Politifact calls Mitt's NH TV ad attacking Clinton "barely true"

[MethuenProgressive]

Saw this piece of crap on WMUR this morning.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/163/
Telegenic Mitt Romney, on Hillary Clinton:
"She hasn't run a corner store. She hasn't run a state. She hasn't run a city. She has never run anything."
Politifact calls his ad "barely true" - which means mostly lying.
Mitt also slips the word "internship" into his TV ad, subliminally alluding to Lewinsky.
Class act, that Mitt Romney of Utah.

1. It's running here too

It's pathetic.

2. Mitt Is Right

Hillary sucks...

I learned that at DU...


:sarcasm:

3. Romney has barely run a state

He was an absentee governor in Massachusetts who began running for president as soon as he was sworn into office.

The only way he ran Massachusetts was into the ground.

4. This ad has been shown on TV all Cable News Networks

as part of the show for the day. Simply shown --not one
host criticised the ad. some laughed. This has been there
since the last Republican Debate. Likewisee, Rudy does
his version of the ad at all town meetings.

It is a day late and a dollar short for anyone to harp on it
now. If it was damaging--the damage is done.

I was surprised that the Clinton Campaign has let Romney and
Guilliani do their best to define her in their terms and
no fighting back.

I have been warning for months the GOP are running a General
Election Campaign and will do everything thay can to smear
our Candidates now.

Kerry Campaign learned the hard way and much too late--Do not
depend on the Media. They will let lies stand.

The TV Media is what counts in an election. Most TV Media make
the Big Bucks, therefore the GOP is more a friend to their
pocketbook. TV Types prefer GOP. It is in their interest.
This is why Democratic Party has to be smart and tough
in order to get their respect.

Get this through your skull. The WAPO, NYT, Newspapers can
make corrections and very few people outside the Eastern Seaboard
will even know about it.

5. To the mittster's credit, he is pretty much right--Hillary hasn't run all

that stuff. Nor had Abraham Lincoln--to whom the pukes like to point as a founding member. Nor had Saint Ronnie, the patron saint of the pube party.
When I saw that ad, I was immediately struck by the notion that it's probably not a good idea to have run a big company, because the government of the US is nothing like a corporation--or it's not supposed to be. To try to treat it that way is one of the fatal flaws in any pube administration and they are ideologically incapable of even seeing that fact.

Mr. Romney has a fatal trait that he keeps fairly well hidden, but which blazes into flame when his control slips.
That trait is arrogance. Not even a "normal" arrogance, if there is such a thing, but a sizzling, bubbling arrogant's arrogance.
A vicious, mean thing, a bit like that of a cat and its sharp claws and teeth; so terribly dangerous to a mouse but devoid of hating a mouse, necessarily, just living in a different universe with zero empathetic coupling.
Romney has that arrogance in addition to the tendency of many politicians, regarding fellow humans as votes...and nothing else.
