People put their careers and maybe life on the line to speak out and Boehner is wimping out? He needs to step down and let real men lead.

Could it be that they are purposely botching it?

[[The House GOP leadership is botching the Benghazi investigation ]]

Geee- didn’t see that coming - heavy sarcasm-

WHEN he bothces the ivnestigation, then he shoudkl be made to explain to hte mothers of hte 4 slain Americans why he failed when ALL of America KNEW it was the administration that failed- maybe he can explain why the GOP was just as inept and incompetent as the administration-

I say we do up a motion to grant Bhoner immunity from whatever it is the dems/GOP have on him and see of Gowdy will read it into the record on the Senate floor.

Ot a Right wing wide petition just to push the issue.

I have said it right from the beginning that all these other scandals was goign to dilute the most severe scandal ever- and that the GOP would stop pushing hardc on the case and woudl start throwing hte left softballs once thep ublic’s initiual reaction to the dear leader’s INCOMPETENCE settled down and peopel lost itnerest- now we’re seeign benghazio fall by the wayside- and the INCOMPETENT ‘leaders’ that caused hte deaths of 4 great Aemricans will likely get off with nothiogn more than a slap o nthe wrist, and the woman who shoudl have lsot her job will likely be a serious contender in 20156 thanks to the spinelessness of the GOP and their limpwristed approach to the very serious allegations which shoudl have been nothign but a slam dunk to them-

The other scandals coudl have waited until AFTER it was PROVEN our dearl eader got drunk and gave orders NOT to be disturbved and oiur secretary of state gave orders NOT to be disturbed while 4 Americansd foguht desperately for hteirl ives for 8 grueling frightful hours nkowign hteir govenrment had just betrayed them

We learned a couple of good concepts from the German Army. “Schwerpunkt” is one of those concepts. It’s a big concept, but the important part here concerns “Attacking your opponent’s center-of-gravity”. Even that takes a dissertation to explain it. The other concept is (and forgive my poor German), “Klickhern nicht klockhern”. This basically means to strike with a closed fist and not an open hand.
Dear Republicans: look for your opponent’s center-of-gravity and strike it hard. Don’t dissipate your strength.

Quite the contrary. Do some investigative reporting on Bonehead.
He’s got to have some bones in his closet. Release that information
and BAM! Bonehead is ousted.

Yes, they are, and pay close attention to this snip:
:::::::::::
The nightmare scenario for Republicans would be if this large group of former special operations folks got fed up enough to mount a Swift Boat-style media campaign to explain to leadership that “Country First” needs to be a code to live by, not just some bumper-sticker slogan.
::::::::::
Apparently the mushy independents can only be woken up with face-slaps of this order. Otherwise Kerry would have won.

Consider this a very hopeful ‘promise’ and combining Team 6,
we have a shot at stirring some sleeping Americans awake.

They’re going to have to revolt against Boehner.

Trey Gowdy, Jim Jordan and a handful of others are smarter than the entire rest of them put together.

Ha! I thought about that one, but there doesn’t seem to be much interest in “getting to the bottom of it,” probably because it is a matter of mutually abusive incest.

I’m with you.

The only way to combat Alinsky-ism is to do the dirt digging the libs do; only we need to do it on the progressives AND the RINOS. (and,I’d bet the conservatives are better investigators than libs are.)

Dig deep into reporters, for instance; the MSM NEEDS a thorough clean-up. Make THEIR lives miserable.

Wasn’t Jessica Savitch a coke-head?
Isn’t Diane Sawyer a drunk?

And get the goods on the local “reporters”; most of them are idiots and need to be outed.

Maybe then, the RINOs won’t CARE what the MSM says about them and will worry more about what their constituents say about them.

Why do boxers focus so much on hitting their opponent’s chin? It’s because a hard strike to the chin ends the fight. It produces a knockout. Basically, and I’m not a Doctor, a strike on the chin drives the jawbone into a mass of nerve cells located just behind the jawbone, below the ear. And it’s not that this is an automatic knockout spot. The body and brain are overcome with pain, and the opponent’s body and brain shut down. Males have the same response when kicked in the groin. The body and brain shut down from overwhelming pain.
Dear Republicans: overwhelming pain to your opponents will cause them to shut down.

One would be amazed how quickly Bonehead would be ousted, if a scandal
bomb was dropped on him. He would not weather that storm.
