He spelled out exactly what he meant with his statement.

So did I.

No, I don't think you do.

I thought the point was how it benefits him to be exposed as a liar and then how that would benefit any hatchet job you think he is attempting.

That's the point of the OP, right?

No, I don't think you believe him when he said he will transcend politics.

Rex has to be the biggest glutton for punishment i've ever seen. he gets his arse handed to him on this board on a daily basis and he just keeps coming back for more.

I like your troll threads, Rex, but this is a reach. Bring it back to more defensible positions.

I'm not interested in getting attaboys from this crowd. It doesn't serve the cause of truth to throw occasional bones just to pretend you're some sort of moderate.

My depiction of that exchange is right on the money. Have you noticed that no one has seriously attempted to answer my question?

If this is a non-partisan investigation is it proper to discriminate against Democrats by excluding them from questioning the witnesses? Gowdy says it doesn't benefit himself to do so.

Which is the real translation?

Something you struggle with is the truth.

You're right. So what do YOU see?

Not one recipe in this thread yet guys, what's the deal? Only reason I click on these threads.

Sorry.


ingredients
1/2 lb extra-sharp Vermont white Cheddar
1/2 lb extra-sharp aged New York (orange) Cheddar
1 (7-oz) jar pimentos, drained and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
cayenne to taste
2/3 cup mayonnaise
preparation

Finely grate cheeses into a large bowl. Stir in pimentos, black pepper, cayenne, and salt to taste with a fork. Then stir in mayonnaise, mashing mixture with fork until relatively smooth. (It should be flecked with small pieces of pimento.)

Scrape spread into a crock or jar and chill, covered, at least 2 hours to allow flavors to develop.

Serve pimento cheese with crackers or use as a filling for finger sandwiches.

No, but who said this is a non-partisan investigation? Please point out to me the past instances where a Congressional committee was non-partisan. Who were the co-chairs from different parties? What evidence do you have that the Democrats will be discriminated against in a manner that minority party members haven't in the past?

I will remind you that the investigation is a future event. Speculation about discrimination is just that speculation. Has the House made new rules specific to this committee that treat the minority members differently than minority members have been treated in the past? If not, then shouldn't you be criticizing every House investigation conducted under the same rules?

Serving on committees is not a right. It is a privilege. If anyone chooses not to avail themselves of a privilege they have no cause to complain about how others use that same privilege.
