Make Sure You Have Valid Photo ID!

The lying and spinning coming out of the administration over Benghazi is as bad as Watergate.

Utter and complete nonsense. Have you no knowledge of history? Watergate was a criminal conspiracy by the President for which he avoided impeachment only by resigning. There is nothing of the sort over Benghazi.

But I was not referring to the criminal part of Watergate, as should have been clear from my statement about the 'lying and spinning' but sometimes people don't always parse things correctly or I may not have been clear enough.

But, to rephrase, I was comparing the repeated attempts by the Nixon administration and his staff and cabinet to hide and obscure the truth about his criminal actions, just as the Obama administration and his staff and cabinet are trying to hide and obscure the truth about how they abandoned American personnel to die at the hands of terrorists when the means and ability to support them was at hand.

Panetta is, at best, making excuses after the fact to cover for his boss. At worst, he is incompetent as well.

I suspect that Clinton's hands were tied by her boss.

And, nothing criminal has come out yet.

When a set of State Department emails were released Wednesday, one reporting that a local Islamist militia had claimed responsibility for the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the US ambassador to Libya, conservatives thought they had the smoking gun that the Obama administration had lied about what had occurred.

There's only one problem—well, actually, there are many, but one big one: The email appears to have been incorrect.

TOP TEN LAME OCTOBER SURPRISES

10. George H.W. Bush admitting he’s the father of George W. Bush.
9. Jimmy Carter’s confession that he’s cheated at Scrabble “in his heart.”
8. John McCain accused of driving under the influence of soup.
7. George McGovern’s allegation that Richard Nixon tapes songs off the radio.
6. Rumors suggesting Abraham Lincoln’s hat concealed a “stovepipe head.”
5. Democrats’ claim Eisenhower wanted slogan “I lick Ike.”
4. Walter Mondale tearfully acknowledging his hazelnut allergy.
3. Suggestion that Barack Obama has surgically enhanced ears.
2. Mitt Romney’s investment in companies that order Chinese take-out.
1. Donald Trump offering $5 million to unearth anyone who still takes him seriously.

Interesting. If true, it doesn't change my feelings at all. My issue is not if it was or was not a terrorist attack.

My issue is with leaving our people to die.

Usually, I just respond to other people's threads, but there's something important that needs addressed.

If you live in Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Lousiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Dakota or Tennessee and want to vote this year, make sure you have current valid photo ID, as it is now required in these states. Make sure your friends and family have ID as well.

This is especially critical if you live in one of these states that could go either way in this year's election. (Let's face it, we already know how Georgia, Kansas and Tennessee will be voting)

Also, if you live in Florida, make sure you are still registered to vote. They've been purging people from the rolls for political reasons.

Pass it along.

(Yes, this should probably go in the politics forum, but who actually goes there?)

Whoever your choice, make sure your vote isn't suppressed.

Get your papers, help your family, friends and neighbors get theirs and then vote.

When you get all your information from a guy who sells aluminum siding on the side, you're skating on thin ice.
