Where, I suppose, it was once that those of us who attempted to point out that the Democrat Party is really nothing more than a cesspool of corruption were typically scoffed at and told to prove it, lately as each day passes by we’re now finding out just ‘how’ corrupt they really are. And we’re also finding out who some of the more prominent players are in that ongoing corruption. We now know that more than a year before the recent revelation by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that it had targeted conservative and Tea Party organizations, a group of scumbag Democrat senators, headed up by none other than Little Chuckie Schumer, actually requested that the agency to do that very thing. That little bit of news comes to us from the Daily Caller.
Little Chuckie, along with his merry band of Democrat misfits Michael Bennet, Sheldon Whitehouse, Jeff Merkley, Tom Udall, Jeanne Shaheen and, of all people, Al Franken, contacted the IRS last year and requested that the agency cap the amount of political spending by groups presenting themselves as "social welfare organizations." This cadre of shysters told a series of whoppers in their claim that gray areas in the IRS rules had created a loophole allowing political groups to improperly claim 501(c)4 status and may even be permitting people who donate to these groups to wrongly claim tax deductions for their contributions. The senators said they would present legislation to rectify these problems if the IRS did not act to fix them first.
In a press release from Little Chuckie’s office dated March 12, 2012, the senators wrote: "We urge the IRS to take these steps immediately to prevent abuse of the tax code by political groups focused on federal election activities." This idiotic statement went on to say, "But if the IRS is unable to issue administrative guidance in this area then we plan to introduce legislation to accomplish these important changes." You know, this really all goes back to the Supreme Court and the Citizens United decision, and the fact that it so pissed off Democrats. They have been determined to find a ‘work around’ ever since, it’s just that the one they landed on ain’t quite legal. But then, since when has something not being legal ever stopped Democrats from doing it?
A number of those senators held in a press conference regarding their efforts on March 21, 2012, and Al ‘Stuart Smalley’ Franken addressed what he called lack of oversight of 501(c)(4) status. Franken said, "I think that there hasn’t been enforcement by the FEC and the IRS, and so there are entities that are taking a 501(c)4 status, and under that they’re supposed to have more than half of their activity be non-political." He went on, "That’s pretty hinky. I mean, they really aren’t doing that, and that I think there needs to be a look at that, that even under the laws that already exist, there are people who should be disclosing who aren’t." Finally adding, "And I think that is where we’re seeing the effect of, lack of effective enforcement and just oversight."
My question is, why are these sleaze-bags at least being brought up on some sort of ethics charges? Oh, that’s right, they’re all DEMOCRATS so all of this is really nothing more than just a big misunderstanding. Personally I’d like to see every one of these creeps being marched off to a federal prison somewhere, but I know that’s not going to be happening. I mean, come on, can anyone possibly imagine the outcry, he demands for justice, if this had been a group of Republicans, headed up by say John Thune, and who had asked the IRS to go after leftwing groups. Why you would have been made to think that the entire Republic would be on he verge of collapse. But because it’s Democrats it’ll all be quite neatly swept under the rug.
