That there was a hearing on Benghazi yesterday? And that all but 2 Democrats walked out on the testimony of the families of those who were killed there? Only Elijah Cummings and Jackie Spear remained. The others "excused themselves."
What a completely corrupt bunch.. I say again - I will never cast a vote for anybody with a D next to their name. "Qui tacet consentire" - "Silence gives consent". Anybody who remains within the party gives consent to these people and all that they stand for.
Nino over at WCBM radio has kindly e-mailed me the list of those who didn't feel that the families of the Benghazi dead had anything of interest to say:
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (NY-14)
Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D.C.)
Rep. John Tierney (MA-6)
Rep. Wm. Lacy Clay (MO-1)
Rep. Stephen Lynch (MA-9)
Rep. Jim Cooper (TN-5)
Rep. Gerald Connolly (VA-11)
Rep. Matt Cartwright (PA-17)
Rep. Mark Pocan (WI-2)
Rep. Tammy Duckworth (IL-8)
Rep. Danny K. Davis (IL-7)
Rep. Peter Welch (VT)
Rep. Tony Cardenas (CA-29)
Rep. Steve Horsford (NV-4)
Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham (NM-1)
People who are calling are either getting snarky responses or being told that they had "constituancy meetings." Their phone line and e-mail boxes need to be flooded with protests. The State Department has refused to talk to these families at all. The members of that committee damn well better at least give them the courtesy of listening.
I was sickened. Seriously. The lack of respect for the families was so un-American.
ReplyDeleteIt's as if we live in a new world that is not brave but vile filled with hatemongers, dividers, and destroyers of everything that America was founded upon. Times have indeed changed and I pray we can recover. I worry that most of the political class is so clouded that the common man has no voice anymore and I am tired of both those with the D and the R...seriously.

Oh, yes. I removed the R from my registration years ago because I was so disgusted with them. However, at least neither their platform or leaders are as visibly and proudly corrupt as the D's.

Yes. Add "contemptible" in front of that.
DeleteThanks for posting this too!
ReplyDeleteThe families deserve more than this.
DeleteI am cross posting this
ReplyDeletePost away!
DeleteI'm wondering if these are the same reps who proudly stood by as Obummer paraded parents and classmates from Newtown across the stage, and applauded the "common sense" gun control laws that were, rightly (and ironically) quickly shot down. D, R, doesn't matter. They're all parasites.
