Republicans Admit Mistake - No Scandal Here! Just Opportunism and Extremism

Maybe if Republicans spent more time conducting business and less time attempting to create scandals, they might actually accomplish something for Americans....we know that's not what they want. Silly me!

And what better day to admit your mistake then on a Friday afternoon of a holiday weekend? It's a bit like burying your correction on page 15 of the front section.--Dave.

GOP Lawmakers Say IRS Scrutiny Likely Not Politically Motivated

A pair of Republican lawmakers told The New York Times in a story published Thursday that the Internal Revenue Service scandal that rocked the agency may not have been politically motivated as previously thought.



Rep. Charles Boustany Jr. (R-LA) said that Republicans still "haven't proved political motivation" behind the agency's scrutiny.

Meanwhile, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) told the newspaper that, in hindsight, it seems unlikely that President Barack Obama used the IRS to go after his political enemies.

“Presidents have always been very careful about maintaining the appearance of keeping hands off the I.R.S.,” Blunt said. “I don’t have any reason to believe there wasn’t targeting of conservatives, but it might well have been a lot more than that as well.”
