Rep.Trey Gowdy rips liberal media over Benghazi

Written by Allen West on November 10, 2013

Here is truly one of the exceptional good guys on Capitol Hill, my former colleague and friend Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC). I would love to see President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Susan Rice being questioned by Rep. Gowdy, with no 5 minute time limit.

The interesting thing is that the pathetic cowards of the Obama media cannot answer these questions either. The media who does not seek the truth is complicit in the deaths of these four Americans. And if Speaker of the House John Boehner continues to refuse to bring forth a vote on a select committee, well, I and many Americans are waiting for an explanation.

One day Trey Gowdy will be our US Attorney General.

In my dreams, Colonel, You’d be the one to appoint him.

Not exactly a manufactured crisis after all. Thanks for sharing Colonel and thank you for your service to our country and my family.

For an Admiral, he stutters and stumbles over all his answeres! Shame!

All Right Trey!!!!!!
We will support you 100%

Excellent questions Rep. Gowdy… Now let’s start cracking some skulls.
- Schawminator
  
  Gowdy cannot crack anything without Boehner stepping down or having an epiphany for doing the right thing
  - Jeannie Hurley
    
    Then someone needs to have a wee bit of a chat with Boehner and tell him to wake up and smell the decay of the American way of life.
  - Schawminator
    
    I believe if enough people wrote to Daryl Isa we could get some real action.
  - Jeannie Hurley
    
    I don’t know- Issa was trying to get the answers to these questions and was totally stonewalled by Hillary and the Democrats in the committee.
  - Schawminator
    
    We need a Speaker of the House like Gowdy and much of this BS in the hearings would not be allowed. The speaker controls the subject material and whom can be brought in to testify. Case in point, at least 5 in congress have requested hearings to Boehner to review the discoveries of ID Fraud committed by Obama and want Zullo and Corsi to testify to these fact findings. Boehner will not move on that or to investigate the published accounts of the Egyptian Courts that Obama and his half brother are involved in financial support of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Trey is about the only one with Balls enough to call them on the carpet, which is unfortunate! And, he does it well. But for Pete’s sake change to do….lol.
- Sylvia Sparks Simpson
  
  Actually there are several strong Congressmen on Benghazi. Coming to mind Chavetz of Utah, Jordan of Ohio and Congresswoman Blackburn of Tennessee. But when you have absolutely no cooperation from the regime it is hard to get to the facts. We all know the media would be screaming at the top of their voices if the president’s name was Bush.
Sherill Weber

The questions he is asking are very much the same things my friends and I bring up and talk about. We lost four Americans over in Benghazi and more important there are parents, wives, children and friends that lost their loved ones. I think President Obama is showing disrespect to those family and our nation. And why can’t they interview those witnesses? I feel Obama is covering for his administration for all their mistakes and I think he is covering for Hillary. After all isn’t she planning on running for President in 2016? I have another question,,,,wasn’t it convenient that she ended up in the hospital when the hearings were getting hot and did she really resign because she needed to rest or was she asked to resign and Obama would keep quiet on her mistake so she could eventually run for President? Wouldn’t that be a great cover up???
- Charie
  
  In the case of Hillary and Barack, I think they each are covering the other’s lying backsides.
  - MotherBatherick
    
    George Soros favors Hillary (that was his first pick before they chose obama) and he also favors Valerie Jarrett so…all 3 probably told obama to “stand down” and keep his mouth shut.
Paul

wow…….can you imagine what having Congressman Gowdy as the Attorney General would have been like instead of the charlatan we actually have over the past five years?
- DixT
  
  I would LOVE to have Trey Gowdy as the U.S. Attorney General! But we’ve got to elect a Republican/Conservative to the Presidency, before that can happen (and I DO NOT mean Chris Christie)!!!
  - Paul
    
    LOL…..the 2016 elections are still a bit off and lots will happen. The important thing is we need to win next year. Being right isn’t worth much unless you have a majority.
  - justapatriot
    
    I agree.. we need to flip the Senate and keep the House. We also need to get rid of Boehner, Graham, McCain, Ayotte, and all the RINOs asap.

Good questions, two he left out:
1. What’s the timeline for President Obama during the Benghazi incident? Where was he, what was he doing?
2. What’s the timeline for Secretary of State Clinton during the Benghazi incident? Where was she, what was she doing?
- James W.
  
  since the attacks started in the early afternoon DC Time, they were both supposedly still at work - least i hope so. but when five o’clock comes about, did they check out? did they stay around or did they just ask for updates and leave.
  Story from a career special ops forces guy. whos retired now. was on a statewide talk show here in texas a couple of months ago, He said His very reliable sources in DC told him that the stand down order came from Valerie Jarrett
  - MotherBatherick
    
    Agreed. It should be made public that Valerie Jarrett has rank over obama.
  - Charie
    
    It’s time then that she’s subpoenaed to testify.
- SeaWarrior
  
  Another interesting question might be why did they wait for the Accountability Review Board (ARC) to finalize it’s inquiry report, then let Hillary review it BEFORE she testified??? That would be while she was recovering from her brain fart problem! Seems that might “make a difference anyway!” Also, why is it a CNN Reporter (or some other media reporter - unsure) can locate and interview one of the major terrorist players of Benghazi but Obama and the FBI can’t seem to locate the hotel he’s been living in for weeks or months??? I have never seen a more ignorant and inept bunch of liars in my entire life. It is a national shame and disgrace to be as damn stupid and cowardly as Obama and Hillary. What a waste of flesh!!!
Aida Payton

no access to the witnesses because all cover up..
Robert Long

The media doesn’t report news anymore, they disseminate the word of the leader.
Lost questions about the thousands of stolen Surface To Air missiles that are stolen.
There is no doubt that the weapons stolen were the reason of the attack, brought about by a deal gone bad like Fast and Furious. Something was offered to the terrorists and the deal wasn’t met and they took what they wanted and killed the middle men in the process. No administration in the history of this Nation can come close to the wide range of corruption and crime from THIS administration. Barry surrounds himself with people that are connected to the muslim brotherhood that are ready to throw this Country under the bus to further the MB.
Schawminator

Boehner is our problem as well as America. Boehner must step down and it is possible some type of protection must be given him to do so. Many in DC now believe the Obama administration has made threats or promises to release info/dirt on Boehner and or his family.
- Hoschi0913
  
  you do know that everyone can run for speaker of the house right ? you don’t need to be a member of congress or any party for that matter
  - Schawminator
    
    As long as the Speaker position is open someone can seek nomination. Boehner must step aside so the peoples work can get done.
  - justapatriot
    
    Boehner can be impeached as well.
- Gt
  
  Right on, That should have been Boehner asking those questions a year ago. Go Trey
billeeblue

Trey Gowdy is our hero, just as you are, sir.
albireo

I don’t understand the battle. Why all the lies and coverups? Why is the truth elusive? Is is just inconvenient that it conflicted with the Democratic platform for the election in 2013? If that’s true it’s truly pathetic that we have leadership that rests on untruths and concocted stories. It’s a house of cards.
buttons1994

Isn’t reason enough to impeach Obama.. Come on.. Nixon was an angel compared to the things Obama has done along with his administration. What the hell do you think he is doing firing Admiral’s/General’s and replacing them with what?? Impeach!

  DONT IMPEACH-HANG

Stay in their face congressman Gowdy. Those were great questions that should have already been answered and they will never be, if someone doesn’t force them to be? You are a great leader! Thank you for your services so far, and in the future.

Took my questions and doubts right out of my mouth. I thank him for confronting a lazy, biased and unprofessional press. Proud he is a fellow Carolinian.

I don’t think the Media Lapdogs “bought it”, I think they acquiesced to it. Vile and corrupt. Maybe the NSA has enough to make them cower?

  Either way, the outcome is the same. The American people are in the dark. Still.

Attorney General…no not good enough!….I want this man as my President! Trey/Cruz 2016 to take back our freedoms!
- Cheech
  
  No. Atty Gen. Because President LtCol. Allen West and VP Cruz will need a great one to help undo all of the atrocities and usurpation that have befell us during this War on the Constitution.
  - proudwhite
    
    NO WAY!! Look at what a BLACK has done to AMERICA>?..
  - John Ledo
    
    You can not compare West to Obama. One is a American hero a real patriot while the other is a corrupt Chicago thug who hates America and everything we stand for. Skin color has nothing to do with these two men well one man and one gay boy, of coarse obama being the gay boy
  - Daryl Watson
    
    now that is very racist
  - proudwhite
    
    GOOD. I am only as RACIST as the BLACK “man”. They rape, steal, assault, threaten, kill, maim, burn, disfigure you, while you PAY FOR “their” 5 kids from 5 “daddies”, Welfare, food stamps…Yea, I am RACIST, and you are a patsy.

    It has nothing to do with skin color….it has to do with the color of the soul and Obama’s is covered in mold it is so rotten!!!
  - proudwhite
    
    Really? And you would TRUST..Wait..MORE “Hope and CHANGE”..from ANOTHER Black? You mean like that BLACK X General POWELL, who is a POS ILLEGAL musSLIME obamma supporter? Hmmm..These BLACKS have you fooled..fool.

    You have just demonstrated your inability at intelligent thought and expression, therefore you are ineligible to impart your ignorance among cranial beings. Be gone imbecilic moron.

  - sha44ss
    
    I have LOTS of Black friends and I am very white, that I love AND that deserve & COULD be a 10 X Better President than this little PUNK from ‘Indonesia’, so dont dare talk about BLACK people that way! It is NOT about RACE …it is about his LACK of LOVE for America…he is a TRAITOR to all of us and especially to the Black people he alleges to represent. YOU are the RACIST and dont belong here. Probably a PLANT to get the Leftists riled up!
  - proudwhite
    
    YOU are an IDIOT. We ALL see what a BLACK “man” has/is doing to AMERICA…and YOU make EXCUSES for them. When can anyone remember RACE RELATIONS being this bad? When can ANYONE remember WHITES being ASSAULTED and MURDERED by YOUR “friends”..the BLACKS? When did ANY President..allow musSLIMES to take control of the White House..and CITIES? Yea, but I
    
    I am the RACIST.
  - 67falcon
    
    AGREED.
MotherBatherick

Rep Gowdy has been fighting for the truth all along. People can watch the hearings on Benghazi and Fast and Furious on C-Span’s video library. By now, more people should know about Rep Gowdy so if you don’t, then you had better get caught up. We can’t take back our Country if enough of us don’t do our homework and understand what we are really up against. “Know thy enemy” and you just might learn what it takes to be rid of them!

Gowdy and Allen West sure do understand, it’s time that everyone else to understood.
Email/write/call them to let them know!
E Elaine

The Ambassador has a history with trying to bring some issues to light. This was something I read, oh, maybe 2 to 3 years ago. However, I don’t recall the issues. I have attempted to locate the details, but it must have been buried by ‘you know who’. I believe it was retaliation for his political stand…..dare maybe someone will recall the issues and bring it to the attention of someone who can expose the motives of that horrible event. I truly believe those who have a vested interest in ‘shutting him up’ are VERY dangerous. Won’t be the first time.
Shirley Stacy

I would love to see Rep Trey Gowdy be our President of America and Dr Milton Wolf…Obama’s second cousin…be our Vice President… The fur would fly for twenty or so years as the current Democrat Administrations shun away, get away, lie, hide, under anything they can find, Rep Gowdy would be the most highly rated President in America in this generation. Dr. Milton Wolf would be the most highly rated Vice President in this generation. Lets all start being behind these two great Americans and help them restore AMERICA back . AMEN !!!!!
ibelieveinfreedom2

Trey Gowdy would make an excellent speaker.
joshuasweet

my only question is what was McCain doing there?
- MotherBatherick
  
  McShame was there probably just to make himself feel better. Either that, or he was paranoid Trey Gowdy might hurt somebody’s feelings. Mainly his (mcshames)
Trudy Hand

I really like Tray. He is like a Pit bull , when it comes to getting to the truth. The media should be charged with not telling and getting to the truth. They just better hope something like this never happens to a family member of theirs and they need answers.
OkieTwister

You are 100% right. And while you are at it, we also need answers about the leaks from the white house that got 20 patriots killed when their helicopter was shot down and the doctor who assisted in locating Bin ladin is still being held in prison. That is at least 24 deaths that I blame Obama for and no telling how many more. On another note, I have watched a number of shows on HLN lately that showed you as prosecuter. You were great. Keep up the good work.
- Virginia
  
  There are so many unanswered questions from this administration. They are all lying to cover for each other. No one will give names, no one will take responsibility and it just keeps getting deeper and deeper with these crimes against the American people. So many lies by so many of them. IRS, HHS, Fast & Furious, Benghazi, helicopter, doctor…etc. on and on. We need Trey Gowdy to ask the hard questions. There are not many who will do it and there are many of us Americans who are saying SOMEONE needs to do something FOR US AMERICANS. Get the word out to all…that we have hope with Trey Gowdy and Allen West. Also be aware that they will be a target of the thug machine from within our own country.
  The helicopters may be flying over the house tonight!!!!!
  I would like to say “Thank You” to all our veterans for your service and sacrifice. If it weren’t for you…I wouldn’t be able to express my concerns or opinions here.
OkieTwister

Actually Americans have more to fear from our own government than we do the terrorist. If we had more honest men like Tray Gowdy and Alan West we might have a chance at taking our country back.
- G
  
  no they will not, it’s already too late, the government has already too much power, and the good men who try to do something will been put away, as an car incidence or some like this, just watch out, but it cost a lost of courage to ask this question and may be some people are getting it, special the ones who gave all this power to this government that is worse than the mafia was or any terrorist
  - timmeister54
    
    We don’t know that it’s too late IMHO. As long as these treasonous players continue to respond as they do, it means they have fear that they haven’t clamped everything down yet. But that also means we need to act quick. Impeachment should now be the order of the day.
  - MotherBatherick
    
    obama and his regime WANT us to be scared and the media is helping him. It’s time we clean house and not just scare a few off ourselves but lock up the ones we can and run the others off so they will never want to show their faces again.

  Accountability is WAY over due!
lokiswife

Trey Gowdy is a pitbull in the form of a southern gentleman. He is always courteous to people, but if he doesn’t get the answer he wants, he just reframes the question and asks it again while watching his “victim” intently. I’d love to see him question Hillary on Benghazi - he wouldn’t take “I don’t remember” or “I don’t recall” as suitable answers. She’d be squirming like a worm on a hot rock….and I would be rolling on the floor laughing at her discomfort!
- Ginny
  
  Trey Gowdy is on the target with his questions. He wants answers of truth and it is amazing watching them squirm while avoiding a yes or no question. Be sure to watch all the videos of his questioning of the wrongdoers. Mr. Gowdy is engaged in his job and can identify when two and two don’t add up. His lines of questioning show that these people running this country have no idea of the responsibility of their job and won’t hold any one accountable.
javanaut

Thumbs up for Trey! You stayed on ’em like a piranha on a pork chop!
Respect for trying to help those families get some closure. You’re up against a wall of heartless, soulless propagandists and lawyers. You are fighting the good fight, keep it up!
Jim Hamilton

I think Trey is more than ready for higher office.anyone disagree???
- patricia Yonkman
  
  Agreed
Willie

I truly believe the Rep Bohner has over stayed his welcome as speaker of the house time for some new blood in that position.
- patricia Yonkman
  
  Trey Gowdy would be wonderful for that job
- MotherBatherick
  
  And our next Speaker of the House should have blood that runs Red, White & Blue, not Pinko.

Remember Benghazi!
It has now been 14 months since four Americans, Christopher Stevens, Glen
Doherty, Tyrone Woods, and Sean Smith were slaughtered in Benghazi and the
American people still do not know what the “most transparent”
president, Barack Hussein Obama, the supposed “Commander in Chief”
was doing during the attack. Obama was derelict in his duties and should be
impeached. Also, Killary Clinton did not provide adequate security for the
compound, even though Ambassador Stevens requested additional security. But to
Obama, Clinton and those who support them, “What difference does it make?”
Obama and Clinton NEED to be held accountable for their actions or inactions
regarding Benghazi.
gregzotta

Obama on Benghazi;
“the military forces needed to carry out the type of operation you describe
were not close enough to have made
a difference.” How did he or the military leaders know how long the battle
would last? I know some ObamaManiacs look to Barack Hussein Obama as the
Messiah, but can he really see the future? Did he have a crystal ball to look
into? No. Obama was MIA during the attack and thus was derelict in his duties
and needs to be held accountable, along with Killary.
gregzotta

Democrats are
lying, despicable, disgusting STATISTS! They are assisting in the cover-up of
Benghazi. The families of Christopher Stevens, Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, and
Sean Smith, as well as many Patriotic Americans do not believe that Benghazi is
a phony scandal. These four Americans were slaughtered in Benghazi because
Barack Hussein Obama, the supposed Commander in Chief was derelict in his
duties, ordering military help to “stand down” and disappeared during the
attack. Yet, he made it to the fundraiser in Las Vegas the next day, so I guess
he was preparing for his trip. Also, Killary Clinton did not provide adequate
security for the compound, even though Ambassador Stevens requested additional
security. But to Obama, Clinton and those who support them, “What difference
does it make?” Obama and Clinton have blood on their hands and they NEED to be
held accountable for their actions or in-actions regarding Benghazi.
gregzotta

The Accountability
Review Board did not even interview Killary Clinton. Killary was responsible
for security and was derelict in her duties. She should be held accountable, as
well as the supposed Commander in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama who was MIA the
night of the attack on Benghazi.
- DanMR
  
  They did not interview her for one obvious answer; She will be the top contender for the Dems in the next Presidential election.

patricia Yonkman

Thank Goodness for Trey Gowdy. He is the only questioning Killary, Oboma and THOSE lap dog reporters. Allen West, Trey Gowdy, Ben Carson, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, put your minds together and get rid of this administration!!! Impeach and imprison should be on their agenda. Were all fed up!
4dees

Trey Gowdy is one of my very favorite legislators, and I love that he doesn’t pull any punches and always asks the hard questions. He appears to be a very principled man, and it’s just a shame that he isn’t our US AG right now instead of the clunker Eric Holder.
- KentPerry
  
  I don’t think Gowdy would accept the position even if it were offered him under the current President

Vernez Gonzalez

I love this guy! He stands up for the American People! All the questions you have asked are only know by Obama and Hillary. They know and that is why we still have no answers. It is a complete cover-up and as long as you continue to press these matters, THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT!
Lori

My heart is surging with another hope for our America-I pray the Lord will bless and keep Mr. Gowdy safe in his quest for cleaning our house. Let’s stand with him and the other heros doing what needs doing!!!
abbypatch

This man is one heck of a representative in the true sense of the word. He cares about this country and the people. I hope he goes far. He’s not the only one on these committees who ask tough questions, but he’s the one that gets all the attention.

This is the type of government representatives we USED to have. I’ve seen
him ask tough questions on various hearings when all the liberal Democrats on
these committees give political hate speeches against the “other side of
the aisle” as they so often state. It’s a waste of time to have Democrats
on these committees if all they do is make speeches and don’t ask
questions…or if they do, their questions are so weak, wishy-washy and one-sided
that they’re irrelevant. Every hearing is full of these speeches
and this is why things don’t get done. The Dems vote totally along party lines
at these hearings and it’s a waste time. They think the Republicans are just “out
to get them.” Tell me that’s not being paranoid.
Concerned in West Virginia

It is UNBELIEVABLE to me that congress is not DEMANDING the TRUTH on Benghazi! I want to know, and guess what IT DOES MATTER WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!!!
- Virginia
  
  The informed people want to know. I agree. Boehner is not demanding. Hillary is not held responsible. She said “What difference does it make, at this point”. What? Who, if not her is responsible? Look at all the videos of Trey Gowdy. He is right on.
- KentPerry
  
  It’s like everything else they have swept under the rug for obama. I swear the whole bunch of them with the exception of Rand Paul Ted Cruz and Gowdy, the rest of em need to be PUT IN JAIL
Mad Mike

Trey Gowdy is a “fearless voice for freedom and our constitution”! He is indeed a rare breed in Washington D.C.. He puts the law, justice, and the peoples rights ahead of politics. Something few other politicians would never “dream” of doing. Nothing causes more fear among corrupt government officials and politicians than a smart, tireless, and honest representative of the people who also has the legal authority, ability and desire to “get to the truth” of any matter at hand. Trey Gowdy does! He is like a “beam of light penetraiting the endless public lies of this D.C. cesspool of radical politicians and the radical media! Go get um’ Trey, the overwhelming majority of Americans are behind you!

Thank you Allan.

Dear Mr. Allen West: As a 22-year veteran myself, I appreciate your support of my fellow veterans. I am following your comments and whenever you speak, you seem to have a level head and common sense. I am also seeing time and again people are asking you to Run for President for 2016. You have my vote Mr. Allen. And Mr. Trey Gowdy needs to be your running mate, or at a minimum, Attorney General. We need to take back America with a VETERAN!!! We need someone who will beat Hillary and McAuliffe (newly stolen position of VA Govenor, notice I didn’t say elected).
- jorgaone
  
  ONLY a military man-who can actively take orders, give orders, and act on orders-should be in the WH. Are there any Generals who are female that BO hasn’t fired yet?? GOOD Prez or VP material too…

  Boy THAT’S for sure, I would LOVE to see more veterans running for President.

We need to hold all of the Obama media accountable! It is so unconscionable that they are more interested in protecting Obama and his administration than they are in getting at the truth. Hillary and Obama are responsible in a major way!

My blood boils with rage just listening to the abuse of power of all the hypocrites going around and around in their minds looking for excuses for their acts! There was not a “law” cited that permitted to close the monuments to Veterans. Only the excess of their conceit and the amount of “their power” inside their heads and their belief that just because they hold a government job they can create their own laws and they are above everybody.

I can count on one hand the people I trust in Washington DC. Rep Trey Gowdy is one.

Abuse of Power???? Does anyone try to explain the thousands of deaths of our soldiers after “Mission Accomplished”. The dramatic flair our then President used (flight suit, aircraft carrier, $$$) to gloat over what was really the beginning of a very long and deadly unending war. Does anyone remember collecting money so our soldiers could have the equipment they needed? Washington “shut down”. I guess that means that things will shut down due to lack of staff. I think the more important issue is equality for all…including the right to have food, shelter and healthcare.

  “Does anyone try to explain the thousands of deaths of our soldiers after “Mission Accomplished”
  
  areupeoplewithoutcommonsense,
  
  That would be like asking the democrats to investigate and give an honest explanation about Benghazi. Make your case to the democrats and ask them to have congress investigate it.
  
  And if the democratic party had a “Trey Gowdy’ maybe they would. Either way that would not change the fact that republicans do have a Trey Gowdy and he will get to the bottom of this no matter how many of you liberals try and change the subject.

    If you ever served in the military and knew what the significance of the “Mission Accomplished” banner meant you might be able to raise your IQ just a bit above room temperature. The banner is displayed on a U.S. Navy vessel following the completion of a successful individual mission to which it was assigned. It has no reference to any one member of that team nor its CIC.
  - Ruben A Beltran
    
    Krypto, areupeoplewithoutcommonsense used ‘mission accomplished’ statement to compare it to Obama’s failing.
    Asking why we don’t spend time investigating that claim.
    
    My point was that if he wanted it investigated he should ask the democrats to do it.
    
    Either way that does not change the fact that Trey Gowdy will investigate this administration.
    
    Maybe if your IQ was on the scale at all you would have been able to see my point instead of explaining what the significance of the term ‘mission accomplish’ means. Totally irrelevant to the point I was getting across.
- Arizona_Don
  
  Abuse of power? I do not see it as an abuse of power, I see it as a misjudgement and a lie. Obviously he had not accomplished the mission since he gave a speech and said he would not nation build and then started nation building. How did you reach the abuse of power theory? I’m not arguing I would just like you to explain it a little better.
  
  However, if that is or was an abuse of power do you see any abuses of power in the obama administration, or lies? Perhaps you could explain that as well.

  Again with the “let’s villify G. W. Bush!” without any thought other than going along with the crowd! Do you people ever check out the facts on your own? Flight suit is not dramatic flair for the Commander in Chief. That carrier was commissioned for the Iraq War and having officially accomplished its mission, the “Mission Accomplished” was a necessary and appropriate display for this event. Any denial of equipment for the soldiers during that time was the act of the Democrats in Congress who proudly declared that it was their responsibility to be the party of opposition as they voted down any supplies for our soldiers. Please don’t feign patriotism now when you liberals have a known history of anti-U.S. and anti-Military sentiment. And quit trying to rewrite history. You haven’t “won” yet! ( …this response is by a prior Navy personnel.)

  Pardon me, but, exactly, where is it written that we have a “right to food, shelter and healthcare”? We are given the right to persue happiness…that means: work!
- KentPerry
  
  YOU THINK I SHOULD PAY FOR YOUR FOOD, HOUSING AND HEALTHCARE!!! WHAT YOU CAN’T ACQUIRE THOSE THINGS FOR YOUR SELF??? BECAUSE BUSH SCREWED UP THE COUNTRY MEANS WE HAVE TO LET OBAMA SCREW IT UP TOO?? USING THE SAME BUSH DOCTRINE YOU SAY WAS WRONG SAVE FOR WHEN THERE IS A LETTER “D” NEXT TO THE GUYS NAME?? DUDE GO SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE DAMN HEAD !

That was awesome, Trey Gowdy is someone who is actually doing his job in Washington. It is a shame that so many people are afraid of this administration and turn a blind eye to the way they are transforming this nation. It is a shame that as a people we are not outraged by the Benghazi scandal.
- Arizona_Don
  
  There are actually several. Some are very obvious some are not so obvious. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Trey Gowdy are just a few of the most obvious. David Schweikert is an example of one not so obvious here in Arizona. As soon as he started to make an obvious point and a name for himself he was fired from a committee by Boehner. But, there may be dozens more. Keep in mind however, those are also the old line Republicans (those who are progressive within the party) who want to get rid of the Gowdy’s, Paul’s, Cruz’s and Schweikert’s along with Issa’s and all the rest of them. I suggest to all those who support John McCain and his bunch, no moderate Republican will ever again be elected president. I say that as a conservative, very conservative. Moderate Republicans and liberal progressive (communistic) Democrats are now one and the same. Bush expanded government not as much as obama but he did and ran up to debt as well.
  
  However, I intend to stand with those who I consider the “real conservatives like Gowdy, Paul and Cruz if that means we lose again I guess we will just have to go to war. I refuse to conform to the ways of John McCain and Lindsey Graham’s type. Personally I again would rather be dead then progressive. It may not rhyme like red did in the 50’s but it works.
  
  I’m getting damn tired of holding my nose when voting for a Republican because he is the least of two evils. Personally I think McCain gave the election away. He proved to have no balls at all, and Romney was little better.
  - KentPerry
    
    Yep BOTH of them threw the election and it was pretty damn obvious too.

I am waiting for Boehner’s resignation. People of OHIO what the hell are you doing re-electing this golfing buddy of O?
Gregory D Allen

I would LOVE to see this guy in Boehner’s position. These guys are to few and far between.

this is a tea bagger puppet
- timmeister54
  
  …..a “tea bagger puppet”?! Care to back up those words with a little truth, a.k.a. facts, not opinions?! If not, how about an apology for your rudeness towards a good and decent group of people called the Tea Party?! …or do you not have the decency or class to?!
  - KentPerry
    
    I notice this label thrown around a lot by the left. That is what they do is label people. Whether its racist, hater, bigot or tea bagger, they think it has some magic effect where once they say it, they’ve won the debate. It’s really that simple. I find it very curious any democrat would have the unmitigated audacity to lecture ANYONE, on such issues as racism when they voted unanimously against the civil rights act. I find it very ironic they would call anyone a racist when slavery was a platform of their party. To suggest Republicans would take us back to the days of Jim Crow when it was the democrats that wrote the Jim Crow laws.
    
    I have even seen them calling us the KKK when it was the democrats that created the KKK. You know it must be true what they say about ignorance being bliss because if the democrats had any idea how stupid they sound, how ignorant of the facts of their own history they are, they would be embarrassed by it.
- Sherill Weber
  
  Do you even know the history of the “Tea Party”? We need more people like them today because they care about our country and it’s people. People that talk against them are only afraid of the truth. It’s ok to put an idiot like Obama in office who is destroying our Health System, responded on Benghazi, the IRS targeting the Tea Party, Obamacare Website crashing and the spying that went on our allies and he comments “I didn’t know that”. Well who the hell is running our country is he didn’t know that? Guess they just didn’t want to interrupt him while he was on the golf course. As for me,,,I’m glad we have people like the Tea Party out there fighting for us and our freedom like they did in the past.

Rep Gowdy is a great Prosecutor…and an even greater member of Congress…because ‘he’ works for America and it’s future…not a party or a man!

BRAVO TO REP GOWDY…FOR GETTING IT RIGHT IN THE FIGHT TO SAVE AMERICA!
