What does anyone think the media would not keep polishing Miss Hillary's image.... phooey.

There was an episode on Mythbusters where they actually did polish a turd.

Dr K: "All the committee has to do is to discover new facts, as we discovered a week and half ago with the Rhodes memo, and that you cannot ignore."

He hopes they boycott the committee, as that will allow the GOP to make the case in a more orderly fashion.

DEMOCRATS RALLY TO SAVE HILLARY'S *** AT ALL COSTS: There’s a vocal chorus of Democrats urging Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to boycott Trey Gowdy's Benghazi committee. They fear appointing Democrat members would lend it credibility, and force Democrats to risk being pawns in a Republican political game.

Here we have proof-positive that Dummycrats should never ever be given political power. They use it like tin pot dictators in Third World satraps.

Lock-stepping Dummycrats spit on those hallowed vestiges of a government they would destroy---they want total power. The power-mad Clintons' grasp for power over and over again is terrifying.

If the Dummycrats had any sense whatsoever they would know that since the 11th century, the system of "Checks and Balances" was initiated in the Great Council Halls of Venice to keep the all-powerful Doges in check.

We need checks and balances now more then ever----to keep the power-crazed Clintons and lock-stepping Dummycrats from trampling us under their feet.

Republican congressman promises House will stop Obama’s abuse of power
Coach is Right ^ | 2/20/14 | Doug Book FR Posted by Oldpuppymax

Barack Hussein Obama has spent 5 years ignoring both the law of the land and constitutionally imposed limits on the power of the presidency. So far, republicans in both the House and Senate have done precious little to take this corrupt, Marxist plant to task on his countless abuses of executive authority.

But on Monday, during a segment with FOX News political analyst Jeanine Pirro, Congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina promised viewers that the House will use the “power of the purse” to end Obama’s obsession with rule rather than governance.

When Pirro asked the congressman if House republicans were actually going to DO it, Gowdy energetically responded “Blank Yeah,” (just in case his mother was watching.) more at coachisright.com ...

The democrats are not going to boycott this. They will do what they always do: act like monkeys throwing around turds in order to de-legitimize it.

Democratic leaders have called the new committee “a political ploy,” a “stunt,” a “sham,” a “waste of taxpayer dollars” and, in the words of White House spokesman Jay Carney, “

STRANGE INDEED. I remember Watergate ONE, like it was yesterday and I don't recall any RATS stating it was a waste of taxpayer dollars back in the 1970s. No indeedie - when it is a GOP President to bring down no amount of tax dollars can be enough if you have a 'D' after your name. Go after a 'D' and they refuse to corporate and go kicking and screaming to the Obama Media Group for cover - WHY CAN'T THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SEE THROUGH THE HYPOCRISY? And by that I mean Joe Six Pack, not people here at FR.

IF these hearings do not stop Hitlery's run for the WH in 2016 then I will know for sure that America and its gutter culture are indeed over.

A Democrat President convicted of treason? Ouch!

That is a fantasy that ain't never coming true. Take it to the bank.

There’s a vocal chorus of Democrats urging Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to boycott Trey Gowdy’s Benghazi committee. .... First of all it wouldn’t be a boycott. Boycott needed workers to bring in his crops, so he could make a profit off Irish who were not going to be fairly recompensed. What they are arguing for here is “Don’t attend so we can scream UNFAIRNESS! UNFAIRNESS!” Pelosi and many other Committees weighed the committees against Republicans in prior years. Trey needs to invite them to appoint four Dems to attend and when they say “No.” , shrug and continue with the hearings. If it is found later to be extrajudicial, the FACTS will be out there, with NO Dummycrat shenanigans.

Would be a site to behold if one of the five does dig into Benghazi will an ALL-OUT effort and NO MERCY, that throws ALL their guilty under the bus and into prison

What a site that would be and you are correct, would be a major game changer and the biggest DANGER the DemocRATS have by appointing their five is one seeking a chance to lead.

> cautiously weighing which strategy would be riskier politically<

So Mr. Moody wrote this crap article and can’t even see the blatant hypocrisy in his own words? Explain to me again who is making it political? This idiot just told you in his own damn article!!

"In the case of reopening an investigation into the events of Sept. 11, 2012, in Libya, Democrats are stuck"

Huh, I must have missed this. WHEN did the press "investigate" the "events" of Sept. 11, 2012?

Yeah, gotta love the MSM.

It was an "event". Kind of like a "happening" or "be-in".

Yahoo news is the wannabe electronic NY Times so be wary of what you read there. Bad journalism is like your wife slipping you a little ant poison every day. Not enough to kill you just enough to make you unaware that what you are consuming is killing you slowly but surely. So it is with the liberal media.

There’s a vocal chorus of Democrats urging Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to boycott the committee altogether. Appointing members to the committee would lend credibility to the investigation, they fear, and it would force Democrats to risk being pawns in a Republican political game.

Rep Gowdy should just nip this in the bud and choose 5 more TEApublican firebrands to be on the committee, especially if they are veterans.

Now that would be a truly "select committee".

Ska-rew the RATs.

By the Democrats' own definition, the vote for instituting the select committee was bipartisan.

Carney has already completely worn out any vestige of integrity he might have ever tenuously been thought to have and is nothing more than a thoughtless conduit for the administration's mendacious bilge.
