That is particularly true when every "freedom fighting" band we have
backed in 30 years in that region has turned out to be raving

sets on their revolution.


We have our own problems in this country with "raving fundamentalists,"
as was demonstrated yesterday by the Republicans on the "Get Hillary on
Benghazi No Matter What Committee."

I doubt you can put an 11 hour side show in the same category as
beheading 20 people at a time but hyperbole is the language of the
left.


They probably wanted to waterboard her.



I think the GOPers, in a way, provided Mrs. Clinton with the
opportunity of the first real presidential debate. She is formidable in
an adversarial venue in ways that her GOPer competitors are not.


Ted Cruz could slice and dice her in a debate, if facts mean anything
to you. I am not a big fan of his politics but he has good
credentials.


The problem with Cruz is that he continuously goes way over the line. He
can't control himself, and he'll look like the asshole he is. And I
doubt if he could beat Mrs. Clinton in a debate. What he has mostly
is...attitude.


Cruz is pretty smart and a Harvard educated debater. Unfortunately we
don't really have debates these days., They are just Q&A sessions
where the candidates get all of the questions in advance.

After he 96 debates where Perot and Browne sliced and diced Clinton
and Dole, with questions they did not want to answer, the parties made
sure that would never happen again. Now debates are just another stop
on the campaign trail where they get to recite lines from their stump
speech.
