New Ad Slays Romney for Calling the American People Victims
By: Sarah JonesSep. 19th, 2012more from Sarah Jones
Here come the ads. Priorities USA released a new ad today called “Doors” in which they skewer Romney with his own words.
Priorities USA Action: “Doors” — Watch here:
They roll with an image of the mansion where Romney made his now infamous remarks, with the narrator saying, “Behind these doors, Mitt Romney calls half the American people (roll Romney’s quote calling Americans victims) victims?!”
“And behind these doors,” the narrator says as we close in on an average American home, “middle class families struggle, and Romney will make things even tougher.” They flash the assessment from the Tax Policy Center that determines that Romney will raise taxes on the middle class, as the narrator says, “Raising taxes on middle class families by as much as $2,000.00 to give multi-millionaires a $250,000.00 tax break.”
Then they roll the even more damning Romney quote, “I’ll never convince them to take responsibility for their lives” to which the narrator responds, “and Mitt Romney will never convince us he’s on our side.”
“If Romney wins, the middle class loses”.
This is just brutal. They tied Romney’s words from the secret video to his policy, and that’s something Mitt Romney can’t afford, because it proves that it wasn’t a gaffe. It’s how Mitt Romney sees the world, and how he wants to fundamentally change America to be the land of the sniveling plutocrat being served by a besieged middle class and the poor.

According to CNN, Romney is doubling down on his ever-accumulating unfortunate statements. He, who has flip-flopped on everything else, won’t be budged on that.
So he does have a core, and this is it.

Though Ross Douthat typically tried to spin it away this morning in the New York Times:
“The idea that he would reveal his true political beliefs to a group of people he’s trying to flatter, cajole and spook into giving him more money may be appealing to his critics, but it isn’t necessarily convincing.
“What these comments definitely tell us, though, is what Mitt Romney, master consultant, feels his “clients” in the Republican donor base want to be told about this election and what will inspire them to dig deep and give freely to his cause.”

Ross obviously has never been around people like Mitt and those at the parry. I have and they talk like this to each other all the time. They each think every other one thinks exactly the same way and they are perfectly comfortable speaking the same shit. The person who filmed Mitt speaking does not or we would never have seen this footage. I thank that ONE millionaire for his or her integrity and guts.

And Ross is a rank apologist on top of it all. His main concern is to demonstrate that Democrats are no different from Republicans in order to lessen the blow.

I don’t think any of the millionaires at this dinner, took this video. They don’t have the integrity, or they wouldn’t have spent 50,000 to listen to his tripe.
I think this was a server. One of the 47%, that Romney insulted at another big donor bash.

That ad needs to be shown nationwide – it hits exactly the right tone with the perfect crowd.

There are many,many, many of us who have known this to be the True Romney from the Get-Go. He has never had any interest, and for that matter, the ability, to lead this diverse Country. His interest is in being able to put on his resume that he was President of the United States. Perhaps because he will then be satisfied that he “accomplished” something his Father did not.

Every ad like that run about him ought to fade in and out, at crucial points, a translucent super of *that certain smile* -almost a sublim, but not quite. Believe me, I know what I’m doing.
