Nixons approval ratings were in the 20's when he was forced out.No President with job approval ratings high enough to get re elected will be forced out imo.Bush approval ratings did hit the 20's but it was at the end of of term

Do I detect an air of desperation? This could drag on into next year.
And is nowhere near the "John Dean" stage, if things continue downhill. I will agree with you on one matter........US is far more corrupt today than it was in the 1970's, so it won't be as easy to get rid of these criminals as in years past.

Only way these tyrants will leave America in 2013 will be by force.

Quote from denner:

BA continually reminds me of "Mr Bill". Every few weeks he attempts a "reset" by claiming that he is something of a centrist...and then we see him defend every liberal talking point in the book.

You're full of shit, as most far righties you are blinded by your hate of our president and all you disagree with your point of view and ideas.

This is the kind of argument only a retard could make, so you actually think because the NAACP was audited in 2004 under Bush, that somehow compares to the IRS systematically targeting 1 conservative group after another for an audit under obama?

You are trying to claim bush's IRS was biased when the only evidence you have is that 1 left wing organisation happened to be audited, im willing to go out on a limb here, and say that atleast 1 conservative also got audited under bush. I suppose, in your eyes, Bush should have abstained from auditing ANY left wing organisations while in office.

Grow up.

Quote from AK Forty Seven:




IRS targeted NAACP in 2004


This isn't the first time the IRS has been in hot water for meddling in the politics of nonprofits. And if past is prelude, the Obama administration may have a years-long scandal on its hands.

In 2004, the NAACP was hit with an audit over accusations of improper political activity for criticizing the Bush administration.

"We have received information that during your 2004 convention in Philadelphia, your organization distributed statements in opposition of George W. Bush for the office of presidency," the IRS wrote in an audit notice that the group released to the media at the time.

Auditors also notified the group that it could be subject to a 10 percent tax for political expenditures as well as a 2.5 percent tax on any manager that signed off on the political activity.

The NAACP went public and sparked a now-familiar firestorm. Democrats in Congress were up in arms and called for answers about what constitutes political activity and questioning the political motivations of the agency.

Rep. Charles Rangel, the top Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee at the time, called the audit a police state tactic. Max Baucus, then the ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, sent a letter to then-IRS Commissioner Mark Everson demanding answers to a list of questions about other similar audits.

“The integrity of our tax enforcement system is a critical matter,” Baucus wrote at the time. “The American public expects a high degree of non-partisanship and professionalism from the IRS."

The agency denied a culture of bias. They said the audit was triggered by staffers in a satellite office, this time in Kentucky.

It took more than two years and a lengthy legal battle for the IRS to drop its case against the NAACP. That was all well before the Supreme Court unleashed a flood of political groups into the IRS pool with its Citizens United decision.

“It caught the IRS completely flatfooted,” Lloyd Mayer, one of the attorneys that represented the NAACP in the case, told POLITICO on Monday. “They had never even thought of the possibility that one of their audit targets would go public and accuse the agency of bias.”










Terrorists killed more then 2800 Americans on Bushes watch then Obamas watch and Bush lies to start an illegal war is far worse then any lies Obama told and he wasn't impeached

How do you know they were conservative groups, because they put "tea party" in their name? Lot of liars out there (particularly on your "this campaign will not be dictated to by fact checkers" team). If they are indeed political, there are laws governing how much politicking they can do and get/retain tax exempt status. So, if you want to form a political group, and get tax exempt status, prepare to be examined.

It is not hate, at least not from myself. But I do despise corrupt people. This President is a corrupt individual. I guess that is fine with you and the rest, huh? You are blinded by your bias, the very thing you accuse conservatives of. And don't bring up any of his predecessors, as that has not got a damn thing to do with his term in office.

Might be one of the dumber questions I have ever seen posted on this site.

You are trying to argue against something that has already been established by the IRS, they already admit they intentionally targeted right wing groups.
