This and This from my Rep Mo Brooks
Mo's Minions:
Once again you've failed to keep your boss straight on his talking points. In his message of September 12, 2013 he states: "This Administration illegally uses the Internal Revenue Service to attack political adversaries.".
A point both you and he know to be an outright lie, but let's continue. If this were true Mo's bud Issa wouldn't have swept his committee hearings under the rug so quickly.
Fast forward to Mo's correspondence of September 18, 2013 and here's this gem: "Quite frankly, at this point, I am unaware of compelling evidence that the President violated any specific criminal statute.".
So ask your boss which statement is true. Is it that President Obama has broken the law and "illegally" used the IRS to "attack political adversaries", clearly an example of "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" and an impeachable offense? Or is it that Mo realized his bud Issa had nothing from his hearings? The chronology of these statements leads one to believe that Mo knows how full of BS the former was and now he is walking back the latter.
What say you?
Mr. Al_Liberal:
I guess this minion feels there is little value to be gained by engaging in argument. We might quibble over what is “high crime and misdemeanor”. We might also argue that while we believe the pattern at the IRS is certainly clear enough to make political conclusions, the compelling evidence to drive a case of “high crime”, especially with current Senate, has not emerged. In the end, nothing would convince either of us.
In all good will, I simply ask you to consider which direction you want this country to take. Do you want ever increasing taxation and spending by the Federal government? Or, do you want to retain your individual economic liberty? As you consider this, if we confiscated ALL of the income from those making over $1Million per year, we could give each tax payer about $6,000. Prosperity for the majority will only come through continued innovation and investment so we become more productive. For one, I don’t trust the bureaucrats to invest enough or in the right way. Further, I don’t want to be forced to invest in the things the bureaucrats think are important. I want the freedom to invest in what I feel is important. This article is well worth reading.

And my AW Rep stated that he wouldn't vote for a debt ceiling increase no matter what. Mo(ron) says that the country defaulting is better than the country becoming bankrupt but what is the difference at a country level?
