Benghazi Select Committee: Just Another Ploy for Fundraising

So I look into my e-mail and got this message from a pro gop website

" Let's cut to the chase. Speaker of the House John Boehner just announced that he will permit a vote on a House Select Committee on Benghazi.

BUT... will those who sit on this Select Committee be true champions of justice who will seek REAL answers... or will the Select Committee be stacked with business-as-usual, go-along-get-along GOP elites who will simply pontificate and move on once they perceive that the time is right?

One thing is certain. At this very moment, politicians are meeting behind closed doors to decide just who is going to sit on this Select Committee. Decisions will be made in a matter of days and the answer to the question posed above is totally in YOUR HANDS.

Time is short and we need an outpouring of faxes and calls this weekend and into the coming week to put John Boehner and our Republican leaders on notice. Let them know that you'll be watching and you will not accept a betrayal or a dog-and-pony show.

Bigger Than Watergate...?

Syndicated columnist and Fox News analyst Charles Krauthammer went so far as to say that the discovery of the 'talking points' email to then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice is "the equivalent of what was discovered with the Nixon tapes."

And according to The Washington Times, some in Congress are even saying that the Obama administration has engaged in "perhaps criminal" behavior.

The Times adds: "A retired Air Force brigadier general who was in the U.S. Africa Command's headquarters the night of the 2012 attack on the American diplomatic post in Benghazi testified that... it was either negligence or willful ignorance that led the White House, amid a re-election campaign, to say the violence was ignited by anger over a video."

And so, we hope and pray that Mr. Boehner is sincere in his newly found resolve to get behind the idea of a Select Committee... but we need to do more than just hope and pray.

Krauthammer again: "The point is that Republicans have done a terrible job in building the case. Even today I have to say, the questioning was disjointed, it was not organized. If they had appointed a special committee [a] long time ago the way it was done in Watergate, you would have had answers..."

Excuse us for speaking so plainly, but we know that patriotic Americans like you don't want Mr. Boehner and Members of Congress to screw this up. There can be no excuse for letting justice slide.

And only righteous outrage, right now, from patriotic Americans like you will keep Mr. Boehner and Members of Congress honest.

We need REAL answers. We need justice. And that's why it's essential that you tell John Boehner and our Republican leaders that you're watching them and you will not accept any betrayals.

Could Benghazi Be The Beginning Of The End For Barack Obama?

Retired General Paul Vallely went so far as to use the "I-Word" to NewsMax: "What we have now basically is an invitation to seriously defraud the voting public, which in my opinion is just another indication that we need to impeach President Obama...."

Vallely's not the only one. People have been saying that the bell is tolling for Mr. Obama on Benghazi for some time now:

- Former Governor Mike Huckabee has said: "The highest levels of people in the United States government all the way up to the president knew that what they did tell us was not true. ... And when the facts come out, they will not be able to stand. They will have lost the right to govern."

- Former UN Ambassador John Bolton: "This could be a hinge point for the Obama administration. It's that serious for them... And what we've seen leaked already... is DEVASTATING." [Emphasis Ours]

- Political pundit Dick Morris: "t is only a matter of time until the blame filters up to Obama and Clinton, ruining one presidency and possibly preventing another. ... They will not be able to free themselves or save themselves. The die is cast."

But the die is not yet cast. The question remains... now that damning information is coming to the surface, are our elected officials going to do what must be done to finally uncover the truth and hold the Obama Regime accountable for the lies and deception?

The ultimate answer to that question is up to you and you can't complain that our elected officials don't listen to you if you don't bother to communicate with them. We need calls and faxes. Our elected officials must hear from you now.


It just appears to be another fund-raising ploy by Republicans in order to get more money. Where was the outcry about the lies for the Iraq War or torture? The answer is none. This is a just another phony committee designed for partisan witchhunts instead of focusing on improving diplomatic security
