If he’d a had one, he’da stepped on it…

oopsie

There are some things that , once said, can never be taken back. I think the B∅ campaign crossed that Rubicon with the pathos-rich “Romney Killed My Wife” ad.

Clearly, his campaign is being run by ignorant, inexperienced children with impulse-control issues.

Is this a real person? Whoinhell is he? Who believes stuff like that? He had years to find another job with health insurance. [plant closed in Feb. 2001*; wife died in 2006] Whatthehell?!? And this is Romney’s doing?!? rly?!?

The funnay bit?

…one of Barack Obama’s top bundlers, Jonathan Lavine, managing director at Bain, who has bundled between $100,000 and $200,000 in contributions for the 2012 Obama Victory Fund, was one of the guys running Bain when GST went belly-up.

But we’re not smart enough to know that…

    I feel sorry for the guy, for what he has done to himself.

  2. Posted August 8, 2012 at 12:38 pm |

    Claire,

    I believe the jig is up as now it has been found out that when he lost his job and his insurance, his wife and him were covered under HER insurance from her job.

    This is the Left’s version of the “Swift boat” ad.

    I hope when they stepped in this pile of crap they weren’t wearing shoes. Because this is a nice warm stinky pile.

    Tea Party RINO hunt in Kansas bags 8:
    “The targeted moderate incumbents outspent their conservative challengers, often by margins of 3-to-1 or more and received financial support from the state’s largest teachers’ union and labor groups normally aligned with Democrats.”

    As usual, the Dems are doing what they accuse us of – lying, cheating, being mean-spirited, committing election fraud and other crimes – hypocrites, small despicable people all. There are no more Scoop Jacksons or Hubert Humphrey’s in the Dem party.

    If you think it is bad now, wait until November nears.

    Here`s a prediction: When Congress comes back into session, RATz that are running for reelection this year will be AVOIDING the name OBoBo, or claiming that they had anything to do with him!!!! If——cornered by the mfcsMedia, they will claim he threatened one of their children!

    OBoBo`s campaign will be reduced to claiming that a SINGLE negative word about him is RACIST! Moosechelle will start visiting places like PAY LESS & THE DOLLAR STORE, plus touting her fav recipes for mush, cornpone & grits…..

    “Plugs” will go to Mexico City with a planeload of voter registration cards, printed in Spanish——-and get caught.

    And it won`t work………….

    This is just dumb sh*t, here. She was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer and died 2 or 3 weeks later. WTF kinda insurance would have saved her???

    Posted August 8, 2012 at 2:41 pm |

    So– wonder if she smoked? This whole story is such a pile there’s no way in hell could stage 4 cancer be mistaken for pneumonia. I guess the breast cancer story wasn’t enough. His lies about his mothers cancer and no insurance weren’t enough either. What’s next???

    This is turning into a campaign for low information voters. Best strategy would probably be to wait til 2 days before the election and smother the airwaves with all the negative ads you could dream up. Hell, anyone lacking the sense to see through ads like this is either a confirmed Obama vote or so fickle that the last thing he sees on TV is going to decide who he votes for. I just don’t think there are that many undecideds out there and what few votes either side rakes up between now and November are going to be meaningless and cost about 500k each.

    Hardly a regular Joe or Joe the Plumber.

    Condolences on losing his wife–if she was real and not a composite.

    Okay, is there a site listing all these obamanations in a single list that we can send the semi literate true believers to?

    And how did the Romney camp respond?

    “…he’d have had health care if he lived in Massachusetts.”

    “WE” are smart enough, Claire, which is why “we” don’t trust the occupier-in-chief.
    It’s those that are neutral or believe in him that aren’t smart enough. -That should be obvious.

    As was posted by Ace..

    Romney left Bain in 1999.

    GST was shut down in 2001.

    Soptic’s wife had her own health insurance through 2003.

    Now, in 2006, she was diagnosed — diagnosed! — with very late-stage cancer.

    She died 22 days after diagnosis.

    Is the argument made that Romney owed this guy another seven years worth of insurance coverage?

    And what good would it even have done? She wasn’t even diagnosed until just over three weeks before she would die.

    So the whole thing was a fraud… Chicago politics. Now who would know much about Chicago politics?

    Pure fraud, lies, and bloody-shirt-waving.

    Another day in Democrat-land!

    I was worried this might have been a head-fake to allow the left to claim the high ground, but only a few lefty press outlets have walked this back.

    The Dems are trying to scare the crap out of America as Rush has been saying for weeks. “The sky is falling” and that scum-turd Axelrod along wit the head Jezebel Valiere are laughing like hell.

    I never recall at anytime Barry begging for donations. Begging for $3. Beggin people to like dipshoot Mintaur for that hackney dinner. (2 of them now!) Doing the “How to make a donation” vid. The slams by Reid. Tripling down on HIS birdpoop little friend he’s borrowed from Edwards AND NOW its Romney killing people.

    Is this not jump the shark time?

    Rush has been saying landslide which I was thinking to myself till she said it. This basturd is giong—hard. Wonder how many will be singing “Nanana, Goodbye ” to him? One things for sure there won’t be a $50million dollar fund to resod the mall.

    Landslide:

    At present, even the good polls suggest it will be a very close race, at best.

    (Yes, I’m aware than most are tainted, and that in any case most, even when honest, are not sure predictors of results.)

    If we do really get a landslide, then I may revise (somewhat) my opinion of the intelligence level of the average voter.

    On the bright side, I believe I’ve read that the Reagan / Carter race in 1980 appeared to be tight until close to the end, difficult though that is to imagine now.

    Also, some pretty good analysis (by pundits who should know) suggests that control of the Senate may be an even tighter contest that the one for the White House. I wish I could believe that we’ll wind up with at least 54 seats, but that’s not how it appears right now.

    The problem in both cases is that the average voter is simply not getting any information worth having, and by now has probably been well conditioned to uncritically swallow the most outrageous lies.

    I hope some PAC rips into the ad that started this thread and takes it apart (while oozing sympathy for everyone’s losses of course).

    I appreciated Paul’s post @ 15. Good to have summary facts.

    Well, I heard that Obama will get rid of all unemployment and cut welfare in half if he’s elected again.

    I, also, heard that Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter are twins.

    Pure Chicago smear machine.

    I’d say not-s’-much, or we’d be saying POTUS Hillary!.
