— DrewM Hillary is doing her thing on Benghazi in front of the Senate Foreign Relation Committee. Four or five questioners in A republican is finally getting to Susan Rice.
Overall Hillary is saying the House needs to give me money for embassy defense. She's turning this into a victory lap.
Still no mention of "YouTube".
Today's hearing is a political sideshow. If you're interested in the real challenges facing diplomats in non-permisive environments, listen to my talk with security expert Robert Caruso from October.
I'm not going to update with every statement of hers but she just said, "I wasn't involved in the talking points process" regarding Susan Rice's Sunday show appearance.
Obama isn't the only one who knows how to throw someone under the bus.
First testy exchange comes from Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI). He goes after Hillary for the protest story without any facts. Hillary angrily responds (literally pounding the table) saying "We had 4 dead Americans! Was it a protest?...What difference at this point does it make?"
Unfortunately, Johnson had no answer to why it's a problem the administration spent 2 weeks lying. Hillary hid behind the bodies of 4 dead Americans and it will play well.
[Update JohnE.] Shorter Benghazi hearing:

Right, we have money for green cars and green embassy programs but not security.
At least our priorities aren't completely out of whack.

That aside, the Dems are sucking up to her for half of their 5 minutes. Most of the GOP Senators have kid gloves on. And the "answers" from Hillary consist of blaming the House for a lack of funding, claiming that everything that could've been done was done(BS!), and insisting that the buck stops with her....even though no one(including herself) has been held accountable for what happened.

Until we have people who can lie like her, and a committed group of enablers to support those lies, we will continue to lose issues like this.
Here is a situation that any moderately intellegent group of people would know was a total fuck up, with criminal neglegence and intentionally allowing the loss of life for political purposes. However, at the end of these hearings, Hillary will most likely be awarded the Medal of Honor and a Nobel Prize.
We just can't compete with the skillset.

So: Third party? What would you name it?
We might as well get started on this.
On 3/20/1854, in WI, the Republican Party was formed. By 7/6/54, in MI, they had held a statewide convention and nominated candidates for the ballot. By February of 1856, they had their national convention. And you know what happened in 1860.
We can do this. But do we must. The time for talking is over.

Hey Cankles "accepts responsibility"--it's just the blame and the punishment that she's not into---well maybe public blame and punishment. Who knows what kinky stuff she and Slick Willy were into?
What she deserves is to be beaten like a rented mule. But ol' Shrillary will survive all this. Actually she looked better in today's photos on Drudge than she has for months. She's just resting up for 2016--and Susan Rice is going to get discarded like a used Kleenex.

As Pepi LePew would say, "Le sigh...". No one has asked or will ask the real question about the Benghazi debacle:
WHAT WAS SO IMPORTANT THAT STEVENS WENT TO BENGHAZI WITH MINIMAL SECURITY?!?
To commemorate the opening of a Turkish Cultural Center? Please! Everyone in the intel business (and I spent ~15 years in it) knows that Cultural Centers are fronts for intelligence gathering and keeping tabs on your assets. The real story is:
1) We were buying Khadafi's arms to ship to the Syrian rebels.
2) The CIA grabbed someone close (possibly his brother) to the guy we were buying the arms from.
3) The bad guys wanted their guy back so asked for Stevens to come to Benghazi to negotiate a deal. And to show trust after the CIA's boneheaded move he had to show up with minimal security.
4) The bad guys tried to grab Stevens to swap for their guy.
5) Things went sideways.
6) The administration is more than happy to have everyone yammering about security, the response, Susan Rice, etc. because it would be a debacle if the real story got out (Think Iran-Contra times Eleventy!@#!)
7) They will never catch the guys who did this since guess what, we're still doing business with them. Why do you think the FBI investigation has been half-assed at best? Already they "leaked" that the some of the guys behind Benghazi were killed in Algeria. So we'll bomb a few tents and camels in the Sahara and they'll claim "We got them!".
Jeesh! Everybody (including the conservative bloggers) are so naive.

Hillary picked up the 50 caliber machine gun and, firing from the hip, provided cover fire for the surviving members of the counsolate.
But still, that's not enough for those on the right.
If the republicans in congress hadn't made draconian cuts in the budget that was specifically for protection in Libya, this wouldn't have happened in the first place.

The problem in that situation is that the democrats seem content to just pull the goddamned lever for any Communist they run and our threat to not play ball rings hollow.
The Democrats lead their moron fucktard enablers around not the other way around...
I sold plan B as infiltrating the Democrats to try to destroy their worst actors but watching this bullshit leads me to believe Run Red and Divorce are the better play.
The federal Government's primary role is to present a unified front on foreign policy and assert our place in the world defending our interests and rights as a nation, instead a party dedicated to destroying our collective power wishes to cede sovereignty to an unelected International Oligarchy and micromanage our republic from top down.
This is NOT the American experiment.

Things I've learned so far from Hilary's testimony:
1) Being Secretary of State is a hard job. A really, really, really hard job.
2) When something happens somewhere in he world, that's not the only thing that's going on. Things are happening all the time everywhere. It's very complicated and very hard to keep track of.
3) It's really hard to confirm stuff that's happening far away. It's almost like there are no satellites, cell phone, comm links, IPhones or anything else. Just drumbeats in the wild.
4) It doesn't matter that there was a terrorist attack. WHY the attack occurred is what matters. I mean, there are four dead people, but once they're dead it's time to move on.
I'm glad we chose the coattails spouse of a former president with no international experience except to have other leaders' wives to tea for such a mind-bogglingly important post.
Oh, and she's flown 1,000,000 as Sec/State, which is more than anyone else. This is why the world is a safer place: frequent flyer miles.

Why is the GOP going along with this? Are they that frightened/demoralized?
Because they're all on the same team - the rulers.
Were we still the country our Founders envisioned, this creature would long since have had a group of citizens cordially escort her to the nearest tree and ask if she wanted to take up permanent residence there. Which is also why, although I'm a devoted LiB fan, it won't, ultimately, do any good. The power brokers, the DC elite, the Chris Matthewses - not one of them will suffer at all for their outright treason and the abetting thereof. They are the ones who should have their heads on pikes after the FSA runs riot, yet they never will.
Fuck the GOP. Burn it to the fucking ground.

I'm still convinced that the Tea Party should stage a hostile takeover of the GOP. Having the national machinery in place is important, and as is true in so much of politics, having the right people is crucial.
The current leadership of the GOP must be replaced. Their dependence on professional political consultants should be jettisoned. Their cowering before the Dims and refusal to challenge the MFM needs to stop immediately. The entire party needs a makeover and establish its public identity as one that fully supports the Constitution as written, capitalism and the rule of law with no apologies. They also need to highlight how the average American can succeed and fulfill the Dream through hard work and start educating the public about how Dim policies and regulations (including court decisions made by Leftarded judges) is keeping them down. They should be a living, breathing organism of strong opposition to the Left, pointing out its flaws, which are many, each and every day.

If we could just get the Democrats to split into four parties again. (Reds, Greens, Fags, and Hags)
=============
Easy enough to do when we have a political party willing to tell the truth.
And once we spit the GOP, they'll each think they now have huge power in the Dem party which will either force the Dem party farther left or they leave. Either way is a win for us.
And let's not get bogged down in "but what if they don't, what if we just hand this country to the Dems." Fact of the matter is, the current version of the national GOP is doing everything in its power to hand the country to the Dems.
And we cannot, in any way, shape or form, defend our individual liberties and freedoms against a hostile government unless and until we have a political party and entity willing to defend us.
For me, I'm going to start pushing the idea of the state and local Republican parties of Texas disassociating from the national party.

What we did get was this -> the DoJ whistleblower was harassed by his superiors and fired from his job at DoJ and Holder thumbing his nose at Republican House committee members.

DoS has a budget for security madam. This was your political decision to deny security for appearances sake and in support of policies that eventually led to these murders.
Congress had ZERO to due with the murders of our countrymen. Yet you dishonor their memories and abuse their families with your politics and obfuscation of facts.

A new American Republics' needs will be water, and access to canadian Shale production to refine.
The Republic may in fact be better served as a Confederate coalition for mutual trade interest, currency, and defense more so than a Federal Leviathan to be.
A good bill of rights, precise federal duties and an electorate ruthless enough at the collective assembly's overreach that State level office is preferable as was the case for a good portion of our early history would be ideal.

Benghazi WASN'T an embassy or even a State Department mission.
It was a CIA distribution center for dispensing weapons to Libyan militias and their affiliates. The question needs to be asked, "What was Benghazi(it wasn't listed as an embassy or mission at the State Department web site) and why was Ambassador Stevens there meeting with the Turk?

It sure is nice she shed some tears for the dead. She didn't quite have that concern for them in the months and weeks ahead of 9/11/12 when they had requested security or during the actual attack when she denied them help.
But it doesn't matter, at the end of the day she could tell lies to Congress that everybody knows are lies (and she is) and the Justice Department would never do a damn thing about it.
Some people are more equal than others. The 4 dead in Benghazi are less equal.

Or maybe it goes towards a good followup question, "why are we in Libya?" And it could shed some good light on who we're cozying up to in other places like Egypt. Oh, the same group of people behind the attack are now running Egypt... well, maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't be giving them F16s. Just a thought.

Why didn't the pubs bring in the ambassador's family or the family of the other 3 killed to ask questions? It's what the donks would do (see children at gun EO signing etc..)
Kinda makes me wonder who's driving this clown car.
BTW, has anyone yet asked even one of Sheryl Atkisson's questions today? I'm not watching this for reasons of blood pressure and sanity, but mainly because I'm out of Valu-Rite.

I know things look dark right now. But, despite being back on the ropes, there has not, since the founding of this nation, been so many, so committed to the cause of freedom. Only 1/3rd of Americans supported the American Revolution. 1/3rd devoted to the cause. Freedom's flame cannot yet be extinguished. But we, have a task ahead of us, difficult and long, it will require all of our fidelity, virtue, and perseverance.

You're confusing quislings with clueless incompetents. I strongly doubt national-level Republican politicians are in active collusion with Marxists. Our biggest problem is, of course, the inability of GOP leadership to recognize that they're dealing with real-deal, old-school, Lenin-loving, hardcore Marxists. They think they're opposing Democrats. They even think Obama is a Democrat as FDR was a Democrat, a traditional liberal.
Unfortunately, the result is the same either way: the commies win.

"Was it a protest? Or was it because of guys out for a walk one night..."
Wow. This from a woman who could have cleared the story up within hours, but then - days or weeks later told the families of those "four dead Americans" that it was the fault of an American film maker, who they promised to punish!!
Describing a terrorist attack as "guys out for a walk one night"? Holy shit, Hillary. And then to portray herself as the VICTIM, since the "four dead" were her people", whom she is basically guilty of involuntary manslaughter of? I mean, the nerve of this b****!!!
We expected her to admit nothing, but this is TOO MUCH.

It made enough of a difference that Obama personally tried to sell the video/protest story for a few weeks, in interviews and at the UN.
Ask him what motivated him to do that.
Whatever answer he gives, that's the difference it makes.
But I do love to see a powerful, empowered, career woman cry under tough questioning. Inspires loads of confidence.

Exactly Hillary, Why does it matter if it was a protest or planned attack?
Why was it so important for *YOU* and the Obama Administration to LIE to the world about what happened?
Why did you and Obama spend so much energy spinning this LIE?

2. Paul told her he would have fired her, and introduced the arms-running between Libya and other countries through Turkey. On this she said she didn't know anything about it (a LIE) and perhaps they should question another agency (CIA I presume). In the process of this she again said that the State Department people had been relieved of their positions, obviously trying to make the public think they had been fired, when they have simply been transferred.
3. McCain brought up discussions HE had with the Ambassador in JULY, and wanted to know why none of these concerns reached her.
Given that some of these people are not lawyers, and that some of them are squishy, I think they did pretty well. Plus we still have the House this afternoon.
I think we will hear more about the video this afternoon. I do not for a minute think that the House and Senate members of their respective committees have not strategized or discussed this.

I really think it is passed the time to use some Alinski tactics on these dirtbags. These douches lie, make stuff up, obfuscate. I think its time the conservative side does the same thing, ethics be damned. And its up to little people, like us. Even the most outrageous exaggerations about possible Obama policies are plausible, so nothing is off the table.
I actually thought that the Obama/Joker posters were perfect. Ridicule with a message. Why aren't those things being mass-produced as little stickers and stuck on every shopping cart, restroom wall, menu and back pack in America? Same thing with Gadsen flags, both the yellow and the beautiful red and white stripes. Give him to kids and let them stick them everywhere. Some other posters noticed [and so did I] that Obama bumperstickers seem to have crawled out the drawer and onto car bumpers AFTER the election. Time to make the left feel surrounded.
Start the reparations rumor. "I hear that Obama confiscates the guns, he is going to order reparations. And it won't just be in a tax hike. They are going to take it right out of your [ss, unemployment benefits, etc] Who cares if its true or not.
Use class warfare to pre-empt state bail-outs. "Well, I don't know if you've heard but the plan is to have all the poor states bail out the rich states like California and New York. Illinois too."
Start anti-religious rumors: "I heard a rumor that Obama is considering a 75% tax on our church collections because religious people won't support abortion."
Although I think when people get a snootfull of ObamaCare, there will be no need to go after it this way. But "You know your free-check-up will be mandatory and will be a mental health test. If you don't pass the test then you will lose [gun rights, voting rights, driver's license, custody, unemployment, access to government buildings] or be subject to mandatory sterilization or your home searched for prohibited goods."
