2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)From the Romney "people", "Toons for Romney" = idiocy you have to see to believe. [View all]
From the "How Stupid Do These People Think We Are?" Department;
The Romney campaign is getting roasted in editorial cartoons almost since its inception so out pops MittFitts.com: "Toons for Romney is a grassroots effort to support the candidacy of Governor Mitt Romney for President in 2012."
First some examples from people who are working to get Romney elected:




Here is the entire gallery: http://mittfitts.com/mittfitts-cartoon-gallery/
Now the site's owners state that they are an entirely 'grassroots' campaign with 'no' affiliation to the Romney campaign. The site has high expensive production value, sophisticated lay out and archeticture, elaborate RSS feeds, elaborate guest tracking, sophisticated legal advise, professional comic book artists formerly working for DC Comics and now illustrating for the LDS Church.
They purport to be 'grassroots' with no connection to the Romney campaign. All net proceeds from the site go to "are donated to the Romney for President campaign or affiliated Political Action Committees."
Right. No affilitation with the campaign.
In any case two mind numbing alternatives.
The first is that this is (98% probability) the off shoot of one of their PACs brainstorming sessions with their PR/Advertising people and they think that this kind of crappola is the kind of stuff that is going to get any traction with the American public at all.
The other is that this is (2% probability) the result of a bunch of guys from Romney's actual 'grass roots' campaign getting together.
Either possibility and the actual exeuction of the site is nauseating in either interpretation, ridiculous in their conception, profoundly idiotic in their substance, devoid of any humor at any point and if widely distributed absolutely counter productive to getting normal Americans to support their candidate.
Just how stupid do they think the American Public is?
