Hey, House GOP majority -

It's Wrong to hold the country hostage.

.

Do the right thing. It's sad to see how the right-leaning party sometimes can't get things right.

It's wrong to hold the country hostage. Take it from a female pig. You won't find a bigger expert on pork this side of the fiscal trough. Do the right thing GOP and fill the trough again with borrowed slop for our female pig and all the little slop-happy piglets. Hey house GOP majority you're dealing with squealing pigs here not rational beings. Pigs want the basics. Slop, sex and plenty of mud to wallow in and splash on the wall.

    Four months later and The State Dept. still doesn't have the money that was funded for increased security at our embassies, due to the GOP. Take up for these blowhards at your own country's risk.

    ...and what do you have against women?

            Hillary doesn't lie any better than Bill did. Please answer the question, "why did you and the guy in the WH decide to lie to the American public after both of you saw our four Americans get murdered and then you send out the "dog and pony" show with Amb. Rice?" Also, if you're really responsible, why aren't we putting you in jail for being culpable in the unneeded death of four citizens and your derelection of duty. Both you and the guy who believes he has some talent to be president should be impeached! Talk about reaching your level of incompetence; both you and the president have shown that you have!

              Here we have the wife of a president who was getting head in the oval office and did nothing about his lies and the impeachment process that followed. If that dose not embarrass you, going before the peoples committee is a joke.

              Nobody on that committee except, McCain, Rubio and Johnson attempted to focus in and went she went 180 with the answerer's.

              Not one of the committee members asked "where did the story of the film come from"? If you noticed whenever a question was asked she go to her BINDER and read the answerer. On the surface it would appear that questions were submitted a head of time.

              I will leave with one thought---approx. 545 men and women (all three branches) control the lives of 380 million people.
