2. Should break it up into 30 second ads for TV
Sat Oct 13, 2012, 10:32 AM
Oct 2012

These "testimonials" should be used in 30 second ads using 1 candidate in each ad. There are a lot of voters who supported newt, santorum, paul, etc that would really react to these. Kinda run with a tag line like "it was true then and it is even more true now - don't be fooled by Romney." Maybe insert a text scroll on the bottom running through romney flip-flops as the testimonial is given.

It may just convince those folks to stay home or to just not vote for romney on e-day. I think it's important to let repubs know that they are not obligated to vote for romney. They can send a message to their party. They can vote for their local repukes but leave the prez blank. Talk about an eye opener when results come in and you see the local repubs getting lots of votes but romney getting stiffed...

7. I watch this and wonder how RMoney actually became the nominee

Oct 2012

if this many Repubs call him a liar, how is it that the base is buying his BS? I also don't understand how he can be doing so well in the polls because people didn't like Mittens until he had the nomination. It's a matter of holding their noses. I can't believe that independents and undecideds would vote for this guy.

they are just bad at what they do, I'm sorry.

This is the kind of direct damage we need to hit them with.

Mitt Romney remains the most absurd nominee for a major party in the course of my lifetime - W is the only other one that is close.

And even W didn't have the baggage that Romney has.

If the Obama campaign can't crush him under the weight of his baggage, they've been wasting our time.

You should post the link to this video in the Discussion Forum.
It needs to have a broader audience and go viral.

The GOP is counting on hatred of Obama to catapult a Wall Street shark into the White House.

34. Dug up an old Maddow clip from 3-30-12.
Sun Oct 14, 2012, 08:28 AM
Oct 2012

It runs a bit long (16 min), but if you skip to minute 7, 15 sec and view it thru min 11, 45 sec, you see something that Maddow & co call "The Mitt Romney Surrogate Problem". All kinds of big GOP endorsers are shown giving Mitt tepid or harmful endorsements.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/vp/46911759#46911759

I also like the clip of Newt calling Ryan's 'Kill Medicare' budget plan 'Right-Wing Social Engineering', and the subsequent clip of Newt saying 'anyone who quotes me on that is lying'. I can't find those clips, but they're memorable.

This compilation is yet more evidence that our political parties, at least one of them, no longer have any power what so ever and are merely puppets of the corporate controllers. We no longer live in a democracy, we live in a corporatocracy. The coup occurred when Bush was not elected by a democratic vote but was appointed by the court. I will never forgive my fellow democrats, those leaders of our party, who rolled over in 2000 and let this coup stand. Again I think the republicans are wholly owned corporate subsidiaries of the multinational corporations and the democrats are not yet quite 100% controlled. Re-elect Obama and pack the congress with people who will stop corporatism and bring us back to democracy. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

WHY IS THIS AD NOT PLAYING MORE??????

Even if its too long, trim it down and cut some of the clips out. We can have a nice minute long effective Ad. WTF??? Seriously, Get on this for Petes sake!

So frustrating.

Sat Oct 13, 2012, 01:21 PM

Question is why hasn't the Obama campaign already got this thing running on TV?
When your own squad calls you a fraud, you're toast.

I never had any worries about the election once these guys were put up as the opposition.
And the fact that none of 'em could get past a waffler like Romney guaranteed me that Obama's 2nd term is in the bag.
I wrote it here on October 10th, Obama will win in a LANDSLIDE.
20% lead of Popular Vote. Minimum 15%.

Romney's a clown along with his sidekick Ryan.
