I see this whole incident as a missed opportunity for Romney to actually do the right thing and look Presidential.


This tragic incident is not something to be politicized - it is the time when we close ranks.
Romney had an opportunity to come out today and admit that something happened in his campaign that he is not proud of, that he was unaware of it until it had already gone out (which I will be generous and assume to be true), but that it was inappropriate, and unfortunate, and that such a tragedy was not something over which either party should be trying to score points on. Apologies all round, and get back to things. He comes off looking like a star, in charge and owning responsibility for his campaign.

He did not do this.


I agree with what is shown above, but don't worry. In true Romney fashion he'll have about 24 hours of vagueness and be back at pretending he stands behind something he never said.

Far as the President goes, I don't fault him for telling a PRIVATE CITIZEN who set up a really bogus looking imitation of the press room at the white house in an effort to SEEM presidential, to Shut the fuck up and let the Pros handle it.
  It isn't like he spent the whole day on it. And  as a matter of fact, it LOOKS like he spent the entire rest of the day bringing all his  assets into play.

It's been furthur confirmed the Administration did have information about real threats to our Embassies prior to the statement.


Um. You're claiming that the Administration had foreknowledge of the upcoming attack and failed to ensure the safety of those attacked? Got a source for that?


Naw, he is just upset that you have an OP about Bush having been forewarned in 2001....Is he going to threaten to tie you to a tree as well? lol

Following the GOP during an election cycle is akin to bad reality TV. Sadly, Americans can't get enough of this shit.

Do a bizzarro exercise. Imagine the GOP's reaction to Al Gore: (1) Not acting on the OBL intelligence reports before 9/11; (2) Then leading the nation into the $1Billion dollar sinkhole of IRAQ; (3) Then botching up Afghanistan; (4) Lastly sending the economy off a cliff through lack regulatory oversight.

All of you realize, don't you, that any of our diplomatic core, especially those in Islamic countries are pretty much always on high alert for terrorist activity? And it was the anniversary of 9/11. I also hope you realize that "threats" to American interests worldwide occur fairly regularly. Most of these "threats" turn out to be nothing but chatter. If anyone out there thinks that these "threats" are anything new on the landscape, it is simply incorrect. Post hoc it is always easy to say we had information.

Status: offline 		I apologize for the original title of this thread. It's pretty clear that the GOP itself didn't have much to say on the attack. Romney shot off his mouth without his advisors' input, and the GOP for the most part has been telling him to quietly back down gracefully since.

Hard go say here. Priebus and Romney seem to share the same lie hete. McCain is trying to sidestep the issue, and some Republicans are actively telling Romney tl back down.

Sarah is the "head", ....the leader of the tea-party thingie......


That`s like half of the GOP ............and all of foxnewt`s watchers......(not a type-o)

Sarah, is mouth-breathing just as much as much their chosen "leader" Mitt or the head of their RNC....what`s his name.

It`s completely fair to use GOP in the title.

Sure a few cons won`t touch this with a ten foot pole......but fools rush in where angels fear to tread..
