McCarthy is Believed to be the Next Speaker of the House

Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Tuesday evening linked the House Select Committee on Benghazi with Hillary Clinton's dropping poll numbers.

"Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee," McCarthy said on Fox News's "Hannity."
 
"What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she's untrustable," McCarthy continued.
 
"But no one would have known any of that had happened had we not fought and made that happen," McCarthy said on Fox while making his pitch to become the next Speaker.

Democrats on the committee have said the panel has run its course and have accused Republicans of making it a partisan vehicle to attack the former secretary of State.
 
The ranking Democrat on the Benghazi panel responded to McCarthy's "stunning concession," saying it showed "the core Republican goal" in creating the panel was to hurt Clinton politically.
 
"It is shameful that Republicans have used this tragedy and the deaths of our fellow Americans for political gain," Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said in a statement Wednesday, noting that Congress has spent $4.5 million on the committee.
 
"In boasting of how the Select Committee had driven down the poll numbers of Secretary Hillary Clinton, McCarthy laid bare the abusive purpose of this taxpayer funded committee," another Democrat on the panel, Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), said in a statement Wednesday.
 
Schiff said that after 16 months and millions of dollars, the committee "has gained no new insights into the attacks in Benghazi" and reiterated calls for the panel to end.
 
Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) has maintained that the committee is nonpartisan and essential for a "definitive accounting" of the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya.

So, question - has this panel found anything of relevance on Benghazi? At all?

Let's not start fighting here as well.

Beer is disgusting.

Do you ever have a good opinion?

I'm a gay white liberal, so apparently not.

Can you at least concede that Trayvon going to pound town on Zimmerman was not in the slightest bit warranted, regardless of whether he thought he was being followed or not?

If I "think" (he wasn't even 100% sure Zimmerman actually was following him by the way) I'm being followed, my first reaction isn't to go berserk and start swinging swift right hooks at my alleged stalker, and I don't think that would be most people's initial reaction either.

You also aren't a 17 year old kid. I would be freaked out if I was being stalked, and I don't question him trying to defend himself.

But I was a 17 year old kid, and I didn't go physically apeshit on people the moment I had the slightest indication they were following me. That's not a normal reaction. No rational person does that. Even most adolescents.

Oh, you were followed, on a dark rainy night, when you were 17? Or 18? Please, continue to share.

What self defense are you talking about? No injuries were found on his body with the exception of the the gunshot wound and his knuckle contusions that demonstrate he initiated the assault.

Again, the kid was being followed. What's he going to do, keep walking home without knowing who is following him and lead him to where he lives? Was Zimmerman going to stop there and assume that Martin wasn't breaking in?

The only reason Zimmerman got acquitted was being of a prosecution trumping up the charges (Manslaughter would have been fine),  and Zimmerman being the only living soul who witnessed the entire night and lived to actually give his account. Do not fake that to act like he was innocent - if he had sat in his car like he was told to, a teenager wouldn't be dead, this moron would not have his five seconds of fame, and we could move on with our lives without giving a shit.

I don't care who started the altercation

The law does.

The law has gotten shit wrong before.

They didn't this time.

Opinions are a great thing.

However, people really need to stop clamouring to these two facets as if it discredits what actually occurred. Following someone is not illegal, nor is the advice of a phone operator legally binding whatsoever. They're not law enforcement. It isn't their job to do that.

George Zimmerman isn't law enforcement. It isn't his job to do whatever it is that he did.

I don't care who started the altercation - the fact is Zimmerman acted like an idiot and decided it would be a good idea to follow a teenager, at night - and expect the kid not to get creeped out and confront him?

Rush Limbaugh claims this is part of the "leftist agenda"

You go, Rush.

So is this thread just going to instantly devolve into shitty and increasingly irrelevant meme posting? awesome.  :/

While there isn't much to discuss, besides the shitty psyche of a killer, Chaos is correct. Keep the memes to a minimum and attempt to start discussion on the topic.
