The Fat Man is in trouble (Chris Christie)

Hmm, has anyone seen Bridget Kelly recently?

You cannot selectively go after entire groups of people & ignore the misdeeds of other groups

Again, the police do this ALL THE TIME. Again, they have been doing it that way for THOUSANDS of years. Again, do you know what planet you're on? Do you actually believe the police must infiltrate all criminal gangs equally, rather than focus on a single gang?


The police are given broad leeway in their enforcement techniques, because strict rules would eliminate talent and creativity from the law enforcement process. Without talent and creativity on the enforcement side, it would only be exercised by their adversaries.

Looks like the audit into Gov. Christie's decision to spend $4.7M in federal disaster aid on ads featuring himself and his family during last year's campaign is going to have a LOT of stuff to consider.

According to the unsuccessful bidder, who's $2.5M bid was barely half as big as the bidder who was selected, it was state officials who suggested that the ads feature the Christie family.



Additionally, the Christie Administration has been hiding how it selected the much-higher bid from a GOP-connected ad agency rather than the lower bid from the non-political agency, and this is really starting to stink, even by New Jersey standards.

It is illegal for the president (yes, small "p" in the case Obama) to use any government agency to intimidate anyone for political reasons. It wasn't about people committing crimes. It was all about silencing political opposition. Your deflections to different matters suggest that profiling is acceptable at pretty much every level of law enforcement. I didn't think libs supported profiling. ...and the Hiroshima reference...looks like you believe the president (again, small "p") is engaged in a justifiable declared war against American people that he considers to be his mortal enemies.

If you think Occupy is a political ally of Obama, you haven't followed much of what those anarchists have been doing or saying. They are not his friends. He knows it.

Isn't this something we can all agree on?

The people at the IRS were merely doing their jobs. You are the one deflecting. If you don't like the WAY they do their jobs, you, as a citizen, have various recourse. Most IRS forms are submitted under penalty of perjury. Perjury is a crime, and the IRS has discretion in investigating and prosecuting potential offenders. It's a simple concept, really. Some folks succeed at perjury, some don't.

And of course it is lawful for the IRS to "profile." Only the weak and the stupid believe that the outcome of one investigation or prosecution need reflect the outcome of another. Due process allows those outcomes to be challenged, in many cases. However there is no guarantee that the outcomes be uniform, only that the statutes, and the Bill of Rights, be obeyed. (But even those standards are open to interpretation.)

Your vision of govt. is utopian, or possibly distopian. The Federal system was intentionally designed to provide wide latitude at every level of govt., consistent with the intended outcome stated in the Preamble to the Constitution. Some would argue that such is the essence of democracy. I suggest you start your education in such matters with "The Federalist Papers."

Oh that's a new one. Besides, groups with "Progressive" in their names were targeted. More Obama enemies according to you? And the Republicans and Fox never seem to mention the "occupy" or "progressive" targeting, do they.

You're too young to have been one of those shouting the fluoride is a commie plot. Born too late I guess.

She's blonde, attractive, and amoral. I see Fox News in her future.
