First Romney TV Ad Falsely Presents McCain Campaign Quote As Obama’s

The Romney campaign’s very first television ad, released this evening, dishonestly presents a 2008 McCain campaign quote as the words of President Obama. The ad features a voice-over of Obama saying “if we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose.” Then-candidate Obama indeed said those words, perhaps dozens of times during the closing month of the 2008 campaign. The only problem? Obama was actually quoting the words of a strategist from Sen. John McCain’s campaign


Watch the Romney campaign’s blatantly dishonest ad:

Another eyebrow-raising moment in the ad comes when it attacks “record foreclosures,” despite the fact that Romney’s stated housing policy is “don’t try and stop the foreclosure process.”

1. Facts are not important when you are trying to bring down a country and a man
These people will do what ever they need to achieve their goal of defeating Obama.

3. The Republican ads this year are not getting off to a very good start, are they?
Is this all they have?

4. If he media does its job and tells the truth about this ad
it will only bring focus back to the fact that the economic mess we're in leads directly to the door of a certain fetid Chimp.
