To be fair, he mentioned the non-abortion services that PP provides such a mammograms and paps.

When did Planned Parenthood start providing mammograms?? It used to be that they only referred women for mammograms.

Yep. Again, in fairness to Candi Crowley, I think she genuinely feels that is what Obama meant. But, feeling doesn’t cut it. It isn’t what he said. He lied.

Whatever happened to the reading/listening comprehension skills that we were all supposed to get in high school? I read the transcript you provided and I think it’s clear that saying “no act of terror blah blah blah” is in direct reference to the attacks in Libya. I’m not trying to be snarky but am I missing something? 🤷

Of course he would not mention abortion by name, nobody that publicly supports PP such as Hollywood celebrities do, because they know it would not be popular. If you mention the few health services they provide is fine, but if you mention the fact that PP is America’s biggest abortion provider that would go down well

Well, as a “pro-life” CAF Obama supporter stated on another thread, “abortion” is not a medical procedure. :rolleyes:
 
The government doesn’t create jobs according to Mitt. Funny, I have two jobs that are directly related to government subsidies or employment. I guess I’m the 47% who are leeching on society. The government in my case supports our family. But I guess jobs only come from Mormon CEO Wall Street bankers. Funny how the Marshall Plan and the military are all government programs.

“I would cut x, y, and z, and close the loopholes a, b, and c.”

That would take about 10 seconds, 15 max. And it would answer the biggest weakness in Romney’s narrative: How do you pay for these tax cuts and defense spending increase?!

You clearly have not been following the campaigns for long. Everything you say that Romney supposedly hasn’t addressed has been answered many times over the last year.

Your latest question is the easiest. More people working, means more tax payers. Even if you lower the over all tax rate. It’s what happened during Reagan and Clinton’s years.

And you’ve already been told in the previous thread on the last debate that Romney isn’t proposing increasing spending on defense, he is refusing to allow the defense cut alrady scheduled to go through.

And with that I’m done answering redundant questions. I’m starting to wonder if you are being deliberately obtuse.

Yes. You are missing the fact that it is far down in the transcript…after he spoke about the original 9/11 attacks. He didn’t use the word “terror” or “terrorist” earlier in the speech, when he was speaking directly about the attack in Libya. So, you are correct, reading/listening comprehension skills are severely lacking among Obama supporters and most reporters (well that was sort of redundant).

They don’t provide but I believe they perform well-women exams which includes clinical breast exams. I suppose they refer out. I have no idea if the PP funding covers mammograms however.

Right, but I just think it’s interesting that Romney is considered “confident” when he talks over everybody but Biden and Obama are “aggressive” or “obnoxious.” Let’s say they’re all obnoxious. 🤷 Don’t applaud bad behaviour in one but not another.

I don’t like it when either candidate does it. Makes me want to put them in a time out for being rude. 😃 Just saw a clip of Romney arguing too. Seriously…can’t they act like adults?

Good thing for the candidates that I’m not the mod. I’d have them both crying like little boys.:eek:

Probably this comes from the fact that Ambassador Rice went on 5 talk shows several days afterwards and said it was a protest related to the video. The President said the same thing several days afterwards on Dave Letterman and Jay Carney said it repeatedly in press briefings for many days after the attack. This was despite the fact that everyone knew it was not a protest immediately. There was real time video of the attack which showed it was not a protest and that it was a coordinated attack. Only after the main stream media started asking questions and people started testifying before congress did the narrative change from the White House.

When asked tonight “what is the biggest misconception voters have about you” to the President, he stated that the misconception was that he believes the government creates jobs. He stated unequivocally that the American entrepreneurial spirit does.

Unfortunately, they didn’t build that.
