It's an interesting theory ... but what if you're wrong and it isn't a political play? What if the outsiders have been right this whole time? What if?

Because they're all in the Gulf, the White House has outsourced our global security by focusing on the middle east rather than the hostile E.T. threat living in the Pacific Basin. Want to know why Romney wants to add 2 trillion to the defense budget? Think about it.

Which is the brilliance of their whole plan over the past 60+ years. They've made the subject so ridiculous that you dismiss everything under the umbrella of "alien" ... And now it's too late.

:lol:

:lol: I think this is my favorite one. Hadn't seen that one before, it's brilliant.

As Tom already pointed out, this was the mistake Mitt made. He was so eager to slam the President he walked right into a rhetorical uppercut. He screwed up -- doesn't justify the bungled reaction by the White House to the original incident but it certainly doesn't point to Candy colluding with Obama. Mitt screwed up. Simple as that. He screwed up over semantics (which in the grand scheme of things is nearly irrelevant but when it happens in front of 65 million Americans it has a negative effect) and Obama called him to the mat on it. All the rest that has come out of the conservative universe is just straight up denial. The silly part is, they're in denial about something so insignificant it's making them, and Romney's campaign, look even worse. He had a golden opportunity but flubbed it. (It was in the transcript, she didn't make that up). Key words are underlined -- and they're false assumptions you're making. She didn't try to back Obama up -- she was forced to act because Romney was hung up on a semantic point and not getting off it. So, she DID back Obama up (didn't try, she did) but in this case it was because Obama technically was correct and Romney, technically, was not. (Edit: forgot to underline them... oops!) She only rescued Obama in the minds of people who don't understand the issue. Absolutely correct. And I expect Romney to handle the issue much better in round 3.

Conditioning. Preparing us for what's to come. Despite the US denying any Chinese fleet activity in the Pacific, over 200 reports from commercial vessels verify the fleet is indeed stationed alarmingly close to the California coast. Something is happening.

...To fight a hostile extraterrestrial threat. And it begins. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/09/17/ufo-war-chinese-and-us-navy-off-san-francisco/ 64 days and counting. We've all been warned, but no one is listening.

If that's a deciding factor for you, how are you going to decide between the two? Honest question.

No, Obama definitely knew what he said, he knew Candy had the transcript at the ready. The answer lies within your original post.

This is such a disingenuous reinvention of history. I know it's been the talking point for so long now that it's been elevated to "fact" in the talk radio world, but it's just not reality.

You could be right -- while watching it my take was he just wanted to move on because he already thought he got Romney with his "check the transcript" line but Romney plowed over it. I thought Obama was thinking, "I just scored, move on" and then was astounded and delighted when Romney kept on it. That was just my live reaction to it.

There's a difference, it's a fine line, but still a difference. In the Libya situation, Romney was baiting the President and not moving forward until he got an answer. Obama even tried to let him off the hook by telling him to proceed (which I took as move on, others have took as "walk into the trap") but Mitt wasn't letting go. Candy had to speak up because she was there and to keep the debate moving forward. Agreed.

Everything you say up to the underline part I agree with. The underline part is where you and the other conservatives in this thread are making an erroneous leap. Romney made a mistake and what should have been a slam dunk he fumbled by choosing to try to trap the President. Candy did not side with Obama, she sided with the facts of the issue. And, immediately afterwards, she made the point Romney SHOULD have made. The blame is on Romney for messing up what should have been an easy slam.

:lol: God bless his angry heart.

Dude, you know I love you, but come on. She was THERE in the Rose Garden that day and knew Mitt was wrong, of course she should have spoken up. Mitt was (unknowingly or not) completely misrepresenting and trying to paint the President as liar on stage -- she has every right and dare I say a responsibility to speak up in that instance. Candy wasn't out of line in any way shape or form. Also, everyone saying she admitted she was wrong is showing their unbelievable bias -- she never said she was wrong, she CLARIFIED her point and made the point Romney was trying to make. Yes, there has been an unbelievable fumbling of the Libya situation on part of the White House, which she said, but the point Mitt chose to make was wrong and she called him out on it. It's not her fault Mitt made a mistake. The denial in this thread by conservatives is ASTOUNDING. Yes, I'm looking at you Doc, LA, 3rding. Choosing to focus on covering up for Mitt's error rather than focusing on what's really at issue here (the White House's handling of the attack) is as bad as the liberals pretending that the Mitt's poor performance on Libya in the debate vindicates Obama. Point of fact, Romney got caught in a semantic bear trap -- he walked into it himself. That's on him, not on Candy and not on Obama. Frankly, both him and Paul Ryan looked horrifyingly unprepared on issues of foreign policy. I may agree with them on (elements) of their economic policy, but they are absolutely terrifyingly wrong on matters of foreign policy as evidenced by the debates.

Without question ... but it doesn't make the reactions any less entertaining for idiots like myself

Pretty much the entire thing from soup to nuts. Had I been around last night I would have had my own bullsh*t to contribute. But since I wasn't, I can just sit back and enjoy. Only 65 days to go!

This thread has reached epic levels on the bullsh*t meter. I love it.

Probably. But only if the Romney campaign wanted to make an issue of it. Personally I doubt they would because it's clearly a joke -- and would draw attention to the fact that they haven't said anything about specifics thus far other than wait until after the election. It's lose lose. They're better off letting it go (in my uninformed opinion of course).

Well played, sir. Well played. This is why I need a good editor.

I always find you funny.

Just the ones who didn't fit on the mothership -- but they're on their way back. I think they're rounding Saturn right about now. 2 months away.... Dammit. I've said too much.

True -- but only if I win the wrestling match against said women. I usually lose. By a lot.

...But that's where the aliens live?
