Oh my gazi! Roskam investigates Benghazi

 

My Illinois Sixth District Congressman Peter J. Roskam finally gets a task to give him a break from voting 55 times to defund and dismantle the Affordable Care Act, voting to deny extension of unemployment insurance to the long term unemployed, voting against every domestic jobs creation bills to rebuild American infrastructure, and working to shut down the government as he did last year, inflicting a $24 Billion dollar hit to our economy. The task, of course, is to participate in the House's fraudulent rehash of the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack that has been investigated numerous times by Congress and the State Department. House Democrats have rightly called this politically motivated probe a "stunt" and are considering boycotting a Democratic presence on the Benghazi panel. Speaker Boehner's announcement was greeted by a firestorm of critical questions from the press who called him out on Republican attempts to use the Benghazi hearings as a fundraising tool, a ghoulish tactic that must cease. Time after time they demanded to know why the GOP is doing this. And time after time Boehner answered each question this way:

  "Our focus is getting to the truth about Benghazi." "Our focus is getting to the truth about Benghazi." "Our focus is getting to the truth about Benghazi." It was as pitiful a response to an important and valid inquiry by the press as one will ever hear.

Go to Roskam's website, www.roskam.gov and you won't find anything about creating jobs. You won't find anything about rebuilding American infrastructure. You won't find anything about supporting critical immigration reform. You won't find anything about securing full citizenship for gays. You won't find anything about giving women full reproductive freedom. You won't find anything about supporting the elimination of the avalanche of money perverting our electoral system. What you will find is "Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi". Oh yes, also more totally bogus disinformation demonizing the IRS which collects the money which pays Roskam's fabulous salary and benefits; and more feeble attempts to degrade the Affordable Care Act.
