Benghazi committee just latest aspect of GOP witch hunt

Speaking of “lies and obfuscation” (the editor’s words in his May 4 “two cents” column), when the editor states that “it’s about time,” I can’t help but wonder about time for what.

The new committee (about Benghazi) that he is so pleased with will be only the ninth committee to investigate the matter in the last two years!

We shouldn’t be surprised that the Republicans (and Fox News) would dust this witch hunt off once again now that March has come and gone and, guess what — the world hasn’t come to an end. The much hated “Obamacare” is disproving nearly all of the lies and fear tactics they have been spouting for the past four years, so the party, having nothing to offer to the U.S. citizens, continue to look and act like pathetic fools.

One thing this “new” committee might do would be to investigate the numerous embassy attacks that occurred under the Bush presidency, and the lives that were lost — or just maybe they might come up with a solution or two to prevent these attacks.

Just wishful thinking that the “party of no” might do something constructive for the citizens. They certainly have forgotten who “sent them to the dance”!
