Rand Paul Grills Sec. of State Clinton on Benghazi: I Would Have Relieved You Of Your Post

Every now and then, Rand redeems himself with me. This is one of those times.
It is amazing how she can go on about being there to answer questions but talks continuously without saying anything. Rand proved she is completely incompetent but I suspect as usual the media is going to give her a pass and make her look like a victim.
Rand is getting good reviews from both the pundit class and your average conservatives on twitter. The Hillary backers really haven't said anything much more than "you're evil," "how dare you?" and "If I we're president"....LOL
Bravo, Rand.
That's what politicians do. That's part of playing the game....and why I despise the game.Quote:

"Rand Paul has no clue at what happened at the embassy, he should be switched to the agriculture committee where he can dish dirt. He's a disgrace"
Now a "Republican" idiot is calling Rand and McCain fools and saying Clinton has 'donated her life to America"
Wow, every caller in to CSPAN is trashing Rand. On all three lines (dem, rep, and ind.)!!!
I do not know whom angers me more, the media, the politicians or the ignorance of my fellow Americans that fall for it.Quote:

Rand Paul has apparently gotten some pretty good reviews from Fox.
Edit: bad source lol.
Jumping onto someone in a hearing does not impress me. I've seen it too often and then nothing is done to change things or prosecute. Remember the hearings with Goldman Sachs and how some got jumped on to, one GS guy even mentioned how pissed he was that the emails exposed their fraud. What became of any of that? It's theatre.Quote:

Hillary: "I believe in transparency.. I believe in taking responsibility." yeah - at "Assistant Secretary" and below!
:mad::rolleyes:
So..how many at "Assistant Secretary" level and below has she fired over this incident?Quote:

How do you attract people to your way of thinking without them believing that what Rand Paul is doing isn't just attacking.Quote:

The Bernanke is especially gifted in that regard. Part of the reason he is the Chairman I'm sure.Quote:

lol...all those negative comments from callers is funny. Don't 'they' realize this was an ACCOUNTABILITY Hearing on the Benghazi fiasco?...Rand just telling it like it is. Good job Rand.
She got really pissed at Sen. Ron Johnson (who voted for Rand's resolution opposing military intervention in Libya, co-wrote a letter with Rand to tell Obama to get out of Libya immediately and voted for Rand's legislation to end foreign aid to Libya, Pakistan and Egypt). She pretty much said she didn't care what the reasons were for the attack, and therefore will do nothing to prevent them in the future.

Probably. Never underestimate the DEA gun smuggling prowress though.Quote:

Agreed, the general consensus as well is that Rubio was pretty poor.Quote:

Curious: What is Rand Paul's foreign policy background? Did he serve in the military? Did he study, live, do business or charity overseas?
