Quite a strategy from these folks, one outrageous scandal to the next with the media running cover for them.
Any single one of these outrages could have had a Republican President removed from office.
Last weeks scandal is forgotten by the latest one and the general public loses interest because they can't keep up with it all.
They are just shoving it in our faces now as evidenced by the politicians exempting themselves from obomacare,
"Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
What's next from this gang? I can't hardly wait
Sad

Methinks thats because all the "scandals" have been the product of GOP overstatement or fabrication...they lose steam because there are no facts to stoke the furnace.

For that reason -- let alone the sheer glee of seeing the biggest threat to our nation in my lifetime fall flat on its collective ass -- I've stopped watching the details. At this point, it has gotten so bad there is zero doubt whom I'm voting for for Pres or dogcatcher, so why sweat the details?

I've gone back to the more important, sane, rational side of TV. I recently watched all 4 or 5 years of Breaking Bad for the first time, just watched the last season of Walking Dead, and will home in on Homeland soon.

You can't be serious, nobody died at Benghazi, the IRS never singled out conservative fund raising organizations, BHO really does like coal and big oil, and most of all, we are all happy because we are now getting affordable, and better healthcare, using our favorite doctors.

Oh,,,,,,,,,, to be a dog, no brains, no headaches.

Just an observation, but you're watching a bunch of extremely paranoid shows!!! Every one of them good though.

I watch 'em 'cause I like 'em. I hadn't even thought about their psychology, politics, or ideology.

I don't have a tv but I have caught walking dead on netflix, totally hooked but I have to wait until next year to watch the current episodes so don't tell me what happens Smile
I too have largely given up on discussing politics, I just come on here and rant a bit but most of my friends and neighbors don't know where I stand.
