Paul: Benghazi should preclude Clinton from presidency
CNN ^ | 11/12/13 | Dan Merica

Posted on 11/14/2013 12:00:37 PM PST by Republicanprofessor

Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky restated his position on Tuesday that the attack on the United States compound in Benghazi–and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s response–should prohibit her from becoming president.

Paul, who has long been outspoken about the terrorist attack, told cadets at The Citadel, a military college in South Carolina, that the commander-in-chief should never be unwilling to send troops to protect the United States’ diplomatic missions.

“Her failure to provide our ambassador and his mission with adequate security should preclude Hillary Clinton from ever holding high office ever again,” he said.

Suggest you get this spiffy bumper sticker early as supply levels are dropping faster than Willie's pants in a room full of interns!

Experience should preclude her from the presidency.
Ability should preclude her from the presidency.
Lack of honesty should preclude her from the presidency.
Sleaziness should preclude her from the presidency.
Talent should preclude her from the presidency.
Her piece of excrement husband should preclude her from the presidency.
IQ should preclude her from the presidency - really, what has she ever said that couldn’t be said by a 6-year old?

Need more?

Got a week or two?

It was a failure of leadership not to be involved. It was a failure of leadership ... not to know these things ... and so, I think it is good that you're accepting responsibility for this because no one else is ... there is a certain amount of culpability to the worst tragedy since 9/11. And I'm glad you're accepting this.

FIVE SECOND BENGHAZI QUIZ

(Q.) Who holds the key to unlocking the Benghazi secrets Obama and Hillary will not divulge?

(A.) Egyptian Gen Al-Sisi does.

Right now, sitting in an Egyptian jail is a man al-Sisi arrested for inciting terrorism. That man is Gehad al Hadad

THE CLINTONS IN-HOUSE MUSLIM TERRORIST the Clintons tax-exempt foundation employed a Muslim Brotherhood activist.

Gehad el-Haddad
(The stupid Clintons did not know Gehad was Farsi for "jihad")

Gehad also knows how the Muslim Brotherhood launders money to finance terrorism, using "tax-exempt foundations."

As far as I know, Egypt does not have any limitations on obtaining information from terrorists---like prohibiting waterboarding, etc.

Benghazi should preclude Clinton from walking the streets as a free woman.

Thanks Rand, for being the first high-profile GOP figure with enough stones to publicly state this.

Of all the scandals currently swirling around Zero and his crew, Benghazi is the one that absolutely rises to a 'high crime': dereliction of duty in the face of the enemy. It's a damned shame that the House GOP leadership can't get it's act together and put a select committee together to get to the bottom of it. This would not only provide a basis for Zero's impeachment, but it have the added bonus of putting a stake in the heart of any Hildabeast presidential aspirations.

In the American military it is constantly repeated that we leave no one behind. There are innumerable examples of American fighting men facing steep odds and battling their way into fire into an attempt to rescue fallen comrades. Officers were trained to bring everyone home. Yet, at Benghazi someone failed to order a rescue team. Neither POTUS or SOS have accounted for their actions during the attacks which took place over 7 hours. At that time there were assets available with which to mount a rescue. While there would have been no guaranty such a mission would have succeeded the fact that no attempt was ordered is reprehensible.

Absolutely right, but the media will NEVER even mention it during the campaign in 2016.

All it takes is intelligent thinking voters to prevent her from occupying the Spite House but as Jesse Watters showed us when he interviewed someone who could have been Obama's brother and he said "I don't know much about Ben Ghazi but I thinks Hillary is better and I'll voter for her and not Ben Ghazi"

We cannot out vote so many low/no information voters and that is by design by Progressive liberals everywhere.

Prepare to be completely "SHOULD" all over.

Yes, do not count the wench out. After all, slick willie won two terms and the Obungler won two terms, and both never should have won even one term.

Need to POUND what Drudge posted that has Hillary towing the party line with the "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health insurance plan, you can keep your health insurance plan" LIE. Levin was BRILLIANT tonight playing it, cueing everyone up for an 0bama audio clip, and there is Hillary saying the same line.

"Clip 17, GO!"

Don't know where Mark got the audio.... the vid at the article doesn't have Hillary speaking, but this is the quote from her.

"You can keep the doctors you know and trust. You keep the insurance you have," Clinton said on Sept. 17, 2007, at the Broadlawns Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa. "If you have private insurance you like, nothing changes — you can keep that insurance."
