Leading the Charge: Trey Gowdy talks about the upcoming select committee on Benghazi with Greta Van Susteren...

"this committee will draw out all the facts"

Gowdy: "Evidence of intentional withholding of documents."

Eric Cantor and John McCain follow Gowdy.

This man is running against House Majority Leader Eric Cantor?...

no really.

Says Fox News does nothing but tell lies.

Via Truth Revolt: 

Mike Dickinson, the Democratic candidate to unseat House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, believes that Fox News does nothing but tell lies, has unqualified political analysts, and that the FCC needs to monitor and regulate them.

The question I have to ask is who exactly is funding his campaign?

Eric Cantor's "You Cut" Site. Will it make a difference?

Probably not, but it's a good way for Americans to begin to grasp the enormity of our problems. 

Check out You Cut

What the citizens of this fine country do not always grasp is the enormity of people receiving government funds.  We tend to think in terms of "welfare" without undersatnding how many people are affected or, as I prefer to think of it, infected.

Take a look at the Heritage Foundation's " The 2008 Index of Government Dependency."  It's long and dry - not nearly as much fun as reading jabs at Elena Kagan's appearance (what's up with that, anyway?  It's reprehensible and boorish.)

But here's the deal.  All this other stuff is merely a distraction from the main issue.  The number of people who receive some sort of benefit from the government far outweighs the number of productive citizens.  Even middle-class citizens are being roped in by clunker replacements and caulk for their house.  Just last week, a company contacted me to check all my duct work and do any and all repairs, compliments of my electric company.  Uh, no.  My electric company is not paying for this.  The government, meaning you, is shelling out your tax dollars.  I politely declined.

I'm heading out to plant the rest of my bushes (45 total), and when I return we'll chat about this focus on Obama.   Glenn Beck, for all his histrionics, is on the right track.  Obama is a nothing more than a puppet. After Glenn's Crime, Inc programs, I spent over a week doing nothing but researching his information.  I was shocked by the ease with which I was able to vet the people and organizations in question.

My next question would have to be, "Why is Glenn Beck able to freely point out these connections?"  The only conclusion has to be because these people don't care.  And why not?  Because they've got the system wired, and it's not to our benefit.

More to come...

Eric Cantor, Dogs, and Ponys

Eric Cantor states in this interview that the Republicans are not interested in a "dog and pony" show when they meet with Obama on health care. I'm not sure how it could be anything but a "dog and pony" show.  This meeting  is shaping up to be a classic Alinsky tactic: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”   They have already been "picked" as the target by attending a meeting completely controlled by Obama and his minions who will set the agenda, control the seating and even the cameras.

They will unable to respond (frozen) as Obama "scolds" and accuses them of being obstructionists - the "party of no."   They will be forced to sit quietly and accept this, or to get up and walk out. Neither of these options would have a good outcome.

Obama will personalize the issues by making it the Republicans fault  people are dropping in the streets due to lack of health care and being buried in Obama T-shirts (so creepy!), thereby polarizing the debate even more.

Here's the real kicker, though.  These people, and I include both Republicans and Democrats, still get paid no matter how much time and energy they waste. They will still receive all the perks of their job, and will leave office with an exorbitant tax-payer funded retirement.  Try that if you're running a business and see how well it works.
