Liberals Beg Pelosi To Not Appoint Democrats To Benghazi Committee
The Daily Caller ^ | May 5, 2014 | Alex Pappas

Speaker of the House John Boehner has ordered the establishment of a new special committee to investigate the 2012 attacks on Americans in Benghazi — but some liberals don’t want any Democrats to take part in the hearings.

“Member of Congress told me she will urge Nancy Pelosi to appoint NO Democrats to Special Benghazi Committee,” liberal talk radio host Bill Press wrote on Twitter on Monday. “She’s right!”

On Monday, Boehner announced that he is tapping South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy to serve as chairman of the select committee hearings.

“With four of our countrymen killed at the hands of terrorists, the American people want answers, accountability, and justice,” Boehner said Monday. “Trey Gowdy is as dogged, focused, and serious-minded as they come.”

Boehner has long resisted calls from members of his party to establish a select committee — he has said the investigations going on in other committees are adequate — but said last week he decided a select committee was needed after determining that the Obama administration had withheld documents from a congressional subpoena....

The fact that this is playing out in public tells me that they couldn't care less what we think.

I firmly believe that has been the case for the last couple of years at the very least.

“Member of Congress told me she will urge Nancy Pelosi to appoint NO Democrats to Special Benghazi Committee...”

Proving, PROVING, the need for a Special Prosecutor.

The sad fact is that not participating actually plays right into these leftwing agitators' agenda. Our system relays on all parties having the integrity and honor to see the process to its conclusion, regardless of the political consequences.

If they don't participate it all collapses.

These leftwing nut bars want to destroy the system we have anyway and rebuild it into something more to their totalitarian tastes. So of course they won't play along.

The American people did not give 2 ***** about Rev Wright, they cared NOT that he/Obama voted against giving aid to a baby that survived an abortion

At least a small Majority of the County have no respect for God/Christ

But we need to have the hearings nevertheless

I think it goes clear back to the Whitewater days.

It most certainly went back to the Waco hearings. They just flipped off the American public on that one. We killed em, so what. Now, here’s your promotions.

Its a legitimate function of government only proves that they have no interest in playing a part in it.

Before its done, I expect to hear democrats claiming that they were shut out of the process.

of course liberals don’t care what we think..this all happened on Obama’s watch, therefore in their sick minds, these four brave men got what they deserved..remember, liberals only care about murder, droning, and water boarding when a Republican is in office, when a liberal is in office they can slaughter whoever they want

Funny how they understand that complete non-participation of the opposing party threatens legitimacy in this case, but when it comes to Obamacare, they’re fine with having rammed it through with not one Republican in agreement.

Bill Press; Another leftist nutcase posing as a newsman.

Nancy Pelosi: corrupt land speculator with inside information who was Democrat whorehouse Majority Speaker.

Don’t let the Demos appoint anyone to the “House Select Committee on the Democrats Cover-up of the Massacre in Benghazi and Subsequent Liars Convention”

Some Democrats who would make such a Committee interesting:

Rep. Bernie Thompson - I see white crackers!

Rep. ?? - If I join the committee, will the furniture tip over just like Guam?

Rep. Maxine Waters - Republicans - they’re all crack pushers.

Rep. Guttierez - “Where the Hispanics be”?

Rep. Alan Grayson - Can’t join the Committee. Too busy beating my wife.

Rep. Cummins - “Hey, Another committee I can disrupt”. Choose me! Choose me!

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Shitz - “There wasn’t any Benghazi incident. You just made it up to affect the elections.

Rep. Sheila Lee-Jackson - “Blame it on Bush. I’m from Texas. I kknow that he did it. And no, my hair isn’t tied too tight. I just like to look weird.

The Republicans would be smart to pursue the military aspect of this day. As a vet I know that you never leave your fellowman behind. There was a reason that these men did not count. Veterans and military belong to both parties and will be interested more if they knew that they left these men when they could have possibly saved them. The least they should have done was tried.

Let her play her Marxist games and go find the truth without these clowns. Wish they would have sat out on Obamacare.

Pray America wakes up

As much as I’d like to believe that, I don’t think it’s the slam drunk you think it’s going to be.
