Their back pedaling makes ME tired. I don´t think there is a spine in the bunch.

They really need to grill her on why she was so active on turning BinLaden down during Clinton.You could arguably blame 3000 deaths and two big wars on that decision.

Consider the source. This is an obvious ploy from the ´0bama HAS won´ gang. It could work again.

you can always count on the republicans to blink and cave. Even that weasle Reid is tougher than they are. My goodness. Get a fricking backbone please.

SOOOO glad I left this dying political party.

What´s the deal? Did Obama find something on them, too? "Ease opposition"?

So, if our choice is lying, foul-mouthed Susan Rice or lying, turncoat John Kerry, I´m not sure I see an advantage or disadvantage to either. I´m assuming Graham and McCain feel the same way.

As you can see....the problem is the likes of John McCain.

When the liberal Democrats pull the race card trigger, the wimpy Republicans just about always back down. It´s pretty simple, and is allowing a small socialist minority of less then 15% to generally run the country into the ground.

AP´s Flaherty spinning like mad with "Benghazi public relations disaster". An unauhorized war in Libya, an unprotected consulate denied security, an ambassador and 3 other Americans murdered by terrorist, a White House refusing help and a president lying about it all. That´s a national security disaster, not a PR fiasco.

But the AP just yawns.

Another day, another retreat, as Madame Secretary´s stash of nine-hundred Republican FBI Files continue to pay enormous dividends for The Dark Siders.

I no longer mention that I am a registered Republican. The whole party seems inept and indifferent.

What did we expect from these soft cupcakes ?

Does it make any difference? Whoever Obama´s candidate for SoS, they will be just another Democrat hack and incompetent yes man.

Christmas is coming, so you know McCain and Lindsey will be questioning Susan Rice in matching reindeer sweaters. Lindsey´s troubling and "passionately worded" first question: "Outside of the new middle east vermin we created in the ´Arab Spring´ knowing, in you, we are sending an even more offensive, butch, empty, exceptionally good liar than was the last one, would you say that the race card is your most valuable consideration for this office?" -- will be tempered to a more republican sounding, "Sme say ´Character is only a litmus test to those who believe a country should have character´. I will only dd, ´Does this sweater make me look fat"

".. ´o´ ...´a´ ... ´?´.

Guess it´s true: Old White Men are a problem.

Gabula

Allow me to offer this, one more time.
Lisa Jarrett is the person running the president and his presidency. She is closest to him and to Michelle, and has advanced their careers, behind the scenes.
So if Susan Rice became Secretary of State, that might diminish Jarrett´s power and influence in the White House.
So Jarrett sent out the dimbulb Rice to go on all those sunday news shows to tell a big lie, over and over again. And Jarrett would know that the lie would collapse around Rice´s tiny head, after the election, which would make Rice unacceptable as Secretary of State.
But now it may be backfiring on Jarrett. Rice will be nominated by President Zero, and will be confirmed.
Is my hypothesis correct?

Possibly a ploy to have her nominated, get her under oath and grill her about her Benghazi lies?

One can only hope.

It seems the GOP has tired of being gang-beaten by the Left and their mainstream press for being ´the party of No´, and are feeling nostalgic for the days when they simply complained as they bent over to the Dems.

Will this reenergize the Tea Party movement and give Conservative voters a voice in Washington? Or does this spell the death throes of everything to the Right of RINO on the political spectrum?

Much of the blame should fall directly on AssPress and the rest of the Alinskian Propaganda machine popularly known as the mainstream media (but more accurately as the enemedia for their anti-American agenda).

#18 - Obama´s brain is called Valerie Jarrett, not Lisa. Valerie dominates the "left" side, and actually, only side of Obama´s small brain. The Lisa you mentioned is Lisa Jackson, EPA Marxist, who is known as Obama´s rectum for the waste matter she imposes on US business and citizens.

I think this will work out in the GOP´s favor.

First - criticize Rice and have B.O. come out and loudly defend her. Make a big deal out of it ... all over the media. Totally behind Rice.

Second - GOP announces easing of criticism, giving B.O. green light to appoint her as Sec. of State. At this point B.O. would look rather foolish if he didn´t appoint her.

Third - confirmation hearings - Rice has to testify under oath ... GOP can ask all kinds of questions that they wouldn´t have the opportunity otherwise.

The only advantage to Kerry is it gets him out of the Senate and gives Scott Brown another shot at a DemMass seat.

It`s business as usual in DC. The GOP will cave on taxes, get nothing in return and set the table for Pelosi to possibly become Speaker again in 2015.

Is anyone really surprised Romney lost?

And my Party wonders why we don´t always trust it? If Rice BELIEVED the supposed intel on Benghazi re: that YouTube video she does not really know her field: Africa, which is her strong point. And if she hit the 5 Sunday talk shows just to promote the Obama view, she is nothing more than a puppet, willing to go along to get along. Neither is a recommendation of worth. But then again, MY Republican party voted Eric Holder in without a problem.

The GOP should change it´s name to the Quisling Party, and just be done with it.

That first sentence is astonishing.

What´s with these guys? Is every single one of them under the greasy thumb of white house blackmail?

I´m beginning to wonder if the gop is little more than a sorry old clot of undercover adulterers, homosexuals, tax-cheats, boozers and God knows what else -- all of whom are terrified of being outed if they don´t tow stinky´s line on the things that really matter to him.

I´m with Posters #5, #6 and #11.

We should just resign to the fact that this regime gets EVERYTHING it wants... Heaven help us all.

The GOP no longer represents me. Please, Sarah et al: get going on a new party.

Big mistake. They should take a page from the Dem´s playbook - find out everything about her, bring it all out in the hearings, and ruin her.

thanks, 21. I tend to mix up the names on those black marxist women in his administration.
That aside, I believe my hypothesis is correct.

They´ll cave, they always do.

I sincerely hope this is a republican trick to make Obama think he can nominate this "lazy" and ´incompetent´ woman. If I ran the RNC, I´d have 100 investigators out digging up every square inch of dirt I could find on her to unload during the Senate hearings. Nothing held back. Just unload and destroy her.

The Republicans are gentlemen who give in to everything. They allow themselves to be accused of everything and never fight back. They give in to the most insidious of opposition demands. The don´t really want to lead this country. They just want to play golf and have a nice cushy job. Gingrich was the only one what was leading them out of the bog. And even Gingrich has that tendency to give up. They got rid of him and marginalized him. We need a new party.
