So I have long mocked the Cons for trying to make Obama scandals where there are none. Now, you may have one or two, but you can't have them all... so, lets pick one. Which of the current scandals has the most traction (will damage Obama's reputation the most)? Is it also the one that offends you the most?
How can any American citizen be okay with what they did?
You forgot Fast and Furious.
. . . you can't have them all. . .
No, i did not forget Fast and Furious. Given that most people have, I gave it the attention it was due. Feel free to argue it under the "other."
Now, Fast and Furious may bother you the most, but its hard to argue it as an egregious scandal as it lacked the traction to make to "scandal" level. It is history.
As a matter of fact, we can.
Compete? It's more likely these will all just fall under a broader narrative concerning trust in government. I wouldn't worry about not having enough "media cycles" - these stories will have traction for months.Actually, you can't. Sorry, but its a bit politically naive to think that you can successfully prosecute 3 scandals at once as they compete with each other for media time and only act to drown one another out. You need media cycles to make anything stick.
...What is sad about this is how certain groups from Churches to Greenpeace during the Bush years had the same **** done to them except there wasn't any reason but political hackery...
Wiretapping the Associated Press is the worst among those listed. That completely violated the 1st Amendment. More heads should roll, and we should DEMAND answers here. The Patriot Act set precedent for these kinds of actions. People were all for it after 9/11, but they failed to see the potential consequences. We are seeing on of those consequences now.
We shouldn't be distracted by Benghazi. We should concentrate on the wiretaps and fraud from the IRS.
Actually, you can't. Sorry, but its a bit politically naive to think that you can successfully prosecute 3 scandals at once as they compete with each other for media time and only act to drown one another out. You need media cycles to make anything stick.
Second, your suggesting they have equal value suggests to me the only "scandal" to you is that Obama is in office. You are really only happy that he is in the hot seat and not particularly bothered by any of the so-called scandals. If you were bothered, one would bother you more than others.
