Obongo promised to have the IRS audit his enemies. Rather he “joked” about it, similar to his sly giving of the finger to the Lizard Queen in one of their 2006 “debates” by scratching the side of his head with his middle digit. His supporters laughed. The news media denied it meant what it obviously did. So with the IRS.
Texas, of course, didn’t vote for him in ’06 or ’12, so we apparently qualify as his enemy. And he’s making good on his threat: “his” IRS fining the American Legion post #447 in Round Rock, just up the road from the rancho, $12,000 because they didn’t come up with privacy paperwork on their membership fast enough to suit the Gestapo.
We need to abolish the IRS now that it’s become a Democrat political tool.

THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Ach, IRS should be abolished for more reason than one. However, it will never be.
I’m not so cynical, or maybe I’m more cynical, because I don’t believe this can go on much longer. Pols are always looking for a new angle and some of them, like Ted Cruz, will use resolving this issue to get ahead.
Do you think Cruz has a prayer of being nominated by the old bulls in the GOP? I don’t.
And if by some miracle it should happen, it will be a struggle to overcome all the dead voting to get him elected.
The dead Democrat voting would hurt, for sure, along with the dominant Democrat news media pummeling him day after day. Same as they did to Sarah Palin.
But the old bulls don’t control the nomination anymore. The smoke-filled rooms where the cigar-chomping bosses decided in secret are long gone. Romney, McCain, and all the others in recent years, were nominated by primary voters giving them more votes than their opponents. These days the primary voters rule. There are ways to mickey that, of course, but as far as I can tell it’s pretty clean, at least on the Republican side.
I believe the Republicans do enough mickeying of their own, otherwise we wouldn’t end up with McCain & Romney. The voters ended up voting for the ones that were on the ballot, a corollary to Stalin: “It doesn’t matter who votes. What metters is who counts the votes.” It also matters who places whom on the ballot, and how. That is aided & abetted by the MSM, who do their own machinations about steering the best Republican candidates onto a ballot so that they can be defeated (Sharron Angle in Nevada stands out).
Of course, it would help if the Republicans had a better slate of contenders.
I, for one, think they will never elect a white man president again, nor will the Dems even try to. It’s women and minorities all the way down (as Pratchett said of turtles) because it insures lasting media genuflection, with which a president can do anything, legal or illegal. As we are seeing with Obozo.
It’s no guarantee for the Reps, of course. The media savaged Palin and probably would Cruz or Rubio or Jindal also. But even for the Reps it’s the last best option.
