Ray Rice or Benghazi?

Ray Rice or the IRS scandal?

Ray Rice or Fast and Furious?

Ray Rice or NSA eavesdropping?

Ray Rice or Justice Department targeting of conservative journalists?

Ray Rice of the suspension of the ACA by Executive fiat?

Ace of Spades points out that there appears to be more outrage on the Left about Ray Rice's two game suspension than over any of the scandals of the Administration over the past six years.

Democrats are more concerned about the NFL and Ray Rice. IRS scandal? Benghazi? Fast and Furious? Nope, no interest there. Dead Americans and corruption don't interest Democrats unless it involves a Republican. Funny I haven't heard these same Democrats going after the judge and prosecutor that allowed Rice to plead to a misdemeanor but threw the book at this woman for a firearms violation.
Here's a fun thought exercise. What if the NFL drags out its investigation into the Ray Rice thingy for 491 days like the IRS scandal? Would that be acceptable to Democrats as it has been for all other scandals involving this administration?

This and more at Ace of Spades.

And on and on it goes

The EPA is now being investigated for targeting conservative groups.  Apparently they waived the Freedom of Information Act fees 90% of the time for liberal groups and denied a waiver 90% of the time for conservative groups.

My guess is that the left will once again deny, just like they did with Bengazi, the IRS, Fast and Furious, etc.  They will come out with the same fake statistics about how it was the same under Bush that they do with every scandal, or they will claim that it isn't even true and create some way to fudge the numbers.  Eventually the truth will out, but by then people will be so tired of this that it just won't register and anyone still talking about it will be accused of living in the past.  The left will accuse anyone actually investigating the issue of being a partisan crank who never lets anything go.

Meanwhile the real problem is not the Obama Administration, it is a government that is so big that it can be used for political purposes.  Eventually an administration like Obama's will come along and misuse it.

I propose that we eliminate all these rogue agencies, return our government to its formerly limited, capital-C, Constitutional status, and go about living our lives.

But then what do I know.  I'm probably a partisan crank.
