"SNIP....................................

An explosive Priorities USA ad has dominated the campaign this week, though it hasn’t aired once on TV. It is, however, still getting play in some crucial swing states.

Of the half a million who’ve clicked on the ad on YouTube, most come from precisely the states Priorities USA hopes will see it.

Priorities USA, the super PAC supporting President Obama, has caught flak for the ad, which features a laid-off steel worker who blames his wife’s death from cancer on losing health insurance coverage after Bain Capital shut down the factory where he worked.

1. It is A Great Ad, Ma'am: Romney Killed That Man's Wife, And He Did It For Pocket Change

Did it for an amount of money that, by itself, is no more significant to him than the nickel I did not bother to pick up off the sidewalk this afternoon is to me. Make no mistake, Romney would kill you, cut your throat with a grin, for the coins stuck in the crack of your couch. The fact is that Romney is interchangeable, morally and psychologically, with a mugger or drug pusher: he will take whatever anyone has, whatever the harm it does, so long as he can get his own hands on it and do so in safety. The back-story proffered as apologia in this matter idoes not make a damned bit of difference: if Romney had not gutted the company the man worked at, and pocketed for himself that man's livelihood, the matter would have turned out differently, and everyone involved knows it, with the possible exception of Romney and the sycophantic flacks of the press desperate to prove they are 'fair' by looking away from the truth of what vulture capitalism is, and what a vulture capitalist is. Romney killed this man's wife for pocket change, and Romney has done this to hundreds, thousands of people; pocketed their livelihoods and pensions, thrown them out of their homes, left them destitute and dying, and all so he could cram a few more dollars into his pockets. He has no regard whatever for human life where snatching a few more bucks for himself is concerned. That is what he is, that is what he does, and this ad makes it crystal clear.

"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog."

2. I'm curious if they are going to air it on tv

or this is just a way to lure Crossroads into blowing money on ads. Never mind, I answered my own question *duh*
