Here's the latest skinny on the editing of the talking points. It ends up that there really was nothing nefarious going on. I suppose the GOP will be apologizing tomorrow for wasting everybody's time.

This just makes me want to vote for Hillary even more. And in 2016 there will be even less of us old cranky white dudes to be even tempted by the GOP. Demographics and all.....

it would be much wiser for the GOP to concentrate on immigration reform rather than worrying about Benghazi or the Big Government buying all the ammo......

They can't deal in substantive policy as most of their base is too angry, embittered and resentful to take the time to figure it out what's really going on (which is impossible on the media they watch anyway). Accordingly, the GOP just continues to throw them more red meat.

I liked this comment

Because we lived through a decade where 3,000 of our brothers and sisters were killed during domestic terror attacks, 7,000 KIA in Iraq and Afghanistan, there were over 50 embassy attacks, and the GOP and Cons remained silent.

If you clowns actually cared about civil service, especially after Benghazi, the question of cuts to security budget at State wouldn't even be up for debate.

The fact that the GOP cuts and cuts, is evidence that they are crying crocodile tears.

They are just looking for more American graves to dance on -- simply because their hatred of this president knows no limit.

Well Jb, I could but it's obvious when you read that ABC blogger's craptastic conclusions, that his hair is on fire (not too mention his pants.) The only worm that I can see is in that bottle of Mescal he's been chug a lugging...

Better now?

You read the National Journal? OMG!

What a cluster this whole thing is even if it's being overstated. And giving the right the opportunity to hammer the admin with this is entirely the admins' fault.

An all red meat diet is not good for the digestive system!!

Sounds like you're blaming the rape victim for getting raped, bro. No offense. Nice that you're evolving on this issue. tho.

Evolving?

It's not rape, it's politics. Boohoohoo?

There you go again post a blog as "fact." I guess I'll start posting editorial items from the National Review as "facts" to buttress my arguments.
