Your analogy is worse than mine

Analogies are for people who can't actually understand the issue at hand.

1 ambassador = 5,000 US Troops is the conversion rate of worth-of-life I believe. I had to look it up on my slide rule.

They were attacked by terrorists in Libya. That's how they died. No scandal.

This. ^^ When have the Democrats ever investigated any of the attacks that happened under Bush? Answer, never, because they understand that embassies are dangerous places and bad things often happen in dangerous places.

No Democrat ever demanded every e-mail written within the administration that even remotely relates and then parsed every word. No Democrat ever demanded an accounting of how the talking points were constructed and exactly who edited every revision, and then parsed every word. No Democrat ever demanded a timeline of where the president was and what he was doing before, during and after the attacks. No Democrat ever demanded pictures to prove where he was before, during and after the attacks. No Democrat ever demanded one investigation, let alone endless Congressional hearings.

And on and on and on...

Did the Bush Administration change/revise their talking points in the days and weeks that followed as more information became available? Probably, but we will never know for sure, because Democrats knew that wasn't really important.

Only the right goes witch hunting at every possible available opportunity. And that's all Benghazi is to them, a means to an end.

A witch hunt.

Hillary is a witch, on that we can agree. But this is the furthest thing from a witch hunt. Mircea pretty much destroyed the ridiculous arguments of you OFA astroturfers by posting 12 unanswered questions from Judicial Watch earlier in the thread.

If you have answers to any of those questions, please share. If not, pipe down/shut up and stop trolling the thread with your lies and spin. Twenty months of lying and stonewalling is enough time for you and the OFA brigade to come up with some answers, isn't it?

The dems on one hand are holding intense and lengthy hearings on whether Chirs Chrristie knew about a lane closure in a state where lane closures are a daily occurrence. On the other hand Dems feel an investigation into Benghazi is hardly worth mentuioning and is pure political politics.

Wish they'd be consistent and apply due diligence as a matter of course.

These are the same Dems that passed obamacare without reading or understanding the legislation. They refuse in both cases to participate in carrying out their responsibilities to their constituents.

Obama and HRC lied thru their teeth..again. And apparently they have imunity from the media lapdogs. Justice in the US has been usurped by a social justice at any cost. Without media participation all we can do is watch our country be hijacked.
