• So Who Lied to ABC News About the Benghazi Emails? So who lied to Karl? While Karl's report implied that he was quoting actual emails between the State Department, the CIA, and the White House, they were actually summaries written by congressional staffers who were allowed to read and take notes on the emails earlier this year. Associated Press. On March 19, there was a similar briefing in the House. Karl reports that included the members of the House Intelligence Committee, their staff, and a senior aide to Speaker John Boehner. Speaker John Boehner. (Boehner was invited, but sent an aide instead.) That's a lot of people, though a lot less than all Republicans on Capitol Hill. It's 12 senators, plus the staffers who attended the meetings, and 12 representatives, plus Boehner's aide.

• The White House on Wednesday released 99 pages of emails on last year's deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi in hopes of putting an end to a issue that Republicans in Congress have used for months to attack Obama and the Obama Administration. One of the newly released partly blacked-out email shows that then-CIA Director David Petreus objected to the final talking points that the U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice used on that page Peraeus- Depuity, Mike Morell scratched out from the CIA's early drafts of talking points mention of al Qaida. A senior U.S. Intellegence official told reporters Wednesday that Morell made the changes because of his concerns that they would prejudge an FBI investigation into who was responsible for the Benghazi attack.

• Why didn't the Obama Administration “ attempt to rescue Americans under fire?” in Benghazi. Actually, it did, a CIA response team was on the scene before the attacks were over. This is a “disagreement about tactics,” not a cover up. This hearing wasn't really about Benghazi, its sole purpose was to embarrass the President and “tarnish Clinton's lofty image as the early 2016 frontrunner.” But Republicans are discrediting themselves by “pushing bogus story lines” on Benghazi, and trying to turn it into a second Watergate. The GOP has cried wolf on Benghazi so often that whatever minor scandal they do eventually dig up, mainstream America is unlikely to care

• Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) acknowledged on Wednesday that House Republicans had consciously voted to reduce the funds allocated to the State Department for embassy security since winning the majority in 2010. For the past two years, House Republicans have continued to deprioritize the security forces protecting State Department personnel around the world. In fiscal year 2011, lawmakers shaved $128 million off of the administration's request for embassy security funding. House Republicans drained off even more funds in fiscal year 2012 -- cutting back on the department's request $331 million.

• I would say your employer has a very good pollicy, you life is worth more than $30.00. Why the GOP should not use the image of a elephant for their party, ”the elephant is a intelligent animal way to intelligent for the GOP”. They should use the Ostriches because the Ostriches is one of the dumbest bird in the world they sticks their head in a hole or some other dark place. Like I have stated before a GOP baby who poooops their pants will blame the baby in the next crib for their mess. The GOP wants to blame everyone except themselves for the Benghazi attack, but will ignore the real reason as stated below.

• Gas prices are based on GREED, the oil companies will charge what-ever they can get away- with and not destroy the economy. The hypocrisy of the Conservatives never fails to amaze me and the hypocrisy of blaming President Obama for rising gas prices is no exception! Gas price under Bush went to $4.21 a gallon and was over $3.00 a gallon most of his last term in office. The only reason gas was at $1.85 when President Obama took office is because of the economic crash which greatly reduced demand and the crash effected all countries not just the US.

• American families have been plagued by higher oil and gasoline prices over the past several years despite a significant increase in domestic oil production and a decline in consumption. But while high gas prices threaten the economy and family budgets, they enrich oil companies with huge profits. Apparently that doesn’t bother House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI), since his proposed fiscal year 2014 budget resolution appears to again keep a decade’s worth of oil tax breaks worth $40 billion for the oil-and-gas industry. Even more astounding, the budget would give the five biggest oil companies an additional multibillion-dollar tax cut by slashing the corporate income tax rate
