Benghazi investigation & now CNN dredges up Monica Lewinsky..

CNN just now talking about Lewinsky, her book & asking the burning question: "What does this now mean for Hillary Clinton's Presidential run?"
Painting Monica as a young victim of the forces of power around her at the time of the affair.
I would say that the same forces that brought Lewinsky to President Bill Clinton's Oval Office are still out there playing the same game, chipping away at Hillary's higher-than-Jeb's poll numbers with all they can dredge from the past.
Benghazi & Lewinsky.

I am sickened by their more than obvious attempts at smear, in hanging it around Hillary Clinton's neck.

I may not survive the elections of 2014 & 2016.
The Kochligarchy has already chosen Jeb Bush as our next President.

----------------
We may as well continue on from yesterday's thread and add Lewinsky as this weeks media darling of the GOP News.
Its a mental sickness.

They'll do whatever it takes to put their pocket pal Jeb in Office in 2016.
Same MO they used to put pocket pal George in the Presidential seat.

I think I'd be careful if I were them. Dredging up Monica also makes people think back to the Clinton era and what that meant to ordinary Americans: jobs, security, peace and prosperity. And I think there are an awful lot of Americans who feel that a b.j. in the White House between consenting adults just wasn't enough to cancel out the good stuff about the Clinton Administration.

But far be it from me to keep the GOP from being stupid...

And who will release it- saying that Hillary and Jeb are now tied for 2016?

Taking bets now. It will happen.


The stupidity and transparent manipulation in the MSM and GOP is depressing.

Jeb will be the final blow to this Nation as we once new & loved it.
He will be selected to complete what his father & brother began.

...unless you have evidence as to who THEY are, and how THEY insinuated her in White House to entrap President Clinton.

She's a nut who won't go away. She'll be riding the gravy train for another round.
