Hillary Wins

This week's testimony by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sums up everything that is out of touch with the Republican Party.

To better understand what is going on and why Hillary's presence was so demanded by Republicans you have to step back from reality for a moment and enter into a make-believe world where everything is a conspiracy.  Truly that is why Republicans think Benghazi is so important.

They believe the administration convened a huge cover up about the events of the attack on the American embassy that left 4 dead.  They believe the administration was negligent by ignoring intelligence warnings leading up to the attack; and that the administration tried to downplay the attack by claiming it was just a random protest turned violent.  For this, the GOP and Fox News viewers think Hillary should be fired, Obama should be impeached and we should immediately start governing the way Republicans want or face annihilation.

But history, factual history, paints a very different story of what is really prompting the GOP to appear to care.


Now what possibly could cause Republicans not to care when over 30 people were killed at American embassies and consulates over a 6-year period?  Oh that's right, George W. Bush was the Decider and everything was perfect in the world. Republicans were governing as fiscal conservatives by running up a trillion dollar deficit and doubling the federal debt.  They were busy trying to privatize Social Security, growing government to huge levels and bailing out mega-wealthy CEO's with trillions in tax payer money.

But now that those good ol' days are gone, they want everyone to believe they care.  And their Fox News minions and Facebook conspiracy theorists are more than happy to go along with the charade.
