The appointments are trivial. Wait until the budget battle.; November 1, 2013 at 4:50 AM

More reliable news sources reveal what's really going on here.

"Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., threatened Monday to hold up all nominations for federal government positions until survivors of last year's deadly attack on the diplomatic post in Libya appear before Congress."

Jake formerly of the LP said...: That's some high-quality satire right there. At least, I HOPE that's satire.

Nobody with an "R" next to their name should be allowed to escape unscathed in 2014. That includes the alleged "moderates ", because they have allowed the TeaBag sedition to go on.; November 1, 2013 at 12:05 PM

Can we get a little change with that?; November 1, 2013 at 1:05 PM
zombie rotten mcdonald said...: Would that Graham express as much concern for the FOUR SEPARATE family shooting incidents in that last week, killing more Americans than the Benghazi incident.

But that would require not being hypocritical, and for him not to be terrified of the Teabagger primary threatening his phoney-baloney government job. What a moocher.; November 1, 2013 at 1:15 PM

Quote: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) used the “60 Minutes” report to justify calling Monday for additional hearings into Benghazi and threatened to block Senate appointments until lawmakers had heard from all the surviving witnesses to the attack.

However, Graham conceded Wednesday that witnesses have already been questioned by members of Congress, but their testimony hasn’t been publicly released because the investigations are still ongoing. /quote; November 1, 2013 at 1:57 PM

Probably not. Unless of course, the Secretary of State could have picked-up the phone and given the President advice to rescue the Americans pleading for help. Or did she?

Perhaps you could have paid attention to the first dozen times this was shown to be a lie in the OTHEr round of Benghazi hearings. Or perhaps, they recognized that due to distance, there was little that could be done in time. You know, like has been demonstrated and testified in all the other Benghazi hearings. The American People have HEARD the truth, and the Republicans are whiny little babies about it because it doesn't fit into their conspiracy-minded worldview, and doesn't give them the blunt instrument they were hoping for, that would allow them to commit more acts of sedition.

Perhaps, if you insist on having more hearings on the issue, we could investigate the Republican's culpability in refusing a budget that would have allowed for better security in the first place?

Or perhaps you could stop wasting time and money on an issue that has been resolved (and Graham admits as such) . Oh, I know, I am expecting far too much from someone who is unable to even pick a nym.; November 2, 2013 at 10:47 AM

Like the Hillary bodyguards aren't out in full force on this one.

Remember, this wasn't reported by FOX. It's a lefty news network that's going after the truth and is now being trashed by their own.

They've got to be tired of being lied to by this administration. Makes them look like fools for being duped over and over again.; November 2, 2013 at 9:15 PM
