Women, blacks, hispanics, even asians have all fled the party. You never had the youth. What's left?

so I guess you will get the socialist utopia you want.
but lets get back to the fact that Hillary really screwed up and cost our diplomat his life
There was nothing unique about the events in Benghazi to warrant the attention it has gotten. It was tragic that people died. But there was never any evidence of deviation from normal procedure, not because of malice or incompetence. The rallying cry about the president intentionally misleading people by talking about a youtube video was stupid the moment someone said it. They said what they thought was the truth, and corrected the message as soon as they had better information. If there was anything important to discover, it would have been found out within a week. Instead, we've had a year and a half of a partisan witch hunt and conspiracy theories. Right wingers have been so desperate to prove that Obama is something evil or duplicitous, they want a scandal or a conspiracy so badly that they'll make one up.

But according to the right, Obama is a dumb ass.
I should print and frame your post, it pretty much covered everything. :applaudHa ha ha...yes, you definitely touched upon the most interesting aspect of schizophrenic Right.
"Obama is an affirmative action idiot who would never have made it into Harvard if he was white..." But yet he's also a mastermind, and a manipulator with Jedi Knight mind control powers that only the Fox News crowd can break through to get to the truth.
"Obama is a wimp in mom jeans..." But yet he is also an evil dictator who strikes people dead with drones, when he is not sicking the IRS on his enemies.
"Obama is a Socialist, Marxist who wants to destroy capitalism..." But yet, he is also a crony capitalist who paves the way for his well-connected friends in the 1%, like George Soros, to make billions while the middle class dwindles.
"Obama is a tool of the homosexual agenda who gives stuff to minorities, especially free contraception to women..." But yet, Obama is also a secret Muslim.
According to the Right, the man has more dichotomies than a Siamese Twin.
Prove it, please. Link a source that credibly tells me that congress cannot just form its own committee of majority members and call itself anything it wishes, including "select committee". Until there, our discussion is going nowhere.
Don't you dare even try to play that empathy card here, sir. Chris Stevens was born in my hometown, he is buried in my hometown, and his grieving parents... who begged that their son's death not be used for partisan politics... still live in my hometown. Do not even go there.
I've changed my mind. Don't bother finding a source for your silly allegations about "select committees" being so very "special." We're done here.
No one on the Right cared about the thousands of American Soldiers killed in Iraq searching for WMD that did not exist. So, don't cry to me now about 4 dead Americans in Libya. It's crap, and we know it.
Why are you interjecting other travesties to justify finding answers to this one? Isn't about time we all demanded honest and transparent government. After all it is men and women like my own brothers and step dad who have served in these types of missions. just looking for answers.
Because I find it a bit hypocritical for those who refused to investigate 911 or the false claims of WMD, instances where thousands died do to inept leadership and outright lies, to be up in arms because four people died in Libya.
Look closer. THere were a lot of Dems who voted no. ANd, Bush refused to testify t the 911 hearings unless accompanied by daddy Dick Cheney.No one to my knowledge refused to investigate 911, as my memory serves it was fully investigated and a bipartisan commission filed a lengthy report. False claims of wmd's were also investigated. There were also reports on this and an admission by the Bush / Cheney team that their intel was wrong. If you'll remember all the congressional dem leaders voted for the authorization of force based on the same intel.
This select committee is a farce. It's aimed at the base. Everyone not brainwashed by Fox News knows this.However neither of those instances have any part to play with this investigation. Let's get the questions answered honestly so we can have an accountable and transparent government. Is that such a bad thing?

Do you remember the list of unanswered questions I asked in an earlier post? If it were a farce you'd be able to answer those questions; but no, you said you don't care. That means the investigation is valid and any attempt to downplay the importance of the select committee is an attempt to obstruct.
Crazed Muslims attacked a US installation in Libya. Call out the dogs for 18 months. Are you serious?
This crap has been investigated to death. You guys and your show trials.
Like I said, I am happy the GOP is doing this. Impeachment cost the GOP the majority and sent Gingrich packing. I imagine this nonsense will result in a few GOP heads rolling as well.
Have at it. I'll be laughing my ass off.
What if it is found that this was an illegal gun running operation that had guns going to rebels in Siria with ties to Al-Queda? What if we find that the video story was cover for the gun operation? Will you be willing to change your mind then?
Syria.
OK. Sorry about the misspelling I made it through my degree using spell check. What about an answer to the question?
The question matches the spelling: Nonsensical rantings.
You do know how far Syria is from Libya. Correct?
Alex Jones?Just for kicks see below links, who knows the truth? maybe a few more questions are in order: Btw, did you know that transport ships were invented a very long time ago?

2. Was Syrian weapons shipment factor in ambassador
Evidence gathered in Syria, along with flight-control data and interviews with militia members, smugglers, rebels, analysts and officials in several countries, offers a profile of a complex and active multinational effort, financed largely by Qatar, to transport arms from Libya to Syria’s opposition fighters. Libya’s own former fighters, who sympathize with Syria’s rebels, have been eager collaborators.
“It is just the enthusiasm of the Libyan people helping the Syrians,” said Fawzi Bukatef, the former leader of an alliance of Libyan brigades who was recently named ambassador to Uganda, in an interview in Tripoli.
As the United States and its Western allies move toward providing lethal aid to Syrian rebels, these secretive transfers give insight into an unregistered arms pipeline that is difficult to monitor or control...
For Russia — which has steadfastly supplied weapons and diplomatic cover to President Bashar al-Assad of Syria — this black-market flow is a case of bitter blowback. Many of the weapons Moscow proudly sold to Libya beginning in the Soviet era are now being shipped into the hands of rebels seeking to unseat another Kremlin ally.

:lol:
BTW, the arms shipments have been going the other way...probably for decades.

Since the Syria-Libya axis is and has been forever in the middle of the Russian-US cold war conflict, I'd simply say you are probably not up on the nuance, ie: you simply react to the bright shiny object Fox News puts in front of your nose. "Syria gave Libya American guns!"Why lol at Alex Jones? I don't know who alex jones is but if there is something wrong with the article point it out. I'm not a fan of those who dismiss info based on who relays it. Any source can have good info.
Now, you suggested that my post was not worthy of consideration for suggesting that weapons could have been run from Libya to Syria, citing the distance. Now you post a link and say this has been happening a long time except in the other direction. Do you understand how ridiculous it is to suggest that shipments only flow one way and that in the other direction it's too far?
Like I said, we don't know the truth here; why not ask the questions and demand honest and transparent answers?
