"Men, it has been well said, think in herds. It will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
- Charles Mackay, Scottish journalist, circa 1841

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon

I wouldn't care if he dressed like Bozo the clown (with Bozo's hair).

The guy is a pit-bull and master of getting to the heart of the issue and demanding the facts and the truth.


That's why the administration and its minions in the house are scared shitless. 
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I think another investigation is unnecessary, a waste of time and resources, regardless of who leads it.  Unnecessary not in the sense that nothing else will be brought to light over the Benghazi incident, but because nothing will be done about whatever is found out.
It is all just political grandstanding, and we have far too much of that.
Republicans want to use the anticipated outcome as yet another club to beat HRH Hillary Clinton.  They just need to get used to the notion that, if she ultimately decides to run for President, she will be elected.  The Republicans have no one to run against her that has a chance of winning.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I disagree,  This is a stepping stone to impeachment (and the destruction of HRC), should the R's gain the Senate and increase their majority in the House, this committee could (and should) introduce that articles of impeachment once Gowdy is done.

We know what they could and should do, if the (R)s take the Senate.  But we both know it won't happen.  Obama will not be impeached.  Ain't gonna happen.

Gowdy's a former prosecutor.   A good choice as select committee chair.  An even better one for drafting and arguing Articles of Impeachment.   I got a feeling the Select Committee won't stop at Benghazi.  (He's been on the committees that "looked" at F&F and the IRS.)

Another vote for no impeachment ever happening. Last time I looked, Obama was still black. That's a rail too hot to touch.

No way in hell are they going to impeach the second black president. You saw what a circus the Clinton impeachment was, and what it accomplished (nada).

With Obama's impeachment, you'd have rioting.

Not to say that people like Gowdy aren't daring enough to do it, but it ain't going to happen because the rest of Congress will not go along with it.

Republicans impeach Obama???  Ain't gonna happen.  Last go'round (Clinton) it was republicans (Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott) who threw the entire House Manager's case into the can.  That was also the event that gave us the rise of Lindsey Graham to national prominence.  No thanks, one Lindsey Graham is enough.  One republican projectile puke is enough.

It'll be interesting to see their reaction.

Dude, that was like 2 years ago. The press is far more interested in what ever scandal they can dig on Sarah Palin's family this week than what the Obama admin may or may to have done to facilitate the death of 4 Americans.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams
