The fact you think any of those are manufactured scandals makes me take you much less seriously.
Oh please. I wasn't exacting enough in.my language because the IRS is scandal worthy.
IRS, worth looking into but little has been proven. No one wants the POTUS to use the IRS as a political tool. Have we been able to prove any significant wrong doing?
Benghazi has been manufactured political outrage almost from go. There's a question worth exploring in the lack of security leading up to it, but after that it doesn't matter. The constant beating of this drum is nothing but red meat for the partisans. Find evidence of Hillary ignoring the security concernd, and you may have a story. In two years there's nothing more than more conjecture. The only reason the right is outraged is the Democrats in office.
The right has been throwing shite against the wall hoping it would stick for the entirety of the Obama administration. It's hard to take any of it seriously until you can show some rock solid evidence. I'm right there with you if you can prove any of it.
Give me a proper scandal (like this VA shite appears to be) and I won't think the right is just angry at their sour grapes.

To be fair, they've had a helluva time getting documents and evidence, because of the refusal to release documents. Going so far as to be held in contempt by oversight committees. Perhaps if they were abiding by the law, you would have that evidence by now.

On the part of the white house? No. And as much as I dislike Obama, I don't think he was involved. BUT, there are Democratic senators involved, many of whom asked the IRS to target these groups and that has been proven. There's lots more, but I'm hungover and don't want to get into it at the moment, but this is not a manufactured scandal, it's a very big deal.

What was Stevens doing in Benghazi? It's not the capital.
I'm glad you asked.
He was trying to recover arms from the "freedom fighters" that we had supplied to them. But that's probably not a big deal either.
