Boehner Names Members for Benghazi Select Committee

The Weekly Standard ^ | 5-9-2014 | Daniel Halper

[MinuteGal]

Thanks for reporting in with the endorsement for Rep. Susan Brooks, Hoosiermama!

I reported up thread earlier my endorsement for Rep. Peter Roskam who's from an arch-conservative district in Illinois where I lived, and where lived Roskam's predecessor, the late, great Irish Tory, Cong. Henry Hyde of everlasting Right to Life fame.

Here we go with the committee appointees.....

Congressman Trey
Say hey, he'll slay!

Our Ms. Brooks
Brains...and looks!

Tough Jim Jordan
Can't ask for more, man!

Miz Martha Roby
Watch her probe-y!

Roskam, Peter
Purple Dem eater!

Mike Pompeo
Will deliver a kayo!

Lyn Westmoreland
Passed our tests beforehand!

(.....thought I couldn't do that one, hah)

That's our committee
Shure looks pretty!

love your tagline :)

thanks!

[latina4dubya]

I love the tagline also, is she female? You have to check these days.

thank you!

80 is low

I’m sure Marsha Blackburn is much higher....my congressman.

2013 ACU rating 84% Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee)

To Blackburn's credit, she was rated 100% in 2012 and after 11 years in Congress has an ACU average 96% score.

2013 was Susan Brooks first year in Congress so she has no previous ACU ratings for comparison to Blackburn's.

[conservaKate]

Split tail? Good grief. You win...you got me to respond to your nonsense.

Addendum to my tagline: I grow weary of the goobers who believe men are smarter and tougher than women.

Have a great evening.

[wardaddy]

If her trajectory is same as Marshhas it looks grim

Wonder what Blackburn did to collapse

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Which of these republicans on the committee are statists who will do the power elites’ bidding and obstruct leak and damage the investigation?

You know Boehner put some on there.....which one (s) are they?

[smoothsailing]

I don’t think Boehner picked them. I think Gowdy did.

I can’t see Gowdy picking any statists.

[smoothsailing]

These Congressmen scored 80% or higher in 2013. The ACU consider 80% or better enough to earn a “conservative” score. So Brooks and Blackburn were right around the borderline. I’d prefer 95% or better myself even though a quote Reagan used, “The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally — not a 20 percent traitor,” may be what influences the ACU standard.

[KC Burke]

I believe she is was selected to be Gowdy’s “Point Man” as the chairman is rarely able to act as the chief questioner on matters detail based upon time share. I think she was who Gowdy wanted.

[GeronL]

I stopped taking the ACU seriously years ago

[smoothsailing]

That’s good, it’s not gospel. It offers some insight and should be considered in conjunction with other criteria.

Having said that, what other criteria do you rely on?

[wardaddy]

Lol

Amusing yankee fembots since the 70s

The pleasure has been all mine..

[Flint]

Cummings is going to be before the committee not sitting on it.

[1010RD]

the House can continue to make the economy and job creation its priorities.

Is he just saying this for the mob of dopes who believe that government controls the economy or job creation? They can only cause harm. My hope is he means by simply getting government out of the way.

[MeshugeMikey]

“...simply getting government out of the way...”

OH if ONLY!

[AuH2ORepublican]

“I will expect the RATs to name one each of black, woman, homosexual, handicapped and hispanic. If one of those is a muzzie or some combination of the aforementioned, so much the better.”

Dollars to doughnuts that Pelosi will name Illinois freshman Democrat Tammy Duckworth, who is a female, Asian-American disabled veteran.

[Personal Responsibility]

7 Rs and 5 Ds means only one R needs to flip to hang everything up. If you’re Hillary, you’re looking at that list and trying to determine who you have stuff on, who will deal with you.

[Bob Ireland]

***Henry Hyde of everlasting Right to Life fame***

...and: he survived a threat to his life by Alec Baldwin to bring forth impeachment in '98!

[smoothsailing]

If you’re Hillary, you’re looking at that list and trying to determine who you have stuff on, who will deal with you.

Thank God I'm not Hillary, what a disgusting thought.

If you're Hillary, get the hell off Free Republic, you treasonous shrew!

LOL!
