Yes, indeed. This must be about the ninetieth time that Boner has made it clearly evident that nothing good will happen as long as he is Speaker.

I don’t think he’s dumb. I think he’s corrupt, and probably being blackmailed.

I hate that it has to be the Republicans (politicians) to do what the American Media should do.

Why do the House RINOs keep the Sobber as their Speaker?

Exactly. If the Republicans say 2+2=4, it’s for political bnefit. If the press did it, at least it would appear neutral.

Good article.

Typical incompetent GOP leadership. Always seizing “defeat” from the jaws of “victory”.

As a result, I predict (and I don’t predict much), that the Tea Party and those conservative congressional candidates they support, will supplant the Republican establishment in the House and perhaps get rid of some of the cowards and incompetents of the Old Guard, self-serving GOP leadership.

We need fighters, not compromising cowards, to take on the hardcore Left that is the Democrat Party.

And God, if you are reading this, please take some of the Democrats who are ruining this country. The list is long but Hell ain’t half filled and Satan needs some new bodies down there.

WHy do evil men and women live so long, and the good die young? Reid, Pelosi, Conyers, Rangel, Waters, Schakowsky, Grayson, Sebelius, Markey, Durbin, Whitehouse, Warren, Anita Dunn, Axelrod, Jarrett, etc.

Well, if God doesn’t want to get involved, then we had better get off our asses and get involved in politics at all levels. Now is the time for honest conservatives to rise up and come to the defense of our country. Voting is not enough, organizing is a start.

Demand a Special Prosecutor for the Benghazi, IRS, AP and Rosen investigations, as well as Fast and Furious. Let’s give the Left and the Yellowback Republicans, hell, and take no prisoners along the way.

The entire leadership must go, including Cantor, McCarthy, McConnell
And of course, Bonehead.

The GOP is complicit. Yes Bhoner must go. But he isn’t alone. There is a lot of CYA going on in RINO land. People have a choice. Let them continue to tank this and spit on the graves of the dead...and ensure more in the future, Or not.

What’s with all the ‘incompetence’ type of evasion, like they tried using with the Stalinist tactics of the IRS?

This is not a matter of ‘botching’ an investigation.

It is a matter of COLLUDING with a coverup, probably the biggest coverup in US history, second only to Pearl Harbor, if Roosevelt knew about it in advance.

Eckert makes the same point I did in an earlier FR comment.

I’d rather have one committee with Trey Gowdy as chairman.

5 committees dilute the process in the same way that Romney was able to win out over the many conservative alternatives.

One strong committee forces the media to focus on one storyline. Gowdy is a bulldog, and he will get that storyline out.

All the dribbles from 5 committee ego-heads will just be ignored by the press and be called overkill to boot.

RE:”2) When it comes to crafting and implementing political strategy, they are pretty much complete morons. “

No argument there, 100% correct.

Dems probably have dirt on them. Too bad. We are sick of the elites who think they are above the laws. The families deserve answers and for someone to be held accountable or their deaths.

Not botched, but covered up.

I wish the Rats would pass on that dirt and expose Bonehead. I think that
Is the only way to get rid of him.

FAST AND FURIOUS
We want to get to the bottom of this.
We want to make sure this does not ever happen again.

BENGHAZI
We want to get to the bottom of this.
We want to make sure this does not ever happen again.

IRS TARGETING ON THE BASIS OF IDEOLOGY
We want to get to the bottom of this.
We want to make sure this does not ever happen again.

Let’s be clear.
There’s a pattern here.
