Call Boner at 202-224-3121 and ask him about Benghazi today.

We need a way to take these things out of the hands of congress

No, only Congress has the power to end this charade. You need one Congressman with a brain to be appointed to chair a special investigative committee, who then hires a prosecutor and a team of investigators with subpoena powers.

When the Democrats decided Nixon had to go, they mapped out a careful, smart battle plan and stuck to it. They were not trying to make Nixon "look bad", they were not trying to score points. They understood what category of offenses could get them to 67 votes in the Senate, they framed it early and maintained the frame, and they succeeded.

It does not matter how many people here think it is self evident that he in a Kenyan Muslim illegal alien who constantly commits treason and lies about it. None of those things are relevant to the matter at hand.

The IRS matter, properly investigated, will sink him. Some AP warrentless searches seasoning might help with the MSM.

Benghazi is, IMO, a distraction on the road to removal.

Boehner Sides With Obama Over McCain On Syria

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2012/07/19/interview_with_speaker_of_the_house_john_boehner_114861.html

BLITZER: Would you support U.S. military action, not necessarily troops on the ground, but air power, cruise missiles, arming of the rebels?

Would you go that far at this point to get rid of Bashar al- Assad?

BOEHNER: I don’t think that — that we ought to go that far. Now, it’s clear that the opposition is making progress. It’s also clear that they are receiving assistance from their friends in the region.

And I don’t think, at this point that it calls for that type of military intervention on our part.

BLITZER: So, on this issue, you’re with the Obama administration, basically, and not, let’s say, with John McCain?

BOEHNER: I’ve — probably correct, because I believe that Assad has to go. But I don’t think that we need to overly involve ourselves to the extent of direct military action.

So in other words, nothing is going to happen.

I left a response for Boner:

“Mister Speaker,
Nancy Pelosi said that if you were a girl you would be called the weakest speaker in history.

I disagree 100% with Mdme. Pelosi. I think you are the weakest speaker even if you are not a girl.”

..only the obvious.

He has been brought into team Obama.

It is not about fairness, objectivity nor truth.

I think you’re on to something. Bonehead’s behavior makes no sense but blackmail gives it context.

Bonehead is not to be trusted. He’s just as bad as Obama!

Well, that’s one thing that Boehner has right—we do not want to get ourselves involved in Syria. Unfortunately there may come a “wag the dog” time when Obama will do exactly that to divert attention from his other problems.

"We need a way to take these things out of the hands of congress."

My personal choice would be torches and pitchforks.

Because he’s afraid that it might uncover something that would require action on Boehner’s part - action that might require facing up to his Constitutional duty and adversely affect his golf outings.

Probably cause his FBI files have his daughters involved with drugs or him on video crying like a little b:$tch over a dead girl or a live boy.

Can you remember the last time a congressional investigation found anything but scapegoats?

I don’t know why anyone would be surprised by this. It’s what he has done every time. Absolutely every time. No exceptions.
