Prediction: Benghazi to be used whip up Obama impeachment hysteria

The teabaggers were in a fit about it before the election - and they have not stopped.

Issa et al. will push this - Fiscal Cliff or no Fiscal Cliff.

I say bring it assholes.

Yup

The same ones that held AG Holder in contempt for Fast and Furious.

They live in their own fetid little bubble.

And they don't care.

Yup

This administration is very careful in being above board on everything, they know the GOP would jump on anything they can. Besides that whole thing has a GOP stink to it.

The Lewinsky affair was ruled immaterial in the Jones lawsuit. Perjury cannot be committed on an immaterial subject.

Please do some research before you spew right wing lies.

I don't know how to get the data on other administrations, but the above information needs to be said and posted over and over again.

10. If the actual Republic congress is so tone deaf to what the majority of American's want

I say let them go for it. The majority of the American people like this President. It will only make their holding the House come 2014 harder, IMO. I don't care about the redistricting, I think that if the Republic Congress spends time on anything other than improving the economy over the next two years, they're toast.

I'm also confident that there isn't anything impeachable going on. I firmly believe that Romney and Ryan got the briefings on what was happening, I think they saw classified info that tells the whole story and that's why THEY didn't make a stink about it on the campaign trail.

Tell the teabaggers to go to hell.

People hyped Benghazi as an issue that would eventually cost Obama the election. There isn't anything there. Stop feeding the RW.

In the Teapublican alternate reality of fear and hate their need be no real offence or solid evidence.
If they can't get that 'muslin' out of office then they will just try to spread their misery.
President Obama should be careful that Bo doesn't poop on the whithouse lawn.
From the knuckel draging freepers to their elected represenitivs I am convience their is no level the Teapublicans would not stoop to.

Question. Do I sound like I'm a bit tired of the John Teapublican Socity?

16. if they can hold off, about which I wonder, they'll wait til the 14 elections, hoping to gain seats

in both houses

all depends on how the economy goes

if they become stronger, you can just about count on it

that said, it wouldn't be surprising if they started in on impeachment-bound hearings right away. Issa is already at it.

and did you see Peter King this morning? he was just about foaming at the mouth

hope they're stupid enough to try it
