government.
Uh, guy, up until 2008, I was one of the guys making sorry ass excuses for the Republicans. And frankly, doing a better job than you do. Then I realized that I wasn't rich and Republicans didn't care if I lived or died.
I'm an old man, as you are fond of pointing out. And frankly, I've seen 10 presidents and dozens of "Scandals". Remember "Korea-Gate"? I do. And there were people who insisted it was going to bring down President Ford.
It didnt'.
Now to your claim-
Because everyone loves government
No, everyone loves the part of government that benefits them. they don't like the part that benefits the other guy and no one likes paying for it. Which is why the IRS is so hated.
Here's why I don't get upset about this "Scandal".
This is about a bunch of groups who intended to do politics using a tax exemption to hide where their money was coming from.
And the IRS knew that was exactly what they were up to.
And they singled those guys out. If you had a name that didn't sound anything like you were interested in anyone's social welfare, you probably weren't a social welfare agency.
"OH, wait,t hat's unfair. Why didn't you single out everyone".
Same reason the TSA gives more scrutiny to a guy name "Abdul" when looking for terrorists trying to board planes.
