What difference does it make now?

It is interesting and very revealing about what you think about things by how you decribe others motives. My interest right now is getting to the truth, which is where you should be but you're thinking about politices and assume that we are too. Now anyone would be an idiot if they didn't think of how this would bode in the future but as a motive..... This is about the truth and punishing the guilty so that something this cowardly never happens again.

You would also like us to forget that some of us have been on this story since September of last year. Many of you have tried to deflect, lie, and muddy the waters so this story doesn't see the light of day. It is hypocritical of you now to say that there is no story or would you care to explain the effort that you have put in to stop this day from happening. You're just plain fucked now. The truth is starting to get out and it doesn't look very good. So keep squawking and bitching. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

If so, I find it amusing that you claim that "I" am "just plain fucked" now. I'm certainly no fan of either Obama or Hillary, both of whom have demonstrated manifest and obvious failures. If either or both of them take on water as a result of this fiasco, that's just fine and dandy with me.

It's just that I think far too much bandwidth has been devoted to this issue, and to the virtual exclusion of almost everything else. Given that we've seen no effective leadership on economic issues -- from either party -- I don't think Benghazi-related matters are at the forefront of most Americans' concerns.

Just for starters:

Nothing has been done to address the out-of-control growth of health care spending. The "reform" plan passed three years ago simply seeks to expand a badly broken, massively expensive, terribly dysfunctional system. I know few people who believe that implementation isn't going to be chaotic and very expensive. Peter Orszag told us several years ago that the new legislation would "bend the cost curve." It does that, all right -- but in the wrong direction!

Nothing has been done about financial reform. The TBTF banks are about 60% bigger than they were in 2007, and a lot of community banks are being virtually starved out of business. Dodd-Frank did far more harm than good, and instead of fixing anything we've simply built a bridge to the next financial crisis. Among other things, in my opinion, we need a new version of Glass-Steagall, updated for the needs of a 21st-century financial system.

Nothing is being done to address the desperate need for entitlement reform. Neither party appears likely to address issues such as the need for means-testing, for example.

Tax reform is desperately needed. Our code is simply a national embarrassment.

Then there's monetary policy, trade policy, various regulatory headwinds, etc., etc. The list of structural impediments to robust, sustained economic growth goes on and on. And none of them are being addressed by either of our dysfunctional parties, both of which are only interested in serving up demagoguery.

The Benghazi issue would probably work well for Republicans if more of them were perceived to be statesmen rather than political hacks only interested in scoring victories over the opposing party. But in that regard they're no better than Obama, who obviously is only interested in the same, and has no intention of making any tough decisions or undertaking any serious efforts to fix or reform anything.

But look at their approval polling numbers lately. I think that's why Republicans are likely to simply shoot themselves in the foot over this issue.

I believe that a large and growing number of people would prefer to see congress aggressively address all of our myriad problems, not just Benghazi.

sorry CM but I was forced

Yes, Carter lost an embassy, a country (Afghanistan), a king (the Shah), an Olympics, and he respect of the world.

Capt. Midnight...excuse me did you write something? To respond though, the country is hurting on all fronts but why? Right now the people are in competition with government. Governor is attempting to take more control of the people with expected results. How are they doing it? Lies, deceit, more lies, etc Benghazi is about lies. Black lies. Lies that destroy the innocent and promote the guilty. Give Clinton credit, he just lied to save his ass and he shouldn't have done it under oath. Obamillary (give me an award for being first) Hillobama? is trying to save both of themselves for politics and they are willing to let people die and to ruin people willing to tell the truth. These are truly black lies of the worst sort.

Some here want to blame the GOP and a possible Hillary campaign in 2016 as the goal of the investigation. Try to think though, could you ever trust Hillary or Obama to do the right thing at any time if they can't do the right thing in Benghazi.

Good point, JD.

good point JD ?


BAAAAAWWWWWWAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAH

Geez, CBJ7. I didn't expect YOU to get it. You're an Obamoron.

I got the point/s

neither of you two idiots are wearing a cap, how can anyone miss?

Not that I personally would enjoy pruning my fingers by latching on to a federal government hand out. But, isn't this a state-by-state issue; I mean, who is getting this health care reformed money? I'm a couple of school grades behind Gen X, and admittedly ADD among other things, so pardon my sophomoric questions. BUT, they are questions- asked by someone who truly is not afraid to say "I don't know".
I believe Medicare will be there for me (as it has for my father who STILL hasn't stopped working ) , about as much as I believe in Social Security.
And Aids is not an Old-Testament disease; as are the others on the five- panel test..
But no worries; let's just keep throwing billions at a polio vaccine!!!

Benghazi Shpenghazi.
