Honest question to Romney supporters: after seeing this video, how could you possibly still vote for him?

Originally posted by twhiteheadObama abandoned four American diplomats to die and lied about that. And you don't care.
My impression is that for republicans, lying is part of the culture and expected of their candidates. They seem to revel in it.
Funny - we talk about issues and principles, and you talk about us. And attack us. Well, you'll get that revenge on me that Obama wants for you tomorrow.
Very presidential of him, and very high-minded of you.

Originally posted by vivifyIt does travel fast, doesn't it? In fact, did you know that we can now broadcast video images in real time halfway around the world to the White House? And the people that occupy the White House can know when our diplomats are being attacked, and can launch a rescue mission to save them?
Yeah, it's not like we live in age where information travels quickly around the world or anything.
Oh...wait...we can't do all of that It takes brave men who love America to do that.

Originally posted by vivifyIs it a lie when you know that an American embassy is under a coordinated, planned terrorist attack, and you tell the American people (and the father of one of the dead) that the attack was based on an anti-Muslim video?
It's a lie, when you continue using information you know is wrong, like Romney did.

Originally posted by sasquatch672Yes. However, it would be a lie that Obama has nothing to gain from. There's no benefit for Obama; this must mean there was an honest mix-up somewhere.

Romney lied for personal gain, in the form of votes. This wasn't a mix-up, but a lie; the difference in these scenerios, is that one is obviously using deception to further his own goals, the other is not.
