What other definition could there be of “figure out what happened?”

She meant that you’ll figure out what happened in Benghazi once the State Department gets good and ready to tell you what happened there. You’ll find out what’s in it, after it has passed muster under HRC’s pen.

Just what the Hell has happened to the Republican party?

The Republican party failed to carry through the strategic objectives of Civil War I. So eventually, Civil War II will result, and the Republican party has been split for a rather long time now.

T: Goldwater was somewhat of an anomaly in the Republican Party even in 1964, when he was nominated. The RINO/Conservative divided existed then, very similar to today. See this.

T “Just what the Hell has happened to the Republican party?”

In spite of his clear, muscular vision of freedom and small government, Barry was defeated in a landslide. Except for Reagan, no Republican has been willing/able to delineate such a muscular, no-nonsense vision of the way forward. Any Republican who tries it is demonized as a war monger, cowboy, enemy of the people, etc. Only charisma, such as Reagan had, can overcome those strawman attacks. It is a war of ideologies with the progs possessing the greater firepower as represented by the MSM. Most Republicans fear that weapon.

As an interesting sidebar to this discussion, see the link for Barry Goldwater’s acceptance speech from 1964 (50th anniversary today). It is truly amazing and prompts the question: “Just what the Hell has happened to the Republican party?”

Also Ann Althouse has a short list of her choices for Goldwater’s 10 best takeaway lines.

Tammy:

I’m reading her words for their meaning, not what apologists might rationalize that they mean.

And of course, hearings are only absurd if they’re investigating Democrats. When investigating Republicans they’re extremely meaningful and important.

Exactly, Tammy, which is why beating her in the face with her words is so much of just desserts.

Hillary wasn’t asking a question, please, she was making a statement on the absurdity of hearings. Please read reality for what it is rather than what you wish it to be.

T: “A prospective leader of the free world? No, just the wife of Monica Lewinsky’s ex-boyfriend.”

So true! Her only real claim to fame. Grading of her job as Senator and SOS = D-. And I’m being very generous.

When Ms. Hillary! unloaded that stupid (but effective, given the audience) remark, my own reaction was to flash back to that picture of Hillary! beaming as she waved a copy of a newspaper whose page 1 headline blared “BUSH KNEW”.

Sure made a difference long after that fact, didn’t it?

*Lord*, I detest her and her minions . . .
