        Yes and no. If the allegations of seizing phone records of the conversations of Congressmen are true, then we may have an issue. No matter what the party, Congressmen don't like to be watched by the Executive branch.

Far from being a "weakness" that you revealed, you have revealed that you believe, for some reason, that it was you that I was specifically directing my comments to. Still, kudos to you.
                      For that assumption to be supportable I would have had to display a tendency to only address people who I felt were addressing me specifically. I would also have to have displayed a tendency to accept people's assessments of me out of weakness. These are both demonstrably false. Only a great moron like yourself could not see that.

                      I have addressed people in this very thread who were obviously not addressing me, and do so all the time.

                      In any case, it's not surprising that to try to distract from the fact that you were acting like a little *****, you've fallen back on a ploy that most people figure out is pathetic at some point in grade school. You're only making yourself look worse.

                      • The real question is why does any political group get tax exempt status? The law as written says tax exempt status can ONLY be granted to groups which are EXCLUSIVELY for social benefit groups yet in 1959 the IRS wrote a policy statement saying they interpreted the word "exclusively" to mean primarily which just is wrong according to the definitions of the English language.

                        Just enforce the law AS WRITTEN so that no political group gets tax exempt status and then this problem goes away because you remove the gray area of "are they primarily political or not" and it just becomes "do they do anything political?" and if so they don't get tax exempt status. Make political groups pay their taxes just like everyone else and then there can be no question of favoritism. The whole problem just goes away and all we have to do is enforce the existing laws as written.

                        • BTW the only political group which was actually denied tax exempt status in 2008 was a democratic group. The right wing political groups were all actually granted tax exempt status. FACT.

                                Better yet ... no tax exempt status for anyone.
