In a new ad, Obama can’t stop laughing at Mitt used Mitt Romney’s contempt for half of the country against the Republican nominee. Again. Only it hurt a lot more this time. The ad ends, “Instead of attacking folks who work for a living…Shouldn’t we stand up for them?” Cue Mitt Romney finding the fetal position.

Voice Over: When Mitt Romney dismissed 47% of Americans for not pulling their weight, he attacked millions of hard working people making 25, 35, 45 thousand dollars a year. They pay social security taxes. State taxes. Local taxes. Gas, sales, and property taxes. Romney paid just 14 percent in taxes last year. On over 13 million in income. Almost all from investments. Instead of attacking folks who work for a living…Shouldn’t we stand up for them?
No, no, vote Republican so they can kick you in the —- after they’re done screwing you in the —! Republicans hate everyone except rich white males – what’s not to love? They spread it around equally, so you can’t say they are against equality. They hate the troops and seniors and hungry kids and gays and women and union members and teachers and firefighters and poor white people and poor black people (especially them!) and all the religions that shouldn’t exist because they aren’t Christian unless their only viable candidate (or so they thought in the primaries) is from another religion and then it’s okay but HEY!
Republican are the party of eensy teensy tent! Heck, how many Americans did they lose with this ad? People who paid into Social Security and want it there when they need it, people who pay state and local taxes, taxes on gas, sales and property taxes– I mean, the only people left are — well, the only non-entitled, not-lazy, not victims left are… well, okay, Mitt Romney doesn’t pay that much in taxes either, and the Tax Policy Center organization says there are 7,000 millionaires who pay no taxes, so they are on Republicans’ hit list too, but you get the idea — in general, rich people are exempt from Republican contempt. When Mitt Romney fails to pay taxes, he gloats about his entitlement, due to his status as The Ruling Class Elite. You People do not get that privilege.
All you other Americans, the ones Republicans hate, well hey, you victims — vote Republican because of the “job creators'” freedom!
