2012 The First of Many
Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 3:16 PM
Here's the first internet-only Obama ad to hit Romney on his 47% comments. I imagine there will be many, many more in the coming days, including some TV spots probably popping up in the immediate future. It'll take a while longer for these ads to come around, remember, because the Obama campaign is probably sitting on a bunch of already-made ads that they were already planning to dump between now and election day. Creating new ads from new scandals will take a little bit longer.

Even if you are somehow, inexplicably, a Romney supporter, you still have to be impressed with the professionalism of the Obama team over and above your guy's pathetic effort. Couldn't Romney afford to pay some pros to handle his campaign? Weird.
2
This shouldn't take Obama's team, such as it is, more than about three hours. What are they trying to do, be "nuanced?" That's how you lose elections.

The 47% figure is the people who were going to vote for Obama before Romney said this latest stupid thing. That's probably gone up to about 60% now.
7
The ran outside of their offices in Chicago and interviewed a couple people off the street. The Bean (Cloudgate) is in the background and there's at least one Southsider with a real Chicago accent. Chicago was always in the bag for Obama anyway. But then again, Romney will probably write off all of CA. and Chi. in in his presidency anyway.

#6, I really wish there was a way we could bet $5,000 per percentage point on Obama's vote total departing from the midpoint of the range. You pay me 5 grand for every point below 54%, and I pay you 5 grand for every point over 53%. Hell, I'd even give you 2:1 odds.

@5 Deadbeats? Really? Bet your one of those "deadbeats".
Ok lets say you claim to be one of the "1%", so you make over $250k a year. How did you get there?
The old fashion way? Your parents were middle class? Ok fine, they worked for it I'm cool with that. You on the other hand, public schools, maybe a few yrs in private primary or secondary schools, Parochial I'm guessing, fucking Socialists, after all, all religions at their core are Socialists.
I'll even grant you went through the State College/University system, given your comments your about my age our State College/University system had a hell of a lot more public subsidies then today.
Kudos for graduating "SPROU" and kudos for working with what was given you.
What do you have against giving someone else's child something to work with?
Just how deeply do you fear looking the phrase "there but by the grace of god go I" in the face?
Ann Romney hit the MS lottery, she got the disease and money beyond scope. Take her down just one notch in economic level, would it have been so pretty?
If your mother had gotten MS would your family have been able to pay for your education? And don't answer that question as a child firm in the faith that your parents can always rain down manna from heaven. Answer it as an adult looking back and seeing what FDR, the GI bill, the Great Society actually gave you and your family.
Just as we can't and don't "individually" build the roads that we drive our cars down daily, we can't always catch ourselves when we fall. That doesn't mean we can't get up again. It certainly doesn't mean we don't.

#9, is there a point buried in there, or do you think that if you free-associate enough, someone will give a shit?

@10 & 11 your right my bad. The two of you are absolutely correct, reality is meaningless to what passes as conservatism in this country. The idea that we should walk a mile in our brother's shoes before judging him, is heretical to Christians in the US, today.
The two of you are correct we have devolved into degenerates and you stand as the proof.
