Check your ego - no one said it was about you.
It seems you don't even fully read the **** you link to.

Right, 'cause clearly the central issue in this report is "roll down" vs "open". That's the real story. The rest is just a smoke screen. Which could easily be cleared up if we could open windows on airplanes. And space shuttles. I mean, it's possible as long as they only do it at certain altitudes, right?

The very fact that anyone is trying to support Mitt on this is laughable.

He wasn't supporting him, he was defending him - a subtle, but unimportant difference.

Yawper, yes cabin air pressure is not required at all altitudes, yet required at the altitudes planes normally fly…. Oh yes let us have windows that will open! Terrorists will rejoyce! And while we are at it, I think our guys on submarines need screen doors to catch a fresh breath of air! How the F*ck can anyone defend this moron on his ideas for better aviation or his plans forhealthcare reform… oh wait he won't tell us…. immigration… oh wait he won't tell us. Tax reform…. oh wait, he won't tell us.
Bet they are just as good as opening windows on airplanes!

In the echo chamber that is the internet, yes, it is.

I'm with Reginald on this. It's stupid to focus on offhand BS like this when there are so many real, substantive, terrifying reasons Romney shouldn't be President. Being considered a gaffe-prone moron never stopped Bush Jr. from being elected.

Yawper....my ego is just fine, thanks.

But, I am beginning to wonder why you feel you need to defend someone who thinks having widows that "OPEN" on airplanes would be a good idea.

Mitt Romney wonders why lakes don't slope to make it easier for water skiing.

"Mitt Romney wonders why lakes don't slope to make it easier for water skiing."

LOL!

Yawper...just answer this simple question (or do what the rest of Mitt's followers on here do, post and run away like cowards)
Do you agree with Mitt that window's should "open" on airplanes?

Romney wonders just how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop!

For those who fail to read an entire thread before posting to it I stated previously I'm not advocating anything about aircraft windows, but it's NOT impossible to make them functional below pressurization levels for commercial aircraft and most GAA have windows that open.

I've posted it before in previous threads and I'll post it again - I'm not a Republican. I'm a left-leaning Independent and I (like many others) hate the way both sides are behaving. The distortion through a bull**** headline and pile-on snark about Romney's actual comment is a prime example of why so many are fed up with it all.

How do the GAA windows operate. I was curious about that, but couldn't find the info.

At any rate, the "official" word now is that Mitt was only joking. Just like Madonna! They were both just like totally being ironic, y'all. It's everyone except Mitt and Madonna who are stupid.

FWIW on many commercial aircraft the cargo holds aren't pressurized at altitude even though the passenger cabin is.

How do the GAA windows operate.

They are usually sliders or pop-outs





btw, many commercial aircraft have cockpit windows that can be opened and could be opened during non-pressurized flight if FAA regulations permitted it

Yes Yawper so let's put them on all the windows so all a terroristhas to do is open them at 35,000 feet.


Not to mention, they way to make a fire worse is introducing more oxygen to it.

Terrorists really have little trouble doing whatever they want to do. The good ones are just like hackers - always one step ahead of security.

They've even been known to use pressure triggers that set off bombs when an aircraft cabin reaches a certain pressure level, so damned if you do, damned if you don't.

If you're that concerned I guess all exit doors, including emergency doors, should be protected from passenger access, too. Updated On: 9/28/12 at 02:50 PM

It takes more then turning a knob and pushing the window up while sitting in your seat to open an escape door. There have been people recently who have attempted it and were stopped.

Romney is a dumb ass and you are going out of your way to give creedence to and justify his dumb ass statement. Shouldn't your energies be put to better use?

[Yawper]

Shouldn't yours? Don't you realize attacks like this mocking Romney are just as bad and counterproductive as the righties' attacks on Obama?
