I'd also note (as I assume nobody here has taken a second to bother and read up about it) it lays plenty of blame on the State Department for not having better contingency plans on the table or responding to escalating threats. This is the rub, all this whistle blower flack appears to just be some ticked off insiders stating things that have already been investigated. -spence |

I'd note her husband left the presidency with a 66% approval rating (Gallup). And all this after killing Vince Foster. -spence |
Quote:
GALLUP The current rating is just one percentage point below her all-time high rating of 67%, from December 1998. Clinton's popularity may be partly due to the nature of the secretary of state position, which is somewhat above the fray of partisan politics and focused on defending U.S. interests globally. |
Yes 100% for sure. I guess that makes the majority a bunch of idiots.

both probably enjoy a helpful tailwind thanks to the fact that they've been media darlings since hitting the national scene...through good and bad the MSM has propped them both up....should probably add that "contex" when comparing those #'s to others who didn't enjoy the mediagasm to the same degree....... |

Very, very different. No one could ever confuse being shot at, with having to have a security detail but never coming under fire. If the pressure of simply having to take precautions, causes her to have delusional episodes about being in a combat situation, obviously she is nowhere near fit to be president. But she's not delusional, she's just a liar. Which, in a rational world, would also make her unfit for the Oval Office. But not if your last name is 'Clinton' or 'Kennedy'. If you are a democrat with one of those names, no amount of repugnant, immoral, hedonistic, greedy, degenarate actions, will ever cause the sheep to turn their backs on you. My wife is excited to browse. I genuinely wish I had some creative talent... |

I'd say 'clueless' rather than 'idiotic'. That, plus 99% of the media is in the bag for your side, and your side is great at putting a positive spin on an economically suicidal, and morally bankrupt, ideology. My father, who is my hero, has a PhD in electrical engineering. He is brilliant. He, like most Catholics of his generation, grew up voting for Democrats, back in the 1950's, before the democrats got radicalized in the 1960's. Today, my Dad believes that as a conservative, I am out to steal his social security benefits. I can show him the numbers that clearly show that we need to either double the federal income tax, or make serious cuts to SS and medicare. He's not quite convinced, because every TV station except one, says that conservatives dislike old people and poor people. |

But Nebe...come on...you have to admit, it takes a special kind of liar, to be able to say with a straight face that you came under sniper fire, when you know that never happened. Or my current favorite, CT Senator #^^^^& Blumenthal, democrat. Mr Blumenthal was caught lying about serving in the Vietnam War, he never went anywhere near Vietnam. Yet he won his election easily. I don't understand that, especially in this day and age, when we recognize the sacrifices those guys made. How do you nominate and then elect, such a weasel? |

Perhaps history is being re-written, but I seem to recall reading about very "right wing" Christians being instrumental in founding this country that allows anyone to be anything . . . except right wing Christian republicans, of course. Very "creative liberal" thinking. |

We don't even need to go into the conservative personalities like Will, Krauthamer, Brooks, Doutha, Parker etc... etc... etc... that contribute regularly to the largest newspapers you've accused of being liberal. I'd say your 99% number is off by about a billion. Quote:

Yes, he paid into SS and Medicare. HERE IS THE PROBLEM... What they have paid into these programs, combined with interest income, is nowhere near enough to pay for the promised benefits. The ony way to pay for those benefits, is to borrow, meaning future generations will be burdened with that much more debt. Please tell me if I'm wrong anywhere? Spence, when those programs were founded, there were more workers-per-retiree, retirees lived only a few years in retirement, medical costs were low, and interest rates were high. That made it feasible. Now, the math has turned upside down. Do you deny that? Or are you just unable to grasp the mathematical reality? Those programs are underfunded by, according to some estimates, $100 trillion. I conclude that if those programs are underfunded by $100 trillion, then the promised benefits are too rich. What other conclusion is there? "He's made a deal with the country and believes the country has an obligation to make good on that contract." That's one way of looking at it. Another way is to say that he was duped by Democrats who promised that if he voted for them, he would never let those mean Republicans take away his social security. That political tactic has been around for 70 years, because it works. It worked on my Dad. And sure as hell it worked on you. Spence, I have asked you this many times, and I can't recall that you have ever answered. Let's try again. Since your side are the self-appointed guardians of all that is noble...how are you going to come up with the tens of trillions of dollars that are needed? Flower power? Electric cars? If you can propose a way to do that, which doesn't involve tax increases that even you would have to admit are crippling, I will support it. I truly will. In summary, it doesn't matter what my Dad, or anyone else, feels they are entitled to. What matters is, we cannot begin to pay for the promised benefits. This is why George Will says that liberals are actively hostile to arithmetic. You talk about how mean it is to propose cutting these popular programs (all Ponzi schemes are popular with those who cash out before it implodes), but you don't offer fixes to the problem. Spence, exactly how much pay are you willing to confiscate from future generations, to pay for current benefits? Should our kids be levied 25 federal income tax points to pay for benefits for their grandparents' generation? That's not immoral, in your opinion? It's a lot easier to criticize from the sidelines, than it is to offer solutions to the problem. For proof of that, see what happened when Paul Ryan proposed changes to Medicare. The reaction from your side speaks for itself. |

Spence, tell that to Maryland Democratic Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. Congressman Ruppersberger probably knows almost as much about this story as you do, and he sees the need for further investigation, in light of recent revelations. He welcomes the upcoming House Oversight hearings on what happened in Libya, saying "That's what an investigation is about,” Ruppersberger told CBS. “Let's get the facts.” Democrats now critical of Rice's Benghazi explanation, amid more damaging evidence | Fox News I have no doubt that to you, these new revelations appear to be insignificant. Fortunately, for the sake of the families of the dead, that's not how it appears to some honest Democrats in the House. I await your snappy comeback... |
