I don't know bob. Which is worse? Republicans trying to make political points vs. Obama lying and manipulating the public for votes?? Oh that hope and change. It sure did work out well didn't it bob? He hoped that he could win the Presidency and then change America based on his teachings and beliefs.
Well, my opinion of Rand Paul is lower than the current "quality" of GOP reps. I think he is a premier version of an opportunistic crud taking advantage of some people thirsting for some common sense that he doesn't posses. He and Cruz are pretty much clones as far as I can tell, they just avow anything they think will help them stay in office. Other than that, I don't have any strong opinions about Rand Nut. Paul right now is just jumping on what he thinks is the "Benghazi scandal" bandwagon.

Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Serve This President
In the mean time, 4000+ mothers will be spending another Mother's Day without their beloved sons an daughters because of a war based on compete lies started by a Republican President. Will Republicans be thinking of them?

Only C-SPAN 3 covered it and many don't get that channel.

They ran a re-run from 10PM on Thursday night to 3 AM on regular C-SPAN

Fox covered a lot of the first 3 hours then showed highlights until the hearing was over.

I wish they had stayed with the hearings instead of the other "garbage" stories they covered.

At least they covered a lot of it and showed highlights.

Where were the other cable channels? What were their stories that were more important?

The attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, successfully argued the First Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves.
Fox News gets okay to misinform public, court ruling | Media Reform | CeaseSPIN.org
Duh! when you show LIVE coverage what different does it make who is airing it?

Oh, I forgot, none of the other cable channels showed ANY of the live coverage, except C-SPAN 3 which many people don't get.

P.S. At least Murdoch's attorney's were honest.

I understand there was a preview of Trumps new reality TV show, ahh, oh yeah, there was "General Hospital" to air... you know, actual entertainment rather than fantasy. Well, take the Trump thing out of the entertainment side.

Nothing like his dad. We need the libertarian party to gain strength and a Teddy Roosevelt progressive like party to form.

I think our government has to completely collapse, or just about hit rock bottom, before people realize that the collapse was due to the work of the two parties that are in control of our country.

His father is probably scratching his head wondering what the hell happened to Rand to stray so far away.

I am not a big fan of Ron either. Too regressive and, frankly, scary re Foreign Relations.

This Administration is the epitome of sleaze. I expected better out of the first (half) black President. What a shame. His legacy will be an unfettered disaster.
