House Speaker John Boehner is facing mounting pressure to create a special or select committee to investigate the Benghazi terror attacks in which four Americans were killed.
The House resolution to form a special committee now has at least 139 co-sponsors who are putting Boehner in the difficult position of leading efforts to get the White House to release emails on Benghazi-gate but not agreeing to the demands of many rank-and-file Republicans.

Hey, uh, obama’s my golfing buddy! I don’t want to embarrass him. That would make me cry.
.....Go to it. The math says it doesn’t work. Better to decapitate the Republican party from the state level and set up an entirely new organization to run someone for President. That’s essentially how the Republican party was founded.....Some sort of Conservative primary before the Republican Primary is needed. Too many candidates with “some” Conservative credentials split-up Conservative support in the traditional Republican Primary, and hand the nomination to the rino, like clockwork.
There are a lot of different unions of course, but if you are a budding young street thug and want to someday be a political boss, then you start working the chairs in your local and move up to district and then national!
At each stage of the game you are also going to be working hand in fist with the elected party officials in the area your union position covers!
During the heyday of the civil rights movements, NAACP, SNCC and CORE did the same ~ so you immediately had trained black Democrats at pretty high level in the ranks of Democrats ~ the AME church offered a similar opportunity for leadership training.
Republicans, in contrast, have frequently indulged in CELEBRITY CANDIDATES and CELEBRITY PARTY LEADERS. That's where we get our RINOs and the GOP~e! We hire them in (with donor money), and in an earlier time we'd take young up and coming Democrat politicians, convert them to Republicans, and then let them run against old bull Democrat party bosses and see if they could win. We built our strength in the Southern states exactly that way.
The Republican party found itself incapable of dealing directly with the TEAParty movement. They should have made a place at the table and allowed folks to make their bones in the TEAParty structure and link over to counterparts in the regular party structure. That would have avoided a number of conflicts and kept us focused on finding new Republican voters!
Frankly, I don’t like gtting shot nor going to jail.
“The people who will vote for Hillary won’t care if she had a lobotomy”....the hildebeaste has had a bottle in front of her; not a frontal lobotomy.
Actually we had 16 announced and declared candidates but only 3 of them had been lifelong Conservative Republicans.
So who were the other 13?
Frankly, they were either Libertarians or Democrat converts ~ and some may well have not even been converts ~ just Democrats.
Most of those 13 were there for no other purpose than to make Mitt Romney's pitiful primary results over the last two elections look good! Probably Romney campaign donors financing them too.
We can protect the Republican brand and run Conservative candidates who can win without squeeing Conservatives out of the main body of primaries.
First, we have to have state laws that do not include opportunities for fraudulent behavior like we saw here in Virginia. A couple of Romney cronies were able to shift the Republican campaign from one where we had lots of candidates and the voters thought they'd have a choice to one where it was obvious somebody's well monied machine was stealing it out from underneath us.
It will forever put a stain on the Romney name.
That single act destroyed all of the public interest in Republican candidates that'd been raised through the lengthy debate season! A BILLION BUCKS DOWN THE DRAIN IN AN INSTANT.
don’t know the date she will testify again, but here is conversation about it: http://washingtonexaminer.com/rep.-chaffetz-hillary-clinton-must-testify-again-about-benghazi-attacks/article/2529348
With all due respect, it’s only conversation at this point. Probably more CYA
on why they did not put her under oath the first time she testified.
Fear not, new republican voters are on the way. When amnesty passes,
the average Hispanic 30 percent vote the GOP has gotten in past elections
will magically jump to 70 percent.
Yeah...Sure!
I don't think so. Wasn't the hearing at which she performed on January 23? IIRC, she left office January 20 (or 21). Oh, I agree about the waterboarding. I'd pay money to watch that.
give Boner a chance.
with the election long behind us,
we need to keep this going as long as possible.
Me too...don’t touch cigs now...but I saw a woman get two packs Friday...As for the Scotch, sorry I omitted....has to stay medicated to ease the pain...
I wonder what sort of a vise they have around his gonads.
What a f- ing disappointment both Boehner and Mitch both are
The classic case consists mostly of Italians ~ in the East they were traditionally Democrats and in the West they were traditionally Republicans. Although that's not necessarily so today, the reason was quite simple ~ the Democrat machines in the East were being smacked around by Republican wins so they went after new voters among the italians, and they got them simply for the asking. In the West, the Democrats were traditionalists and did not try to attract immigrants at that time, so, by default the Italians went with the Republicans.
Nancy Pelosi's family live in Baltimore ~ her father was the mayor. They are all Democrats. She moved West and stayed Democrat. They are as corrupt in both places BTW
Democrats who assume new hispanic voters can just move into the existing structure ~ where blacks themselves are still newcomers ~ are NUTS! Republicans who assume all the hispanic voters will gravitate to the Democrats are also nuts. The fact is most new hispanics eligible to vote will probably join the far more numerous 90 million non-voters. Getting a few tokens here and there to stand up and say 'Hey, looka' me you 'panics. vote me' never did work, won't work, and can't work. What will happen will happen ~ and you'll find some local party committees bringing in NEW voters, and some freezing them out of the party. Their own leadership elites will drag them elsewhere ~ probably to a Peronist type movement which intrigues with both major parties.
Remember, if nothing else, the hispanic criminal class shows them to be as resourceful and motivated as any other group in this country ~ these guys are not docile once they find out what the normal rate of pay really is.
