Something I don't understand about the latest GOP conspiracy.

But first, some advice to men everywhere.

Advice to men everywhere. (This is not limited to powerful or wealthy men)

1. Hell hath no fury as the Other women scorned.

2. Every man is capable of being seduced by a woman hell bent on seducing him.

3. One Other woman at a time is more than you can’t handle.

Advice to loving supportive wives out there.

1. See #2 above.

2. If a gorgeous young woman almost half your husband’s age spends a year ‘imbedded’ with him in Iraq and Afghanistan, Nate Silver would say there is a 89.9% chance that she’s been ‘inbedded’ with him. Get your head out of the sand.

Advice to the skanks of the world out there who have their eyes set on someone else’s husband.

I know you think your VaJayJay is 18 karat gold, but there’s always another skank just around the corner with a VaJayJay that younger, tighter, and prettier than yours, and hasn’t yet been explored by the someone else’s powerful husband you just scored. Tend to your own home fire and leave other women's husbands alone.

That said, I don’t understand what the Obama hating GOP’s exact angle is in this conspiracy. The GOP is certain that there is a WH cover up here and just like most GOP conspiracy’s, it lacks a cohesive theory from start to finish.

So we know that Peter King and Darryl Issa, have been on a perpetual witch hunt against the Obama Administration with Bengazi being the latest since the Fast and Fury witch hunt was growing stale and they were unable to articulate an impeachable offense against the sitting president.

Gen Patraeus, a Republican, and the darling of the right wing including John McCain and Lindsey Graham, was expected to be a presidential candidate for the GOP, as early as 2012 and would have very much been considered for 2016, until now.

Implications I been reading from rightwingnuts is that the Obama administration was blackmailing Petraeus with the info about the affair to coverup for the Administrations failings. Well, as quickly as Patraeus resigned, that tells me, that he is not that capable of being blackmailed, and if the threat was coming from the WH with the blessings of President Obama, why not blow the whistle himself, before the election, and take Obama down with him before the election.

Besides, Bob Woodward has reported that Patraeus made a trip to Tripoli last month to conduct his own investigation, and his report clears the Obama Administration of any wrongdoing.

So if someone out there has a clear cut explanation of just what the rightwingnuts believe the President is guilty of, could you please explain it to me.

I find it stunning that the current rightwingnut conspiracy machine which brought into the Sadaam Hussain has WMD and conpired with AlQaeda on 9/11 never lifted a finger to investigate anything during the last administration, but now spends all their time chasing shadows. Yes I know that 4 men died in Bengazi, but lets not forget that more than 4000 troops died in Iraq and we have 30,000 troops with Tramatic Brain Injuries who we will be supporting for the rest of their lives, and another more than 2000 dead in Afghanistan, but where McCain and Graham wanted to stay forever.

to attempt to sway the election, re Benghazi. He thought rMoney would win and would keep him at CIA and install his girlfriend as National Security Advisor. The FBI found out about his infidelity and were able to keep him and his girlfriend from leaking additional strategically sensitive info. petraus was co-ordinating with the rMoney campaign and republickcons in Congress, cantor and issa on this.

Criminal charges should ensue.

Women are the gatekeepers of the world. It's up to us to set the ground rules. But some of them are lazy. Instead of building and cultivating their own relationships, they want to move in on someone else's. This woman has two children, a 4 yr old and a 6 yr old. She definitely had no time to be screwing around, while her family is babysitting for her. I have less respect for Patraeus because he had to have known she had young kids at home, and should have sent the jezabell on her way.

Well I reject that and it is degrading of men as a group to say it. Not all men fall for a siren.
