And spending millions on helping poor people is way more expensive than spending trillions on unnecessary war. It's Republican math. You just start with your average everyday calculator . . . and smash it to bits. Then arrange those bits so it spells out "We hate Hillary."

or at least how the business of Congress has been subverted to mean the business of the GOP. Or, I fear, of the Democrats should they regain the majority.

It is an indicator of how much the GOP hates Hillary and how they will spend all of their time and effort working against her, if she was president. It cost $5 million, which is a drop in the bucket when compared to campaign spending, and has not had any effect on voters, IMO. The GOP voters were not going to vote for Hillary anyway, and I cannot imagine supporting/voting for Hillary out of sympathy, and ignoring the issues that I so strongly disagree with.

23. Hillary Reads "The Pet Goat," Ignores Benghazi Questions
Thu Oct 22, 2015, 03:41 PM
Oct 2015

Ah, satire showing the complete hypocrisy of the Republicans regarding this Benghazi bullshit.


Hillary Reads "The Pet Goat," Ignores Benghazi Questions

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Today, Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ignored all questions from the Select Committee on Benghazi, which infuriated Republican committee members. Rather than listening to and answering questions, Clinton gave the whole event very low priority and sat calmly in her chair as she read a children's book by the name of "The Pet Goat."

And...

"I don't know what you are reading, Secretary Clinton. It certainly seems more important to you than threats to national security, protecting Americans, and responding to a crisis in a timely manner," stated a red-faced Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC-04), the chairman of the kangaroo committee.



The book is commonly referred to as "My Pet Goat," but that is incorrect. It is "The Pet Goat."

U gotta give it to her. My respect for her has risen watching her today. Some of the looks on her face was gold but she kept her wits and never spoke against them. But the dems sure did. They made me glad to be a democrat. It also makes me sad that mob rule has taken over our gov't

I think even less of the GOP now than I did a few hours ago! Didn't think that was possible. What a piece of work those republicans are! They want nothing beyond destroying Hilary. I have never been Hilary's biggest fan but she has somehow maintained her composure. My admiration for her has grown a lot!
Does the GOP have any idea how they are coming across? They are being complete jerks! Vicious SOBs!

They have no gauge on the public because they are so out of touch with sane Americans. They are so obsessed with destroying the democrats in this coming election that it's causing dementia. The goal is to have all 3 branches of gov't again. Which terrifies me. Look what happen the last time. Now they have Paul Ryan as their new speaker.
I think what they have done is going to backfire. They are just proving how knowledgeable and controlled she is.
They have screamed at her today and it never rattle her. I believe her poll numbers now will go up even more.
Her husband had that. The more they went after him the more the country supported him.

What a load of crap. The only good thing is that Hillary, being a strong an individual as she is, will make mincemeat out of these incompetent thugs. This is why we have to get out and vote and get rid of this house majority of stupidity.
