French Mitt Romney

Produced by AmericanLP, TJ Walker
Ad Concept: Louis Ferro
New French Speaking Mitt Romney Ad Launches in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina
December 12, 2011

NEW YORK -- AmericanLP, a new Democratic Super PAC, announced today that it is launching a new advertising campaign designed to mock Mitt Romney and the current state of the Republican Party. AmericanLP has produced a new ad entitled "French Mitt Romney."

The ad consists entirely of footage of Mitt Romney speaking French with text transcripts scrolling below of actual quotes from Romney endorsing liberal positions on abortion rights, gay rights, global warming, gun control and state-run mandated healthcare. Citations and a full transcript can be found at http://americanlp.org/2011/12/08/mitt-romney-french-campaign-video/

AmericanLP founder TJ Walker explained the ad:

"The quotes running in the ad appear to be actual transcripts of Romney speaking in a current political TV ad, but they are actually out-of-context quotes from Romney collected over the years. But if it's one thing we know about Mitt Romney, he whole-heartedly approves of using out of context quotes in political advertising. In fact, belief in out-of-context advertising appears to be the only political principle Romney has NOT flip flopped on, so we're sure he will love this ad."

Walker continued, "This ad is payback for Republicans mocking John Kerry for his French-speaking abilities in ads like this one in 2004 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDq8bEjhs7Q. Let's face it, since 2000, the Republican Party has become the "Stupid Party" and nothing says 'hoity-toity elitist intellectual' like the ability to speak French."

"So our goal here is to remind GOP primary and caucus voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina that Mitt Romney is a left wing radical who has, in all likelihood, hung out with socialistic, atheistic cheese-eaters like Jean Paul Sartre."

AmericanLP is making an initial ad purchase on national cable news and on political news blogs in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. The ad will begin appearing on December 12, 2011.

More saddened feel they the deep slumberousness and the cold indifference of the citizens on this new continent, who are about to let stripped away their precious liberty, which was once won by themselves...

Abhorred are they at the amount of distortions, contrivances and lies propagated wave after wave to the individuals, but whose ears were originally given them to hear simplicity, to listen to truth as well as the chymes of birds and all virtuous prayings and peaceful greetings...

[AmericanLPorg]

@gewangew what?

[jujuplayboy]

This is why, in France (and certainly in America too, and actually worldwide), most people really try to learn an other language : because they can't trust anymore subtitles.

And, BTW, nice accent. If you could hear me speaking English... just ridiculous.

"Abortion" and "Olympic Games" in the same basket... what idiot made these subtitles ?!?

[AmericanLPorg]

@jujuplayboy it is a joke and yo are too clueless to get it. Some might even say you are an idiot.

[IWEEW]

This video does a terrible job of hiding how fake the subtitles are.

[IWEEW]

@supertankinator I don't speak it at all. "Olympic" and "Salt Lake City" make it easy to understand what he's saying.

[lDimondEyesl]

im not that good at my french but dam this guy is trying make him more of a asshole then he already is

[Sylvain603]

Yes that's right. ONU,and Europe and African countries have a lot of French-speakers like in France,Belgium,Switzerland,Rep­ublic of Congo,Republic Democratic of Congo,Morocco,Ivory Coast,Algeria,Cameroon,etc,etc­. I don't think it's wrong that Americans learning another language apart English and Spanish language for knowledge. They just have to be more open minded and the electorate move on to this kind of idiocy linguistic.

[lpsmash]

@Sylvain603 Its also about the world OUTSIDE USA, americans seems to forget that. ONU is french, lots of europe and african country are french too. Whats wrong with having knowledge of another language, thats a retarded electoral scam.

@murphyj87 Whoa dude, I was just having a light conversation. I wasn't disparaging your country, or even your favorite hockey team. I love Canada, but you need to chill.

[murphyj87]

@mrman26 First, the US has not been on the moon for 39 years, which demonstrates that your thinking is 4 decades behind the times, as I pointed out in my previous comment. Secondly, the commander of the International Space Station for the 2013 mission is a Canadian, not an American. Thirdly, the Space Shuttle and the ISS would be basically futile without the Canadarm. Without Canada the US space program would have been functioning at 10% of what it did with Canada's contribution.

[mrman26]

@murphyj87 It's not all Americans, just the xenophobic right-wing Republicans. Canada is a great country too, but I don't see any maple leaf flags on the moon.

[murphyj87]

Not only is it a political requirement for a Canadian politician to speak both English and French, but many speak a third language, either the 3rd most common language in Canada, Mandarin, or the 4th most common language in Canada, Punjabi.

The fact that it's a political disadvantage for American politicians to speak more than one language is yet another demonstration how backward and narrow minded Americans are, and how many decades the United States is behind Canada in every way that counts.

"I read the screen, I read the screen, I read the screen, End of signal. What?!"

[Sylvain603]

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you that I'm a Canadian and I'm a French and English speaker. I recommend you to go to the Wikipedia Encyclopedia to see the Franco-Americans portal.

Good bye and good and happy reading.
