Starting TALK

Now that Congressman Gowdy will head a 'Select Committee' on Benghazi, I'll be 'watching' and contributing to this page. Not seeing the TALK page, I thought it good to start today. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 17:41, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional content?

Much of the content of this page appears to be written with intentions to positively promote the subject, instead of simply provide information on the subject. Note "prosecuted the full gamut" and "ardent social conservative," for example. Also found additional dead links. Recent news questioning the legality Gowdy's taken in Benghazi trials should be included, as well. Don't know if I could update/correct without appearance of partisanship myself, though. I hope someone can take this one and update.

Hard not to use those adjectives when describing him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.165.101.102 (talk) 02:00, 4 October 2016 (UTC) Regroce (talk) 17:00, 20 October 2015 (UTC)regroce[reply]

is Gowdy's staff controlling this article?

Every news outlet in North America (and beyond) is writing about what a farce the Benghazi investigation is and how Gowdy made a mockery of it and what a failure it is for the GOP and not one mention of it in the article. Gowdy is the laughing stock of the GOP right now, a complete failure and you're keeping those details out of the article. Gowdy's PR team is impressive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.183.249.2 (talk) 16:58, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree that the non-Conservative Drive-By Media are going after this fellow sure. That is what the Drive-By Media does to people who get in the way of their agenda. This is news? --24.177.0.156 (talk) 15:52, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah! You tell'em 24.177.0.156! Damn liberal media with their agenda to hypnotize Mexican gays into crossing the border and then unplug our brain-dead ladies. A pox on them I say! ;-) Joltergeist (talk) 01:43, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Misc

I think its neat this guy had a career of putting killers in prsion before his congressional service. I saw him on Forensic Files Driven to Silence and I read he was on another one as well. He put away a cold case killer in 05 for the rest of his natural life/ no parole. --24.177.0.156 (talk) 15:54, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Criticisms Section

Someone should really, really take a hard look at the Criticisms section in this article. Someone went and bias POVd all over it. danzig138 (talk) 23:40, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nickname

It would be interesting to know where the nickname "Trey" comes from. Grover cleveland (talk) 22:54, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just a guess, but his formal name signifies he is the 3rd Gowdy with that name.....mahaatma  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:BC0:BF60:4C34:C6E3:2A1:CC94 (talk) 20:19, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute between Dtintegral and Snooganssnoogans

I would encourage both users to come to the talk page rather than edit-war. Tera TIX 11:36, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Talk page discussion should always be the first stop if an edit warring situation seems to be developing. In this case, it's past the developing stage. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 14:16, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

House of Reps

I certainly resonate with your outrage Mr. Gowdy over Congress inability to address these horrifically tragic school shootings. Why not contact your Congressman to bring him to task for ignoring this continuing problem...oh...wait a minute...YOU were an ineffective congressman...for years. 108.49.49.36 (talk) 23:19, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
