The day the Republican house impeached him every Democrat walked out. Man Alive they had the senate on a fast track to remove Clinton from office till billionaire publisher Larry Flynt dug up abortions, daliences, etc. on the Republicans and the newly elected speaker of the house Bob Livingston had to resign and Henry Hyde didn't run again after their affairs were reported. Turned out that rep Bob Barr had paid for an abortion for his first wife after standing on his soap box screaming pro-life for his whole career. The best part is that Flynt told them all that he had other things he would release if they removed Clinton from office. Guess What Sport's Fans?? The senate did not remove him from office and during his final year his approval rating rose to the mid 60's.
Bottom line is that Republicans are sore losers and since they've lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections they're boiling over. Benghazi is a tempest in a tea pot and the people who were killed were drawing big salaries plus hazardous duty pay for every month they served. They went to one of the most dangerous places in the world volunteerily and were smart enough to know why the pay was that good. Like other Americans I feel sorry for those who died and their friends and families but how quick we forget. George Bush farted around getting some tax cuts for the wealthy passed and 9/11 was no Benghazi....that's the bastard who should have been impeached. The WTC had already been hit once in 1993 and Bin Laden had been quoted as saying he was wanting to use passenger jets as weapons and the hijackers were in America receiving training on...get this, taking off and flying but did not take the training on how to land. The FBI and CIA had both been alerted of these facts but Bush got his tax cuts."

I appreciate it. Usually any more than two lines around here is rare and when they see one they automatically ignore it. Recalling the names and verifying things took me about thirty minutes so I'm grateful for the acknowledgement.
Well I don't think we'll see Rep Gowdy's questioning of Hicks many places. He pretty much spells out Rice as the scumbag liar she is. I wonder if she will plead the 5th before testifying to committee. Or maybe she'll have one of those fainting spells like hillary did?
These hearings are not receiving the attention we were lead to expect. With the hype leading up to them, one expected the lid to blow off the proverbial pot. "Whistleblowers" , secret e mails, all manner of supposed "evidence of cover up, was to be forthecoming. It seems Jody Arias is much more important.
Media is little more than an animated gossip column any more. Doesn't matter what outlet. I was, genuinely interested, in tbese hearings. I do believe something was totally wrong with what bappened in Benghazi. I suppose we will see.
Why aren't you interested in the questions that were asked you know like why didn't she even speak with Hicks who was the senior guy on scene before running off blathering on five talk shows about youtube videos??
So Rice just used any old "talking points" after a situation like this? Are you kidding me?

Accusing me of "phony outrage" ? LOL..you're the one who seems to be upset over questioning Obama's whereabouts that night.
Hell...on 9-11 Bush and Rumsfeld disappeared.....or was in Cheney? The military couldn't even get acknowledgemnt or authority to shoot down one of the passenger jets if they saw it headed for a target. The first military jets which were scrambled headed east over the Atlantic.
And the local militia informed the State Dept they would no longer protect the Ambassador.
So they were operating with 2 security people at Benghazi.
Stevens brought 3 more with him. Sounds awfully light given the compound had numerous previous incidents reported.
Which I believe is why Hicks said they planned on holding off on any public functions until Stevens was ready to leave and limited the time Sevens would be using the facility.
