"Why are you watching that crap"?

my husband is so pissed off at these hearings...been in a bad mood all day...

he won't watch them but I fully expect one of his Dem buddies to call and give him a rant on the hearings. He's just in denial that they are even happening.

Can't say I blame him, but he sits and steams. I'll sweeten him up later with a nice glass of cold white wine...but sheesh...

hubby says simply "It's time to have a woman president."

I can't disagree with that, despite my support for Bernie...

Once he calms down and gets around to your viewpoint, he'll be fine...

Benghazi, emails... these are buzz words that set off whole fantasy experiences for GOP voters. For me I find myself saying, why the F* is this crap going on? There are real issues in this country and emails and Benghazi don't begin to approach them. More and more I tune out the GOP. They don't belong to the real world and I refuse to pay attention to their paranoid fantasies.

faux news, fake news, hate media, your choice same difference.

I know a lot of right wing bagger types. Mostly they are all right peeps. No really, for the most part they are ok people. Until certain topics arise. Oh, Any Clinton, Carter, Ted Kennedy, Obama, Benghazi, Muslims, ISIS, 911, Black People, Cops, Guns, Abortion, and Gay people. These nice mostly ok people totally go off the rails. Nutzo in 2 seconds flat, faster then Usian Bolt.

Its as if they have been programed to foam at the mouth like some type of Pavlovian conditioning. Its rather scary.

But if your news is not based on facts but extreme political opinions who preying on peoples fears, you do developed a warp sense of reality. It also explains their anger. Damn these people are angry. I feel pity for their miserable lives. It is truly a sad way to live.

She has called me at least three times today, not to mention the furious texts. I try not to laugh at her because it makes me happy that she is actually paying attention and she is back on Hillary's side. I just listen and agree. She will make her own mind up, but these republicans are turning at least one on-the-fence person toward Hillary. This makes me happy.

10. This whole thing has been engineered to keep us arguing over Benghazi instead of paying attention.

It's all kabuki theater.

We should be talking about how the illegal intervention in Libya has thrown the region into chaos and generated untold suffering.

(like every single Democrat didn't know already), they should have quietly canceled the hearings and hope nobody sued.
