House Speaker John Boehner is facing mounting pressure to create a special or select committee to investigate the Benghazi terror attacks in which four Americans were killed.

The House resolution to form a special committee now has at least 139 co-sponsors who are putting Boehner in the difficult position of leading efforts to get the White House to release emails on Benghazi-gate but not agreeing to the demands of many rank-and-file Republicans.

The people who will vote for Hillary won’t care if she had a lobotomy. Her health will not be an issue.

You need to seek out Carny’s job. You are better at fiction by far.

Bottom line. I don’t care what the fanclub chairman thinks. Do you not understand? Cling bitterly to your belief in ‘winning’. Not my problem.

This is undoubtedly all a bit beyond your ability to understand.

John McCain is the RINO asking for a select committee, probably to eliminate the momentum and do a favor for some Democrat constituent who wants to bring in more illegals to pick lettuce or something

Palin, Mark Levin,Congressman Frank Wolf and 62% of House Republicans have called for a Select Committee--are they also RINOs looking to do favors for Democrats?

Congressman Wolf, famously level-headed, highly respected, and one of the longer-serving members of the House, dismisses the notion that serious momentum would be lost by a select committee. In fact, he recently argued that the momentum of what has already been achieved cannot sustain under the current structure of multi-committee Benghazi investigations.

[W]e have the opportunity to bring all of the committees of jurisdiction together, building on what regular order has already accomplished, but cannot sustain or bring to fruition. The committees with primary jurisdiction have a multitude of issues before them ranging from gun control to immigration reform, from the ongoing crisis in Syria to the devastating terrorist attack in Boston. Among competing priorities, Benghazi could get lost in the shuffle. - Congressman Frank Wolf

Read his entire letter to the Speaker on this matter here:Wolf Renews Call For Select Committee On Benghazi In Letter To Boehner

Wolf said on Levin's show this week that Issa, or any of the current committee chairs could easily transition to chair a select committee.

It’s not a hard decision if the GOP wants to use this as a campaign issue,
Instead of actually making hacks pay a price. Bonehead has already proven
He is not interested in making any hack pay a price, because he is a hack, as well.

Yup..they ARE cowards.

As Mark Levin ranted the other night...”They can demand that baseball players HAVE to testify under oath before Congress, but not Hillary!”

Disgusting.

The Democrats are dying off left and right ~ the Republicans have a longer expected lifespan.

It's a race to find and register new voters and the Republicans can win it if they care.

George Bush had 64 million voters show up. McCain had 60 million, and Romney had 61.

So what happened? Why did the Republican party quit finding and registering new voters?

Notice that phenomenon started with Bush since he got his 64 million in 2004! It's just not possible for a political party to lose 4 million of its current voters in an 8 year period and then not get a single new voter!

There are 90 million Americans who are eligible to vote who never vote. Why don't they vote? That's more people not voting than there are people voting for either major party!

If the Democrats can reach out and tap that well of nonvoters we lose. If the Republicans can reach out and tap that well of nonvoters, the Democrats lose!

Note, these are NOT the non-existent 10% undecided voters in the middle ~ Romney's story at fundraising events notwithstanding ~ these people simply don't vote!

Norm, you are certifiable ~ I've proposed the initiation of a process that virtually eliminates every RINO and every GOP-e type from the Republican party for the next century and you are criticizing it.

Think of no McCain, no Rove, no Romney...... and their followers.

Frankly, they don’t care ~ but there are 90 million of them ~ I’m sure we could attract 25% of them if we tried.

Easily done...with a candidate that’s not a liar and a lib. But the GOP proved they would rather go scorched earth on conservatives.

So WHY should millions of voters TRUST them?

90 million don’t give a big r**s a** ~ trust has nothing to do with it.
