Scarborough: Romney welfare ads are "completely false"

Source: The Hill

Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe today, responding to Mitt Romney's series of TV ads (here, here, and here), claiming that Barack Obama has gutted welfare reform.

"I've been looking for a week-and-a-half to try to figure out the basis of this welfare reform ad, I've scoured the Wall Street Journal editorial pages, I've scoured.... the ad's completely false. It's just completely false.

And I'm pretty stunned."

The article ends with speculation about Democratic ads the clip will probably show up in.

1. What are you completely stunned about Joe?

That Mittens would run an ad that was a total lie?
What? Are you in La La Land?

22. Could it BE

Could it be that Joe is just stunned about how completely the ad ignored reality? Sometimes I have trouble believing that anyone can accept some of the "truths" Republicans are passing around.

2. Joe, you're a liar and a killer

And I'm not stunned. But I am stunned you would actually admit it.

3. love\hate Joe

He disgusts me when he gets partisan, but I have to admit he is sometimes fair minded. And, I love it when he criticizes the GOP for bad politics.

10. He probably gets phone calls after being reasonable

They reel him in and remind him of the benefits of loyalty

12. Yes but the cure is simple, they just need to pull their heads out of their ass though sadly few

are willing to do so.

14. Sorta like that old question--How many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Answer--One

but the bulb has to want to change.

18. The problem with Joe is that just when you can't take any more of him,

he pulls his out and calls 'em as he sees 'em against the Rs.

13. Like today ...

when he argued that ryan has never said anything akin to what akin (hee, hee, hee) said ... and when Mika pointed out that he DID sponsor legislation that says the same thing, i.e., distinguishing between "legitimate" and "illegitimate" rape; but barring abortion in either case ...

His response ... "that's beside the point!"

4. I'm pretty stunned that Scarborough would say this in public

I didn't think he had the intellectual honesty to admit that any Republican would lie!

15. Shows how false Bishop Willard & Mormon brethren are...they don't believe in the Ten Commandments

FREE CLUE FOR Republicans: Thou shalt not lie (bear false witness).

Try it.

The truth will set you free.

19. Isn't he on MSNBC?

His colleague Rachel Maddow has THOROUGHLY documented that Mitt LIES all the time. Bald-faced lies. At the drop of a hat. And sometimes for things that don't even matter.

The man is incapable of telling the truth, when the truth doesn't fit his world view.

23. Being called out by one of their own doesn't seem to

have made a bit of difference to the Rmoney campaign. I was watching some stuff on hulu last night and that ad came on CONSTANTLY.
