Aside from the wealthy who hope he will foist all the tax burden to the "little people" and the religious nutcases that actually believe he will be able to make abortion illegal, who would vote for this weirdo?

The things he says every day baffle me. Where are his handlers? He comes across stiff, uninformed, without any sincere understanding or empathy for the average American. What do people see in him? I don't get it but then I consider myself a fairly well-informed critical thinker. That must be my problem.

steroids? Mitt has a rep for not being liked but, hey, he's not President Obama.

Although he wants to be.

but are you allowed to lift the "I'm so-and-so, and I approve this message" sounder off another commercial and attach it to a commercial that obviously they wouldn't approve of? I thought that phrase was intended to separate legitimate campaign commercials from 3rd party groups, or in this case, opposition groups.

It's not produced by the candidate (in our case President Obama)...thus all that's required is a visual identification that is done at the end of the spot.

It's all kosher and well played!

Personally, I think Romney comes off as a condescending @**hole in the original ad. I like how the DNC is killing him with his own words.

Bravo

Much as I enjoyed the ad, that little "I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message" at the end was very misleading.

LOL.

How in the hell was this guy considered to be the reasonable, electable candidate for the GOP? Oh yeah, everybody else was insane. This is what has become of the "party of ideas."
