Seems the American people are starting to lose faith in Obama and Eric Holder. Both his approval and trustworthiness has fallen in the last month. The scandal libtards though would go away keeps getting bigger and bigger. They have no idea how to handle a rabid media.

American voters say 76 - 17 percent, including 63 - 30 percent among Democrats, that a special prosecutor should be appointed to investigate charges the Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative groups, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.

President Barack Obama gets a negative 45 - 49 percent job approval rating, compared to 48 - 45 percent positive in a May 1 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University, conducted before the IRS allegations surfaced.

The president's biggest drop is among independent voters, who give him a negative 37 - 57 percent score, compared to a negative 42 - 48 percent May 1. He gets a negative 9 - 86 percent from Republicans and a positive 87 - 8 percent from Democrats, both virtually unchanged. Women approve 49 - 45 percent while men give a negative 40 - 54 percent score.

Americans are divided 49 - 47 percent on whether Obama is honest and trustworthy, down from 58 - 37 percent, the last time Quinnipiac University asked the question September 1, 2011.

Support for an independent prosecutor to probe the IRS issue is 88 - 6 percent among Republicans and 78 - 17 percent among independent voters, 78 - 17 percent among men and 74 - 18 percent among women.

Actually didn't unemployment claims go up?
like i care, i'm just here to make sport of you.

for example, i could have gone a different direction with this thread.

i was originally thinking of making some remark along the lines of "oh, now you suddenly care about what an overwhelming majority of americans want. where were you during the gun control debate?"

anyhoo, i could make sport of your hypocrisy and contradictions all night long, but greese traps wait for no one.

The same can said about you on how Americans think about amnesty and abortions. You're making an ass out of yourself Bucky. Gun bans aren't going to happen so suck it up cupcake.

[h=2]The IRS Targeted Pot Activism Groups[/h]BY MARY JANE GIBSON · WED MAY 29, 2013


The IRS is in hot water over recent revelations that it cherry-picked organizations it perceived to be critical of the government for tax scrutiny. Groups with the words “tea party” and “patriot” in their materials have received increased attention. But it turns out that nonprofits working to overturn the feds’ anti-pot policies also got IRS magnifying glass.
Marijuana policy groups have been subjected to grueling audits and forced to battle for tax-exempt status. One group, the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), was audited not once, but twice, in 2000 and again in 2006. On both occasions, the IRS determined that MPP was in full compliance with federal tax code and given a clean bill of health. Another pot policy project, Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER), spent several months fighting for their tax-exempt nonprofit status. In a letter from the IRS, SAFER was accused of organizing "festivals and protests that are not always peaceful.” The IRS provided printouts of online news stories in which commenters mentioned smoking pot, and web pages about completely peaceful cannabis festivals and events. But none of the cited events were organized by SAFER.
The Washington Post published documents from a briefing IRS staffers held with senior IRS official Lois G. Lerner, during which they described giving special attention to instances where “statements in the case file criticize how the country is being run.” The agency also decided to target “organizations involved in… social economic reform movement,” according to a report that leaked in May.
These revelations are beyond troubling. The persecution of policy reform organizations is not only unethical and unconstitutional – it violates every notion of what it means to be an American. Now that the IRS’s shady ways have been exposed, maybe the issue of genuine national tax reform can be addressed.

Yes they will after they pry the guns out of our dead hands. Or at least those who don't believe all the False Flag hype. But what does amnesty have to do with abortions unless if we had more abortions we would have plenty of room here to give amnesty? That would be chill :bigjoint:

What sort of excellent economic news just came out? People's homes must be worth more. More bread and circuses for the peons! Is that about right, Buck?

We can say, on one hand the worm is turning....the People are getting restless. But, this is the usual doom of the 5th year President.

"Please Sirs, may we have another???!!!" 2016 2014 2016!

In the USA, it is unique in the the People not the govt, appoint a special prosecutor and/or Select Committees. It is how WE get to the bottom of things.

Folks say WhiteWater went nowhere. Tiz true. And is Ken Starr an idiot? Yes.

But, remember, people went to jail for Whitewater. In that case it was crony McDougals sitting in jail to protect the President. They would not testify.

If IRS, what's her name plead the 5th, wants to sit in jail and not testify, I love that spectacle.

No Royalists.
