don-o, weve had lots of John Deans come and go. The media only cares if theyve got the goods on Republicans.
The whole Nixon thing was really a successful coup against the Republicans anyway. The affair was tame compared to the crap that went on (and continues) in the subsequent democrat White Houses.
But I do think the chance for sullying Rodham is what matters most about the scandal at this point. As the 2016 heir apparent, I think she has some dubious marks against her as it is. Benghazi could be the wedge issue that makes her a loser in the general election, swaying just enough of the idiot vote away from her.
She’s the one who made the 3 am phone call ad and look how easily Benghazi can be used to undercut her CIC credentials.
Plus, as bad as she looks these days (I don’t like disparaging someone’s looks even a vile commie but facts are facts) I see a bloc of reality TV voters out there probably ready to find some excuse for voting against her.
Let’s not kid ourselves, sex sells and she’s a mess.
So people were not rescued because of Obama political reasons. People died because it was more important for Obama to be elected. The media went along with it too because they are Democrat Party soldiers who march to the beat of the Obama Machine drum. Republicans in Washington sit back and watch the Obama parade march on.
So Pickering can’t be bothered to testify before Congress, but can go on the Sunday shows?..
Notice Patreus is keeping his mouth shut too. Maybe some new news will be revealed on the today’s Sunday Talk Shows.
Obama will sing “We didn’t start the fire.”
There is a shoe yet to drop - gun running to the Syrian so-called rebels. The hearing edged up to that in asking why there was even this facility in Benghazi. All they got was that it was at Hillary's behest.
Curious that ABC’s John Karl breaks the news about the email edits..but isn’t on the show this morning.
The rumor was Stevens was gay and sodomized before his death. I think Beck said he was raped before his death.
Appears so. Then he only goes to the “friendlies”.
All true, but it looks like they may have overplayed their hand. If played right there could be some blowback.
BTW: I will finish “The Republic of Texas 2022” this week. I would like around 10 people to review it.
If you want FReepmail me your email address and I will send a PDF of it when it is finished for you to review.
It is Atlas Shrugs meets Star Wars.
Pray for America to Wake Up
OOoops...Issa saying that the CIA is being played by the administration.
Issa strong on the get go...
Ooops..”.Petreus said what the administration said what the administration told him to say!”
David Gregory trying to blame this on David Petraeus and the CIA.
Issa pointing out that they should have started with the fact witness — the ambassador — we are under attack
Pretty good back and forth on FOX who had Susan Rice lying right after the Benghazi attack. Adam Smith, lying RAT-Wash, who originally contradicted Rice, reverses himself and is now defending the administration.
Ambassador Pickering will be up next after Issa to spin for NBC.
Issa saying”We want the facts.”
“They were covering up an easy attack on the consulate.”Now
They are using BUSH to say he was afraid of “congressional intrusion”
Yeah...now he throws in Fast and Furious!!Go Issa.
Hmmmm. Counsel to the President? Lots of those? I musta missed that...
Regardless, I consider impeachment of The Dear Leader a remote possibility and a potential distraction at this point. The realistic hope is to remove the Dem control of the Senate while holding the House in 2014. Crippling Hillary for 2016 is icing on the cake.
My wife and I are spending Mother’s day with the kids in Key West, went fishing yesterday at the Dry Tortugas scored big! We had tuna and grouper for dinner last night. Looks like the Great Gatsby in 3D later today(no more rum runners)Happy Mothers’ Day to all Freeper moms!!
The only Pickering I’ve ever had any use for fit in the tone arm of my Thorens turntable.
Susan Rice plainly said she based her false “video protest” narrative on the CIA talking points. Problem is of the twelve versions of the talking points, NONE mentioned any video any where. Obama and Clinton both also used the same made up story (including to the families of the fallen). All three are liars and no amount of poltical tap dancing can change that.
The Clinton Machine will not go quietly. They will play payback with Obama, if they are thrown under the bus. There may be a war brewing within the Democrat Party.
