Re: Is This Ad Fair?on

I don't think the ad is honest, but whether it's fair or not, I'll leave that for others to judge.

The ad muddies the real story about Romney and Bain, so I'll give it a big thumbs down.

Sounds fair to me. The ad didn't demand that Romney show his birth certificate, even though his father and family were living in Mexico. The "birthers" will be squealing, don't you think?
 
Re: Is This Add Fair?

No, I don't think there's anything wrong with the ad. It's more or less true so we may as well get this out in the open, now, and deal with it.

the attacks are fair ( it's politics, after all)... what's not really fair is the characterization of venture capitalists.

Media will always take the basics and bundle them into a neat package for easy consumption. For those that know what venture capitalists do and don't do it's just facing the accented truth. Some are raiders and that's a necessary part of the system. If you understand the system, even a little bit, it isn't a surprise - but it does "sound bad" on TV, doesn't it?

The main point about bain as I see it...is simple.

A group running a company and running it well, that produces a good product at a fair price, who grows the business and makes alot of profit...is what capitalism is all about.

Scumbags that buy companies just because they have enough money to do that...and buy it with the intent of just crashing it and without any consideration for the many people they hurt and sometimes destroy in the process for a buck...are ALL THATS WRONG with our system and they are the lowest of life forms.....thats how I see it.....and the gop wants to give these kinds of pigs another tax cut and the workers they hurt badly...the gop wants to make them pay more for medicare and have less social security to give the rich another tax cut....

A confusing rant ?
Not, IMO, it made sense to me....and this is no easy task...
But, then, I am biased against the tea-bagging conservatives.

It's kind of funny. This was alright, when other republican candidates were criticizing Romney for being and "Vulture Capitolist," but now the democrats replaying it back isn't okay? That's biting them in the butt. Sorry folks, but I don't think this is even close to "Swift Boat" tactics. And the republicans haven't really even started many negative ads yet. We'll see.

Gingrich and Santorum were desperate candidates trying to use this issue to defeat Romney. Since it was a Republican primary, I am not surprised that the tactic failed. In other words, Republican voters did not "buy" what Gingrich and Santorum were selling regarding the Bain issue.

That being said, this issue could hurt Romney in the general election when more voters cast their ballot for or against Mitt Romney.

Those producing future ads on this topic will have to do a better job than those who worked on the video in this thread. Those who made this ad did a poor job of editing.
