Should the Democrats boycott the Select Committee?

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

This came up in another thread, but I'm curious to know the wisdom of the group.

For me boycotting entirely lets the inmates run the asylum, but participating makes it appear that there's some degree of legitimacy.

Other options?

Edit: Had "Yes" and "No" responses mixed up.

4. We can't let them run the whole circus

We need our side to question why the right allowed this to happen due to budget cuts.

5. That's a good point

Perhaps one of the Democratic members of the House (whichever committee cut the funding for embassy security) Committee could give a deposition describing how the funding was cut.

7. It will be a waste of time. Like trying to talk to a wild dog barking in an alley. Let people see it

for what it is. A political stunt.

8. Let Boehner assign them to his sham committee. Then walk out of the first meeting.

Ds should not waste a year, 100s of hours of 'meetings' and then quit, like Boehner did.

10. I don't thing the Orange Man assigns the Demcrats

Pretty sure that's Pelosi's gig.
