DISASTER: New Economic Data Shows U.S. Economy May Have Contracted In First Quarter…


You see why voter ID is so important? Who wants to vote for results like this. Voters have to manufactured. And pictures do not fit in with that plan.

Quote:
The latest evidence came Tuesday, when the Commerce Department released reports on retail sales and business inventories. Retail sales in February and March were revised up, but business inventories grew less in March than the agency had assumed in its GDP calculations.

Incorporating the new data, J.P. Morgan on Tuesday estimated GDP contracted at a 0.8% rate in the first quarter. Macroeconomic Advisers put the contraction at 0.7%. Barclays Capital predicted a 0.6% decline. Pierpont Securities estimated output fell at a 0.4% rate. Action Economics estimated a 0.2% decline.

You've really gone through the looking glass haven't you? Black is white and up is down.

Fact, voter fraud is not a problem in the US.
Fact, Republicans only started demanding photo ID after they lost to Obama.

Now you can spin those facts any way you want, (and you have,) but any reasonable neutral party would conclude that the two facts are connected.

Not only that, the money could be better spent fixing America's crumbling infrastructure.

New Benghazi Investigation Spooks GOP Leaders
It’s not just the Democrats who are opposed to a new select committee looking into the Benghazi attacks. Many top Republicans are uneasy, too.

Last Wednesday, as the House was preparing for its new investigation into the Benghazi attacks, House intelligence committee chairman Mike Rogers gathered Republican members of his committee for a meeting. While the main purpose of the meeting was to discuss surveillance reforms the committee was about to pass, Rogers also warned his colleagues about the upcoming select committee to investigate Benghazi.

“He was saying this could be a rabbit hole,” one House member told The Daily Beast. “He was warning us that we should not let this investigation get into conspiracy theories.”

Contrary to the caricature of Republicans, as singularly obsessed for political reasons with Benghazi, the reality is quite different. There is deep unease within the Republican leadership that the select committee, which has yet to announce a schedule of hearings, could backfire, and badly. Investigate and find nothing new, and the committee looks like a bunch of tin-hatted obsessives. Investigate and uncover previously-hidden secrets, and it makes all of the other Republican led panels that dug into Benghazi seem like Keystone Kops.

Three Republican sources tell The Daily Beast that the chairmen of the House Intelligence, Armed Services, and Government Reform committees—Reps. Rogers, Buck McKeon, and Darrell Issa, respectively—all opposed the formation of a select committee on Benghazi. All three men have led their own investigations into the matter.

House Speaker John Boehner himself resisted calls to form the committee for nearly a year and a half. Rep. Frank Wolf, a Republican from Virginia, proposed a special select committee on Benghazi first in November 2012. Since then he worked to get a majority of Republicans to sign onto his plan.

But it was not until Judicial Watch in April uncovered a set of White House emails on Benghazi—emails that were not shared with Congress—that Boehner agreed to Wolf’s idea.

Boehner’s calculation was, in part, political, according to one House Republican aide. The Speaker was looking to mollify the Tea Party faction of his caucus who were upset with him about a range of issues, including the federal budget and immigration reform.

“There is a whole combination of factors here,” this aide said. “You have the email. But remember Boehner has also gotten a lot of resistance from House Republicans on immigration. He wanted to turn the page on this.” This aide said that Boehner’s view was that, “OK, I am giving you guys this committee, now it’s on you to make this work.”

“He was saying this could be a rabbit hole. He was warning us that we should not let this investigation get into conspiracy theories.”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, for her part, has said she is considering a Democratic boycott of the committee, but has yet to decide.

Since the investigations into Benghazi began in earnest in 2012, the GOP has been divided on what these probes would ultimately uncover. While some claim there was a massive White House operation to cover up the attacks, Rogers and McKeon see a more nuanced story. Rogers has been highly critical of the administration’s failure to call the assault a terrorist attack; but he has not accused the administration of in any way abandoning the CIA officers protecting the agency’s base that evening. McKeon’s oversight work has focused on the failure of the administration to have key military assets in place for the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks when there was ample reason to believe al Qaeda would seek out soft targets to strike on that day.

When Rogers’s committee finally heard in a closed session last year from the CIA contractors who responded on the evening of the attacks, Rogers downplayed their testimony in interviews. On Fox News he said he did not believe the CIA was stonewalling his committee, as others had alleged.

Other lawmakers, however, such as Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the Utah Republican who first contacted key State Department whistleblower Greg Hicks, say the Benghazi story is more about how the White House failed to deploy all of its assets on the evening of the attack to save Americans.

Chaffetz, who serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform but was not chosen for the select committee, came close to uncovering evidence for his view this month when retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Lovell testified that the military did not even try to save personnel on the night of the Benghazi attacks, or in his words, “run to the sound of the guns.”

After Lovell’s testimony, McKeon issued a statement defending his own investigation’s conclusion that no assets were in place to conduct such an operation. “Lovell did not serve in a capacity that gave him reliable insight into operational options available to commanders during the attack, nor did he offer specific courses of action not taken,” he said at the time.

This tension between committees has often played out inside the Republican conference, behind closed doors. And the new, select committee may only make things worse.

“Look at this from their perspective,” one House Republican told The Daily Beast. “This [select] committee in many ways will be checking their work. No one likes that.” Rep. Tim Huelskamp, a Republican from Kansas, told Slate’s Dave Weigel last week: “Mike Rogers fought against this for a year and a half. They used to stand up in conference and say, ‘Quit worrying about it, we’ve got it all taken care of.’”

Boehner selected Rep. Trey Gowdy, a former career prosecutor, to lead the Benghazi committee. To date, Gowdy has played his cards close to the vest as to what the committee will actually investigate. Last week, at a press conference, Rep. Jim Jordan, who is also serving on the new select committee on Benghazi, said the panel will focus on the “before,” “during” and “after” of the attack. He later explained that this meant probes into why the State Department denied requests for security to the Benghazi diplomatic post and why the early talking points on Benghazi downplayed the possibility that it was a terrorist attack. But Jordan also said the committee would investigate, to borrow Lovell’s phrase, why U.S. forces weren’t “running to the sound of the guns.”

If the Benghazi committee uncovers new evidence that the Obama administration failed to do all it could to save Americans on the evening of the attack, it would be a vindication for their party and a scandal for the White House. But it may also end up revealing prior investigations from Congressional Republicans to be hollow.

If this committee, however, does not find that smoking gun, then it will also prove the low-key warnings of lawmakers like Rogers and McKeon to have been correct all along. No wonder top Republicans were so reluctant to have it move forward.

@bobsal u1553115,
I don't think they can change lanes now, because they must finish what they start. Most people already know this is a witch hunt for political reasons only, and to raise money. They're stuck in their own quagmire, and will dig deeper until more Americans realize they are the worthless bunch that they are.

Look at their ratings even after being tagged the least productive congress in history. That has not bothered them one iota. They talk about everything except what the American people want. This has been ongoing for quite a few years, and it has not made any difference to them. They love to dig.

More mountains out of mole hills for the GOP; that's their SOP.

Why they're not a laughing stock now and still get votes is the mystery of our times.

@cicerone imposter,
Oh, I almost forgot. Stevens refused increased security in Benghazi a couple of times. It seems the GOP is chasing the wrong cat, but that's not new news.

They're chasing an email.

@izzythepush,
You know not what you speak of. Voter ID has been an issue before Obama was elected into office. It only became an issue when the Dems wanted to yell racism. The media followed suit and the rest is history. Get your facts straight. Voter ID has been at debate since at least the early 2000's.

The statistics of homosexual promiscuity don’t lie. In fact, they actually reveal the source of the problems that are being highlighted by the CDC report. When “gay” men play with fire — as is typically the case — they do inevitably get burned.

83% of the homosexual men surveyed estimated they had had sex with 50 or more partners in their lifetime.
43% estimated they had sex with 500 or more partners.
28% with 1,000 or more partners.
79% of homosexual men say over half of their sex partners are strangers.


I figured I would change the subject. After all in there is nothing to Benghazi why are you people so worried, and have to keep cursing Republicans?

Let's tackle this huge problem plaguing our gay friends.http://www.acidpulse.us/images/smilies/rofl1.gif

Politico's Dylan Byers Agrees 95% of Media is Democrat and Liberal
"The real diversity problem in media, Dylan Byers, is not race or gender or ethnicity. It’s the fact that 95% of media is Democrat and liberal. And you don’t argue with that, do you?"


The Conservative message hasn't got much of a chance. And the sheer bias in the media is, or should be, a hint that you idiots are being spoon-fed garbage. You are being controlled by a very small group of people.

And despite the bias Obama has unleashed the IRS to ice the cake. Conservatives must have one powerful message.

@coldjoint,
I am a homosexual and I am 51 years old and do not have any STDs.

STFU CJ...

BUT, how is that herpes outbreak doing CJ?

You know they sell creams for that...

Is that a cold joint or a cold sore?

And homosexual promiscuity is the reason why the GOP has fought gay marriage...

Where would the vastly closeted GOP cruse for male sluts then if they are all married?

Have a doctor look at that cold sore CJ...
