Benghazi BS and the Democrats' dead horse
American Thinker ^ | October 25, 2015 | Fred Bindewald

Posted on 10/25/2015 11:51:49 AM PDT by grundle

Paraphrasing Ben Shapiro, Hillary's most obvious lies during her testimony on Thursday, Oct. 22 included: 1) still claiming that the Benghazi attack had something to do with the YouTube video; 2) stating that she had not used Sidney Blumenthal as an advisor for official business (against Obama's wishes) and that his emails were unsolicited; 3) insisting (again) that she had been fully transparent about her emails; and 4) suggesting that Chris Stevens, the dead ambassador, was responsible for his own death, while pretending to care about him and the others. These despicable, bald-faced lies lend a lot a credence to the witch hypothesis.

Charles Krauthammer commented on Thursday evening (while the hearing was still in session) that “[w]e're not going to get the facts; we're not going to get the real story underlying it. We're living in an age where what you say and its relation with the facts is completely irrelevant.” All too often, that's true. And it's very sad.

While some level of obfuscating, misleading, and intentional lying has always been a part of our political landscape, it has arguably never been so predominant as it is in today's Democratic Party. I would urge the reader to check out an internet blogger's extensive list of “1,150 well sourced examples of Obama's lying, law breaking, corruption, cronyism, hypocrisy, waste, etc.”

The items listed vary in importance, but they are indeed well-documented and serve to demonstrate Krauthammer's point in a most indisputable way. Facts are facts. It's too bad they seem to be taking a back seat to radical leftist ideology and tactics.

We must continue to seek truth as to how well our government is “serving” us. What's the alternative?

Our overlords can break whatever laws they want and it won’t matter. That’s what being an overlord means.

Obama, Clinton........they are your masters. And there is nothing you or I can do about it.

All of this theater is meaningless. The sooner you accept your lot in life as serf, the better.

Also remember, the ridiculous imbecile socialist Bernie Sanders called for an end to the investigation into her email fiasco and lawbreaking. Neither of them is fit for ANY elected office, much less POTUS. Thanks grundle.

This plus the IRS whitewash that no one is talking about.

Human nature is clear though. The government is made up of human beings, so it is ultimately controlled by human nature.

And human nature tells us this: they will push it further, and further.

At some point, they will go after the judicial branch, if they haven’t already.

At some point, they will not keep it a secret any longer. They will start to brag about their immunity to the law.

They probably won’t brag too much until they have taken our guns.

Hillary doesn't really expect her critics to believe her lies. And doesn't really care if they do or don't.

She sticks with her lies for at least two reasons:

  1. No critic or prosecutor will have an admission by her that she lied or didn't tell the truth as she believed it at the time she told the lie.

    As the Clintons well know, it is a criminal offense to lie to law enforcement or to lie under oath.
    It is not a criminal offense to make an error in judgement or to believe the wrong thing as seen by your critics.

  2. She gives her supporters their talking points - something to hang their hats on.
    A way to keep the True Believers believing.

Did you see the movie THE UNTOUCHABLES?

Al Capone had no problem committing crimes. He had no problem with his underlings committing crimes.

But Al Capone beat one of his underlings to death with a baseball bat in front of lots of people because the underling had committed a crime against him.

The Democrats have no problem with lying and thieving and killing if it benefits them.

But this Benghazi and Middle East stuff might affect them.

A nuclear weapon going off might kill them or their kin or their voters.

Now, that is important to them.

The Democrats on the panels have the audacity to point the finger at Republicans and say they are always playing politics. Democrats and Obama play politics with every move they make, even if it jeopardizes the safety of our military and our citizens.

It’s over. We need to get working on the next Republican President. Hillary really changed the perception in one 11-hour session. We can write articles all day long but that doesn’t change anything. It’s done. Cooked. Done. We HAVE to get a Republican in office.

Don’t count on it. Hillary is a pathologica liar. At the hearing she had a room full of Democrats who lie right along with her. She has the news media in her pocket and 50% of the country who will vote for her no matter what she does. Add that to a pissed off GOPe base who will stay home, stir well, and you have Hillary for 8 years. 2016 will be the last chance for the GOPe. The illegals here now and those to follow will cinch a permanent underclass to vote Democrat for generations to come.

I only wish it would be true. Unfortunately, we have an electorate who elected Slick Willy 2X and Obamanation 2X. That same electorate plus an unknown number of illegal voters will vote again in 2016. How do you think those illegals will vote?

The major TV networks, save Fox, may as well be the propaganda arm of the Democrat party. Unfortunately, there are too many Americans today who believe these biased networks. They believe what the media pundits tell them.

Hillary will receive a huge majority of votes from the following groups: blacks, Hispanics, homos, poor, women and other Democrats who are not in the previous groups. It's said that 35% of "Republican" women will vote for Hillary.

It will be a miracle if Hillary is not elected President. Then again, miracles do happen!

Doom!!Gloom!! Halp me!!!

Clinton wins re election with less than 50% of the vote against a Dole in a time of relative peace and prosperity.

The GOP under the GWB years destroyed the GOP name. BHO gets elected. The GOP runs Mitt.BHO gets re elected with fewer votes than in 2008. First time that has happened in modern history as usually a president running a second term gains voters. Everything that was kept a lid on in 2012 is now boiling over. Be it what happened in Benghazi, the economy, Obamacare...

The point is, the American public is worried and angry at DC. Do you know what the number one worry Americans have told pollsters? The economy?Illegal Immigration? The Debt? All those are up there but the number on problem according to polls is government corruption. She is the poster child for that. I'm not saying it's over for her yet. But she is going to have a more difficult time than you're lead to believe

Yet trust in the news media to report the news is at an all time low.

Chin up, my boy!! It ain't over yet

I don't mean to come across as doom and gloom. I would love to see the 2016 vote reflect overwhelming anger at Democrats.

Congress, which is majority Republican, has a 16% approval rating. President Obamanation had as 47% approval rating. These stats reflect where people put the blame! They also show the impact of baised media (not biased polls) and a Republican party that has done little to stop Obama and has been ineffective in its ability to imprison and impeach treasonous liberals.

Congress more often than not has a lower approval rating than the president. The reality is, the public usually, not always, but usually, punishes the party that holds the presidency when things aren't going well. And 2016 isn't against a sitting incumbent.

The GOP shares the blame, also. But the country is looking for change from the BHO.
