    Don't care. I've never voted for Democrats. I've always voted against Republicans. That party is made of pure malice towards the LGBT community, and I will not vote for them, nor will I stand someone else voting for them.

    I love it when I get to use my fact-checking skills.

    Chinagate: Both the Department of Justice and Louis Freeh (Also known as the guy who led the investigation into the Penn State sexual abuse case) investigated this from 1997-1998, and no wrongdoing was ever found. But you never hear that from the right-wing media.

    Travelgate: After 7 years of Newt Gingrich witch-hunt led investigations, the independent counsel found no evidence of wrongdoing either in the hiring or firing of the Travel Office employees. Not to mention, as First Lady, Hillary Clinton had no real authority in her husband's administration. But you never hear that from the right-wing media.

    Whitewater: When the Clintons were young lawyers in Arkansas, they fell victim to a real estate scam. What happened was that they got duped into investing in a bogus real estate agency that was doing the same thing to other people: telling them they were investing in an up-and-coming vacation rental home company with developing properties all over the country, taking their money, and then running.

    Vince Foster: Vince Foster was an aide to the Clintons, and somehow got caught up in Newt Gingrich's witch hunt over Travelgate, which was way overblown to begin with. When the right-wing media wouldn't stop vilifying him over something he had nothing to do with, combined with clinical depression, he shot himself.

    Benghazi: Oh the biggest overblown non-scandal of my lifetime. Nine separate Republican-led Congressional investigations have yielded the same result: No conspiracy or cover-up. But since facts don't matter to Republicans, and in fact, 39% of Republicans who continue to parrot this nonsense can't even identify which country Benghazi is in, it keeps getting screamed from the conservative hilltops.

    After the attack began, the CIA and the American Embassy in Tripoli, Libya tried to mount a rescue, but by the time they got there, the building had already been burned down. Where's the scandal in that? Hillary Clinton had no part of it. It's just another phony scandal that is Republican language for "Please god don't let Hillary run!"

    Agree with all of this. When fox news used the Benghazi situation in their newcasts everyday until Obama's reelection you knew it was bullshit!

    It's kinda sad how Fox News and the GOP are using the tragedy of the event to push their political agenda

    Let's not be hasty now. There's nary a political force out there who hasn't danced on a pile of dead bodies.
