So Romney was wrong for calling it a terrorist attack? Wow, Romney really bombed this debate didn't he.
Actually that would make Obama wrong, since he said called it one, when not only did he not call it one, but there isnt a need, by definition to call it something that its not..
Government buildings are NOT civilian buildings, and terrorist attacks are actions against CIVILIANS...
You losers might want to check the break down of some of the insta polls. CNN and CBS both show Romney won on economy big and won on deficits and even health care.
How many posts are you going to make about the economy polls? Getting a little tired of reading it over and over in every thread. Lol!
I'd love to hear why you think Romney is ahead in those polls, instead of just posting "hey look everybody!" it's a no brainer why Romney is ahead in that one and only poll. Duh.
Romney is a successful businessman, and people can project that success as possible success in the American economy. all you can do is assume he will bring that success to the table.
Obama took over a failed economy that was burning to the ground. Bringing an economy out of such a drastic failure cannot happen in 4 years, likely not even in 40 years no matter who is president. But at least Romney has the benefit of the doubt on his side. Doesn't mean his attempts at recovery are going to be any more fruitful, especially when he would love to bring our country into another war if given the chance.

Reason: Typo
But the corporation isn't a person, the people who work for it are....unless you are saying a building is a person? I thought an Embassy wasn't a person, yet their were people in it that were killed.
So which is it? Your Conservative logic is just confusing....does that mean a corporation can get the death penalty if it commits a crime? You know cause a corporation is a person afterall.
funny thing about corporations:
Despite not being natural persons, corporations are recognized by the law to have rights and responsibilities like natural persons ("people"). Corporations can exercise human rights against real individuals and the state,[4][5] and they can themselves be responsible for human rights violations.[6] Corporations can be "dissolved" either by statutory operation, order of court, or voluntary action on the part of shareholders. Insolvency may result in a form of corporate failure, when creditors force the liquidation and dissolution of the corporation under court order,[7] but it most often results in a restructuring of corporate holdings.
Corporations can even be convicted of criminal offenses, such as fraud and manslaughter. (wikipedia)

Only people can pay taxes, so you think corporations should be tax exempt?
Embassies arent people either, and they dont pay taxes, they are GOVERNMENT assets..

That makes sense, therefore Romney was wrong as well for demanding Obama call it a terrorist attack if it wasn't a terrorist attack....maybe someone should inform Romney what the definition means.
And 9-11 was JUST an attack on BULDINGS...
And the Pearl Harbor attack was JUST an attack on a PORT...
And ...
None of the attackers wanted to HURT anybody.

Oh for gods sakes, I never thought people were this dumb.
9-11 was an attack on WTC, CIVILIAN buildings, hence it was a terrorist attack, (which requires an attack against CIVILIANS) The attack against the Pentagon would not have been a terrorist attack, since its a government building, but they used civilian aircraft which made it one.
Pearl Harbor is a military base, and because its a government building, it is NOT a terrorist attack.. which again, requires an attack against civilians.

Does that mean everyone at that corporation gets put away for the crime? That would suck to be working in the mail room at a corporation and then having to serve a life sentence cause your corporation committed manslaughter.

Your examples actually prove I'm correct..
Technically the WTC was a state government building that was controlled by the state of NY and NJ.
