New Romney Ad Slams Obama Attacks, Asks ‘Whatever Happened to Hope and Change?’

The Romney campaign is out with a new campaign spot hitting President Barack Obama for abandoning his “hope and change” campaign mantra in favor of a barrage of negative ads against Mitt Romney.
Released Sunday amid a fresh wave of controversy over Romney’s time at Bain Capital, the 30-second ad is composed entirely of clips of journalists criticizing the tone of Obama’s campaign. It ends with CBS News’ Bob Schieffer asking, “Whatever happened to hope and change?”
According to Politico, Schieffer was “shocked” to find himself in the Romney ad.
“That was a question that I posed to David Axelrod — not a statement,” he explained. “I have no affiliation with the Romney campaign. This was done without our permission.”
Noting the “precarious” position of an “independent” journalist, Politico continues, Schieffer attempted to distance himself from the commercial.
“I‘m sure I’ll get some blowback,” he concluded.

But that would require the gov’t staying OUT of our business and they are getting more INTO it every day.
SAWBUCK – I think Romney should offer to show his tax records and such on the BAIN subject only if Obama agrees to show his ORIGINAL and OFFICIAL birth certificate.
Then ask why the gov’t offers tax breaks to corporations that build plants and hire workers overseas – thus outsourcing job from America completely – if he has such a problem with BAIN supposedly outsourcing jobs here INSIDE America.
But then again, I think anyone who even RUNS for an office at ANY level should have to show any/all public/private records including MEDICAL.

Posted on July 15, 2012 at 8:02pmThis is the problem when the GOP picks the same type of candidate every election. Romney will not defeat Obama as Romney only has the support of 90% of the Republicans (blind Republicans) if that many. He does not have the Independents, Paul supporters, Youth or the disenfranchised Democrats (they will do like all of you and hold their nose, only for Obama). Paul would have brought all those voting blocks to the table and defeated Obama by a landslide, but all of you had to listen to the establishment reporters from all the media tell you who to vote for. Another four years will be on all your shoulders, so do not try to blame anyone but yourselves. Maybe after four more, you will all listen a little closer to all of us who have woke up to the establishments plans over the last 100 years. Maybe you will not be so quick to call us Paulbots and Paultards. We ar supporters of Liberty and Paul was a catalyst. We are taking over the GOP and we will win in the long run despite ignorance. We will not shrink into the shadows, we will fight to our deaths to regain the liberty that has been taken away from us by progressives from both sides of the aisle.

“The sanctions imposed on our country are the most severe and strictest sanctions ever imposed on a country,” Mr. Ahmadinejad said during a meeting with Intelligence Ministry officials in Tehran, reported by Iranian news services. “But the enemies’ assumption that they can put Iran in a weak position through these sanctions is false and is the result of their materialistic calculations.”
Mr. Ahmadinejad also said Iran should turn the sanctions into an “opportunity to eliminate the country’s current reliance on oil revenue and take away from the enemy the use of oil as a weapon for imposing sanctions.”
Iran relies on oil exports for 80 percent of its national budget. By some industry calculations, Iranian oil exports have already fallen by 40 percent so far this year, and the country is losing billions of dollars a month it had not anticipated.
Oil industry experts say Iran’s predicament has worsened substantially because of the new European oil embargo, imposed on Sunday, and American measures imposed on Friday that penalize buyers of Iranian oil.

Posted on July 16, 2012 at 7:59amAll political ads are calculated to get maximum effect. They are focus group tested and professionally written/produced to ge the desired result. I’m very comfortable with this ad and others that the Romney camp have produced. He will get tough when he needs to and be softer when he needs to. It is still very early in the presidential race and obama is spending way more $ than he is getting in. Romney is saving his ammo for when the real fight starts. After seeing Romney overcome so many opponants in the primaries I have to trust he knows what he is doing. So, in spite of the many negative comments on this site, and I happen to believe many are from obama trolls, I think the war against obama is going as it should.

And let’s not even talk about Fast & Furious. There are so very many more and you can also make the case that when Romney was at Bain he at least was using private funds. Obama has lost billions OF YOUR MONEY, from Solyndra and all those “Green” jobs to all the stimulus money that was wasted. And we have not even talked about all the money that is going to be lost under Obamacare if it is not repealed. There is much to attack Obama on.

Posted on July 15, 2012 at 4:34pmWhat? ….You don’t think Romney can win spenmding a week sipping ice tea at his Winnepesaki lake house…giving ONE speech to the NAACP…and then hitting the lakeside lawn chair for another 5 days like Thurston Howell the 4th ?…..Folks this is the era of AFFIRMATIVE ACTION….Just like Wendell Willkie openly expressed the noble virtue of losing rather than severly challenge FDR in the midst of War…The number one goal of people like Bush, McCain, Hatch, Judge Roberts, Romney, ….is to protect the First black President from failure…. go easy on him and tred lightly on his record…because more important than winning this election is faking the historical image of success for the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT. As Wilkie said..,.“ I would rather lose in a cause that I know some day will triumph” … Romney believes some future day affirnmative action will be a triumphant success and so it is worth losing for it today.

Posted on July 15, 2012 at 7:55pmI disagree. Most blacks I encounter are very defensive and any slight to them or their causes (like free stuff and cushy government jobs) invokes absolute outrage by that entire part of our citizenry. I think Romney is smart to go soft at first so that he’ll be heard by those who still maintain the capacity to listen, and then he can go apesheet towards the end.

Posted on July 15, 2012 at 4:23pmNow that America has been made aware that Obama’s big fundraiser, Jonathan Lavine, is really the person who was on the board of Bain when jobs were outsourced, it makes Obama’s lies and thuggish tactics even more hypocritical.
Regarding the “Hope and Change” – There never was any real “Hope and Change” coming from the Serial Liar, anti-American Obama. His cult following are all he has left. He laughs at those who continue to follow him, despite his failed Presidency and damage to our country.

Somehow though, knowing Soros and Obama on the same team, they are confident due to having one or more aces up their sleeves. This election is going to make the term UGLY, look nice by the time its done.

Posted on July 15, 2012 at 3:47pmEvery election we hold fast to the establishment progressive paradigm setup by the two colluding main stay parties.
Report Post »Every time we listen to the argument that “the vote for someone not establishment is a vote for the worse of the two”. Sorry, not this time.
Ron Paul supporters are united and passionate. The argument is correct, with out the votes of the supporters of Paul, Obama WILL win. Everyone knows this, and you are being told the truth by Paul supporters that they will be casting their votes for him regardless of the tiring threat of another Obama Presidency. Knowing this then, you better start believing, and believing fast, that a vote for Romney is a vote for Obama. Passion counts, the Paul supporters are passionate about their guy and are going to vote for him.
I’m telling all true Independents and Republicans to vote Paul, stop thinking you will sway Paul supporters into voting for anyone else. You won’t. If we really don’t want another Obama Presidency, it’s up to the Romney supporters to recognize this and do the right thing. The ball is in their court, because everyone knows where Paul supporters stand. If Obama wins it’s not because of Paul supporters, it’s because you think that theirs a choice between Obama and Romney.
Romney will overturn Obamacare? No he won’t. He’ll water it down in a perfect example of the Overton Window. It’s a lame argument anyway.
What I want to know is, will Romney overturn the Patriot Act and the NDAA. That‘s what’s i

If anyone really hears what he has to say about the defense of this country they would not want him as our president. Who ever is chosen to run against Obama will need all the support he can get as right now this country loves a good liar and that needs to change before November. Insulting anyone other than Ron Paul will not help you or this country.

Report Post »In the Primaries Ron Paul garnered @ 2m votes–less than Romney–9.8m +, Santorum, 4m, Gingrich 2.7m. So I SERIOUSLY doubt there are the 10-20-30m Paul voters like what you hear from the paulbots on this site. Of that number I suspect at least 50% will vote for Romney. I expect some pushback from the “Usual Gang of Idiots” but I doubt they will be able to come of with anything substantive–just annecdotal. I guess they are to be pitied: their politial savior defeated before he even started, and we are going to be getting all kinds of posts to ‘write in paul’.
