No, because no matter what Hillary would have never won the "Benghazi terror conspiracy people" vote anyway so it will not hurt her that these people will keep going nuts about this issue.

As long as the republicans keep choosing a hopeless cause as their next presidential nominee, Hillary will win the election real easy.

Why would anyone vote for Hillary Clinton? And do you really believe a man like Mitt Romney was 'a hopeless cause'?

Yes, the etch-a-sketch guy was a hopeless case from the beginning. He was a New England moderate who had to "conservative himself up" to get enough votes in the primaries to defeat a whole host of actual conservatives. He went all "conservative" after which he had to recreate himself as an acceptable alternative for non-republicans. He failed in that, largely because he lacked likeability and charisma, he had way too much money and no real appeal for anyone who was not totally and purely anti-Obama.

And he had the perfect storm, an unpopular president who's landmark legislation was not going down well with large parts of the population. An economy that was sluggish and a lot of real and made up "scandals".

But still, Obama won easily in the end and was inaugurated once again. If in three years the economy is good again it will be all Hilary's to loose and for republicans almost impossible to win.

You've used a few of the cliches about Romney but how is the man 'a hopeless cause"? He is very successful, created thousands of jobs in the private sector, has had a great deal of business, management and governing experience while Obama has what? Slogans? Stories?

It doesn't seem you are looking at this at all fairly. Perhaps Mitt Romney is a 'hopeless cause' in your book but America could use a million more like him.

As a presidential candidate he was a hopeless cause.

He was an elitist, prancing dancing horse owning, car elevator kind of a guy. No military experience (that was something McCain could at least show he had), magic underwear and member of a cultist religion.

Than he also had some obvious gaffes, like the 47% speech. His etch-a-sketch remark also did not help.

And being a good business man does not mean that you will be a good president. And what Obama has done? He became president and won re-election. That is what Obama has done and that is more than Romney can say.

Right . Romney was an elitist prancing his horse while Obama gets a pass on his drug use. I can see why that would be an important issue to many and disqualify him as President.

The bar for becoming US President has been set as low as it possibly can be. Hillary Clinton will be the next example of that.

It boggles the mind how you on the left can take this terrorist attack so lightly when 4 good Americans were killed The sad part is the administration lied about it and tried to cover it up.

What is even MORE boggling is how the far-right wingers are all up in arms (feigned outrage) over the death of four Americans....but couldn't give a rats ass about the thousands who died in Iraq.

It boggles the mind how the right tries to make a mountain of something that is not even the size of a molehill. It is terrible that those 4 Americans died, but there is no cover-up and the lies are mostly in conservative minds rather than in reality. Were mistakes made when this issue was addressed? Yes, in the situation where little or no actual facts were knows administration and congressional remarks (from both sides of the isle) often missed the mark. IMHO that was due to misinformation or people just pulling things from their backside.

In the Bush era consulates and embassies were attacked regularly without the outrage from the right at that time. All the republicans are doing is :beatdeadhorse

It is evident from their silence. The right-wing was cried vocally about the four dead in Benghazi....but their silence on Iraq proves that they don't give a damn about the thousands.

The truth often hurts. The right-wing doesn't give a flying **** about the dead in Iraq. GWB used them like pawns in a chess game and they were and still are content with that....so save me your feigned outrage about 4 dead in Benghazi. You don't care a damn about them...you only want to use it for political gain....which you haven't been able to despite your never-ending efforts. It is sickening how you guys use the dead of our military to advance your political agendas.

There is nothing the right-wing loves more than a dead American if they think for a second that they can use it to advance their agenda. Its down-right sickening.

And liberals support murderers like Clinton, they get excited when the government turns its back on its own as they have have stated in this thread
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden

No. The people who consider the Benghazi incident a significant negative for the Obama adminstration would never have voted for Hillary anyways.

What the hell do you mean there was no lie and no over up????? For 2 weeks after the terrorist attack took place there were saying the attack was caused by a U2 Video. That was a lie and a cover up..... What part of that do you not understand??? I think that terrorist attack was much worse then Watergate and a presidents head rolled there, Those are the facts.
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden

Poll Question(s) 101: The question should be unbiased, provide a range of answers and a brief synopsis of the issue. Unfortunately the current poll is unreliable.

Anyway, the Benghazi attack is unlikely to affect Hillary Clinton's current potential. The entire scandal has fallen into a disarrayed mass of opinion vs opinion. In all honesty, most of the people who care are those who already opposed her beforehand. The only network consistent with Benghazi is Fox.

Now, does Hilary have good or bad potential for winning? I don't know. I don't like any of the current potential candidates on either side, so hopefully some fresh faces emerge.

Those definitely aren't the facts. But I would love to know which U2 video you think they said it was about? Bloody Sunday maybe?

No matter how badly the right wants this to be a big cover up and scandal it's just not going to happen.
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden

I doubt it will harm her, but think she has little chance otherwise. I'm certain she regrets her comment about a middle of the night call. Candidly, I doubt if she runs.

Your poll is biased as hell from the get-go.

Question: Will Hillary's Handling of Benghazi Damage Her Run for the Presidency

1. Absolutely

2. Somewhat

3. Not significantly

4. Not A Factor

Post a synopsis of what happened at Benghazi in the OP...as a reminder of what occurred.

In your words: What do you think?

He starts many polls and usually not legitimately worded, begging then for people to ignore his wording.
