An Appreciation Thread for the Benghazi Committee [View all]

I am at a loss as to how to fully express my gratitude to the Benghazi Committee for holding this hearing today.

As a result thereof, the American people have been afforded yet another glimpse into the mindlessness of Republicans, and their determination to waste the taxpayer’s time and money on bullshit.

In addition, American voters have now seen the intelligence, courage and fortitude of the Democratic Party’s current front-runner in action.

Above all, any and all delusions about a potentially fatal split within the Democratic Party due to their support of two different candidates as our nominee (Clinton and Sanders) have been forever quashed by the fact that while we may disagree amongst ourselves as to who best represents our values and objectives, we are of one mind when it comes to defending our own against the lies perpetrated by the GOP.

Sanders supporters have rallied around HRC today. And I’ve no doubt that were it Senator Sanders being subjected to this kind of witch hunt, HRC supporters would be equally quick to take his part against any and all Republican idiots.

We Democrats will undoubtedly resume our in-fighting tomorrow morning over which candidate should represent our party in the 2016 election. But tonight we are ALL Hillary supporters – in the same way we would ALL be Sanders supporters tonight, were he the one being grilled for hours over alleged wrongdoings completely fabricated by a party that apparently has nothing better to do with its time.

So a heartfelt thank you to the GOP for so blatantly demonstrating that it has nothing to offer the nation other than lies and innuendo, for giving we Democrats the opportunity to display how quickly we can stand united when anyone is under attack by the GOP, and for letting the voters know that Hillary Clinton has what it takes to be the next President of the United States.

Our gratitude knows no bounds.
