As Benghazi Drags on, and on, and on...

The New York Times - ... Mrs. Clinton used her time in the witness chair to chide the Republican-led committee for what she called a failure to pursue a bipartisan search for the truth. In her opening statement, and later in response to prodding by friendly Democratic lawmakers, the former secretary of state said investigations of previous tragedies were handled cooperatively by both parties.

“That’s what happened during the Reagan administration, when Hezbollah attacked our embassy,” Mrs. Clinton said, citing similar bipartisanship around investigations under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. “I would like us to get back to those times.”

After a series of questions by Republicans focused on what kind of communications she had had on security in Benghazi, Representative Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California, accused them of pursuing a kind of prosecution against Mrs. Clinton in an attempt to damage her presidential campaign.

“I think the core theory is this — that you deliberately interfered with security in Benghazi and that resulted in people dying,” Mr. Schiff told Mrs. Clinton. “I think that is the case they want to make, and notwithstanding how many investigations we’ve had that have found absolutely no merit to that, that is the impression they wish to give.”


Sane folks continue to wonder just what the hell has happened to the GOP. Is it hypocrisy? Is it stupidity? Hate for H.R. Clinton? Fear they are becoming irrelevant? What?

Personally I vote for #1 and #2. How about you?

    I may be a bit partisan, but Hillary looked like the only adult in the room.

    HRC will likely come through this and on to the next republican manufactured scandal. And I'm certainly no fan with a bias for HRC.

    Again, the TGOPers snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.

    Was the victory they were plotting for ever in the realm of possibility? I think not.

    From Mediaite:

    Senate Democrats: GOP Should Pay Back "Every Penny" Spent on Benghazi Committee... "Due to the political nature of the committee, we believe it is inappropriate that a reported 4.7 million taxpayer dollars were used to finance its operations and that the RNC subsequently orchestrated numerous fundraising opportunities in its wake”, [a letter sent by Senate Dems to the RNC] reads.

    That of course will go nowhere Dervish. You do realize that, right?

      Yes. Congressional Repubs have a LONG history of spending large amounts of taxpayer money "investigating" the Clintons. The purpose of the letter was to make a political point only. After the failure of the Benghazi "investigation" they're going to "investigate" Planned Parenthood. More taxpayer money put to "good" use.

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

When and How Will it End?

We have some Americans in our population who have difficulty speaking a coherent sentence. We have many who cannot construct a complete and proper sentence. Yet we find the time and the money to educate youth in Arabic and Arabic culture. Mind you this is a Federal Grant program and limited to only five select school districts. At least for now.

Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...
