    If you actually read what was said, that's not what was said.

    But far be it from me to obstruct another liberal soup-up screed of conviction.

    Or maybe you need to read the context:

    “When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she’s safe and sound.”

    His biggest error there is not realizing Oxygen fuels fires... That's all, nothing else is fundamentally wrong with the statement... Either way, its not like he flies commercial, where the ability to open windows would be pretty (*)(*)(*)(*)ed scary...

    My conservative friends will not like this.


    Yes... many aircraft windows DO open... depending on the pressure lock. Romney, an owner of aircraft is unaware of this, or believes such a craft is not necessary for his wifes travel. Ace... you are a pilot sir. I was married to a pilot. Cahmaaaaaan. No... furreally doh... cahmaaaaaan.

    Electrical fire. Oxygen is not your friend. Feeding the fire is not a good idea. Screen doors aren't a good idea on a submarine either. Even if there is a fire.

    If I required my conservative president to be brilliant... well... I wouldn't vote. He is an elitist who reacts to circumstance, with a heavy democratic record. Bush spent like a drunken sailor. Bush began the spending spree which Obama inhereted and ran with. (*)(*)(*)(*) dishonesty. That isn't what I do. They all become the same guy... and Romney's roots are where they are. Mass R is Texas D. Don't be liberals... he is not the messiah because he could replace what you see as the anti-Christ. Romney is not a Reagan. The democratic party did not leave him... he felt he could be "the same guy" and push his own agenda in a limited capacity to the R congress.

    I will vote against Obama, because I disagree more with him than Mitt Romney does.

    Know your place. The end.

    Did Romney cite the aircraft his wife was in at the time?

    Seeing how many people have absolutely no concept of physics when it comes to 9/11, I think I will give Romney a pass on this. At least he is not flying to 57 States.

    Oh dear, now you're desperately trying to claim Tina Fey made the claim of foreign policy experience being dependant upon how close two unpopulated land masses are to each other even though Sarah Palin made those statements and she isn't even near those land masses, let alone that those land masses relate in any way to foreign policy experience.

    Sorry, desperately trying to dismiss the idiocy of Palin's claims by trying to refute a parody isn't giving you an argument. Nor is desperately trying to compare windows Romney wasn't even speaking about to defend his ignorance magically mean he was right.

    Like I said, conservatives proving my point.

    BFD. With all due respect, this is the kind of piddly assed crap we get from conservatives.

    There are enough valid criticisms of Romney that we don't have to stoop to the kind of BS nonsense we see from our conservative friends all the time.

    I am not sure which is more dumb, rolling down a window at 33,000 feet or using oxygen to fight fires.

    Let me field this one.

    Liberals extrapolating comments like this where Romney was clearly concerned about his wife suffering smoke inhalation when a more efficient way to clear the cabin of smoke would have been nice.

    I like you, but that's not good enough, oxygen fuels fires, so opening windows is a bad idea, we should just agree it wasn't the greatest of statements, but we should be fighting over the concept this is somehow important or even relevant to the situation on the ground in America... How does this effect job numbers? How does this garbage ease ME tensions? How does this crap even come close to being news?

    Perhaps you should ask yourself that question in the underground railroad thread you were all too happy to jump in and start bashing the First Lady.

    This reminds me of the smear against Bush senior, that he was so out of touch he'd never seem a supermarket scanner before...which turned out to be a lie.

    This is more of the same. Same old leftist horse crap!

    I went there, but will you have the courage and necessary conviction to follow through?

    I share your concern since we already have a POTUS who claimed we have 58 states and the US Constitution was written 2,000 yrs ago.....

    Come to think of it, I'll take the dude who doesn't understand the building/structure of airplanes since it's not his job to build them anyway like we expect the POTUS to know the facts and reality of this country and it's history.......
