U.S. Rep. Billy Long issued the following statement after voting to form a select committee to investigate the Benghazi terrorist attack:
"This administration has not been truthful with the American people about the deadly attack in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, or about its response to that attack. Our nation's credibility is in jeopardy. A nation which cannot tell itself the truth about the death of its own brave citizens, including its own ambassador, is not a nation which can be relied upon to vindicate its alliances, fight for its principles, or safeguard its interests abroad. Moreover, the American people have a right and a responsibility to know what their government has done in their name. Above all, we have an obligation to honor those four men who died in service to their fellow citizens half a world away from their home. I know my colleague Trey Gowdy will lead this select committee with the utmost integrity and with a singular focus to unravel the truth of this matter.

Im having a tough time believing anything that comes out of Billys mouth. (Insert 'putting food in his mouth' joke here)
No s--t Billy why don't just go get a $1800 meal in vegas and shut up your just full of info not
When a conservative is in office, the liberals attack over everything. When a liberal is in office, the conservatives attack over everything.
On either side, sometimes they have a point and sometimes they don't.
I feel like it's a weak leader that spends all their time attacking and never balancing that out with creating something for their constituents. No matter what side you're on, if you're gonna tear down, you gotta be able to build something new in its place.
Attacking without creating is the kind of grandstanding that is done mainly for political points. Talk radio guys do that to sell books and coffee mugs. I know Billy Long has that in his background, and maybe that gets him votes, but I'd like to see him build something, too, since he's so keen on letting others bankroll his belly.
Yeah I'd like to see Billy build something. Just as Long as he he doesn't get his boxes of nails from China or Mexico or where ever they're coming from. Freedumb and so on and so forth.
I find it strange that Bush can kill over 5000 of our troops with the lies he told about WMD's that were never found and not be put in prison. On top of that it was the Republican's who cut security funding for Benghazi ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/10/jason-chaffetz-embassy_n_1954912.html) yet they still try to blame it on the President. This has racism written all over it.
What Billy Long says is irrelevant to me. But as a parent, if my son was one of those murdered, it absolutely would make a difference exactly what happened in Benghazi. The skin color of the president is also irrelevant. Men were murdered. Lies were told. We as Americans need to know, once and for all, what happened and who did not do his or her job. It's all about accountability to me, no matter the political party.
Very funny 4:31 pm
Good point 7:42. So very true on every point. And randy I may hate your attitude about the school district but I do appreciate the other issues you focus on. After reading your blog and being informed of how much money this guy spends on food just makes it so easy to be sure this guy is out for himself.
