Mitt Romney: When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. Don't know if this is real or not, but reading this made me chuckle | ||

Honestly -- and I say this as a guy that thinks Romney is a horrible nominee -- there's worse shit that has come out of his and other politicians mouths. I chalk this one up to a having a brain fart during a hectic schedule. It happens. It's his positions on issues that he has obviously thought through and meditated about -- the country club delusion that anyone who isn't stinking rich must be lazy or freeloaders, that the problem with America's foreign policy is that America's simply hasn't puffed it's chest enough -- is what should be disconcerting. | ||

Well in all fairness, presidential candidates have been known to say pretty stupid things occasionally. Though generally they weren't blatant errors in common sense. | ||

As far as I know xDaunt's posts are very good quality and nobody is stalking and reporting his posts, so he's a good guy I guess... Nobody ever really gives up hope, ya know? | ||

It has everything to do with the fact that many of the liberal posters in this thread are remarkably intolerant and closed-minded. To their credit, some of the more reasonable liberal posters have called these unreasonable liberals out on it, but not often enough. | ||

Well in all fairness, presidential candidates have been known to say pretty stupid things occasionally. Though generally they weren't blatant errors in common sense. I also am more in line with republican position on abortion as well. They are more rigid in there view though, or at least that is the impression i got. They want it banned outright while i am more of the line of thinking that as you stated. I dont see romney winning, he is lagging so hard in BG states right now. He is going to need a miracle at the debates if he has any hope of turning this thing around. As much as i dont like obama i am glad romney is not going to win. He is almost as bad as Palin | ||

Quite a few of the ultra conservative positions are almost impossibe to defend logically and since the extreme opinions are brought up so often, he is forced to steer clear to get to the more reasonable republican opinions on economy. | ||

And even those will be boring. We've basically exhausted everything. What's left? The space program? War on drugs? They're non-issues in this election year. | ||

No abortion, no matter what, as Akin said is not unheard of on the fringe and even without the stupid comment, defending killing a girl because she cannot get an abortion is also hard to sell logically.. Edit: For clarity: Almost indefensible is a stretch, but it is hard to sell a lot of the far right reasoning without religious pitching. | ||
