The Pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA and the SEIU have released three Spanish-language anti-Romney ads that will run in Colorado, Nevada, and Florida — crucial swing states.

Here’s the script (in English) for the Florida ad (via BuzzFeed):
ROMNEY: You can focus on the very poor, that’s not my focus
VOTER 1 FEMALE: What about us? He’s not thinking about us.
VOTER 2 MALE: It’s easy for him to say that since he doesn’t have the same necessities as us.
VOTER 1 FEMALE: He is… just thinking about those that have made money already.
(text on screen) MITT ROMNEY MADE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LEAVING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITHOUT WORK.
ROMNEY: I’ll also tell my story: I’m also unemployed.
VOTER 2 MALE: When you are really out of work… you are worried, you don’t want to laugh or make fun of anybody.
VOTER 1 FEMALE: I feel that he should not be the person that leads this country.
(voice over) SEIU COPE is responsible for the content of this advertisement.
(text on screen) Mitt Romney: His words say it all.
But here’s something to think about: considering the fact that these three ads cost about $4 million, will the same people wringing their hands over Citizens United also complain about the overwhelming amount of union influence in the electoral process?

Posted on June 11, 2012 at 1:54pmHispanic Voters: Here’s what Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana had to say to Obama on 6/9/12 : ““Mr. President, I’ve got a message for you: The private sector is not doing well when 23 million Americans are unemployed and underemployed in this great country. This president, the private sector is so foreign to him he might need a passport to actually go visit and he might need a translator to help him talk to folks in the private sector.” Can you support a candidate who disregards the needs of this country, villifying its citizens and trying very hard to pull the wool over our eyes?

Posted on June 11, 2012 at 12:53pmOf course people are used in this country all the time to fill them with false hopes because they don’t really pay attention to politics. So they get hand-picked and promises are made. They don’t know
Report Post »why they throw their support to one candidate vs another, but they do know what they have been promised if they do. The only problem is they will feel good being singled out by a running candidate
but what will they get for it? They will see it gets them on TV, they can be heard, and they could do
that without being propositioned by a canditate. If only these folks would study and learn the political system before they vote, they wouldn’t find out later that they will get 0 for their votes. Look at what has already happened. How many dead people voted, how many street people voted, how many inidigent people voted, how many illegals voted and what changed.? Nothing.

Posted on June 11, 2012 at 12:32pmI really wish Glenn would examine Mitts life like he did Obama.
George Romney first comes from a family that practiced Polygamy much longer than the Mormon Church allowed it to be practiced. So the family only loosely cares about Church beliefs. His father also constantly criticized the Church over Blacks and the Priesthood very loudly and publicly so much so he was nearly ex-communicated (a step rarely taken for this).
In addition George Romney was friends with Saul Alinsky helping the Blacks protest in Michigan. He encouraged those he met to listen to Saul. He liked what Saul taught so much he eventually became a Communist and went to Paris (where Mitt was on his Mission as Mission President at 21 or so) Mitt translated Georges meeting and participated in it with the North Vietnamese. They came away singing the praises of Communism and how well treated the people were there. George also went to North Vietnam and came back saying we should allow them to have the South. He ran on this in his 1964 platform.
Mitt is every bit the Communist Obama is. Mitt was Georges Spokesman when not on his Mission. George only carried his own state. Tried to walk back this in 1967 but of course no one believed him.

An apology?
The US Dept of education, formed unconstitutionally in ‘79, is not only a disgrace but remains to be the highest tax we pay.
Cafeteria ‘enforcers’ have their grubby little hands in your childrens lunch bag and teachers have their grubby little hands in you childs underwear at the same time.
Students nationwide are ‘graduating’ high school with the equivalent of an eight grade education.
And the Dept of education has officially morphed into a babysitting service for lazy parents.
We must adopt states rights and dismantle this ugly monster now.
Wake up dummies.

Posted on June 11, 2012 at 10:57amGood for the Obamabots, If the Spanish folks believe this garbarge, then, I will think less of the Spanish folks. Really SEIU has a bad name with Americans. I think better of the Spanish; they know the Dems are using them as the new base of “seftdom” for these Rich elitest. The Spanish are tired of oppression, that is why they came here;not to be a slave to the Dems or the far leftists.
