It seems to be that the President and his administration are trying to distort facts about American deaths in Benghazi to try and avoid losing an election. I still don't think I can stomach voting for either one of these guys but at least lets admit this whole process is one big stinker.

Would you mind elaborating on this please? I keep hearing this argument pop up from the right and it doesn't make any sense to me.

Conservatives will continue to promote the False Equivalency™ meme so as to sleep at night as registered Republicans. It's simply a survival tactic. And I'm tired of hearing it.

Sununu basically ostracized those voters by insulting one of their heroes. Colin Powell has been one of leading moderate Republicans that the centrists have admired for decades. Bush and his flying monkeys threw Powell under the bus because of his moderate positions, for which these undecided voters have never forgiven Bush. So now, Sununu adds insult to injury by also throwing Powell under the bus. I know why Sununu did it, to appease the teabagger base. But that voting block was already locked up. Romney needs the moderate centrist undecided voter. WTF was Sununu thinking? Yet another reason to not vote for Romney. He surrounds himself with idiots and morons. Imagine a Romney administration filled with these jerks. *shudder*
