You know what they say about winning elections. "It's the economy stupid"
Yeah I figured that's what you meant, that why I typed overall debate. There are so many "one issue voters" out there, this election may not be determined by the economy...sadly.

Yet all Romney could put forth when asked about how he was going to pay for his tax cuts and create those 12 million jobs in four years is 'I KNOW how to create jobs and I KNOW how to fix the economy'. BUT when asked how he would do that, he would never say so nor would he volunteer that info either.

Seriously Romney keeps claiming he can create jobs, yet he's sitting on TENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS of his own money much of it overseas that he could be using to creating businesses that are putting Americans to work, yet he himself isn't doing so. HOWEVER he still is advocating for tax cuts that would benefit himself and people like him greatly as if that's going to get Mitt himself to become a 'job creator' when he isn't now?

Doesn't anyone see something wrong with this? Romney is one of those people that's suppose to be a 'job creator' and a major part of his platform is creating jobs, yet here he is sitting on the sidelines with his cash not in the US economy nor is he creating any jobs with his millions.

President Obama Speaks on the Attack on Benghazi - YouTube
Quote:
No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.
Transcript from the USA government. Acts is plural and not a specific act. So he really didn't refer to Libya as an act of terror specifically. That being said Mitt fumbled Libya and once Obama owned Libya he should have moved on.

No, "act of terror" and "terrorist attack" mean two different things to Cons, though ignore the fact that both phrases use the word "terror."

Wrong, an act of terror is a calculated use of violence against civilians..

An attack against an embassy isnt against civilians..

Not at all the same...
Really all of those things are exactly 47%? That is one hell of a coincidence, because it is not true. 96% of people in America have been dependent on government for one thing or another be it medicare, student loans, small business grants, public education, and most of the remaining 4% are too young to have gotten anything yet.
