That’s so true. They listen to the people and they’re easy to listen to.
They know what they’re talking about. They know the people in question.

boner is limp, flaccid and vapid. boner is one of the most feckless humans. Should boner be taking testosterone?

Maybe we don't understand this because Boner can't talk and chew gum at the same. He is silent on why he's chosen Issa’s committee to investigate rather than have the kind of investigative committee being pushed by McCain.

Issa’s committee really did not get much skin off obama’s and Holder's hides for Fast and Furious. He's seems adverse to the idea of using subpoenas to force the rats out of hiding to force testimony and documents.

Can someone explain to me why a select committee would be restricted to 90 days? Did Ken Starr have a 90 day window?

Since it appears to me that Mark Levin understands the workings of our government far better than I, and his vote is for a committee, I am inclined to go with his recommendation.

What Issa is doing has been interesting, but it feels more like random meetings that just pop up and nothing concrete comes of them. Maybe I am just not understanding what the advantage is to letting Issa run with this. And when does the under oath part come in?

Also, if Cheney is for a select committee, I have far more confidence in him then Boehner!

Then allow me to rephrase the question. Chairman Issa, how many people have received JUSTICE from, or because of, the Fast and Furious investigation? We have followed that story ar least as faithfully as we have Benghazi, and the end result has been NOTHING. Zip. Nada. No one has been fired, No one has been held accountable. NO JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE for the families of the slain ICE and ATF agents, for the hundreds of Mexican and possibly other Americans murdered with walked weapons.

This article is an excellent example of why many people do not understand what Republican are up to. Nothing like using many names of committees to completely confuse the low information voters.

I could have written this article, using half the space while informing what is going on in a way that everyone, not just political junkies, would understand.

Yes - Congress focus on Benghazi (tell Boehner to go suck an egg)... The IRS and AP scandals have basically been admitted to... the smoke from these fiascoes will help undermine obama - because they are more clear and understandable to the American people. Let them smolder and finally burst into flame. Meanwhile - turn Benghazi into a bonfire - the bonfire of obama’s vanities ... :)

That’s the way, bypass Lt. NoBalls and get to the truth on this.

They maintain that the 90-day timeline would allow for administration stonewalling...

This is a critical point. Bill Clinton evaded having to answer the same sort of investigative committee (chaired by then-senator Fred Thompson) during the various Clinton scandals. It's easy for an administration, especially one beloved and protected by the press, to stall for 90 days, all the while making public statements about how they're cooperating in every regard. Once the 90 days were over, he didn't have to answer a single question from the committee.

In the failed world of Communism, all functions of a Society are controlled by a Central Government.

Our Central Federal Government has been easily taken over by Obama to the gleeful cheers of MSNBC and others in the Liberal Agenda Media.

This is as good a time as any to take note of those who have willingly enabled the blatant Communist ideas and programs of Obama to take hold in our Central Federal Government.

It is also a good time to take note of the many dictatorial powers that our sorry US Congress has granted over many decades to the Administration Branch and related Bureaus of our Central Federal Government.

Just to balance our income with our spending, the Central Federal Government must reduce spending by 40 percent.

The longer we wait to “cut or way to prosperity” and repeal and abolish Federal Regulations, the greater our financial debt and less Liberty we will have.

For example, if Central Federal Government Regulations were reduced by 40 percent, our Society would be 40 percent further removed from control by the Central Federal Government.

Currently, there are 3 major Impeachable Scandals that our sorry RINOs could use to remove Obama from our Central, semi-Communist, Federal Government.

My question is: “Do our sorry Congressional RINOs have the POLITICAL MOTIVATION to Impeach and Remove B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, a legal citizen of Indonesia?”

” Boehner and McConnel are such disappointments.”

There is only one man that can stop OBozo from being impeached on Benghazi and that man is John Boehner.

And he will do his level best, behind the scenes, to try and stop it, like he did on *Fast and Furious*.

He is OBozo's biggest stealth defender, I have no doubt about that.

If Gingrich had been Speaker it’s unlikely Obama would have won in 2012.
