House GOP to form Special Select Committee on Benghazi

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-gop-form-special-select-committee-benghazi-n95696

"House Republicans will announce their intention to form a special select committee on Benghazi Friday, intensifying already highly-charged GOP scrutiny of the Obama administration’s handling of the September 2012 attacks that left four Americans dead.

The committee will be led by GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina.

The announcement comes after newly released documents reignited the controversy over how the White House and the State Department crafted their response to the attack. Republicans allege that the White House knowingly misled the public about the origin of the assault."

Please proceed Tea-Baggers (we don't have an "R" party anymore. They're all T-baggers!

Krauthaumer actually said this worthless, innocuous, hardly "smoking" e-mail was "akin to finding the Nixon tapes"!

Makes me wonder...what if you threw a Special Committee Party and no-one showed up?

4. Two things

First-They've got NOTHING ELSE. If you tried to ask the staunchest wingnut Republican you know; "just what has the GOP done over the past 6 years to advance the lives of Middle Class America"? they'd look at you like you farted in an elevator.

Second-I firmly believe that they think the folks who elected and re-elected President Obama are simply stupid, or under some spell, and all they need to do is get something to stick against this President, and BAM! Like a lightning bolt, Obama supporters will wake up, join their side, get rid of the minimum wage, give all the money to the Koch's and then America will be an Ayn Randian Utopia.

Funny thing is, they really are the stupid party. They are the ones cast under a spell. If that were not the case, there is no way any Middle Class American could look at their economic poicies and record, and still vote for them.

It's like Chickens throwing a party for Colonel Sanders.

I've been saying ever since Obama was reelected the republicans were going to impeach him. It doesn't matter that no crimes were committed. They hate him and by God they're going to impeach him. They're all crazier than a shit house rat!

displaying how much money has been spent on the BENGHAZI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! investigation so far. Just a ticker that is constanly going up dispalying the amount of taxpayer dollars spent in front of the ranking democrat on the committee (based on the salary of everyone sitting in the room).

Might wake-up and motivate some of our Mid-term "stay-at-home" voters to get to the fucking polls this November.

...you could start with the 60 overall deaths during his tenure, or you could investigate his WMD lies, or the PDB about Bin Laden in AUGUST of 2001...??

It is well past the time that these fucking bullies were punched squarely in the fucking mouth...

These are the clowns that shut down the government and blew $24 Billion.
