Romney: Liar (New Obama Ad!)

[bigtree]

____________________

Mitt Romney didn't tell the truth about his tax plan, his plan for Americans with pre-existing conditions, his Medicare plan, nor the President's Medicare plan.

Why would Romney not tell the truth about what he'd do as President? Because his real plans would hurt the middle class.

Romney: Liar

[Inuca]

1. This is for online consumption

+ to be quoted in the news. WHat I want to see are the famous 30 seconds ads. And I wan tto see Romney's words being opposed not by various pundits but by Romney's OWN earlier statements. There should be plenty to find.

3. 'online consumption' isn't just some small thing anymore; it has significance in this election

HERE'S HOW THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN USES THESE VIDEOS:

from yesterday:

______ Today, Obama for America is running the Promoted Trend on Twitter using the #ForwardNotBack hashtag leading to a video that came together in mere hours.

Obama is also running anti-Romney expandable ads on key swing state news sites with a message aimed squarely at younger voters, along with a more-general anti-Romney ad takeover mirroring the #ForwardNotBack theme on HuffingtonPost.com.

The Obama paid trend links to search results topped with a video tweet from the Obama camp: therein lies about a minute-and-a-half of mainstream media response to the debate, all suggesting statements by Republican Mitt Romney were light on facts. TV coverage clips are coupled with several screenshots of equally damning conclusions on Twitter about Romney statements from non-partisan fact-checking groups FactCheck.org and Politifact.

"The results are in. Romney played fast and loose with the facts," states text that introduces (yesterday's) Obama video. (Same format as today's)

Before the debate, Obama's campaign surrogates played down his chances of scoring high points last night, in part because Romney had more recent debate experience and more time to prepare. Today's video-enhanced Twitter move seems to follow that strategy. Rather than highlighting the President and his own words, the video uses trusted media outlets to reinforce one of Obama's primary messages last night: Romney's claims regarding issues such as healthcare and his tax plan are not based in fact.

6. I agree, it's important

the difference is "pull" vs "push". I was not putting the as down.

2. Love how they used Andrea Mitchell ... she's usually shilling for the GOP.

[bigtree]

4. that's one of the most effective strategies behind these ads, I think, Joe

. . . they focus almost entirely on these damning statements from the ones who should be allies of Romney's. It's some really deep trench warfare going on from the Obama camp.

5. kick

[lunatica]

7. That sure didn't take long!

But then the ads pretty much write themselves with Romney

[Waiting For Everyman]

8. Beautiful! Killer ad.

Now rMoney begins to get his payoff for lying his ass off during the debate.

Lots of people retweet these vids, as I just did. Or FB them, same thing. They do circulate.

9. Great ad, glad to know my money's going to good use to smack Rmoney down

[bigtree]

10. kick

11. Like the ad - don't see why this could be done at the debate

when the strategy Romney employed was literally my number one concern heading into the debate (I knew Romney would recreate his positions whole cloth, how could our team of geniuses not know the same?) and they seemed ill-prepared for it.

But I still like the ad a lot.

[RichGirl]

13. If Obama had called him on these things at the debate....

Romney would have fought back and denied and it would have been one man's word against the other. I think it's much more powerful in the ad with major sources confirming the lies. None of them are people who work with Obama campaign.

[CakeGrrl]

14. Agreed. A "he said, he said" during the debate would have lost the message.

The President would have been spun as attacking Romney, and there's no way to think the moderator would have done his (in this case) job to keep any escalation under control.

Now that Romney has put himself on record, his lying is proven - not a question of whether anyone is accusing him of doing so.

And as you said, the confirmation in the ad is powerful.

[jsmirman]

16. So you can guarantee me that 60 million people will watch the ad?

Ok, thanks.

[jsmirman]

15. It's not one man's word against the other - say go to Barackobama.com right after the debate

and we'll have side by side clips up showing what a fucking liar Mitt is.

I'm sorry, once again, not rocket science.

I'm ready to move on, but good Lord, we should stop with the bullshit excuses.

17. Excellent! Keep'em coming! nt.
