Except she didn't, which is why you said you want to punch her. She admitted that Romney was wrong, that Obama did call it a terrorist act, and you guys were so furious that anyone would dare to use reality to put an end to one of Romney's lies that she was on a shit list ever after. That's how transparent you guys are: incapable of thinking for yourselves.
Ryan kinda came off as an annoying boob in this, didn't he?That's pretty much how I feel about this. I assumed that Romney liked his own family going into this so....that was confirmed. It's nice that he is thankful his dad was successful I guess.
EDIT: Also, did I miss it, or did they completely ignore any sort of conversation on why they chose Ryan as his running mate?
Pure semantics, Rusty. She admitted it.I cant believe someone has to explain the Please Proceed, Governor moment. It was clear as fuck to anyone who saw it. Romney goofed.

Semantics that just so happened to tell the truth of what happened, which was in opposition to what Romney said
And anyway, the fact that you guys are still hung up on Benghazi is hilarious. The New York Times investigative report, which was hugely extensive, put to death a plethora of lies told by the far right to try to smear Obama or Hillary with that 'scandal', and still you guys can't move on.
That you don't see the irony in telling others to move on after this is continued to be the case is hilarious.
Did you watch the documentary?
You're kinda killing the vibe here.
It's always good when you can see humans being actual humans. I'm going to watch it again to override your buzzkill.

BTW, great earlier post.
Yeah, you're talking to people who couldn't understand that when he said "binders full of women" he was saying "binders full of woman candidates." People who thought that his answer, which was pointing out the fact that he has hired a ton of women, was somehow an anti-feminist screed. There's no point in engaging.
WHAT UP??Ryan kinda came off as an annoying boob in this, didn't he?
It does not change the fact that Obama called it an act of terror within 24 hours, whereas Romney politicized it in no time without even having all facts on the table. There is no alternate theory here.Pure semantics, Rusty. She admitted it.

I brought up Candy Crowley half jokingly because you could feel what a turning point that was in the campaign. (I still want to punch her).Of course I watched the documentary. And I've said many times that it's clear his campaign mishandled him, and that he seems to be a very genuine person with his family.
But it'd be discounting the fullness of the portrait to a.) ignore what else it demonstrates, which is a sort of persistent incompetence and b.) ignore when people like yourself once again use it to twist what happened during certain events, like the Candy situation
I think it shows he's a good person, but also demonstrates exactly why he was a bad candidate.

I don't understand your incompetence accusations. The guy is clearly not incompetent. His handlers? I agree.
I think it was interesting that he realized himself that he was a flawed candidate.
Anyway... I wouldn't have even known about this movie if it wasn't for you liberal jackasses here, so thank you all.
I watched MITT last night and was pretty impressed. It was good but not great. Romney still lost, so that put a damper on things. Damn, I want to punch that Candy Crowley. And McCain is really an ass, isn't he?
Did anyone else see the change in Romney from the first election to the second? He became much more serious and stressed and became less of himself. It made me think how much his campaign handlers were influencing him. If he would have let more of himself shine through, he would have been better off. Too many people telling him what to do and say killed him, imo. He's obviously a bright man. That came through very well. He had a good grasp of everything, even to the point of calling himself a flawed candidate.
You're not flawed Mitt. Everyone else is.
The trailer showed a more human and relatable Mitt Romney that I ever saw from his campaign. You could vote a fucking dog into the white house with a trailer like that. I say this in a good way. Someone should run for president and put their story on TV while they do it, non dramatized. It'd be amazing.
Thats the problem though - its only skin deep. He loves his wife and family and seems to be a caring dude towards the world he knows.The trailer showed a more human and relatable Mitt Romney that I ever saw from his campaign.

WHAT UP??
I just remembered I still have a one month free trial promo so I'll use it.
bwahahahah. this and house of cards
Since we apparently have some Benghazi defenders in this thread, can y'all explain to me why Obama would want to have someone from his own administration killed?
I laughed out loud at that.
He just comes on the plane shaking hands and acting like an excited teenager.
I don't know anyone who didn't think Mitt wasn't nice (unless you were really swept up in politics at the time). I mean he's bloody mormon. Have you ever met a mean one? Of course not. They're disgustingly and genuinely nice to everyone all the time.
Absolutely loved this. I'm a total political junkie and I can not even imagine how this guy got this kind of access. We've never seen this closely the inside of the critical moments of a presidential campaign, much less successive ones.
I was riveted. Bravo. Didn't need to be a good film. Didn't need a message. Could have just been a super cut of crazy back door campaign footage and it's still a 10/10 in my book for the access alone
Conservatives will never let go of Benghazi because they put all their hopes on it ending Obama's presidency. That entire summer was full of republicans fantasizing about Reagan/Carter similarities, specifically the idea that Carter was leading the race until a major overseas disaster (Iran hostages) catapulted Reagan ahead. Benghazi was the culmination of that fantasy. The instant frenzy that followed, including Romney's hastily scheduled statement on the attack, was meant to quickly capitalize on the attack. It didn't work, and since then many of the most onerous lies about the event (including the idea that Obama demanded the military stand down, and not respond to the attack) have been debunked.
What we're left with is a CIA fuck up and blatant conservative incitement. When you accuse the president of not only letting American forces die, but gleefully watching a live feed of the event, you've gone beyond "loyal opposition" and into pure incitement territory. Obama is blatantly being accused of treason by these people.
The scenes where Mitt was constantly tidying up and picking up garbage were pretty funny. "The flipping Mormon" joke was funny too,
It was an interesting documentary, but it left out SO much. Barely any reaction from Mitt or his family on the 47% video leak, nothing except a small 'what up' from Paul Ryan, nothing about his Republican opponents (such as Rick Santorum or Ron Paul), etc.
The scene with Mrs. Romney extolling the benefits of her therapy with an Olympic horse and how it gets her through her life was pretty offensive considering Mitt's dismissal of so many people without access to affordable healthcare.

I know right? No matter how hard the director tried to paint them as "real people", these kinds of things remind us how they absolutely aren't.
Edit: Also, it's crazy that it took them so long to realize that it was all over. I remember it being fairly obvious that Obama was going to walk all over him before election day.

My read is that he's a nice, decent and very ambitious guy who supported disastrous policies.Who is this man, really? What does he really think of the average American? What were his big ideas? Where was his heart and his drive and his passion? "Restoring America" doesn't cut it, especially when we're supposed to be taking a peek behind the curtain.
Romney comes across as a very regular, decent guy, except that when bad things happen to him he spends incredible amounts of money making the problems go away, and then doesn't understand why people find private elevators distasteful, even if they were useful due to his wife's MS.
Is it better than The War Room?

Everyone knows what he meant.
Exactly.
But you're saying the opposite.
