The "change channel", and "mute" buttons serve me well. Off button works nicely too!

The Benghazi hearings are going on right now

Friend said they were on Fox News, I'm watching on C-span.org.

In case anyone was interested.

Prediction: With the focus on during and post- attack, some folks are really gonna be unhappy when Eric Nordstrom's testimony gets on the record.

I concur, if the whole truth should ever come out, this may go down in history as the biggest scandal ever.

Clinton's Benghazigate

I got this pic from my sister yesterday and thought it was fitting for what is going on right now in regards to the Benghazi hearings. Show the hypocrisy in Clinton and all those that think Benghazi isn't important. Nothing to see here, move along. Utterly pathetic!

Good point.

The MSM will have to be convinced that there's no way to keep covering up and spinning for the the dems before they jump on it. I'm hoping ABC has already reached that point.

You're right, it was a long time ago, but the fact that she was questioning a Republican President then about something that only involved burglary, not a diplomat getting killed, but now doesn't see "what the point is" when it is a Democratic President is where the hypocrisy lies.

I agree, I hope the MSM realizes that they can't ignore this anymore, and tries to get to the bottom of this.

The MSM will ignore any stories of the ultra left until it's too late. What I mean by too late is when the socialist actually vote themselves control of the MSM. 11 million future democrats are waiting to know if and when they will have voting rights, NY is also about to allow illegals the "right" to vote.

Those that don't see this train wreak in the making are the same ones that didn't see the housing market collapse coming and the havoc it had on the economy.

The housing market collapse was perpetrated by democrats and that ruined the economy for years, this takeover by the left will destroy the nation.

Sure let's give 11-20 million illegal's voting rights, what could go wrong?

I heard the same thing with respect to NY allowing illegals to vote in local elections. Didn't realize that some cities in MD already do... guess, I shouldn't be surprised. Truly a sad state of affairs.

People need to READ the proposed reform and ask how will these changes solve the problem. What is the bottomline financial impact to the country and the workforce. Many of the proposed solutions are already in place but not enforced. Also, the Secretary of DHS is given way too much latitude. To give more power to an individual in charge of HOMELAND who releases illegal criminals back into the American landscape prior to sequestration cuts, in my view is stupid on top of stupid.

With regard to Benghazi. Justice will not be served if left up to the politicians. We truly need more individuals to step forward who can dispel mistruths. I am grateful for the duty, honor and courage shown by Mr. Thompson, Mr. Hicks and Mr. Nordstrom.

A SORRY STATE OF AFFAIRS

What is even worse than illegal aliens voting, dead people voting, dogs voting, cats voting, individual voters voting numerous times is the suppression of the military vote. That has been a problem for quite a few years; however, these last 2 elections were probably the most egregious.

Of course, I'm sure that I'm not telling you anything you don't already know!
