Between the White House smear machine and a MSM that will cover for Obama no matter what nothing will come of this. Besides the low information voters will be too busy watching American Idol to care.

” same people who put this colossal failure back into the White House”

Barely, and Obama’s effectiveness and reputation have declined since the election.

When the Watergate scandal broke we had a New York and D.C. press corps with a burning desire to destroy Richard Nixon. With 0bama and the Benghazi scandal we have the very same press corps ready to do anything it can reasonably expect to get away with to protect their God-like hero and preserve his presidency.

A point I made yesterday. We owe it to the dead and their families not to let this thing go but it's a lot more upstream struggle than it ever was with Nixon. In addition to the corruption and partisanship in the media there is something quite a bit more frightening going on - the Dems feel that holding power is worth a few deaths, and that includes the Dems that pervade the media. We've come a long way since the 70's and it's all been downhill into a moral and ethical snake pit.

I accuse the author of this article of plagerizing my thoughts - because it is word for word exactly what I think.
Not going to happen.

Benghazi scandal , re-adjusted for the “ Corruption index “ since it was : Jay the Whitehouse guy “ that was a long time ago, so we might as well just let go of it, sarcasm.

Yes, yes, yes, I know folks, it's not fair but that's how the main stream media, Elijah Cummings want it that way.

So ? we have to come up with a new " CORRUPTION INDEX " just like the " INFLATION INDEX " because the liberals and Democrats are so special and can't be held to the same standard as you or I.

Yes, Yes, yes, I know, it's not right or fair, but we have to re-adjust the Benghazi Scandal from the Watergate scandal with the new : CORRUPTION INDEX... since WaterGate was " a long time ago, and Bengazi was " a long time ago " .... even though ? the liberals, MSM, Democrats didn't let go of a lesser scandal in Watergate.


Also ? Elijah Cummings ? why don't you give some words of comfort to those families of those kids who were shot to death at Sandy Hook and tell them " Death is part of life " since Elijah ? that's how you feel about those 4 Americans who died in Benghazi.

Yes Elijah Cummings ? tell that to those families of Sandy Hook... I am sure they would want to hear your words of comfort you dope.

Yep. He’s right. It’s far far far worse than Watergate. But the press will obstruct the investigation and seek to destroy those who want to take down King Barack I.

But what about the American people? Really? Think about that for a few moments. Now … you’re not telling me that the same people who put this colossal failure back into the White House for four more years is going to get worked up over Benghazi, are you?

Except that it was the Benghazi lie that caused the American people to put Obama back in office. Had the lie been exposed instead of supported, we might perhaps have a President Romney now.

Even if Obama steps down in a Nixonian Watergate way, the Democrats still win be keeping the White House for Biden, and not Romney.

The cover-up worked, strategically, if not tacticly, for Obama.

Because ABCCBSNBCCNN doesn't want to make it the next Watergate.

And you think that’s enough to stop the 0bama hero-worship among the Fourth Estate?

And there we have the sad, pathetic truth.

The MSM is acting like the Praetorian Guard for Caesar Obastard. Nothing will come of this at all.

Well.....then......we have to make it understandable to the Democrats.

“Why are you concerned about Benghazi?”

Because four Americans were murdered there including an American Ambassador who served as your representative to Libya. If people can murder American citizens around the world, then no American can be safe outside of our country.

“Why should I be concerned about what went on in Benghazi?”

Because you, or someone close to you, may want to travel outside of the United States. You wouldn’t want to be murdered, would you? If Americans can be murdered in other countries, how will that affect American businesses? Do you realize how many American jobs depend on our ability to conduct business in other countries? How many more tax paying jobs would we lose in this country if we can’t conduct business in other countries? And if Americans can be easily killed in other countries, wouldn’t our enemies feel strong enough to kill Americans in our own borders? And then, aren’t you and your loved ones at risk?

I could spend all day doing this, but you see how easily it’s done. The Democrat voters aren’t inhuman. They do think. We just have to be smart enough to make the case that conservativism is right for them. We have to MAKE the link for them between Benghazi and their lives.

Presidential scandals?

Benghazi is the worst. By far.
Then comes Fast and Furious.
Then comes any number of scandals the Clintoons got away with.
Then maybe Teapot Dome.
Then Watergate.

But hey. Keep America focused on that fat preggy Kardashian and repeat after me....

“What difference does it make?”

I keep pointing out that when the WHY of Benghazi is known,

THAT WE WERE ARMING AL QAEDA

Even the stupidest of low information voters might get it.

But we have to stop with the investigation about the cover-up, and get to the WHY of the cover-up. The cover-up is so massive that the WHY has to be more than just some 0bama campaign messaging and Hillary’s maladministration.

I’m betting the only person to see the inside of a cell over Benghazi is going to be the poor schmuck film maker.

Does anybody even know his current whereabouts?

And why isn’t ANYBODY on the Republican side bringing his name up? Talk about defending the innocent...
