don-o, we’ve had lots of John Deans come and go. The media only cares if they’ve got the goods on Republicans.

The whole Nixon thing was really a successful coup against the Republicans anyway. The affair was tame compared to the crap that went on (and continues) in the subsequent democrat White Houses.


Impeachment is a pipe dream, I agree. The media makes that happen—or doesn’t. The idea that THIS media will advance the cause of impeachment is lunacy.

But I do think the chance for sullying Rodham is what matters most about the scandal at this point. As the 2016 heir apparent, I think she has some dubious marks against her as it is. Benghazi could be the wedge issue that makes her a loser in the general election, swaying just enough of the idiot vote away from her.

She’s the one who made the 3 am phone call ad and look how easily Benghazi can be used to undercut her CIC credentials.

Plus, as bad as she looks these days (I don’t like disparaging someone’s looks even a vile commie but facts are facts) I see a bloc of reality TV voters out there probably ready to find some excuse for voting against her.

Let’s not kid ourselves, sex sells and she’s a mess.

So people were not rescued because of Obama political reasons. People died because it was more important for Obama to be elected. The media went along with it too because they are Democrat Party soldiers who march to the beat of the Obama Machine drum. Republicans in Washington sit back and watch the Obama parade march on.


Yes.

So Pickering can’t be bothered to testify before Congress, but can go on the Sunday shows?..

Notice Patreus is keeping his mouth shut too. Maybe some new news will be revealed on the today’s Sunday Talk Shows.
Obama will sing “We didn’t start the fire.”

There is a shoe yet to drop - gun running to the Syrian so-called rebels. The hearing edged up to that in asking why there was even this facility in Benghazi. All they got was that it was at Hillary's behest.

The rumor was Stevens was gay and sodomized before his death. I think Beck said he was raped before his death.

All true, but it looks like they may have overplayed their hand. If played right there could be some blowback.

BTW: I will finish “The Republic of Texas 2022” this week. I would like around 10 people to review it.

If you want FReepmail me your email address and I will send a PDF of it when it is finished for you to review.

It is Atlas Shrugs meets Star Wars.

Pray for America to Wake Up

David Gregory trying to blame this on David Petraeus and the CIA.

Issa pointing out that they should have started with the fact witness — the ambassador — we are under attack

Pretty good back and forth on FOX who had Susan Rice lying right after the Benghazi attack. Adam Smith, lying RAT-Wash, who originally contradicted Rice, reverses himself and is now defending the administration.

don-o, we’ve had lots of John Deans come and go.

Hmmmm. Counsel to the President? Lots of those? I musta missed that...

Regardless, I consider impeachment of The Dear Leader a remote possibility and a potential distraction at this point. The realistic hope is to remove the Dem control of the Senate while holding the House in 2014. Crippling Hillary for 2016 is icing on the cake.

Reps. Mike Rogers, R-Mich : The failure to protect the Cole
and go after the terrorists contributed to what followed.


"Victims of Cole bombing upset
"A top officer slammed Obama's decision to seek the withdrawal of charges against the 2000 suspected U.S.S. Cole ship bomber."


"Impeach Obama Says Sister of Cole Sailor Killed in Terror Attacks
"The sister of Seaman James McDaniels, a sailor killed in the terror attack on the U.S.S. Cole wants President Barack Hussein Obama impeached
over his decision to withdraw charges against the al Qaeda mastermind of the attack."


"Mother of USS Cole Sailor Declines Obama-meet, Says "I Voted for the Wrong Person"
"After Obama dropped the charges against the suspect in the bombing of the USS Cole,
he asked the families of the victims in that tragedy to meet with him.
One mother refused, and now says,"I voted for the wrong person."

Susan Rice plainly said she based her false “video protest” narrative on the CIA talking points. Problem is of the twelve versions of the talking points, NONE mentioned any video any where. Obama and Clinton both also used the same made up story (including to the families of the fallen). All three are liars and no amount of poltical tap dancing can change that.

The Clinton Machine will not go quietly. They will play payback with Obama, if they are thrown under the bus. There may be a war brewing within the Democrat Party.
