The problem with the IRS is not the scandal. The problem is that none of the people in the IRS thought this WAS a scandal because from their experience this is how things are done. Since many people in government move around from time to time from department to department and agency to agency, etc. and still did not think as this as an issue. This sort of indicates a general level of corruption through out the government with only some issues getting to the people's attention.
So yes the elections were corrupted to some extent. Did it make a difference? Maybe. Will it make a difference? No.

To much of this Star Trek strained my creditablity meter.
Why would anybody give the modern Kirk a star ship? Every time he commands one it falls out of the sky.
The travel time to the end of known space seems to be shorter than my travel time to the concession stand. What is the challenge of exploration if you can just zoom back home for tea? While you don't have to show time passed in real time you should indicate that a journey happened. You know, clocks spinning, calendar pages flipping stuff.
It seems instant communication throughout the universe is now possible. Kirk in a broken ship in the neutral zone calls Scotty in a bar on earth with no issues? Come on!
Why is the dreadnought so big. It seems that it has very little crew and a lot of empty environmentally controlled space for no reason except to get Scotty winded.

Traditionally our Presidents come out of senators, governors and the military. I could see a senator that was a governor as a strong candidate. What I don't see is a talking head that was a governor as a strong candidate.

I wonder what the answer, I pray for the IRS to give me tax exempt status in a timely manner then leave me alone would have gotten?

She was a rising star and her governorship of Alaska help much promise. I looked forward to her career and with some seasoning her transition to the national stage. Then McCain reached out and changed her future. Now she has become a caricature of herself, a talking head with no additional experience to bring to the table. If she wants to play politics again she needs to go back to her roots and do some things worth doing, to show what needs to be done and that she is the one that can do them. People loved her because she was an authentic, with a story that speaks to America's soul. Now she is losing her authenticity, and becoming the very thing she opposed, but it is not too late for her to turn it around. It will just take work.

I heard the purpose of the app was to locate those interested in Obama scandals for special attention of various government departments and agencies. I suspect an IRS or DHS agent will be by shortly to see to your education on these subjects.

I find it surprising that the logical answer to this problem has not been stated. We must now have at least a set number of women in the military so that it is "diverse". There are no such quotas for men. So if we went to a single sex, female military would not all these problems be solved? We all know that women are less violent so it follows that with a female military we will have less assaults, including sexual assaults or rape so this problem would be solved. Then our military has not been making good decisions lately, and most women will tell you that they are the smarter of the sexes so we should see an intelligence bump once women are in charge. The last election showed that women crave the security the state can give them. The military is the government written large, with job security pretty much a given and benefits that last a lifetime so I can see this as attractive to women once we remove all those ra ra male types.

The average citizen does not keep track and couldn't care less. You are going to have to find a scandal that hits everybody hard in the pocketbook before the average joe will take notice.

So what? This is just government acting the way that all governments do. It is just the political class using it force against us. You notice that the IRS itself brought this out after they have gotten all use and benefit out of the program. You could also notice that the elite Republicans did not make a big deal about this when it was happening. Even as the Tea Party was shouting foul. Why? Because they were scared of the Tea Party, or at least what it could turn into, as much as the Democrats were. A day of reckoning is coming and everybody knows it, it is just a matter of time.

@kohana & Lee: sounds like we need to do a parrot or parrot rescue thread. The Galt family just grew by 2 parrotlets recently as we rescued/adopted (or they acquired us, hard to tell with parrots) some birds from a bird lady that took on too much situation.

This lady has some talent and looks like she has managed to allied herself with others of talent in their chosen fields. I think her videos are a very smart way to market herself in the social media crowd.

Of course she is against IRS corruption. That is easy to say when you don't define what you consider corrupt. The question is does she define what the IRS did as corrupt and what is she willing to do about it.

Just out of curiosity, why is Russlynn Ali not guilty of violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001 lying to federal agents?

The point most miss is that there is no IRS scandal. The IRS did what they were ordered to do. The very person in charge of this department in the IRS is one of their golden people selected for her ability to get tough projects like this accomplished. She is now in charge of IRS Obamacare enforcement, any guess how even handed that will be handled?
The Left do not see this as a scandal because they believe that one of the purposes of government is to control the parts of the population it disagrees with. The left voter could care less because they do not care if legal or moral as long as the get their way.

I have been saying something similar for many years.  The bureaucrats run the country, the political class just thinks it does and the bureaucrat let them so they can use them as cover.  That is why anything like term limits will not work unless you expand it to all in government service and I mean all levels of government service.  Personally I believe that government service needs to be considered a duty and be limited to 10 years total government service for all government employees no matter what level. 

He will ignore their ruling.
