82. Am so tired of this phony GOP outrage while Rome burns.

Nov 2012

There's work to be done on the Post Office, the fiscal crisis/cliff and immigration. There is no way anyone could get good intelligence quickly about Benghazi. Any investigation takes time to figure out what happened and sometimes no one ever figures it out completely. Early reports are usually wrong. Especially in a foreign country with minimal government/security in place. The GOP is just making everyone angry with its hysterical comments signifying nothing. The GOP is further insulting the people of this country and their numbers will go down even further if they don't get down to doing what they were sent to Washington to do. Accept it GOP - you lost because of your own incompetence. Don't further prove that point with this nonsense about Benghazi.
