New Union Ad: Romney Doesn’t Even Appreciate Garbage Man — Flashback: When Romney Worked as Trash Collector During Gov. Campaign

October 2, 2012 at 2:42pm

In reply to TRILO.

I am an ENGINEER (not a director / marketer) but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once:

We are rural Indiana, and in our county, there are two little private firms that compete for trash pickup. Non-union, sons and daughters run the business, uncles drive the trucks, etc.. It is a BARGIN to, and they do a GREAT job, whomever you choose (50 dollars / months or 64 dollars every 3 months).

I say get them to do “real story” type 1 minute flms, how they are able to run their own business. Have Romney help them for a day, out of the media eye. They ask, “are you qualified”. He laughs, “not as much as you, but….” then he shows them that picture of him helping do trash. They laugh, “your hired”. He helps for a day. End with a quote from the owner, “I’m not just picking up trash, I’m buiding a business. Something I can give to my children.” Then end with fade out on Mitt, not saying anything, just proud, concerned, reflective (think about his own legacy).

End with simple slogan on a black screen.

“You build America. Mitt is ready to Help.”

fade to black….

Find picture after picture of Romney since he was 9. Lemonade stand (especially), volunteering, cleaning, making pizza, nailing a board…. find a story, make a video.

“You build America. Mitt is ready to Help.”

nothing but positive. He has worked, respects work, wants to help you work, work is good for the soul, lets build America!

I don’t remember which philosopher it was that I studied back in college who reasoned that one of the tests for determining whether something is right or wrong, good or bad, healthy or unhealthy… was to consider if that thing, action, or culture became the vast majority or norm, would that be good? Conversely, if it did not exist, would things generally be better or worse, safer or more dangerous?

That is a long way to say: if these types of places all burnt down while everyone was inside, fund raising with their American Flag g-strings, America would be a better place.

Hey! Leave Kentucky out of this – lol
Genealogists’ Shock Claim: Obama Is Likely a Descendant of the First American Slave (Through His Mother!)

In reply to Seth Patriot.

Let me see if I get this straight… We can’t get a real look at his Birth Certificate, or his school transcripts, and so forth – but suddenly, less than 100 days before the election, we now KNOW he is a DIRECT DESCENDENT of the first slave? Good thing, Mr. Obama, he wasn’t a GAY slave!
Did Portman Just Let Slip That He’s Being Vetted for Romney’s Veep?

GOP List for Repeating McCain Lackluster effort of 2008:

Very White and Male? Check

Super Safe and boring? Check

Worked for Bush? Check

Same EXACT emphasis on Jobs and Bush tax cuts? Check

Does ANYONE at the GOP ever pay attention? It’s no wonder that Tea Party’s and Libertarians and Independents are springing up. It may turn out that what we SHOULD have done over the last decade is get rid of the GOP instead of fight the Dems in order to save this country.
‘Dr. Doom’: The Global Economic Storm I Predicted Is on Its Way

In reply to StacyR.

FEWL and a few others were exactly right in their response:

The very beauty and success of this country lies with the wisdom born of and proximity to an escape from tyranny: that we have an inherent right given to us by a Creator to PURSUE happiness – NOT be given happiness (a right to Health Care, Home, Food…) It is the freedom to pursue leads to a glorious and mutual striving and a corporate achievement that cannot be rivaled. We now have generations that show us, if you just GIVE the donkey the carrot, they quit running. They quit inventing. They quit working. they quit believing. They spiral into a life devoid of dreams and goals. They nurture a habit of idle time, and seek to soak away their lack of fulfillment in a bottle or joint.

I am NOT saying that a revolution may not be needed; but I would say that the revolution would be to restore limited government and freedom (get back to the principles of the Constitution and Amendments that properly establish a uniform application of the Bill of Rights).
‘Not Fair to Be White’: See the Unbelievable New Campaign Sponsored by the University of Minnesota-Duluth

In reply to ghostsouls.

I think EVERY “white” person should immediately transfer to another college. THEN see what happens. I wonder if their “white guilt” stems from an even deeper guilt: the privileged life of a tenured professor who gets 100K / year for sitting around and pontificating while having TA’s grade papers for half the hours per year a construction worker works. I know of this “white guilt” first hand, the best friend of a girl I dated for a year majored in “African Studies”, and she was white as snow. Even discussions about where we were all going to eat ended up about reparations.
No More Big Gulps: New York City to Ban Sale of Large Sodas & Sugared Drinks

May 31, 2012 at 3:04pm

In reply to NeoMouser.

Why 16 ounces? Can you buy two of them to get 32 ounces and then pour them into your own cup? Would you be arrested? Why are drinks in restaurants exempt? Isn’t sitting down to drink a soda at a restaurant versus burning the calories to get your own soda even worse? Why are milkshakes exempt but not flavored coffees? What about Pepsi Next, it has sugar, but not as much – so, can you get a 32 ounce Pepsi Next, 16 ounce Pepsi, 48 ounce Coke Zero, and so on? Will the Police Officers who have to enforce this be outlawed from eating donuts? At least you DON’T have to have a photo ID – lol
‘Why Are You Traveling With Stormtroopers’: Protestors and Supporters of Rep. Allen West Clash at Town Hall

May 31, 2012 at 2:23pm

This breaks my heart. Nothing even about Mr. West. My father was a WWII veteran, lost his brother there at Iwo Jima; and to see the way my peers, and younger, obnoxious, disrespectful, snobby, elitist career college English majors berate and harass until they get a push-back and then claim injury…”did you get that….did you see that?…don’t taze me bro.” our society is going to hell. I am sorry to all those who fought for this country for the way we followed up the greatest generation with a society of entitled, arrogant ******.
Holder Defends Suing States Over Voter ID Laws Because They Hurt ‘Minorities, Young People, Seniors’

May 30, 2012 at 2:27pm

The Pink(o) Elephant in the room: They are using OUR tax dollars to sue OURSELVES – while the country is FLAT BROKE. This is INSANE!!!!

This is NOT what the Founding Fathers had in mind – in fact, it is the VERY THING they warned and tried to prevent: a CENTRAL GOVERNMENT whose goals and objectives are to SUBVERT the State’s power versus support their independence; and a government with enough POWER to do so!
