Let’s not -— ONCE AGAIN — “snatch defeat from the jaws of victory” by being over-confident hat our self-righteous cause will “win” over the “independents”.
Impeachment? IMHO, that is a credibility-shredding fantasy, which could just prevent the GOP from cleansing the Senate in 2014.
“Impeachment” is such a really good “cause” to rally the clueless left, that I wonder if it’s not the Dems who are promoting it within the GOP! As a kind of “dirty trick”.
I think it would be wiser for us to focus on the Administration’s first mistake: Hillary’s refusal to respond to rather obvious indicators of future trouble in Benghazi:
9/11 anniversary date
Prior attack on the UK ambassador
Strong al-Qaeda-linked gangs in Benghazi
REQUESTS for more security from the Ambassador
REQUESTS for more security by the security forces which were withdrawn (WITHDRAWN!) at the request of the State Department (Hillary?)
The obvious weakness of Lybia’s new government.
Hillary failed to properly prepare Benghazi, either by:
(a) providing normal levels of security to our endangered Benghazi consulate and/or
(b) withdrawing the order that sent Ambassador Stevens to “do” something there.
Hillary’s incompetence on this point created the need for the talking point lies spewed that were broadcast by Susan Rice’s in her TV interviews, which essentially said:
“Hillary can’t be blamed for a “spontaneous protest” that for some unknown reason went bad!”
That lie then led to the “no rescue” orders from the White House. The White House could not send our military to Benghazi to “rescue” our ambassador from a rag-tag bunch of angry movie-critics, could it?
And so four Americans died.
We were told at that time that the White house could not discuss these murders in detail because such discussions would slow down our bringing of the killers to justice. Now we are told, the killings hapopened so long ago that no one needs to be concerned about them.
We saw this with White-Watergate and Lewinsky-gate, too. First, there was the “Let’s not rush to judgment” phase. Then come the “Let’s move on!” phase.
Of course if someone does capture one of the Benghazi attackers (alive!) and that attacker reports that their objective in Benghazi was to capture Ambassador Stevens alive, so he could be “exchanged” for the so-called “Blind Sheik” now imprisoned in America, then we open a whole new book of conspiracy theories....
At this point I could give a rip about doing anything for political gain. That is Rove and the RNC crap.
What any Rs with courage and convictions need to do is cast every bit of political ideas to the wind and focus on finding the truth, exposing the wrong doers, and punishing them. I dno’t care how they do it, but they need to do it with fire and guts and courage. Fighting spirit. Dig out the corruption, Islamic jihad promoting treason, find the crimes and punish the criminals.
0moslem does’t need impeachment, they need to arrest all actors in this who committed crimes. And then the truth about who the he!! he really is needs to be addressed after that, and who committed crimes to put him in the WH.
Political ambitions and traditional political tactics be damned.
And guess what - the above will insure political success as a side effect.
