Do you think the Benghazi scandal could bring down Hillary's run for President?

No one cares. For one thing, at this point, everyone knows that Obama and his people lied about Benghazi, but the thing is that there has been so many worse scandals to happened that it has dwarfed whatever the republicans tried to make of Benghazi. At this point, everyone knows Obama is a liar, and people have come to terms with it. It's why he's at historically low approval ratings.
 
It shows that Hilary is an incompetent leader.

Seriously, she sent Stevens practically unguarded into an Al Qaeda controlled city for the ribbon cutting ceremony at an American Cultural Center. That's just plain incompetent. Either that or she wanted him dead.

Did Hillary order Stevens to go to that... what did you call it? Whatever, Hillary is in charge of god knows how many people, and she has time to order this one guy to this place which by the way, she also knows is certain death, because she has time to keep up with the intelligence reports of this particular place when she is the chief diplomat for the ENTIRE WORLD. I get it you don't want Hillary as president, I don't either, but c'mon man!
 
Your right and the GOP has to keep bringing that up over and over again and the same with Benghazi.

Because your party has nothing positive to offer our Great nation--just as in the 2012 POTUS primaries .
 
No. What matters is likely democratic voters and I have seen nothing to indicate that the Benghazi scandal has that much of an effect on them.
 
Benghazi.....some Republican's wet dream. They will spout Benghazi each time they can't remember why their candidate is the bee's knees.:lamo

Hey guys...I have it on good authority that Hillary was born in Kenya and is Muslim.
 
Right now Benghazi is pretty much a non-issue. There is way too much other things happening in the world. I think come 2016 Benghazi will have played out. Perhaps those who are going to vote against her will use it as their reason. For the Hillary backers, Benghazi means nothing. For independents, they haven't really paid Benghazi any attention up to now and that is probably how they will continue. For Benghazi to play an important role in 2016, something much more sinister has to be uncovered than what is now known. Outside of that, it will be an issue for die hard Republicans only. That is my take on this thing today.

Thanks. You saved me the trouble of typing this.

Good morning Perotista. My take is a little different. People in general may not be interested in Benghazi and Hillary Clinton's involvement because the MSM isn't reporting on it.

This story
Did Clinton Aides Withhold Damaging Benghazi Documents?

was written by an emmy winning journalist, S. Attkinson revealing a cover up of the State Department involving Clinton's top aides over Benghazi. The media has failed to report on the story even though it is well sourced. The day the story broke happens to be the same day the media went crazy over the alleged Palin family brawl picking up the story off a local Alaskan political blog by a known Palin hater. Her story was not sourced but the media gave it plenty of time in headlines and newscasts while remaining silent over the Benghazi story written by an emmy award winning journalist that was well sourced. This is why the people are not interested, most aren't even aware of the latest bombshell. And it is a bombshell. Yet I bet most of them have heard about the alleged Palin brawl.

The partisan always looks away when their party is involved in wrong doing, foolish as it is, it's what partisans do, and it's not unique to one party. Bush had his share of scandals as an example, were the folks on the right as eager to dig into his cover ups? I think the Benghazi scandal should be exposed completely, it goes far deeper then the attack at the end, but most likely Gowdy won't produce much, the government isn't keen on investigating and prosecuting itself.

I think you underestimate Gowdy. This time there is a government witness, with a stellar record as a government servant who was privy to the whole affair. He knows where all the political bodies are buried and can lead the way to discovery.
 
The only thing that will matter regarding Hillary will be who the chosen opponent turns out to be.

If the Republicans continue to nominate the same kinds of candidates like they've done in the past 10-15 years, Hillary would have to start killing infants on national TV to lose.

Benghazi?? Phhhtppt.....won't matter.
 
what are your thoughts?

I think NO. Just follow the link and look at some figures

Dead Americans and lies for Political convenience really cracks you up apparently.

No, not at all. I just do not think a lot of the rhetoric from the Right matches up to the reality of the situation.

When the Right starts blathering on about Benghazi and Hillary....those dug into the right will buy it hook line and sinker...but those centrists will be more apt to fact check the "facts" and understand that they are desperate attempts to deflect from lack of ability in the candidate they Right is trying to promote.
 
Thanks. You saved me the trouble of typing this.

My pleasure. It seems to me the die hards of both political parties live in their own little dream world. Both have little to do with reality.

I do not know. I never heard of the Palin brawl until I saw the thread on it here on this site. Then I didn't read it as Palin is history and irrelevant to the upcoming election. She isn't running. Outside of FOX, the MSM does tilt towards the Democrats, some overtly, others more in a covert sense. But it is more or less a fact that those who are not hard line Republicans or Democrats tends to pay more attention to issues that effect them personally. This is probably the reason the economy and jobs or the state there of will have more of an impact on an election than foreign policy.

That is unless another 9-11 happens and then the people feel threaten and that impacts them. Benghazi is old news and we, most of Americans have short memories. For those not political junkies or the hard core of either party, I think now a days anything dealing with it goes into one ear and out the other if it ever enters the ear.

Now having said all of that, if evidence comes to light of breaking the law, deleting and shredding documents could qualify. But whomever would have to have enough evidence to indict someone for the crime. Then those who do not give a darn now, regardless of the MSM, would sit up and start paying attention.

That I don't disagree with, Gowdy is pretty cool, and capable, but this investigation will end like the warren commissions and the 9/11 commissions and others. If they find wrong doing it will be minimal and will stop far short of Hillary Clinton. Wanta bet?

You're certainly right, and this goes both ways.

Not likely. 4,500 Americans died in Iraq for Bush's political convenience, that wasn't funny either.

The witness is suppose to give testimony soon. The bits and pieces I have picked up is very damning. The left is probably combing through his past like a fine tooth comb trying to find some thing ......anything to discredit him. I won't place a bet at this time but I do think what is about to be told has the real potential to put Benghazi once again on the front burner.
