It may just be cynicism, but I suspect the Benghazi circus we are seeing is nothing more then an elaborate smoke screen to knock subjects like Amnesty, Gosnell trail and the Economy out of the News. Its not like their past performance record indicates anything is going to happen no matter how bad it seems. The Senate will refuse to do anything.

One thing we know for certain, the Liberal media cannot be trusted. There is no way they would do anything that would really hurt their Messiah. So when they do a 180 like we have been seeing here it follows their reasons for doing so are not benign.

This ad would've blown up in the GOP's face.

Yes, it would have. Just as doing nothing "blows up" in the GOP's face. in other words, EVERYTHING blows up in the GOP's face.

So why not take a stand for SOMETHING rather than NOTHING. Hmmmm?

---

Because there was nothing to gain.

---

There's nothing to lose either. So, if there's nothing to gain and nothing to lose why not do what's right?

Picking your battles is fine if you are fighting with principled people--The Republicans wouldn't run the Rev. Wright ad either because it was "out of bounds". Then the dims run the ad that implied Romney killed someone. Obama sat in a racist church for 20 years and the RNC said nothing we have gutless people who will not fight for our principles we have been fighting with THEIR rules and we lose

The Climate was wrong? Really--In this PC age the Left has made there will never be a right time unless our side makes the effort to push back without hand wringing--So we should just sit back and let the Left control the narrative--how about setting our own narrative

In any fight you have to pick your battles. The debates already gave cover to the lies, in too short a time pounding the truth to the deaf dumb and blind would have rallied even more to the dark side. (dark side, get it? giggle)

Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves. -Winston Churchill

And, that's the bottom line.
