Obama SuperPac Releases One Of The Most Ugly, Misleading Ads In Campaign History
by John Sexton7 Aug 2012371post a comment
**UPDATED**
The Obama political machine’s race to the bottom has dived deep beneath the muck of Harry Reid’s lies about Romney’s taxes and finally hit bedrock. Today Priorities USA released a new ad that will surely rank among the ugliest and most dishonest in the history of political campaigns. Titled “Understands” the ad features Joe Soptic describing how Mitt Romney is responsible for his wife’s death from lung cancer. It’s Lyndon Johnson’s Daisy ad made more personal and therefore even more vile.
When Mitt Romney and Bain closed the plant, I lost my healthcare, and my family lost their healthcare. And a short time after that my wife became ill.
I don’t know how long she was sick and I think maybe she didn’t say anything because she knew that we couldn’t afford the insurance, and then one day she became ill and I took her up to the Jackson County Hospital and admitted her for pneumonia and that’s when they found the cancer and by then it was stage four. It was, there was nothing they could do for her.
And she passed away in 22 days.
I do not think Mitt Romney realizes what he’s done to anyone, and furthermore I do not think Mitt Romney is concerned.
If Soptic looks familiar that’s because he was one of the narrators of the ads the Obama campaign launched in May. You may remember it as the ad where one of Soptic’s co-workers compares Bain Capital to a “vampire.” The new ad is by Priorities USA, an Obama approved SuperPAC. Priorities USA is prevented by law from coordinating its activity with the Obama campaign, but this ad is clearly meant to look like a continuation of the previous Obama campaign ad. Soptic is even wearing the same grey shirt he wore in the previous ad. And the claim about the death of his wife has been part of an Obama for America slideshow for months.
I would tell this boob that Mitt Romney care about him as much as this boob cares about me. I have had the same situation and I make 1/5 of what I used to make before the 2008 fiasco but I WILL STILL BUY INSURANCE FOR MY FAMILY because that’s a priority. Maybe this guy couldn’t afford insurance because he needed a new car or a boat or an RV or some other stupid consumerist toy.
This ad shows the desperation of the Obama camp. It is purely tasteless and I am NOT a Romney fan.
Get Ron Paul back into the campaign so we actually have a DECENT choice for president.
This type of media doesn’t really surprise me, but if your gonna take a cheap shot at someone at least have the balls to attach your name and beliefs to it as well. What is sad is that as a government we are forced to decide between a man with no integrity (Obama) who made all these promises and did nothing but ad trillions to our debt. Way to go O. Then their is the man of greed (Romney). Unfortunately, nearly all of us are guilty of this at some point in time, but unlike most I can admit it and try to determine how I can learn and grow from my mistakes. If you think that you will get this from either of these presidents, please do not hold your breath…
Thanks for reading this post. And if the Secret Service monitors this for Obama’s name being present, thanks for wasting our tax dollars (smile).
