    Tapping the AP may not have been a good idea. Those reporters may get pissed and start asking serious questions. Of flood the news with stories that have yet to surface.

    Don't try to defend the indefensible MM. This plus the AP scandal and so many others show the Obama administration's lack of respect for the rule of law. It is more corrupt than any administration since Nixon.

    Thats bullshit, im not defending anything, when you prove that Obama ordered this, then come back to me. Until then enjoy your tin foil hat.
    I think you have you administration confused. Of course you meant the last administration, torture memo, secret expansion of fisa, patriot act.
    Get off of your white horse.
    The IRS is an independent agency.

    You don't have a clue sport! The IRS is part of the Treasury dept. The head of the IRS who lied to Congress is a direct report to the Sec Treasury and once removed from BHO.It isn't close to being independent! Likewise the Justice Dept that siezed the AP tele records is run by the Atty General who is BHO's ass hole buddy Eric Holder. Old Eric has a history of disregarding the law for his own or Barry's interests. This ALL falls to the President whether he ordered specific acts or not. He sets the tone and is responsibile for the acts of his employees. Don't you remember the saying "The buck stops here"? Another D pres said it and meant it it should apply to Barry as much as you like to hit W with it.
    As far as the actions you mention in W's admin, Barry has endorsed them all and expanded on them time and time again.
    Quit looking at this admin through rose colored glasses and recognize it for what it is a corrupt confused and leaderless group of Chicago pols who are out of their depth.

    great, maybe you just hate the guy.
    You dont have clue. The IRS is an independent agency. Im not looking at anything with Rose colored glasses. As I said, I believe any political group seeking non profit status should be rejected. Im sorry you cant understand that reasoning.
    The cause of these groups getting this status was Citizens United. If I write a check to a conservative or liberal group engaged in political activity buying ads and the such, no way should they be able to be tax exempt. That was my initial argument. You saw something more out of it, thats on you not me.
    The DOJ seizes telephone records of many people and has for years, whats your point.

    It's no secret that I have been a supporter of the President's, even though at times I disagree with him. That said, this President, nor any President, should be above the law. That also goes for his cabinet members and right on down. I seriously doubt that there will be any findings that directly incriminate the President. But whomever is found to be culpable needs to be prosecuted. It's high time that we insist our politicians adhere to the same laws that we live by, Republican or Democrat.

    As I have openly stated, I do not believe that Benghazi is a real issue....it's political.

    The IRS targeting of conservative groups troubles me.

    The DOJ stealing phone records from the AP absolutely scares the shit out of me.

    This has to stop.
