[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Benghazi ‘scandal’ is really about the worst example you can imagine of a partisan clown car driving through Washington. As the President said pretty succinctly, “the whole issue of talking points, frankly throughout this process, has been a sideshow.”

The additional information we’ve gotten over recent weeks points to a turf war and blame-shifting between the State Department and the CIA over who was responsible for what happened, a feud seemingly rooted in the fact that the location in question was in fact a CIA facility under State Department cover.

From the git-go, the Benghazi story has been the partisan hunger for a scandal - first to shift the presidential election and then later to try to recover from it - trying to find something, really anything in a tragic series of events to make into a scandal.

First it was apologizing to the terrorists. Then it was not using the t-word soon enough. Then it was President Obama in the Situation Room watching the attack unfold and calling off a rescue. Now, we’re down to whether the State Department and the CIA massaged talking points that an administration official was going to use on a Sunday show. The only real after the fact issue there’s ever been is why there wasn’t enough or whether there should have been more security at such a vulnerable location. But that’s not a politically juicy enough question to get attention because it’s very hard to connect it in a meaningful way to important political players.

Lying to the American people is serious. Doing it to shift an election is heinous.

None of you consider the fact that if there was nothing to hide, there would be no issue. However the deaths of four Americans on 9/11 of all days by terrorists was a failure and embarrassment to the Administration.  Especially so close to election. So they lied to y'all, and still you defend the indefensible. And now, you are seeing how crooked they are. And we've hit the iceberg's tip[/quote]

Oh please.

1.  No one shifted the election.  This all got covered prior to the election.  Romney and Obama even debated it.
2.  Nothing except your conspiracy theory backs up the idea that this was done to shift the election.
3.  If you want someone actually admitting to trying to shift an election, go here:  http://radio.foxnews.com/2009/08/22/ridge-on-record-as-disagreeing-with-bushco-on-raising-threat-levels-in-2005/#.UZI0JZVWB7E

There is your scandal.  Go investigate that one.[/quote]
