Romney & Benghazi
Vanity | 11/1/12 | Me

Posted on 11/01/2012 8:17:00 PM PDT by PAR

This will likely not be a popular opinion but I suspect many here are thinking the same thing and are probably keeping quiet because we are so close to the election and we all desperately want to be rid of Obama (If you doubt that I feel that way check out my posting history).

RE :”It’s a job for Romney supporting “super-PACS.” They need to get on it now! Win, win, win; for Romney, the American people & the families of those “left behind”

Good point, what is that rodent Karl Rove doing except trying to look like he knows what he's talking about on FNC? What is Crossroads doing?

Has your Senator and Congressman addressed the issue? Unlike Mitt Romney, they are elected officials.

I understand your concerns over the risk, but it makes my head spin that a travesty has occurred and we aren’t suppose to say anything because of media meanies.

This is war, and silence from Romney is getting as embarrassing as Obama’s silence is outrageous.

Risk aversion is exactly why Republicans have lost the country.

Romney is letting Obama off the hook on Benghazi

Agree. Farcical.

Security briefings, yes, you have a very good point.

My HO is that 1) Romney cannot opine on this as it has not become general knowledge to the majority of the voters. It has not, and he just cannot inform them- they won’t believe him, who can believe this?- it’s just not his role at the moment, whether that’s convenient to his campaign or not.
and 2) Romney is not in charge. He is applying for the job, he is simply not in charge.

About my first point: Mara Liasson (I Don’t know how to spell her name) complained that Mitt had not spoken on this. That’s all I need to know. SHE is not there to give him advice; so what did she say that for? A- to set him up, B- to attack him on it from whatever angle possible as ordered and C- to deflect the job/lack thereof away from herself and her liberal media colleagues.

Mitt is not as stupid as they pretended he is.

That makes them just crazy.

The most important reason, other than perhaps security, is that it will not help Mitt with the voters he’ll need, and it may hurt him tremendously.

Mitt is just not a gambler. Let’s let him get into office and jump at him them.

Benfgazi I misspelled that, Benghazi is a mess. It will never go away. I said it on Sept 11, “Hello,! the ambassador was just killed!”. He is equivalent to a four-star general.

These people do not have enough sense to respect that. They will, though.

Won’t mention that they DO keep messing with our beloved, dear special ops guys.

BO’s lame duck session will be filled with rats performing final daredevil dives off the bus and congressional hearings. Darn, they were so hoping to blame Mitt. Good.

OK.

See you all on the other side of this. I think the campaign is over but a few rallies.

If he loses he will look like just another stupid AH like McCain was.

And if he wins, he won't, unlike yourself this very moment.

Here’s the thing - many of the responses assume that the situation re the media and the people is static. That does not necessarily have to be the case. A leader leads by having the confidence in him/herself to 1) know what is right 2) and be able to convince others to follow his lead. This is what Reagan did.

There is no question the media and Obama would attempt to crucify Romney if he attacked on this issue. But Romney has what very few Republicans will ever have, he has the bullypulpit. They can’t ignore him. If he holds a press conference, they have to cover it.

I’m pretty cynical, but I also believe that there are alot of people who are completely sick of the lying media and lying politicians and who would respond well to someone who calls a spade a spade in very blunt terms (BTW, this is one of the reasons he won the first debate).

RE :”And if he wins, he won't, ..... “

That was implied by my point.

Weren't you chasing that Palin 2012 bus for a while?
What happened to that? Did she slam on the breaks and you ran into it head on?

So lets see, Palin...Romney.,,mum on Benghazi...

HMMM

Romney was not silent, neither are the PAC's, and neither are we. Unfortunately the major media and Bambi are not only silent, but complicit and willing to lie and collude with each other about what happened, witness the second debate.

What is he supposed to do with that kind of unwillingness to report the truth?

Right now he has the momentum, what he is doing is working. Despite the MSM silence, word is out and it is highly likely Romney will win convincingly and the senate will go GOP. I am as angry as you, and there will be time to vent that anger after next week. Then it will be time to go after the rotten to the core media.

It's damned if you do, damned if you don't with the main stream media.

" I was watching and listening to a former Marine on Greta tonight give his opinion on the Benghazi debacle and I just reached the point where I have had enough. The bottom line is that I think it is disgraceful that Romney has not addressed the Benghazi scandal over the last week, particularly as more and more damning information has come out on a daily basis. "

Yes, you, I and others here would want him to address this issue,, not put it in another perspective ?

After the hurricane with all the destruction and suffering do you think that the main stream media would have crucified Romney by going after Obama on that issue and try to make Romney look like he's detached and disconnected from people's suffering ?

They tried to ambush Romney, no, wait, the main stream media did ambush Romney in that News Conference a day after the attack on the US Embassy leaving 4 dead in Benghazi.

Those were brilliant comments. Too bad the obvious is the enemy to so many fools.

I think he knows the media would love for him to say something... ANYTHING... because they can then spend all their energy dissecting, mocking, and twisting his comments. By saying nothing (for now), the media can’t make him and his comments the focus.

We saw that exact thing happen at the very beginning. Now that they haven’t been able to use his comments as a distraction, the truth is starting to leak out.

My advice: Don't bother with sicko, he hates everything equally, complains about it all, does nothing, and generally needs to get a life. He's like Eeyore with an edge and bad breath........

I have missed the PAC voice on Benghazi, and Romney was silenced by the media. Timing was such that media could hide Benghazi by spending it on excoriating Romney.

Romney as a leader needs to roar on Monday. The votes are already lined up. The Marxist minds will not be changed, but many know very little of the leaks that have been revealed from the msm.
