Why Is The GOP Wheeling & Dealing With New IRS Regulations?
The IRS has been holding up decisions on conservative non-profits due to political agendas, it’s a fact. So to get around the existing rules Democrats made new ones. Nothing is set in stone and the new regs have not been voted on yet the GOP is arm wrestling with Harry Reid over Ukraine funding using these same new IRS rules. This is incredulous. How does freedom of speech protected by the constitution get tangled up in Ukraine aid? And how exactly is it possible that these new IRS regulations are going forward without so much as a squeak from Republicans.
Looks like the new IRS regulations are now a bargaining chip before they are even debated, which basically makes them a defacto done deal, amazing. Democrats have pulled the wool over the GOP again and they don’t even realize it. How pathetic.
One additional problem with the reform package is that in order to offset the costs, the Senate bill takes money away from the US Army and Navy. House Republicans meanwhile want to do something useful…use this bill or a separate one to tie the IMF money to a one year delay in the anti-free speech regulations Obama’s IRS is currently set to enact.
Only 17 GOP Senators stood up yesterday and opposed Harry Reid’s effort to reduce America’s influence at the IMF and to preserve the House’s leverage to block the Obama IRS regulations.
The more I see from the current batch of Republicans the more I realize it’s time for a third party. I swear they are out thinking the room, and thus, over thinking the issues.

Jeff, you’re making the mistake of thinking that the republicans care about solving those issues. All they’re really worried about is getting re-elected. They could care less what happens to this country.
Just like the democrats…
Tim – This is becoming more apparent everyday. There are no political parties, just re-election committees.
The mainstream GOP, as opposed to the Tea Party GOP, is showing itself to be nothing more than the right-wing branch of the Democrats. I am a registered Republican and have been since I was old enough to vote (I am 78). As things are in Washington, DC, where, by the way, common sense goes to die, I want absolutely nothing to do with the mainstream Republicans, especially as long as John Boehner is Speaker. In the next week or so, I am going to the county election offices and reregister as an Independent.
Scottie – Makes it hard to back these guys. Every time you turn around they do something that a democrat would do and your left just shaking your head wondering what happened.
It’s good to be da King!
Odie – They sure seem to act like they have all the power.
