Ted Cruz is a shyster. Nothing more. Much of what he is talking about in that hack list is the president using the powers act. Something he has done about 139 times. George Bush used it about 220 times. Ted Cruz led the charge to shut down the government by goading congress. Then he stood at the world war 2 memorial and blamed Obama for it. What a joke. A shyster. Even the republican party hates the guy.

Ted Cruz knows more about the US Constitution than Obama and any gaggle of posters here, combined.

Scuzzy Harry Reid and Obama shut down the govt, not Cruz.

Obama orchestrated the WW2 Memorial shut down, as pay back to the proud generation that helped save this country, and world, for freedom.

And it's a proud badge of honor to wear that the old guard country club GOP dicks hate Ted. He reminds them of what a REAL conservative is suppose to be.

British Ceylon was granted independence as Ceylon. In 1972, Ceylon became a republic within the Commonwealth, and its name was changed to Sri Lanka. They do not possess fighters.

Obama, before becoming president, was a professor at the University of Chicago Law School for 12 years, who's expertise was in Constitutional Law.

Cruz was an adjunct professor of law at the University of Texas School of Law, where he taught US Supreme Court litigation for 5 years.

Both, I imagine, know the Constitution. But in politics that doesn't matter. Cruz will use any means necessary to gain power in the political arena, including lie, cheat and steal. I ask you, can you really trust a Canadian?

Seriously, Congress controls the purse strings of this country. if they decide to stop payment, there is nothing the president can do. And so, the Republican-controlled Congress rolled the dice and tried to strong-arm the president into giving in to their demands. Congress blinked first!

Cruz tucked his tail between his legs and cowered in the corner. And no amount of rearranging the truth can change that fact. He bluffed and the president called his bluff. It's as simple as that.

And now the sleaze-balls in the NRCC are raising funds off 4 dead Americans, and Boehner refuses to tell them to cease and desist. Shameless hucksters and snake-oil men, the lot of them.

It's called holding the people in power ACCOUNTABLE, you dumbass. This admin flat out lied about Benghazi, then stalled, so they could get re-elected. No one knows why Amb Stevens was even there, on 9-11, with a skeleton security crew, when all our other allies had bugged out. The threat of violence was very real, and EVERYONE knew it. Then the admin pitched this bullshit story about a youtube video because not only did it give the MSM a reason not to look further as to why Stevens was there in the first place, it also covered up the notion that al-Qaeda was dead. Joe ( Big fucking deal ) Biden was able to pitch the heinous campaign line " al-Qaeda is dead, and GM is alive ) , based on the idea that Obama had the terrorists on the run.

Oops, guess not so much in Libya, where we had just " liberated " an oppressed nation, as we lead from behind.

There is so much going on here that myrmidons don't see because you don't WANT to see. The facts are laid out bare for you, and you clinch your eyes shut because ...goddammit, the GOP are 100% right on this one, and you fucking HATE the GOP! Obama was the messiah, wasn't he ? He CAN'T be this wrong, this corrupt, and or this incompetent !

Yes, he can. And he is.

It's as simple as that.

He is not correct. The CIA station chief may have made that report, but that is not what the CIA gave to the White House.

See the CIA would take all the information in, not just what a single station chief reports.

It was a lie, but it wasn't used to cover up incompetence, it was used to cover up the fact that Benghazi was being used as an arms transshipment point, from jihadists in Libya to jihadists in Syria, via Turkey.

STORYMARK

Lets talk lies related to Benghazi:

John Mica (R-Fla.), asked General Robert Lovell if the military could have responded in time. His on-record response was no, they could not.

Mica then went into the hearing the very next day, and claimed that Lovell has said the exact opposite.

The House cannot shut down the government. The Senate cannot propose Spending, Expenditure, or Budget bills - or any Bills.
The House passed numerous Spending, Expenditure, and Budget Bills. Cruz would have voted for many of them, had not Harry Reid prevented the vote because he insisted on shutting down the government at Obama's behest.
The super extra spending of excessive expenses to block citizens from partaking in Private Parks was not part of shutting down the government, but merely Obama having a hissy fit

So, the Jr SENATOR from Texas " cajoled " the House of Representatives, an entirely separate body of Congress ? Really? Wow. That's some level of power !

Get him into the White House, IMMEDIATELY!! If only the Jr Senator from Illinois turned President could be so persuasive !

Fact, is , SENATOR Cruz recognizes the oncoming danger of Obama's reckless spending. If anything, Cruz did this NOT at any personal gain, but quite the contrary. He KNEW it would cost him, and he STILL did it.

That, my friend, is the mark of a TRUE patriot.

" All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing "

There is no smoking gun here with Benghazi and I believe this only plays to the right. It also makes many of us at the center pissed. With all the wasted votes" over 50 " to repeal the ACA, and all the time wasted on this, it just continues to show the Republicans look like when it comes to trying the help the middle class and the rest recover from all our jobs going to China and other places.

Benghazi 5 dead yes a tragedy.

This crap with Benghazi is a witch hunt to destroy Hillary Clinton and nothing more. Once again the Republicans go after a Clinton, and one can only speculate but I think this will again bite the Republicans in the .

Oooops.
