ROMNEY 2012

[C0NTR4l34ND]

Haha, good one.

[Kavenger11]

@phillip84109 Give it up, no one's gonna fall for this moron again. Maybe he can cross country for 12 hours with his dog on the roof of his car and you think it's great or his roomneycare or flipflopping on gun control and abortion but the people are lot smarter than you think. The only man out there with a clean record and is truely for the people and NOT the banks and is for Liberty and OUR rights is Ron Paul and the even Fox can't shut him out this time. Ron Paul 2012

[americanzion]

President Romney! 2012 cant wait till he takes down the Kenyan!

[1kemistry]

The Wall Street vs Main Street propaganda is complete bull crap. When Wall Street does well, Main Street does well.

[phillip84109]

@1kemistry I agree 100%. Wall Street funds Main Street. If you support the "working man", then you also need to support the company that pays the "working man".

It's that simple.

Romney is the guy. Go to WhyRomneydotcom to learn more.

Mitt Romney 2012!!

[MrConservativeTalk]

Mitt Romney fought for taxpayers as a governor, he reduced the state income tax and cut state spending and left office with a surplus. He made tough decisions on spending, and they helped the people of his state while more people were able to afford healthcare without a broad-based tax increase.

[StealthSteez]

Mitt Romney is such an elitist.

[dfausti66]

This video means nothing to me. It is easy to make sound bites of any candidate Repub or Dem with a message by the opposing party. Is this the best the Dems can do?

[JohnRhysMusician]

Mitt Romney didn't even work on wall street. This video is tacky and is just sound bites. His business specialized in leveraged buyouts, which consist of purchasing a bad business, restructuring it, and then generally selling it for a profit, just as main street purchases homes, renovates them, and sells them for profit.

[Catawallupin]

and that first bailout is gone. No acounting asked for, none will ever be given. They just took the money and ran.

[Catawallupin]

who called the candidates off the campaign trail and said we gotta fix this NOW!

[tequilapark]

Wall Street did not build this country, Hard work did, so F$%# you Mr. Romney.

[jag10]

audit the fed.

[robc123]

stupid video. I love all the comments blaming republicans and yet democrats are responsible for the unprecedented bailing out of wallstreet banks. I would say barrack hussein obama is the best friend that wallstreet could ever ask for.

[robc123]

@avatarmacs I agree 100% both sides are dirtied and it is ridiculous to blame sides. but on the same topic it is ridiculous to over simplify and claim that supporting wallstreet makes you a criminal. Showing pics of Romney holding a dollar bill and implying greed is ridiculous. I think it is great that he made money in the private sector and can appreciate the importance of capitalism and the american dream.

[FrankieA]

"but so is Main Street" I would smoke what Romney is smoking however I don't because who knows how many Wall Street cocks he's been blowing.

[awachtel]

Because being a "friend" to Wall Street is a bad thing? OH NOES BUSINESS IS EVIL!

[caddyshack12190]

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be in congressional hearings not Goldman Sachs, Goldman is just a fallguy for the Goverment (fannie mae freddie mac, the federal reserve, SEC,IRS)

[RubHerSoul1]

@caddyshack12190 Why not take 'em all down? None of them are here to help you and I through this meltdown. I mean, who cares how many Nazis we took down in WW2 in our effort to get Hitler? They all need to go. And both Dems and Reps should be flushed down the shitter too. They're all in cahoots behind the scenes at the end of the day while we the people bicker and argue over pointless political standards which keep us from uniting against these jerkoffs.

[AmazinMaz1]

what a prick. damn republicans.

[christiankinney]

@TylerNul1 WAHHHHHHHHH.

[larrydallas187]

@TylerNul1 First off: I'd love to know what level of education you have? Secondly: why wouldn't you vote Ron Paul, he wants to end the income tax? Looks to me like you don't have a clue.

[jacob123]

@larrydallas187 uh ron paul wants to get rid of taxes for the rich too.. do som research taxing is not all that great of a bad things. its where the money goes towards. if there was no taxes for the rich that will be the end because the rich will not stop get richer while our benefits will be demolished

[larrydallas187]

@jacob123 Quote: "do som research taxing is not all that great of a bad things."

[xTechnoVikingx]

@larrydallas187 What kind of level of education do have? Do you know anything about economics or how this country works? Oddviously you dont because you cant even understand how captiolism works. Why do democrates keep spending money we dont have. Yha why dont you say Regan was crap. Wasent Bill Ciltion inpeached becuase he lied under oath and caused the tax payers millions of dollers in court costs. What are you going to use Bush as come back cause that shit is really old.

[larrydallas187]

@xTechnoVikingx why don't you explain to me the workings of capitalism. everything you said is stupid and has nothing to do with anything.

[HKUser92]

This is stupid. First off, if you don't like wallstreet, take your money out of your IRA's, and 401K's. Actually out of banks too, because they use your money to invest in wallstreat to make money. But you couldn't do that, because then you wouldn't have money to have a house, because you couldn't afford one...Well there's always government housing! I'm a trader, and guess what, there are problems, but why don't you look to the government. They would be arrested if they were a private company.

[DickeyRogers]

DemRR, you want to make a video against conservatives, strike the heart of us then, go after Ron Paul. He is the people's champion, our white knight.

[PurpleJacketJoker]

Now why would you attack Mitt Romney? After all he authored the mandated health insurance for Massachusetts. I thought you Democrats/Progressives were all for forcing government policies on people?

News Flash, Conservatives don't think much of Mitt Romney either.

[DickeyRogers]

@PurpleJacketJoker Yup

[rollsthepaul]

Romney/Limbaugh 2012; the dream team for all you scumbaggers. Your politicians are puppets, bought and paid for and what they do is theatre to make you believe you have a say in things; you don't. The USA is a one party system with the two teams playing games for the benefit of the people. You are a resource and your job is to shut the fuck up and suck it up. Any questions?

[robm425]

Geez DNC! In all aspects since 2006 Wallstreet has been consistently more money to the Democrats BY FAR!!!!

Do yourself a favor and realize that CNN broke this story a few days ago, "Wall Street to abandon Democrats in future elections?" Look it up and see the data people.

DNC people aren't as dumb as you think they are

[cureloms]

nice mash-up editing job DNC...haha this is laughable!

[LordXmen2k]

Republicans sold America to the bankers

[robm425]

@LordXmen2k Actually that was the Democrats. Look how much money Democrats recieve from Wall Street verses Republicans. CNN article "Wall Street to abandon Democrats in future elections?"

[kilroyatl]

"Wall Street" does not equal any publically traded company. When people have an issue with "Wall Street" they are talking about the investment houses and companies like Goldman, AIG, Lehman, etc.

And what people object to are the privatization of profits and the socialization of risk with the investment houses. When Goldman borrows money from the Fed at half a percent then buys back US bonds that have guaranteed 3% return, where does that 2.5% guaranteed profit come from?

all of us

[APConservative]

haha, this ad is a joke...

[mmerx]

...ok... so what did Romney say incorrectly in his statements? Everyone is quick to demonize Wall Street when most of us work for publicly traded companies. Doesn't that make us stupid?

The government is what's screwing us - they take 20% of our paychecks, and yet we complain about Wall Street?

[theinsomniac4life]

@mmerx "Most of us work for publicly trade companies."

Is that true? Where's the data for this assertion?

Also, no one is demonizing all of Wall Street ("Wall Street," like "main street," is a metaphor).

20% tax rate for the roads, water, electricity, communications, schools, our military, and the other public works projects that allow business to take root is not very much. We have a lower tax rate than nearly all of our peer nations. Of course, this is why we are bankrupt.

[Chillin306]

Let the GOP apologists continue their disingenuous arguments. We can see through them too. Nice video. Keep it up.

[robm425]

@Chillin306 You read the news at all? Or do you just get your info from DNC?

CNN ran an article "Wall Street to abandon Democrats in future elections?" exposing that the democrats are the ones accepting more money from the republicans

[cornbutter100]

I guess democrats consider this an indictment of Romney. In reality, Romney's statements are correct.

[HemiHead66]

Isn't Romney the one that said he passed that 600 billion unfunded drug bill because that's the way they were doing things back then? You gotta read their budget proposal for last year. They say they can fix everything - healthcare, social security, Medicare, the deficit, the economy, and still lower our debt by trillions. Talk about major bullshit.

[dnlchisholm]

The DNC is so out of step with the rest of America that they are spending money on this video which actually makes Mitt Romney look good. This is hilarious that this is considered an attack when it simply shows Mitt stating the truth.

[theinsomniac4life]

@dnlchisholm Doesn't look good to me. Romney just said that it doesn't matter what is best for the people, Wall Street can do whatever it wants, always has, always will. Nevermind the fact that this is completely inaccurate, that before the repeal of Glass-Steagall, Wall Street could not do whatever it wanted. But to say to the 15% of unemployed Americans that populism doesn't matter is political suicide, except when Romney talks to his rich country club friends.

[myha16]

Romney is the butt boy of Wall Street but what's the point of this ad? Romney's a phony who's policies are all over the place. He will not be the republican nominee in 2012, and if he is, he won't win in the general election.

[voyeurdug]

Once he's learned his script, and the top ten responses to the top ten rejoinders, he's good to go for a month.

[victhpooh]

its not clear enough (for the FOXNATION) that the black and white is Romney speaking. Also, I would add a vid of Romney praising the new populist movement: the Tea Partiers. Aren't they calling themselves populist now? You missed an opportunity, DRR!! Try again

[ReliableInsider]

If Romney is seriously opposing desperately needed reform he truly is not ANYBODY'S "best friend".

[ReliableInsider]

Mitt Romney should stop being a "friend" of Wall Street and start being a friend of the American economy and the American People.

We need banking reform NOW--economists on both left and right, investors rich and poor all agree--and the Republicans, incredibly, are actually trying to BLOCK it.

[Tomdri]

I can see Washington from my house!

[asphyxiafeeling]

Romey is RIGHT! We can't demonize Wall St completely! More then half the problem is inept overblown Government!

[ranus69]

Romney and his many contradictions. So, Romeny if "Wall St greed has been there a long time" as you state why are you against reform?

[KeeperOfTheWord]

This would be amusing were it not to pathetic...

[MidnightChimes]

he later added "except the populism of the tea party movement...which is awesome...and I hope they vote for me in the next erection"

[boltthrower1963]

the blind leading the blind!!!

[tylertyler82]

This guy is a ditz.

[bbbbmer]

Does Mitt Romney include a rider to his appearance contracts that requires a key light to make him look like a waxed used car salesman??? What a fake....

[ConscientiousMind]

Meh, this ad shoots itself in the foot. Romney's saying "Hey, it's not all Wall Street's fault, let's be reasonable. The Dems are demonizing Wall St. and anyone who associates with the banks." and the response is "What? You a friend of Wall Street or something?" How about actually refuting his points instead of giving us a tacit nudge, exactly against which he talks about in the video?

(I support Dems way more than I do Reps and I strongly disagree with Romney, I just don't like this video)

[SubmarinerAndroid]

@ConscientiousMind Emotion and simple messages work best.

[sjcpal]

God what a phony this guy is ...No wonder he can't even win a GOP nomination ...Go spend some more of your money Mit  on another fail...

[MarmaladeINFP]

Powerful people in mainstream media defend Wall Street against the populist outrage of the average American. How surprising... NOT!

[bobster451]

fuck fox news!
