Romney also didn't even start the Binders Full of Women project, that was done by an independent group before he was elected. And, while running Bain, women were seriously underrepresented in top positions. http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/20...-women-ctd.html

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 17, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) To me it's so plausible I don't understand why he's not explaining it that way to the public, so I'm assuming it's a BS response. Why continue this crap argument (lie) that they maintained it was an act of terrorism from day one if the real answer is that they knew it was an "act of terror" but couldn't yet determine if it was a legitimate, pre-planned attack by a terrorist group? being a response to a dumb video and being an act of terror are not mutually exclusive this was a good article in the nyt going over the attacks: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/16/world/af...;pagewanted=all

I think this may have been my favorite exchange: That last line was stone-cold and Romney walked right into the trap.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 10:20 PM) i saw that. some guy even cursing on air. haha. yeah that was great

lol Fox News has Frank Luntz interviewing a panel (entirely of older white people) about how bad Obama is and why Romney is so awesome

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 10:05 PM) I suppose the question is whether people are listening to the moderator that closely Obama did explicitly ask her to "say that again"

Disagree, Obama saying it could be written off as "he said, she said, who knows!" while the moderator stating that you are factually incorrect is more persuasive so long as the moderator is perceived as fair.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:55 PM) That is my point. If they felt/knew it was terrorism, why send the UN ambassador out five days later on every Sunday morning show to say otherwise. I don't know. But Romney lied when he said that they didn't call it an act of terror, because Obama did, the next day.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:48 PM) And he called it terrorism the next day,but yet his UN ambassador came out five days later saying what??? Without ~details~, who will ever know?! edit: seriously, they were unclear on this for a bit, but Obama said it was a terrorist attack on 9/12. Period. To say otherwise is to lie. edit2: is there a non-Daily Caller-type site that has a summary of these statements? I haven't really been following this dumb "they blamed a video!" non-issue.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:41 PM) And he continued to blame the video, why? It is a mystery, much like what "act of terror" he was talking about. We will never know!

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) I'm glad we had a debate just to see what was on the mind of Jews. That was a farce. sweet post, bro

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) I'm sure their families agree with your heartless answer. Yours and Issa's totally legit, non-political-at-all concern is noted.

Good move on ending with the 47% and no chance to respond.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:38 PM) Yeah details suck. And then he went on the view and to the UN and mentioned the video. I know, without specifically addressing the details of which "act of terror" he is talking about in a speech about the terror attacks on the embassy, it is impossible know what he meant.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:36 PM) 99.99% of Americans care that Bin Laden was killed under his watch and could care less about embassy security. It's a dead end issue so I'm not sure why the conservatives keep talking about it. It's not resonating with anyone. I'm not so sure about that since it does tie into the rest of the Middle East and the Arab Spring and all that. But instead of using it as a pivot to that we're focusing on security detail minutia.

Romney: "I have a Five Point Plan to get 12m people employed!" Romney: "Government does not create jobs!"

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:33 PM) Not specifically he didn't. According to US law terrorism is premeditated and Their line for days afterward was that this travesty was not pre-meditated. I guess he was just referring to some other "act of terror" for mysterious reasons!

Hooray! Chinese-level wages and worker protections, coming to the USA!

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) no one believes Romney when he says he's against outsourcing. it's a losing issue for him. well in one regard...

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:29 PM) Have 50% of the people been Jewish or other minority? This is crazy. I think they're all from Long Island.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:28 PM) not really. he just remotely said he is against killing and terror. then went on and on about how evil the Youtube video that caused the killings were. he clearly blamed the video for weeks. he didn't mention the video in that statement.

shorter Mitt Romney: "Guns don't kill people, single moms do"

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:26 PM) if you could get people to agree to it youd be for it. She is out of line, Romney got to her. It probably was out of line

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:24 PM) not her job. Obama could have been called out repeatedly as well. Romney's charge was basically right. Obama blamed Youtube and apologized for a Youtube video for weeks. Obummer called it an "act of terror" the next day.
