Showing Original Post only (View all)Democrats need to wake the hell up. These are manufactured GOP scandals based on lies. [View all]
Benghazi- faked talking points over nothing that needed to be hidden. The country is yawning and knows this is all about politics.IRS- where there is smoke there is fire. There are Tea Party groups abusing the 501-C rules. If 100 GOP groups are abusing the rules, are they supposed to look at Democrats to make everything "look" fair I'm not seeing where any laws were broken in this matter.
AP Phone Line Tapping- GOP has real balls to complain about this, considering it was George W. Bush who put all of this Patriot Act nonsense into place. Should the FBI have ignored references to Al Qaeda and National Security even at news organizations like the AP?
This is being used to smear Obama, Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder. The GOP has had a hard-on for all of them for a while. Democrats should stop acting like they have cotton balls and call these assholes out for their purposeful destruction of everything decent in this country.
I would be laughing if this wasn't so hypocritical and serious.
