GOP Stupidity Is Going to Give Hilary a Legit "out"........

[joelbc1]

Cong. McCarthy's quip regarding the Benghazi hearings and Hilary's poll numbers give Ms. Clinton a lot of legitimacy in her claims Trey Gowdy's boys are on nothing more than a political witch hunt. McCarthy, like a lot of pols, just doesn't understand the need to keep his mouth shut and not speak about such things. You wait and see boyz....Hilary will teach the GOPers how to exploit this political faux pas....so then they can get outraged at her (and Bill) all over again.
If the Dems win in '16, hopefully they will sent Congressman McCarthy a huge "Thank-you!"
What a dumb sob he is.........jeebus keeerist!

I was told by a prominent member of this board that Hillary is running a brilliant campaign and it was never in trouble.

Apparently swag, she is! If politics is a "know your opponents game", she be a genius!

There is virtually no legitimacy to the claims that Gowdy is simply on a witch hunt, but McCarthy really screwed the pooch on this one.

It may not matter, anyway. It appears Hillary is closer and closer to becoming toast. Biden and Warren are going to be the ticket. And will beat whoever the Republicans nominate.

You are assuming the Democrats are smart enough to understand this, Lone. Remember, the greatest asset the GOP has is they are running against Democrats.........and vice versa.
I never thought Gowdy was on anything other than a witch hunt...he and his boyz have turned up nothing other than innuendo. Really Lone...nothing substantial. McCarthy and his comments.......they are just bizarre.

I can't wrap my head around why Warren would run with Biden over Sanders, or why people would think that would happen.

Considering the quality of opposition, the Dems might be on the threshold of great political power since the days of FDR, The New Deal, WW2 and Harry Truman. This '16 election is crucial. Ms. Warren can be a player and considering Joe's age.....she could be "the man" in '20 and '24.
Now on the other side, as I previously mentioned, I don't think the Dems are smart enough to carry this off. But, remember, they are being opposed by the GOP.

Joel, you are simply factually wrong.

She's probably the most disliked woman in politics besides Palin. But vote for her buddy, she'll be sure to provide you with more war and less money in your wallet.

 

[moral_victory]

Same result if you vote for a Republic too.

 

[HawktimusPrime]

Same result if you vote for a Republic too.

Which is why we need to seriously look at correcting that.

 

[moral_victory]

Wonder how that is done. Instant Runoff voting may make a few Greens or Libertarians get into congress, but the two party system is really entrenched. I haven't looked too much into theories on breaking the 2 party system down.

So virtually no legitimacy means there is at least some legitimacy to the idea that this is a witch hunt, in your opinion? Is it really your contention that the same number of investigations, taking place over the same time period, would have occurred if the exact same attack had occurred but John McCain had won in 2008? The Republicans in Congress would have performed a cursory investigation that would have been over in six months.

and IF I don't vote for her buddy, what are you promising?

 

[HawktimusPrime]

and IF I don't vote for her buddy, what are you promising?

I promise I won't start wars, lie to you, yell at African students, advocate for the pre-crime taking of your future grand-children, let you smoke weed whenever you want, allow you to go grab a prostitute, protect yourself, etc, etc.

Do I have your vote?

She's already doing it. It's all she has been talking about since he said it. I can guarantee you that Hillary will start rolling out ads about this and then try connecting her emails to it. The GOP's sharpest weapon just got seriously blunted.

I'm not sure what you are basing this on. Hillary is leading all the other Dems by a mile and the online prediction markets have her winning by a mile, too. I would prefer Bernie, but Hillary will be the nominee. Hell, she already has a quarter of the super delegates shored up.

I'm not surprised. Hillary is a shrewd and savvy politician. She will make this part of her regular stump speech, too. She will hammer away at this narrative until the issue is either dead or the GOP becomes crippled. McCarthy could have single handedly destroyed the GOP's chances with this one slip.

In the hands of a skilled spinster it's most definitely a way out. Unless the GOP can find something concrete against, her, she can now play the McCarthy Card. It simultaneously gives her defense against their charges and allows her to go on offense that they are simply out on a witch hunt.

Do you really think Hillary will get charged with anything? I sure don't. I think it's more or less a pipe dream of the right. And now, she can legitimately label the GOP witch hunters. This one hurts the right.

Absolutely there is some legitimacy, although I don't think "witch hunt" is appropriate. It would be disingenuous to claim there is no partisan political component to the hearing. There sure as hell was for Watergate.

As for the question about McCain, if the Democrats held Congress and something comparable occurred, of course there would still be the same number of investigations. Probably more of them, because the mainstream media would be demanding them.

You missed my point. I am talking about Speaker Boehner investigating President McCain. I am certain this special committee doesn't exist.

Edit because I didn't proofread. I obviously mean President McCains Secretary of State.

Yeah, right Lone. I remember Senator Barry Goldwater saying they ought to throw "the son of a bitch" (that would be Dick Nixon) out of office for being a liar.

This recent event has not crossed the lines that Watergate crossed. It takes more than a smoking gun.

 

[Lone Clone]

I guess I did miss your point. I thought you were referring to a situation in which the positions were reversed. No, I don't think the current Congress would have gone after the issue as strongly if it had been a Republican administration. I don't think Watergate would have been investigated if it had occurred under a Democratic administration and everything else was the same, either.

But in neither case does that mean I think the investigations were unwarranted or purely political.

On a related matter, Trey Gowdy's appearance with Miss Megyn last night should be of interest to you vis-a-vis the Benghazi investigation.

That huge screwup comment by McCarthy will cost him....dearly within the Republican party, but the news this morning as reported by FOX is that Datto is cooperating in the e-mail probe. Hillary is toast.

McCarthy's comments have flipped the balance of power in Clinton's upcoming hearings. That and the testimony that is dribbling out now that shows the committee has no interest in finding out answers to the attack at Benghazi, and is laser focused on Clinton as a political target.

Of interest but not very surprising. He said that McCarthy made a mistake. That's obvious. I truly think that Gowdy is an honorable man. When he became the leader of this committee it was obvious he had a pretty sterling reputation as a prosecutor. But even in his initial comments, he compared these proceedings to a trial. Fairly obvious this has been a politically charged investigation, aimed at Hillary Clinton.

 

[aflachawk]

I never thought Gowdy was on anything other than a witch hunt...he and his boyz have turned up nothing other than innuendo. Really Lone...nothing substantial. McCarthy and his comments.......they are just bizarre.

Was the fact that she had a private server in her basement that all official e mail went through just innuendo?

 

[SIXERS24]

They found the secret server. So they have done some good!

Hillary is going down the FBI will do its job.

That is absolutely contrary to fact. What little we know about the testimony thus far indicates precisely the opposite.

I didn't say it was surprising. But his comments about how little of the investigation thus far has involved Clinton was interesting and highly relevant to the reaction to McCarthy's statement -- which, BTW, should disqualify him from being Speaker.

The beauty of GOP stupidity is that it is essentially without limit. No matter how stupid the GOP has just been, you can count on them being a littler stupider in a day or so. More darn fun.

Well, considering that the FBI just expanded their investigation on her........don't be so quick to make any bold statements. The FBI just grabbed more servers, including the company that was used as her backup and archive.

This is far from over. Talk about Benghazi all you want....that's just a distraction from the actual investigation.

The FBI will have the last say, not the GOP. BTW...why are you angry with the GOP, when it's been the State Department and the FBI releasing all the information regarding Hillary and her email servers?
