My feelings about the IRS "scandal"

If the IRS broke the law then charge the guilty persons and be done with it. I have no love for the IRS and I won't defend them. I believe they should be investigated, however, what I am truly appalled by is the behavior of the Republicans. They are supposed to be statesmen but they act like spoiled children, plus being exceptionally rude and very uncivil in their behavior. They are an embarrassment to our nation. I wonder why no media have taken it upon themselves to mention this. Their behavior is not normal, at least it has never been in the past. I wonder why Republicans wish to coarsen America so much? It is not healthy.

The only ones that broke the law are those organizations that fraudently claimed on their applications that they were primarily charity organizations and were instead nothing more than political organizations. That goes for both sides of the political spectrum. These people are getting after the IRS when we have citizens that could easily be charged for fraud. Read the damn tax codes. This crap is pissing me off.

Plus, bending over for the Republicans keeps their corporate paychecks signed.
