Paul Ryan stated he does not know whether Obama intentionally misled the public about the nature of the September 2012 attack in Benghazi…Ryan never stated there was not a cover up. You should set him strait since you KNOW it was actually the republicans fault.

In no way did McConnel defend the Obama administration. National security leaks should be investigated but the DOJ broke the law.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

You may want to consider diversification of your news sources.

The IG’s REPORT disagrees with Nate Silver’s opinion…no surprise who’s side you took.

Come on NB, finding incorrect information on the internet to support your "facts" cannot be that tiring.

"You may want to consider diversification of your news sources."

Tee, hee.

Funny I heard yesterday his approval percentage was 49. Guess, you are right fsh. It depends on your source.

If in your pocket you have 49 cents or 54 cents, what difference does it make?

There's something wrong with The New York Times and Huffington Post?

"That's all for today"?

You're going back to Wolfeboro's Stalinist forum, where "unacceptable views" are not posted?

In other news….

The Obama administration spied on Fox News reporter James Rosen

The Justice Department spied extensively on Fox News reporter James Rosen in 2010, collecting his telephone records, tracking his movements in and out of the State Department and seizing two days of Rosen’s personal emails, the Washington Post reported on Monday.

IRS workers- orders come from "the top"

The Obama administration has stated that low level "rogue" IRS workers were the cause of the audits of conservatives. Those very same "low level" workers at the IRS tell a far different story. Of course, it is obvious that these audits were authorized "from the top", perhaps even the White House.

Only a true moron could think that "rogue" IRS agents systemically targeted the ideological opponents of the administration. Of course, the Obama administration knows that most voters are morons, which is why Obama was elected twice.

CNN Poll: 59% Approve of GOP's Handling of Benghazi Scandal and Cover-Up

I guess I am in the 41% who don't approve. The GOP has not been aggressive enough. People died. The American people were lied to for political reasons.

Hear, hear!
