I've been seeing a lot of theories lately about the veritable avalanche of scandals dropping from the Obama administration. Some posit that the administration itself is leaking these blockbuster revelations in order to push more damaging scandals off the front page, and off the public's radar.
I'm not so sure, although poster txhurl offered one of the better theories I've seen, on another thread tonight.
He posits that Camp Hillary may be behind these leaks, as no one but her could benefit as much by getting the Benghazi scandal off the front pages, and off the public's radar.
Possible -- possible...but, let us not forget that some of what's coming out, casts a severely negative light on her tenure as SofS. Are we seeing an internal political war, using scandalous leaks as missiles? Perhaps, but I'm not convinced that's the case.
In my view, there's every possibility that it could have started that way, but it's spiraled out of control, and like a box of firecrackers going off one by one, it's taken on a life of its own. One points a finger at this one, who then causes a counter leak in retaliation, which injures a third and fourth party, who then fire their own fusillades of return fire, which then lights up a battery in a wholly different branch of government, which then causes all sorts of apparatchiks to run for cover while taking their files and hard drives as insurance against attack....ad infinitum.
In my view, the regime isn't leaking these damaging scandals on purpose. I believe we're witnessing the Great Unraveling....the wheels coming off the bus...the rats jumping ship....in short, a full blown meltdown of concentrated evil such as this country has never seen before.
It's the Scandalanche.
What's more, it will give her more ammunition (can I use that word?) in her battle to show we need a woman president.
Seriously, it needs to destroy the republican brand, too. Hell, look at how many of them are trying to demonize the leaker and/or minimize/rationalize the overstepping... and it's not like some of them haven't known about domestic spying for years. — no, they are complicit in virtually everything big going down, if not in instigating then in failure to vigorously pursue these contraconstitutional infractions (Fast & Furious springs immediately to mind).
Agreed. Our ranks are filled with back stabbing traitors that need to be rooted out. We need a revolution in the Republican party.
In defense of my fellow Americans, I'll just say that most of them were fooled by slick talking salesmen who lied to get their votes. Most of the turncoats are in Washington - not among the people.
Those aren't the high info libs I'm talking about. You can expect the snooty, university educated, Washington liberal crowd to fully back Obama. They're of the same ilk, and feed from the same trough.
No, I'm talking about average left-of-center Americans who are responsible enough to hold jobs and own property. They may have been university educated too (which is why they're still god-forsaken libs), but they still live in the same world as us. They work and pay taxes. They see the value of their retirement plans dwindling every day. They see the rot and zombie infestation in their neighborhoods. They're worried sick about what's happening to their health care plans. They struggle to keep up with the rising cost of living, just like we do.
It's those people who are beginning to seriously doubt Obama, and are upset at his broken promises. They see the country unraveling, and wonder just what they voted for in the first place.
Oh, don't worry about that the GOP will push Olympia Snowe to counter.
