The House voted Thursday to establish a select committee on Benghazi, formally launching a comprehensive and contentious investigation aimed at answering lingering questions about what happened before, during and after the terror attack that killed four Americans.
The House voted 232-186 to approve the panel. The vote breakdown was 225 Republicans and 7 Democrats in favor, with 186 Democrats voting against the measure.
The vote was never in doubt, as majority Republicans largely were united in support of the committee ever since House Speaker John Boehner called for it last week. Unclear is whether Democrats will boycott the investigation itself.

OK you honorable congressmen/women, there is no turning back.
Full speed ahead unto the truth!
I hope so because McCarthy was dead on the mark.
Those dems must be confident there are very few Americans in their districts.
Wait till the Dems start sounding like Bible clinging tea partiers over the ‘out of control spending’.

I made a comment in a related thread a few days ago that Gowdy should require every committee member’s commentary and/or question to be limited to 25 words or less.
Otherwise, we will again see the Dems grandstanding with their filibuster comments and questions.
Gowdy can stop any grandstanding in it’s tracks should he choose to do it.
You simply investigate his involvement and thus strip him of authority to prosecute an issue he is involved in.
And then you investigate his successor for illegal orders from the boss.
“McCarthy.” Cummings tossed that grenade during House debate. It was a dud. And isn’t it grand how the lefties, who are so gracious with other people’s money, are now so concerned about $40 million spent so far on this investigation. The only time they care about spending is when it is for investigations of their gross malfeasance.
Thanks...

No surprise 6 of these fear for their reelection.
Thanks for posting the Dems voting for it, therightliveswithus.
Thanks. FReeper “Therightliveswithus” just posted it.
25 words or less? You know the Dims can’t count. Any reasonable restriction on the Dims will be labeled as racist.
1 1/2 years too late.
Good week...the summer of recovery is going to be interesting.
And thanks for your comments on them. Well done.
Have an aid record/log the first couple outbursts and let them slide. On the third, list in detail the previous outbursts and tell them that the next will carry a contempt charge of it’s own.
Alternatively, tell them the next gets them removed permanently and REPLACED by a Republican.
Do like Pelosi. Make the rules. She was not afraid to wield her power.
