This might be too simple for our dysfunctional US Senate to grasp: "A boat is leaking. One must first plug the leaks in order to prevent it from sinking." Ergo, border security FIRST. Only then can we decide what to do with the millions of infiltrators among us.

Dougherty says: "If the presidential election was in November 2013, instead of last year, would the outcome have been markedly different?" - - - - - This point is moot. It should be obvious that the ObamaCare timeline was crafted very carefully to take effect AFTER the presidential election.

Yes, yes she CAN be held responsible for each and every action of her subordinates. She was in charge; she failed to set the proper tone; she (and her minions) covered up the malfeasance; she (as Secretary of State) is absolutely responsible for "each and every action of [all] State Department employee[s], when said actions occurred on her watch.

The Emperor is buck naked.

News Flash for Mr. President: Americans DON'T trust the government.

Why does Town Hall bother reporting on the blather that issues forth from the idiot Chris Matthews on a daily basis? Is it any surprise to anyone that Matthews has once again displayed his idiocy?

That petty little man couldn't speak to the fawning crowd before him without prepared remarks for even a few moments? He is hopeless without his teleprompter.
