RAND PAUL TO HILLARY CLINTON: I Would Have Fired You Over Benghazi
Business Insider ^ | 01/23/2013 | Grace Wyler

Posted on 01/23/2013 8:53:49 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul turned the heat up on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Wednesday during her Senate hearing on the Benghazi terrorist attacks, telling her that he would have relieved her from her post if he had been president when the attacks occurred.

"I think it's inexcusable," he said, adding that he takes her stepping down from the Secretary of State post as her accepting "the culpability for the worst tragedy since 9/11."

John McCain plans to ask Hillary for access to the other victims of the attack and why their testimony has not been made public.

I read on Drudge, this morning, that some of the same terrorists that attacked in Benghazi were involved in the Algerian attack. What we haven’t heard is whether the same Saudi weapons, that Obama sent to Benghazi during the Libyan seige, were used in both attacks.

It is my contention that the disposition of those Saudi weapons was the topic of conversation between the ambassador, Chis Stevens, and the Turkish diplomat.

This is nauseating.. Notice how Hillary used the same tactic that 0bama used in the debate? The "C'MON, FOUR PEOPLE ARE DEAD!!!" tactic where phony outrage is used to deflect guilt back on anyone who suggests the 0bama regime LIED TO PROTECT 0BAMA'S RE-ELECTION. 0bama asked Crowley to protect him and "get the transcript" prepared in advance by CBS.. WHAT AN F'ING JOKE.

HOW COME IT'S NOT A COVER-UP WHEN COMMUNISTS DO IT? Wasn't this a COVER-UP? What IS a cover-up, if THIS wasn't a COVER-UP!! I'M SICK OF THE COMMUNISTS GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER!!!!!!

ILLEGAL CIA PRISON AT BENGHAZI? Hmmmmm.. What exactly were those attackers after, hmmmm??? Who are those mystery 37 evacuated survivors that no one has interviewed, hmmmm?

Nixon's men broke into a hotel room at the Watergate Hotel to steal the opposition's campaign strategy DOCUMENT, OMG!!!!! COVER-UP!!!!!

Ha! That was awesome. That took real balls - not one GOPe’er had the courage to say that. He gets my true respect!

The question is this — AFTER ALL THESE PUBLIC TONGUE LASHING, THEN WHAT???

You can’t fire Hillary, she’s leaving.

So? No one gets punished in the end.

What does this entire testimony accomplish?

You are exactly correct - but finding anyone with an R after their name that will actually just say what needs to be said is sweet relief for me.

We can’t win anything trying to win friends from the left - that has been a recipe for disaster. At least Rand Paul said it, and wasn’t afraid of the left hating him. NBC is already attacking him.

Rand Paul looked Medusa right in the eye and nailed her failure as SOS

I just pray that in a fit of remorse, Sen Paul doesn't commit arkanscide. America, now more than ever, needs men like him!

Ron Johnson, my senator, participated in Sub-gate here in WI. under direct orders from Reince, Rove and the GOP-E gang in order to “get rid of” Santorum when he was polling ahead of Mittens.
He and Paul Ryan endorsed Mittens, changing the course of the primary campaign and thus we were left with the RINO loser “I didn’t really want it anyway” Massachusetts liberal as Obunga’s opponent.
Also, he voted Aye to raise our taxes. I have lost faith in Sen. Johnson.

Also I left off her horrible failure in North Korea. They are all her direct responsibility as Secretary of state. NKR is just making NUKES like hotcakes and long range missiles to deliver them here as is IRAN!! Israel is very much abandoned by her State department.
I don’t think ommama has a clue about any of it and just lets her fly everywhere she wants and lets her handle all foreign policy. He plays golf and panders to the parasites with free stuff.The good news is that she got bitch slapped by Senator Paul from Kentucky real bad for dereliction of her responsibility. People died.

I was thinking the same thing. Too many convenient “suicides” and “accidents” lately.

It’s important that we hammer Hilary. 1. so she cannot run for President, but 2. so that she begins to leak the truth.

The truth will wound Obama. If he remains Teflon we’ll remain on the defensive.

So, you are done with Johnson because of what he did to Santorum, who you apparently still worship even though he did the same to Toomey for the sake of Arlen Specter.

I’m sorry, I cannot relate to that. Besides, he’s the best senator Wisconsin has had in this or the last century, regardless of what he did in the primary.

And BTW, Santorum wasn’t winning under any circumstances. So it doesn’t matter.

I’m with you. The most evasive testimony I have ever witnessed. Enough singing her praises and diverting the issues from anything but who is responsible for the deaths. She is one arrogant pos blaming congress for not providing enough money and bringing up 9/11. Disgusting!

Given the above facts, what should the punishment be?

IIRC, the penalty for treason is the death sentence.
