Anybody ever question why all these "scandals" are coming out?

[Lady Freedom Returns]

I have. It is amazing that they have come out with only small bits of truth. After some time more info comes out, but not till it has blinded everyone and things get sneaked pass. Such things like this:

3. Not sure, but the scandals are probably distractions for any number of reasons.

Elections. Character asassinations. General political smearing.

Just some general republicon dirtyness.

Keep in mind that the data collection scandal was initiated during the first shrub term.

4. Funny how you got more attention with this link than your original even on a progressive site.

Hey at least you can use "scandle" to your advantage.

7. As long as it gets the problem seen.

Paper Selling 101, you may say. Use a trigger word.

We need people to rally and call on this. This is going to slowly hurt people. We have too many working poor and working homeless that will be cut.

Yeah, it may be over ten years, but I don't see any move to force a raise in pay to cover the loss.

5. With the recent cyber & phone info it does come a few days after Obama accused China of cyber

espionage. Just when China is here visiting. Hmmm... I think it may be the gop, but the tea party is the one who wants you to hate government. Think about it, millions of dollars that can come from foreign sources are now being funneled into campaigns. Why do we assume all those individuals have good intentions? Our press has no obligation to print the truth. The press is also owned by foreign interests. Do we really think all these people want what's best for America?
I look at how many of these things happened in the past, but are just being reported now and it seems that there is a coordinated effort to cause alarm and promote distrust among this administration and the gov't as a whole.

6. This is the teabagger monster......

This is the teabagger monster republicans don't want to talk about when they are changing their "Image".
This is the teabagger monster republicans hide in the closet when they are trying to appeal to the minority voter.
This is the teabagger monster republicans throw scandal meat to when they want to 'get out the vote'.



Dam either that Karl Rove is a genius or that teabagger monster ain't all too very bright!

8. you wish this shit would have remained hidden from the public?

and you look at this as binary win/ lose dem/gop thing? wow.

[Puzzledtraveller]

10. Of course they do

They are fans, blue is the color, D is letter and O is the star QB, oh yeah, they are always playing against the red team.

12. Do you know that they are going to vote to deduce food stamps?

Did you see that anywhere?

This is being used to blind us and most have fallen for it. When a scandal comes out we know to look at everything going on. Why? More than likely they are doing other things while all attention is focused on, when it is first brought out, half truths.

We need to stop allowing this kind of blinding. Look at more, not be lead by what they use as a carrot.

9. simple

When a boxer THINKS he has his opponent weakened and in a defensive position he will expend all energy and launch a sustained attack.

14. This is probably true. Previously people leaked but there was no traction.

Once it was exposed that Obama was after the AP the barn doors were opened. Now it is no holds barred.

[LeftInTX]

13. Of course, who cares about food stamps at a time like this!
