As much as I would like to see Elizabeth Warren with the Democratic Presidential nomination, I strongly suspect that when the smoke clears, Hillary will be the one. At that point we’ll need to circle the wagons around her, because, as much as I’m not happy with Hillary, the Republican nominee, _______ __________, will be infinitely worse. The Republican Benghazi Buttheads are already gearing up.
Anti-Hillary Clinton groups are already going up with television ads centered on Benghazi, the same week that House Republicans’ select committee is holding its first hearing on the attacks.
The Stop Hillary PAC, one of the various groups that has cropped up to fight the Hillary 2016 momentum, will start airing an ad in key primary states on Thursday, MSNBC reported. The PAC is spending $100,000 for the advertising campaign in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina…
…Stop Hillary PAC is chaired by Ted Harvey, a Colorado GOP state senator and former Reagan White House aide. Other officials include Alex Shively, a former aide to Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), and Garrett Marquis, who previously worked on John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign…

Barf Bag Alert!!
These Republicans claim to be bipartisan. That’s true only of you count the InsaniTEA wing as a separate party. I don’t. So no matter how many times their Benghazi lies have been proven false, we’ll just have to keep doing it over and over again!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I agree that Hillary will probably end up being the nominee and if so, we all need to support her. I also think Benghazi will ruin the RepublicanT party because there are some people who possess common sense. I still havve faith in people.
That's a LOT of faith!
~~I feel that as much as Obama has already paved the way for respect for women. Hillary will pay the way for Warren and Julian Castro. It will be time to bridge the past with the future.
As Far as Benghazi. It has been ben a empty shell. Just ask Obama
Mama, that's an excellent point.
The gop/tp do not have a single viable candidate that can match Hillary Clinton’s international experience as First Lady, Secretary of State and U.S. Senator. That said, Benghazi:
Pentagon: Congress’s Benghazi Witch-Hunts Have Cost Millions Of Dollars
Posted on March 26, 2014 at 10:17 am
“The Department of Defense has spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours trying to fulfill requests from Congress’s six investigations into Benghazi, according to a letter from the Pentagon to a top-ranking Democrat.”
““The Department has devoted thousands of man-hours to responding to the numerous and often repetitive congressional requests regarding Benghazi,” Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs Elizabeth King said in a letter to Congress dated earlier this month. That estimate includes “time devoted to approximately 50 congressional hearings, briefings, and interviews which the Department has led or participated in.” While no total calculation has been completed yet, King estimated that total cost of compliance with Congress’ requests to the Pentagon and other agencies runs “into the millions of dollars.””
“But it appears, even though the American public long ago stopped believing Republican claims of some kind of cover-up related to Benghazi, that there is no sign of the investigations to end.”

So much for being fiscal conservatives! With all the public money that the Republicanus/Teabaggers have spent on DOMA, the repeal of Obamacare, Benghazi to date, they are anything but fiscal conservatives. If I were American, I would be pissed off at the Republicanus/Teabaggers for spending my money on partisan issues.
Thanks Jim.
No doubt that will insist on recovering that wasted money by deducting it from school lunches, but only in poor school districts.
The continued hammering on Benghazi, the PAC (maybe the first of many?) nominally chaired by a Colorado GOP State Senator (see, I told you the Koch Brothers were working hard in State legislatures), the brouhaha, all point to one thing. The GOP thinks Hillary can win. If we can figure out a way to do it, our best option is probably to make noises to let them think their distraction is working, while actually ignoring them and staying focused. I am not crazy about Hillary either, but name one Republican who wouldn't be ten thousand times worse.
That's easy Pat. They will think their distraction is working, even if we can prove it isn't.
Love the cartoon TC!
Thanks!
A governors aide supposedly rigged some stuff to cause traffic jams near some bridge in New Jersey. Democrats say there must be hundreds of investigations, committees, reports etc.
Hillary (and Obama) ship weapons to 'moderate' rebels in Syria, which of course don't exist and the weapons are taken by Islamic State, and are responsible for multiple deaths in Benghazi. Democrats say it's nothing and no inquiries needed.
Talk about priorities!
Impeach Barorge W. Obushama
Welcome Mark. 🙂
Actually there are moderate Syrian rebels. We don't have the intelligence assets to identify them outrselves, but Jordon does and Jordanian intelligence is assisting them, As for the rest, so you get your info from Faux Noise?
They let up on Benghazi while they were fighting the ACA. Now that it is reasonably successful they are falling back on the only thing they "think" they can use. I agree with Joanne D., they think Hilary can win so they are attacking her.
I agree.
I can understand having an investigation, one investigation, into Benghazi to get answers to questions about what happened. But this ongoing Republicanus/Teabagger litany about Benghazi is disrespectful to those who died. This is nothing more than partisan politics at its worst.
Hillary has not even officially declared herself ready for prime time, yet the Republicanus/Teabaggers are going after her like Edward Scissorhands cutting paper snowflakes.
Too bad there are so many sheeple playing follow the leader instead of thinking for themselves. No person, no political party is perfect, but the Republicanus/Teabaggers are the devil incarnate.
The investigation by the House Intelligence Committee, Chaired and dominated by Republicans, concluded that there is no scandal, no cover-up. and nop culpable acts ny the Obama administration.
