Watch the fun! New Obama PAC ad uses all the other Rethugs against Romney.




http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/gop-anti-bain-quotes-ad-pro-obama-super/story?id=16405350#.T7vTxu33DdK

One day after President Barack Obama vowed to attack Mitt Romney's private equity record through to November, a super PAC supporting his reelection unleashed a new ad that enlists the former Massachusetts governor's erstwhile primary rivals to do just that.

There's Newt Gingrich, lumping Romney in with financiers who "loot companies, leave behind broken families, broken towns, people on unemployment." Here's Rick Perry, hitting those who "wait until they see a distressed company and then they swoop in and you know pick the carcass clean and then fly away." Jon Huntsman, seizing on Romney's out-of-context quote that he likes to fire people? Sure. Why not? Didn't get it the first time? Here's Perry weighing in against "vulture capitalists." John Brabender, Rick Santorum's chief strategist, also criticizes Romney.

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has a cameo taken from a Fox News Channel appearance in which she calls on Romney to substantiate his claim to have created 100,000 jobs while at Bain Capital. "That's fair, that's not negative campaigning," she says. "That's fair to get a candidate to be held accountable."

More of this. We honestly don't need to do anything other than not be afraid to use their own words and quotes and clips and videos against them. Throw everything they say back at them many times over and it will become comically obvious to everyone.

I guess now we'll have to see if Republickers and outlier Democrats are outraged at this ad as well.

In spite of his best efforts Booker (Whore) didn't give them anything like this to beat the President with.
