>>> in washington today, conservatives are gathering. it's a strong focus on not social issues today. paul ryan and former secretary of education bill bennett drew enthusiastic applause as they criticized the administration's handling of the embassy attacks.
>> we know who america is dealing with in these attacks. they are extremists who operate by violence and intimidation. and the least equivocation or mixed signal only makes them bolder.
>> in the midst of this, there was a voice. one of mitt romney . it's disgraceful. the obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions. but to sympathize with those who wage the attacks. mitt romney .
>> that was bill bennett reading the statement that governor romney released. it's been criticized by republicans. and now it seems as we end the week several days after the statement, at least some portions of that party either trying to justify that statement or rally around governor romney .
>> well, i think he's in a pretty difficult position if you consider the last few days of this. i think a lot of people thought if he had waited a few days this is a full blown international crisis . if this was something that they let play out a bit, then there might have been room for some criticism to go so immediately to politics landed him in trouble.
>> they talk a lot about social issues pertaining to the elections. now it's all about foreign policy . they like the rest of american voters i believe out there still waiting to hear some specifics from governor romney especially given one of his foreign policy advisors said in an article today that the attacks would not have happened under president romney .
>> here today they're trying to rally social conservative activists. paul ryan was here today talking about the moral clarity on foreign policy , also the discussion about religious freedom and him being a catholic. that's one big issue that's a component of the activist space that they do need to show up at the polls this november.
>> you talk about him being a catholic at least one organization criticizing his speech today. supporters of the president saying under the moral values that the vice presidential nominee espouses it certainly would think that they would require more help to the poor. at least that's pa port of the criticism. they say that the sorely lacking when you look at his budget plan and the things he's willing to cut to help the neediest people.
>> that was one interesting part of the speech, i thought him mentioning the 15% poverty. catholics are pretty split on this issue. they're very staunchly anti- abortion rights . but very staunchly in favor of helping the poor. and we also saw catholics come out and criticize the ryan budget for the broad based cuts. now, of course, he would argue it has to start somewhere. it is the other side of this that you do rarely
