How can Benghazi be used against her, if no congressional report has been written and released assessing blame?

You prove that Benghazi's is to be used as a weapon...

You prove all the lies told about Benghazi.

They are still stonewalling.
Have we heard from any of the witnesses yet?
What lies are you talking about?

I'm a registered independent, and I have to say, the political environment in this country leaves me both sick and depressed.

Our political scene has devolved into nothing more than a popularity contest. There are enough low-information types voting that THEY are the ones who can swing an election. You cannot possibly tell me it was high-information types that put Obama into office. Intelligent voters should have quickly realized that Obama was/is nothing more than an empty suit, a ventriliquist dummy looking for someone to shove a hand up his......

As I see it, the low-information types are going to hijack the political scene once again in 2016. Granted, the Republcian party is a disaster right now, even more dysfunctional than Barack Obama's family tree. American politics are best played between the 40-yard lines, yet we have nothing but political extremists to choose from.

I think some at least will become better informed by 2014 through bad experience and looking to see what went wrong that they missed the first time around.

Dropping trust levels have a way of doing that.

Agree ntwrkguy, although when I saw what Obama was about and up to, first I thought wait, that's not what he said when he was running. I get that tea party simply wants to get government spending under control, don't most of us? They obviously are not good politicians, they don't know how to play the political game and with the liberal media constantly covering Obama's ass they have to go all out.

Why did ANYONE think this "Act" would lead to lower healthcare costs? It was drafted behind closed doors with BigPharma, BigInsurance, and BigMedical at the table.

Where was BigTaxpayer, you say?

You mean our president -- who PROMISED to be the mostest, bestest, awesomest transparentest administration in the history of the universe -- didn't invite us to the table?

Whoa, allow me to put on my shocked face.
Sort of makes you feel all Hopey-Changey all over, doesn't it?

Right now we are witnessing the liberals in action and it is by far the easiest leading of lambs to slaughter in modern times. I say let them get on the Obama train.

There are many "low-morality types" supporting Republicans as contrasted with many "high-morality types" supporting Democrats.

Responsible, mature and principled voters quickly realized in 2012 that Republicans advocate specifically for egoistic avarice, and for the antisocial and callous disregard for others.

As I see it, "low-morality types" are going to try to hijack the political scene once again in 2016 and will probably fail again, and they'll whine incessantly about how their facts and having no worthy principles are better than the facts and worthy principles that support the other side's perspective, and how dumb everyone who values honor, compassion, and the social contract is - all as rationalization for their failure.
