So how dirty will the campaign get?

So now Mitt is a murderer? That is such a ridiculous charge. Such a pile of half truths and lies.
I hope Obama repudiates this. He lectures us on "civility", yet offers no leadership. Yes, I know that PACs cannot have any contact with the official campaign, but he could publicly state that he desired them to stop this lying ad.
Soptic's wife retained her health insurance for 2 years after Soptic did.He wants us to believe that Romney bears more responsibility than he, himself, for his wife's healthcare. What kind of a husband was he?
Have you no shame?

So you're saying Obama put this out? What, by the way?

There was indeed talk that there was communication between B.O.'s people and the PAC on this one. I have no idea if there is anything to it.

REGARDLESS of whether B.O. had anything to do with it, it is effective. ANYTHING to divert attention from the miserable failure of B.O.'s economic policies is good for B.O.

He's been getting lots of unsolicited help in the diversion area lately; Colorado shooting, Sikh Temple shooting, etc. We're coming up on Hurricane season, so he will probably get at least a few days of free diversion from that along the way.

In the meantime, he can use his own diversions when the free ones aren't doing it for him. His PAC's are coming up with some deusies.

This kind of trash will only last until early November. Once he and his media have secured his second term for him, we won't have to listen to it anymore.

All this outrage over a SuperPAC ad that isn't nearly as misleading as you state (or really even misleading at all), yet we hear nothing from you about the actual GOP candidate's bald-face lies about Obama's cooperation with Republican governors who requested flexibility in meeting federal welfare requirements. Mitt Romney's New Welfare Ad is Breathtakingly Dishonest | Crooks and Liars

And what argument are you attempting to make on the Bain issue? That they didn't dismantle companies, resulting in the loss of health care benefits? That's a tough argument to make, IMO.

They saved many more jobs than they lost. Unlike B.O.'s job record. He has lost many more than he has gained.

If you are talking about private sector jobs, you are not even close. Bush vs. Obama: Unemployment (July 2012 Jobs Data) | Reflections of a Rational Republican

If you are talking about government jobs, then you might have a point. Government employment grew under W's watch, but has steadily dropped under Obama. CHART: Bush Vs. Obama On Private And Public Sector Job Creation | ThinkProgress

And where are you getting your data on the net job gains under Bain?

That's what they say they want. Their actions say otherwise. The way I see it, when the GOP is in control, we get government that is bigger, more intrusive, and more centralized.

both sides are going to get dirty. BHO and the Chicago crowd are well know for this and I imagine Mitt can slug too.

I wouldn't give you a dime for either "man". The fate of the country is swirling like a turd in a toilet right now....

I couldn't agree more. In their defense though, they're politicians, they can't help it.

Jobs are jobs. We have a net loss of them during B.O.'s reign. We need a net gain.

With B.O. and his Chicago cronies having a strangle hold on small business, there will NOT be more private sector jobs until there is a serious change that results in confidence in the private sector.

If Bain is so bad, why does most of DNC take campaign money from Bain and subsidiaries?

From the Hill:

Quote:
Democrats have accepted more political donations than Republicans from executives at Bain Capital, complicating the left’s plan to attack Mitt Romney for his record at the private-equity firm.
During the last three election cycles, Bain employees have given Democratic candidates and party committees more than $1.2 million. The vast majority of that sum came from senior executives.
Republican candidates and party committees raised over $480,000 from senior Bain executives during that time period.

If Bain is so evil then why did Obama select, as the chief bundler of campaign funds, Romney's successor at Bain?

As you know, one of those dirty campaign tactics is to publicly reveal that Romney has a Swiss bank account. Politics just doesn't get dirtier than that.

Why does Romney need a Swiss bank account?
