It must be tough being a member of the gop, these days ...

[1StrongBlackMan]

On the one hand, their propanganda arm tells them they should be freaking out about the IRS "scandal" ... but this "scandal" is far more energizing for the tea-party folks, meaning more tea-party folks showing up at gop events, asking insane questions, forcing them to respond with equally insane statement - lest they be called rinos and subjecting them to primaries.

On the other hand, this IRS "scandal", if investigated, will likely to entangle some big-time gop money ... yeah, I'm looking at you Rove and Koch!

But the non-tea-party gop can't call, or appear to call, for no investigations, lest they go against their propanga arm for not freaking out about the IRS "scandal."

What to do? What to do?

1. That is so perceptive.

2. They have most certainly stepped in a pile

w/ this and the 2 other fake scandals. I can't help wondering if they got "set up."

3. I love it when wingers of any kind create a hell for themselves

Hope they'll cancel each other out and give us an in.

4. O What a tangled web we weave...

They are in a bind, aren't they?

[1StrongBlackMan]

6. Maybe ...

This explains the former Bushie (known to be independent) FBIer pick?!? And, who would the gop have run point on any investigation ... the former Bushie FBI or Holder?

5. They sure stepped in it

Almost a Rovian type of maneuver?

There is a saying that in politics everything happens for a reason.

7. I think Rove ...

was behind this IRS thing in order to screw the tea-party and hoping that ... get this ... that a government agency, that he spent a career proclaiming government agencies' incompetency, could keep a secret!

[RobertEarl]

8. Heh. Could very well be

And that once Obama figured that Rove was back in the game, he'd play him.

This could very well be a setup that Rove gets his due? Rove has played the IRS tax-free game to his advantage. Obama knows that. Republicans know it.

And maybe now the sheeple will come to know it, too? GObama.

9. Especially since the clock is still running and time's running out

Demographic trends are their worst enemy.

10. LOL, just these days?

The whole shabang is one big clown show. If I didn't know better, I'd say they are trying to take a nose dive!

The whole "Scandal" will prove to do more harm than good for them.
