HaHa! Anyone see the Mitt Romney t.v. ad?

[techs]

D*mn! Just saw ol' Mitts t.v. ad, probably because I live in the N.E. and the New Hampshire primary is coming up. In the ad Mitt Romney RIPS the Republicans. I mean he RIPS them.
Mitt doesn't stand a chance in h*ll (or whever it is bad Mormons go) but Mitt has made the most outrageous ad I have ever seen.
With Republicans like Mitt slammming his own party, put the champagne on ice for the Dems.
The only thing I could find on youtube cuts off the beginning:

They eat their own babies so it's to be expected.

Now don't go starting any Mormon rumors.

Mitt just has this little problem. He ran and built up a record as a moderate GOP Governor of a blue state. And now has totally reinvented himself and teleported himself into competing in a crowded pack of more genuine GOP characters trying to be more far right than thou. And now he is trying to emerge out of that crowded pack and failing miserably. Partly because his competitors are the genuine article and he is an reinvented illusion.

Methinks Romney would have been far smarter to compete with Giuliani for the more moderate GOP vote. But if Romney can be more acceptable to the RR and still please the GOP moderates, he could win the GOP nomination. Even if he has to buy the damn thing, he can later say I earned it.

Wood???????----we are talking plastic here or maybe silly putty. Wood is not similarly maluable.

I think that video is retarded. He continuously emphasizes that they have to stop acting like "Democrats" - when the reality is that the Republicans are not acting like democrats. The Republican's big spending streak for over eight years is because they are simply acting like republicans - their questionable morals (and i'm bringing them up in terms of hippocracy - when a senator talks about emphasizing family values and then gets caught doing what he condemns) is also a part of the definition of the party of republicans.

I think what gets to me, as a person who isn't even a democrat, is that "anything bad and currently wrong with the republicans is simply because we are acting like democrats"...which is just a stupid excuse and cop out for where the real problem lies -- which is within.

Yeah right Romney.

More like rubber, instead of glue - which bounces off me and sticks to...

The operative factor is Republican, not Mormon, silly man. 🙂 Republicans eat their babies.

Well...DUH! 😉

After all the rhetoric from the Republicans about not "flip-flopping" and "staying the course" at all costs for the past several years, it would be virtually impossible for any Republican to get anywhere actually advocating change. All the more so because it wasn't just empty rhetoric, it worked so well because it's an easy sell to the Republican base. The only way Romney could possibly talk about change was by tying the current state of the Republican party to something even more hated than change...Democrats. Of course Republicans aren't acting like Democrats, but it's a good excuse to "allow" Republicans to do what they want to do anyways.

Plus, you can't forget the first rule of Republican campaigning...never be positive, ever. This ad, without the shot at the Democrats, would be a positive, forward looking ad highlighting Romney's realistic critical assessment of the Republican party and where it needs to go. BOR-ING!
