Maybe Clinton had an affair with him and he threatened to go public 
Maybe there was a video to blame....

What happened to the movie? Oh yes, it's supposed to not be very good.
FOX News of course is blaming liberal movie critics...because conservatives take accountability for their actions.

So because some critics don't like the movie...what, exactly? That means she didn't do anyhting wrong? And if the movie was universally hailed as a masterpiece, you would conclude that she's unfit to be POTUS? Right, right...
It was pretty good, as John said, fairly true to the book. But not a documentary. |

Nothing is (to the) left of his mind? Ha! See what I did there?
He is devoted, that's for sure. When Nixon left in disgrace, I think his approval rating was around 25%. Spence is at least that devoted. |

No, I'm saying that FOX is blaming liberal movie reporters for the movies poor performance. Which is a shame because they hoped to use the movie to kill Clinton's campaign. |

Obama actually didn't get the military spending increase he requested in the last budget. |

No, he got 6% instead of 6. 5%
Sometimes is not how much you get it's how you spend it .

I wonder how many ships got built bc Sen. Lott got $ put into the budget so they would be built in Miss. even though the navy didn't want them or bc some Sen. wanted planes built in his district or some Congressman didn't want a base closed the Army wanted to close.
Give the $ to the Military and let them decide how to spend it.

I think the number of active US naval ships is at an all-time low.
At least they're getting a product for that money , they could be giving it away to illegal aliens

Yes, a product that the military says they don't want or need.
Wasn't it Romney who made that same statement and it was proven false? You do know comparing an aircraft carrier to a ship from 1890 might not be the best comparison.
Do you have a link to show that the number of ships is at an all time low?

I guess al time low was a stretch , since 1911 is more accurate . I think the number of air craft carriers is lower also . There are a number of good articles on it , use Google

Considering a modern ship can project the firepower of multiple older ships I render this talking point lame.

That .5% cut on the Military Budget amounts to $5 BILLION less.
You can support a lot of special anti terrorist strike forces with that,
small and large.
Large ships do have the fire power, but having enough to strategically deploy
is another story. The more the better, if we had a carrier deployed in the Mediteranian
at the time, we wouldn't be having this discussion about Benghazi.

now that's putting your Bernie Thinking Cap on....funny, when you go to the WIKI page for Pell Grants this appears on the first line... "It is an entitlement"....you can replace Pell Grants with just about any entitlement and make the argument that someone would be better off somewhere if they got free something rather than the government spending that money on something else

Yes another entitlement. How about increasing Soc Sec benefits for seniors who have paid in all there lives ? It all depends as to where you are in life as to what you want
Kids can always find a way to go through college by working, scholarships,
loans, community college etc.
However unless you have a strong military to defend
the country and be in a strong position to negotiate and fight terrorism everything else is mute. |

Would that be the pin from the Hillary voodoo doll you were clinging to the entire movie? |
