Was there a Congressional select/special committee formed after the barracks/embassy bombings?

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Its best Hillary's vulnerabilities are exposed now in the primaries by Bernie Sanders so she can work on them, instead of getting tripped by Rovian attacks."Hillary Clinton helped Barack Hussein Obama crash the global economy so her Wall Street fatcat backers could make trillions shorting the market. But CANDIDATE NAME HERE is ready to fight to get Washington regulators off the back of job creators and hardworking small business owners, and build a new prosperity for America."
C'mon, are we forgetting Karl Rove already? They can totally take two completely contradictory positions at the same time and sell it with a straight face. They've done it plenty of times.

This makes no sense.
Republicans won't paint her as being lax on Wall Street because that's exactly what they want from a president.
They'll try to do the opposite: paint her as an over-regulating, job-killing Democrat.
Jeb Bush campaign makes $7.8 million ad buy for Janurary and February.
It's going to be a really long time before the field shrinks significantly, isn't it?
C'mon, are we forgetting Karl Rove already?

Karl Rove's meltdown was the best thing to come from the 2012 election. Eat shit, asshole.How could we ever forget Karl Rove?
CarvilleWho is the Democrat's Karl Rove?
I love reading through these "Conservative scorecard" shit things:
http://www.heritageactionscorecard.com/members/member/G000569
This Republican is sitting at a 0% right now because he thinks the gas tax should exist, the federal government should handle freeways, people shouldn't be able to legally discriminate against gay people, and because he has no position on the import-export bank.
lmao.

Alright. Got a feeling. Hold Kentucky, pick up Louisiana. Jim Hood does so well in the AG race in Mississippi that he automatically gets promoted to governor.Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha..
Even legitimate local news outlets are running with this.. 😄
I still remember Republicans attacking obama for chained CPI and the sequester cuts that he only accepted as a compromise to the Republicans.

Dixiecrat miracle.
Btw the LA gov is actually very powerful - he appoints committee chairmen in the legislature. So even if Edwards were governor with Republican majorities in the legislature he could appoint allies to legislative posts.
Well. I do think Conway will win KY. That's the only firm prediction I'd like to make - Dems could win the State Senate majority in VA but it seems like a tossup at best, and I hear Hood is doing fine in MS (seems AG is viewed as nonpartisan enough that they're fine with a token Democrat) but I haven't paid much attention. Vitter losing... I'll really have to see it to believe it. But no reason not to hope when things seem to be breaking our way.You know an election is coming when Optimistic Aaron is back.
Did you see the internal showing Bevin losing he released? LolWell. I do think Conway will win KY.

Probably because you'd placate some young people who are still unlikely to turnout anyway to further turnoff the culturally conservative non-college educated [white] vote that the Democratic party is progressively losing.I don't see why she's playing it safe with marijuana. If anything, saying you're for legalization could help with turnout among young voters.
I get why Clinton wouldn't want to come out as pro-marijuana, but her answer in the debate sounded nakedly political - it didn't seem like honest doubt about the issue. I have to think that it hurts her less to just be pro-legalization than to reinforce that she's saying whatever it takes to get elected.
That was my problem with the answer, and one of the reasons I thought she came across as a weather vane. It's a really disappointing answer.
That along with her non explanation about the emails and why she apologized and now says its political, etc. and her saying she represented Wall Street but told them to cut it out...
She just disappointed me most of the debate. It really sucks going from someone like Obama who is energizing and felt genuine to Clinton who just feels so politically motivated at every turn. Ugh

Right, because Obama has come out about legalization already.
She has literally the exact same position as Obama on the issue: a politically-correct response of allowing the legal states to test it out before it can move on to the national level (while probably believing in legalization personally). Which is the best we can expect from ANY president given that you need a congressional vote to reschedule/legalize.
It's not just that issue, really. I realize why she needed to go that route, I just didn't particularly like the way she phrased it. That's most of what I'm disappointed in. Her answers, while politically expedient just came across... well... as literally just politically expedient.
Again, it's not just that question. There were a bunch, and it's possible that Anderson Cooper's harsh grilling of the debaters and really not letting them get off easily is also what did it. Maybe it's not terribly logical, either. I'm just telling you guys what I felt. I was really disappointed in her performance and it worried me when it comes to a general election.
I know Obama also fell into that trap a bit from time to time, but to me he always managed to counter balance that with passion either on other subjects or a very believable genuinely on the same subject. There's a reason I was for Obama and not Hillary last time, and years later it's just a bummer seeing that she's still about the same if not possibly a bit more transparent on these issues and the only reason she's going to take it all is that there isn't anyone who is better to take it from her.

To me this just sounds like it boils down to charisma since Hillary and Obama are nearly identical on the issues (and have essentially the exact same donors). Obama lied about his real position on gay marriage out of sheer political expedience, and that was incredibly obvious too. So I don't see how you can knock Hillary on this and not him. Hillary represents, essentially, a third term of Obama, which is a prospect I'm totally fine with.
Well, I mean that's partially what debates are about. Charisma, wording of answers, and confidence. It isn't really about exact positions. I mean I don't think Obama if asked something about how he would be a different president than say, Bill Clinton, would have responded "I'm black" like Hillary said she's a woman.
The basics of some of her answers weren't terribly wrong, mind you. I'm not even really arguing against her positions. She just sucked at conveying them in a genuine way. There's a way to say "I'm a woman and I'll bring a woman's perspective while continuing the progress we're on" without saying it the way she did. There's a way to say she'll crack down on Wall Street without literally saying she represented Wall Street and then walked over there to tell they "hey cut it out."
It's only the first debate, I'm sure they're already reworking some of the answers that felt off. She's only going to get better.
