New GOP Meme: we are the adults. Just saw Daryl Issa on CNN. He was saying he would work

with the President and congress to get to the bottom of the IRS scandal. The frothing at the mouth has stopped. The dramatics have stopped. Issa no longer wants to be the story. I guess the GOP are afraid of making a mistake that would mitigate the effect these scandals might have on Obama and the public's negative view of government.

If like the President says - he will work to clear up the ambiguity in the interpretation of this - Rove and the Koch's won't be able to work the 501 (c) (4)'s to their advantage. That is my opinion of this.

This may open up a lot of unwanted questions for Repukes who IMO started this thing to rid themselves of the Teabaggers.

Bottom line,these so called tax dodges are coming to a end. Don't forget who was running the show at the IRS,a Bush Cheney appointee. Hee Hee Hee,let her happen.
