Winning Our Future ad -- Think You Know Mitt?

[Jkbox1]

Wow, check out the pic they flash at 0:02..producers created a vampire-thug look for...that Barracuta pop-collar looks like it was drawn in with some crude program like Windows "Paint" and the red light is reminiscent of the ads for the vampire show "Twilight"

[Trelane574]

@Jkbox1 I thought the image was reminiscent of Frank Langella's Dracula.

[Jkbox1]

@Trelane574 Yeah, definitely. Funny.

[retroillumination]

It is baffling that Gingrich, a man who has a disgusting history of convincing his wives that he was not cheating on them for years while he was (twice), can still convince South Carolina and other Americans that he has the honest character required to be our president.

How did Herman Cain get disgraced off of the ballot for doing much less than that, while Gingrich turn his own infidelities to a campaign aid?

[retroillumination]

The answer to the question posed in this video is, "yes." He is LDS and I have not met one dishonest person who follows the beliefs of the Latter-day Saints. I know hundreds.

[lrenhrda]

Sounds like they got Siri to narrate.

[danlake111]

Haha, this is a testament to how stupid conservatives think their constituents are... "Mitt Romney invented governement-run healthcare." Seriously Newt? This is bad politics at its worst. I strongly dislike Mitt Romney, would never vote for him, and hope he looks foolish throughout this election, but this ad is just wrong.

[buckeyemike81]

@XPsychoBurgundyX Ron Paul authored 600+ bills but only 1 passed, he appointed 11 George Soros stooges to a defense commission, and allowed a racist to slander his name in his own newsletter for a decade. Ron Paul is too incompetent to get any of his ideas implemented.

Additionally, to win vs Ron Paul the DNC will just have Obama sit and read the racist newsletters in 30 second ad blocks and we'll lose in a landslide. Fair or not, that's what would happen.

[BroncoNation25]

press 3 for shit

[slavs06]

Awful and unproductive, Newt is unelectable, get over it

[SINKUSUC]

Conservatives won't vote progressive, didn't in 2008, won't in 2012.

[homeschoolmarm]

This ad comes from the devil who supported individual mandates for health insurance from day one. It's easy to take statements out of context and slam someone in a 60 second ad. Let's see what Newt Gingrich has said on this issue in the past--the SAME THING! Hypocritical liar who cannot be trusted.

[Aeschylus]

Whether the Republican nomination goes to the robot with the nice hair or to the little rocketman who abuses the word 'fundamentally', I'm voting Libertarian: Gary Johnson 2012.

[Obabashut]

My sister lived in Canada for a few years thinks the U.S. is spinning it's wheels avoiding making sure people are healthy.

It's America! I have a right to be sick if I want to, even if it's a risk to everyone else's health!

[Nicolantia]

@Obabashut We're glad to know what your sister thinks, thanks Obabashut.

[qtwoot]

I'd be lying if I said I didn't think it was brilliant. lol

[oneromnala]

FACT: Romney and Obama want a Health Care Mandate. Who do you want to win in this election?

[BarrySteelman]

@oneromnala Mr. Obama. we need to eliminate the insurace comlanys from THE PROCESS ENTIRELY. They ARE the death panels. I know, they murdered my best friend for profit.

[BarrySteelman]

@BarrySteelman Companys

[JoeCitizen99]

And btw, the only developed nations in the WORLD that don't have universal healthcare is mexico, turkey and the US. Thats right, even Iran has it. Saying heathcare is bad doesn't make you right. In fact, it shows a complete ignorance of what most of the world takes for granted

[JoeCitizen99]

All this rhetoric is disgusting. Both parties bash each other and divide the nation, when there seems to be very little difference between them, except for some talking points. PROTIP: turn off FOX and CNN and use the internet to find some news outlets not based out of the US. Then maybe you can develop a world perspective and not just regurgitate the propaganda spewed from the bias mainstream media who cares nothing for actual facts and who only care about their own bottom line

[3rkid2]

@JoeCitizen99

As if foreign news sources aren't biased?

[JoeCitizen99]

@3rkid2 Some? Maybe. But there are quite a few that are pretty good at actually fact checking and try to remain impartial. So instead of just assuming that they're all bad, why not take a couple hours and check it out. You may even learn something

[s7rugg1es]

sorry, mitt, you're shit

[adamstriar]

Nothing makes me happier than conservatives yelling at each other.

[MikeOfKorea]

There is no such thing as "Obamacare". It's just conservative hype to try to scare ignorant people. The health care reform was to protect sick people from being tossed out on the street by the insurance companies and to make sure everyone had the chance to get health insurance. Most of the reform hasn't even gone into effect yet because the conservatives screamed so much about it. Conservatives are idiots and you can't reason with idiots.

[Pamelajaynn]

@MikeOfKorea Totally agree!!

[kraftdinnerboy]

So, Romney is Dracula?

[BarrySteelman]

The Founders wrote a Mandate for healthcare

[handsomelatin8]

@BarrySteelman Please let me know where that is?

[BarrySteelman]

@handsomelatin8

scribd.com/doc/29099806/Act-fo­r-the-Relief-of-Sick-DisabledS­eamen-July-1798

The founders realized that an healthy private workforce on the ships that made our economy work were important enough that they needed a GOVERMENT RUN MANDITORY HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. Aren't we all that important now?

[BarrySteelman]

§ 1. Be it enacted, That from and after the first day of September next, the master or ownerof every ship or vessel of the United States, arriving from a foreign port into any port of theUnited States, shall, , render to thecollector a true account of the number of seamen and shall pay, to the saidcollector, at the rate of twenty cents per month for every seaman so employed ; which sum he ishereby authorized to retain out of the wages of such seamen. [edited for space]

[sjorsdude]

Oh no! Moderate AND progressive! Two difficult words in one sentence. I am afraid this will just go over most republicans' heads...

[TeddySanFran]

This will appeal to the right people: folks looking for a reason not to vote for Mitt in a GOP primary, for whatever reasons they have. All these are acceptable reasons to oppose him within their circle of friends, and can be used publicly as reasons for voting for another candidate. As opposed to, you know, religious bigotry, for instance. Which would be totally unacceptable, in a social setting!

[bsimp07]

It's too bad Mitt is pandering to the rightwing extremists. If he stuck to his principles he could actually beat Obama.

[PrezOfHP]

Laughing at conservatives or not, the idea of an Individual mandate is still bullshit. The government cannot force its citizens to buy a service. It goes directly against the rights of the citizens and I would argue it unconstitutional.

[xy4u]

Don't worry rich people, you will still be rich no matter who is elected.

[Nicolantia]

@xy4u not ture at all. What is rich, anyway? You don't have to have money to be rich.

[beachfox00a]

Oh no! That black man said something nice about Romney! BUUUURN HIIIIIIIIMMMMMM!!!!!

[sjorsdude]

@beachfox00a I bet the black man is not even American. Probably Kenyan or something.

[vidsensical]

Wow, that was enough quotes out of that single 10/31/11 Forbes article that they should be sued by the magazine for copyright infringement.

[litbrit]

Really--dis-AS-TER-ous? It's dis-as-trous. There is no such thing as Obamacare, by the way, only a watered-down reform act, all of the provisions of which are still not in effect. We're a deeply unhealthy nation thanks to an abusive and vastly-overpriced private insurance system that incentivizes denying health care in order to turn more profit. Unlike every other civilized nation in the world, who figured that out decades ago and covers all its citizens.

[JennM20]

Such a shame that someone thinks progress is something to be lambasted or ashamed of. LOL, conservatives.

[netipot5]

lesser of two Retards

[squeeky78]

Romney invented government-run healthcare?! I guess I was just hallucinating all those other first world nations that have nationalized healthcare systems.

[nah900]

@squeeky78 Me too! I also hallucinated programs called Medicare and Medicaid and VA hospitals.

[handsomelatin8]

@squeeky78 And that's why most of those nations in Europe that are"first world" are going broke due to entitlements. But don't let that stop you for spouting idiocy

[s7rugg1es]

@squeeky78 yeah, my mother in law was denied care in japan - cancer drugs were deemed too expensive, yet there was no other way for her to be treated. universal health care is the reason that women in england are having babies in utility closets - google it if you don't believe me. how hypocritical for people not to realize that government run health care means that government can DENY you health care even if you have money!

[epiphannyy]

@s7rugg1es....not like insurance companies that deny. You anti-Obama folks really are desperate when you start making things up about how universal health care is so terrible. I know more people than I can count from Canada, Europe, and Australia who ALL think we (Americans) are insane for the blatant lies conservatives are fabricating about their health care systems. I know people who have had cancer and not ONE had to wait for treatment, unlike ME who had to in CA. Shame on you!

[BarrySteelman]

@s7rugg1es The babies in hospital corridor story WAS A LIE!!! that you seem to have bought. I have relatives and many friends in England. I asked them all about that story and they got really pissed at Fox for spreading a BLATANT LIE. IF you now repeat it you are a liar.

[rosenkavalier817]

Kinda makes me want to vote for Mitt...

[huelga2009]

I want my minute back.

[milaireny]

Nah, far to right to a distortion - Only Newt would cause this kind of rancor. 

[balthcat]

Disaaaasterous... 

[FuriosoDrummer]

Lol, conservatives.

[PBezuhkovIII]

That was a successful indictment - links Romneycare and Obamacare and shows Romney favored a national mandate.

[nickj116]

Brutal. And awesome.
