In the discussion thread: Republicans basically admit that Harry Reid's maneuver was BRILLIANT [View all]

33. I agree

I don't know where the Democrats found their spines this time around but they need to keep it up.

Maybe they are FINALLY getting tired of being steamrolled and keeping their powder dry.

Whatever the reason, being on offense for a change feels great!

Rmoney's returns are probably completely legal. I'm sure the IRS has already examined them	riderinthestorm	Aug 2012	#41
What will the IRS do?	Javaman	Aug 2012	#50
Can the IRS do that? Publicly expose someone's taxes?	riderinthestorm	Aug 2012	#55

I'm not trying to be a dick but where's your evidence anyone would seek such a subpoena?	riderinthestorm	Aug 2012	#98
The DoJ would seek one in a fraud investigation.	jeff47	Aug 2012	#106
