Mitt Romney is a Killer, The "Understands" Ad.

Watch and judge for yourself.

These people are mentally ill.

Fact checking reveals too that this woman still had health insurance at her job for years after her husband was laid off. It was 5 years later that she left due to injury and was later diagnosed with cancer.

Obama and his Super PACs are clearly desperate. Shouldn't an incumbent being running on his own record? How'd this kind of boogeyman tactic work out for McCain/Palin?

That plant closed 8 years after Bain invested in the failing company and long after Mitt left. My understanding was that Bain repaired them then years later sold the company to a Canadian co which eventually closed the plant. Hardly murder. The goal of private equity is to resurrect dying companies, get them healthy and sell them off. Under Romney, Bain resurrected AK Steel (i think that's the name) from the brink of bankruptcy. They are now the 3rd largest steel mill in the country employing thousands.

This is just another lie in many being spread by the liar in chief under cover of a complicit media. Lets look back on the past few weeks. Romney is a felon. Romney is a murderer. Romney hasn't paid any taxes in 10 years. Romney drinks the blood of babies in his Mormon ceremonies.

Meanwhile in the real world Obama squandered 800 Billion dollars of stimulus money. He could have used a few billion to keep our space program alive. Or to do some of the infrastructure jobs that he is now pining for another stimulus for. That would have saved some jobs. Instead he spend hundreds of billions of the dollars on green energy grants and subsidies with the promise of 5 million new green energy jobs. We got nothing. We actually lost jobs in the coal industry with more job losses there looming. Next he sold us a healthcare plan that was supposed to lower the average family's premiums by $2500 per year while being deficit neutral. Instead we got $3000+ increases in premiums alongside a slew of new taxes and deficits. Boeing opens a plant in SC and Obama goes after them eventually blackmailing them in to a deal with the union in Oregon that they would not have made otherwise. Then he cow tows environmentalists (Hollywood libs were all over this issue, there is a video of Julia Louis-Dreyfus making a plea to Obama on behalf of environmental loons) and blocks Keystone but lies about the reasons and claims 3 years of environmental impact studies just wasn't enough. There is a pattern here.

This administration sells their policies on blatant lies. They lie about everything. They believe the ends justify the means. They know the complicit media will not call them out. Hence we get commercials calling Romney a killer.

Chicago politics at its finest.

I really hope people see through all of his "charm" and oratory skills. Just do some research on every campaign he has ever had. This is not surprising at all.

And yes, if he didn't want these to air, they wouldn't. It is foolish to think that the nominees do not coordinate with their super PACs.

Romney closed the plant and made millions.

People lost their jobs and healthcare.

And now he runs as a "successful" businessman.

Who is shameless?

Bain Capital and Economic Reality Closed the Plants.

The Plants would have closed immediately if Bain hadn't bought it and tried to revive it for a period of years.

Hence Bain kept the Plant afloat for however many years they owned it.

Yes. That happens when businesses close.

No matter who closes them, or if they close themselves.

Not every business can be saved.

Any scumbag who would try and defend the accuracy of this ad.

Why is shameless Dan Marino in the Hall of Fame? I've seen him throw more than one interception.

Again Bain bought that company in the mid 90's. The lady died in 2006. She worked at that plant with insurance long after Mitt left Bain. The whole premise of the ad is a lie. Obama administration is backpeddeling.

So who is the moron, Obama for putting out blatant propaganda lie ads or you for believing it?

I figured it out.

You're the one who told Harry Reid that Romney didn't pay taxes for 10 years.

What people forget about Bain is that how many of these companies were DOA or would have went out of business or overseas anyway. As far as I am concerned they saved what they could and outsourcing is better than non-existence.
