Topic: IRS harassment of Tea Party groups likely tipped 2012 election to Obama

[Finrod]

This apparently came out in June, but I just recently discovered it-- this study takes a look at the 2010 elections vs the 2012 elections, and concludes that the IRS harassment of Tea Party groups cost Mitt Romney between 5 and 8 million votes, in an election that Obama won by 5 million votes:

Add to that the 10-20 million dead people the Dems voted for, and its was a pretty solid win.
There will never be a fair election in this country again
There will never be an IRS that doesn't persecute opposition
There will never be a fair trial again.

The only solution is to let this country burn and build a new one after all of the problem children have burned to death in the conflagration they voted to start.  Let. It. Burn.

You won't get an argument from me

There's never going to be another Republican president in the United States. Point of fact, there's not going to be a United States all that much longer, certainly not the "united" part anyway.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.  History is on our side for 2016.  Not since the founding of the Republican Party has there been two different Democrats elected consecutively to the Presidency where the first one didn't die in office.  Democrats haven't won the Presidency 3 elections in a row since Harry Truman, for that matter.

Clarification - Glock's statement should read "conservative/libertarian Tea Party" Republican POTUS will not get elected.  There could be a Republican, but if there is it is 99.999% certain to be a Ruling Class progressive Republican.  Which is to say there will never be non-progressive POTUS elected in what now is commonly referred to as the USA.
