All of the government "over-reach" is bad, including the ineptness that took four American lives in Benghazi, and, now we know, the subsequent lies surrounding the attack, the IRS over-reach (and everyone ought to be concerned about that of all political stripes, and the over-reaches of the NSA, and the judicial activism that in no way resembles the limited functions described in our Constitution, and the abuse of "executive orders by many", and the list goes on. If the government is "unlimited enough" to pick and choose what "rights" it wants to enforce or support, it is "unlimited enough" to take your rights away. I disagree that the IRS shenanigans are only about winning elections, it is about the proper role of a government agency (in this case turned attack dog) in NOT targeting anyone (conservative or liberal) improperly and WE SHOULD FIND OUT "WHO DONE IT"!
