I’m not gonna lie to you, this ad looks good, sounds good, and feels good. It doesn’t matter that it’s based on a foundation of lies because the people this ad is targeting aren’t really paying attention. It’s 2 minutes long and it will run on TV in the battleground states.

Watch:

If there was ever a time for Romney to rise to the occasion and draw sharp lines between he and Obama, calling out the lies for what they are to dismantle this fairy tale Obama has put together, the time is now. We are less than 6 weeks away from the elections there isn’t much time left. The debates start next week and may have a large impact, but ads like this could have a large impact as well.

I want to feel the momentum of victory and I’m just not feeling it yet.

Such double speak; made up words, phrases, and concepts...ORWELLIAN. We now call war OCO (Overseas Contingency Operations), simply disagreeing with someone is RACISM, up is down, and 2+2=5. Just what the hell does "economic patriotism" mean? More gobbledygook from BO. Like most everything else out of his mouth...worthless and untrustworthy.

Arrgghh !! I got through about 45 seconds of the ad and couldn't take any more of his lies. He's had 4 years and he talks as if he is just starting out and we should all give him a chance. He pulls a 180 every time. Says he will do 'this' and then does just the opposite. Anyone who still falls for his lines......well, I don't know.....guess there's no hope for them. I can't stand a liar.

He's acting like he was not in charge of this mess for the past year! Wasn't he the POTUS for the past 4 years? Not one word about what he's done during his time in the White House!...Romney can't let him get away with this. Pin this economy and the Mid East crisis to his lying ass!!!

Manufacturing jobs- by sending them to China? Investing in more Solyndras? Higher taxes? Gut the military? These are all in this ad and the GOP needs to counter every claim in it.

Mr. President you are such a liar! Mr. President you are responsible for the 23 million being out of work! How can anyone blieve this garbage! This is why Romney doesn't tell his plan because of Barack Obama coopting his ideas and making them his own. Does anyone really beleive that Barack Obama, with all of his 11,000+ pages of regulations, will either stiffle or bring to a halt the economy is interested in economic growth?! I mean the only growth he is interested in giving cell phones to those already getting government checks including the elderly. I cannot help thinking that he reminds me of Castro, Chavez, or pick your dictator. Romney has to counter this and remind people that we are living Obama's enonomy while he acts like he had nothing to do with this economic diaster!

Well if enough Americans are this stupid and vote for this Jim Jones clone, they deserve destitution. And then we have two choices, secede from the union, and I don't give a darn what Abraham Lincoln said about secession, or leave the country.

They aren't Constitutionally permitted to do any of what they're doing, so we will need states to reject the Federal Govt. leave the union, and tell them we aren't going to hell with them. It's either that or just willingly go. Why should we, they're breaking the law, and I'm not going to let some moron judge sit there and try to dictate to millions of people that we can't. Watch us.

I know it's hard not to feel victory - thanks to the recent "bias" polls! DO NOT ALLOW the media to deflate us! Anyone who is buying Obama BS are going to vote for him anyway!

Keep in mind. according to Rass and Gallup, our base (who are more enthusatic) is fully behind R&R and they are carrying Independents!

I have always felt it was Romney's to lose. But I also would never underestimate this cabal and the propaganda media. They are very dangerous - this is live or die for them too.

If millions of Americans know this guy is a post-American marxist, and that the media has launched a full blown propaganda campaign for his ascension. So, the Romney campaign must too?

In 2008 Mr President was going to cut the deficit in half. 10.6T - 1/2(10.6T) = 5.3T

In 2012 Mr President says that he going to cut an additional 4T. 5.3 + 4 = 9.3T

At this rate out 16T deficit will be cut to 7T by 2016.

Please forgive me if I say that some number above 20T is more likely.

I have registered my son's friends right here in my home. I picked up voter registration papers, keep them here at my home. Talk to my son's friends (they are struggling in this economy) who are in their early 20's (also my neighbors) and have them register as Republicans or Independents who will be voting for Romney. Obama is NOT popular and many times people are not sure how to register.

Anyone can do this, right from their home. Go to your local voter registration office, or local party office, grab some of these official forms. It is perfectly legal. Trust me, people across the spectrum want to vote Obama out. This keeps me feeling positive about this coming November.

P.S. You can also download registration papers from the Internet, have people fill those out. Provide them with the envelope and stamp and make sure it gets mailed out right then and there. =)

My suggestion would be to go online and get the registration forms in ohio, florida, virginia and other battleground states and send them out to anyone you may know who lives in these states. If you live Texas and know someone who lives in a battleground state just go online and download the forms from that state, and send it to them and tell them we are not asking you to change parties or idealogies, if you are a liberal you can stay liberal just don't vote for the one in this particular election.

This phase of Hussein's marxist takeover should not be a surprise. It is of course highly sophisticated but it is what socialist/marxist tyrants do after they give out land, food, housing or other free stuff to the populous. They create the vision of the new order.

All the things we see as incompetent, stupid, irresponsible (like trivializing the middle east, playing golf, hanging out with JayZ, going on the View and calling out the Prophet of Islam at the UN) are calculated plays to his base.

Romney is running by pointing out Obama's lies, policies, the debt and his record. This is no typical political opponent. Obama is a dangerous anti-American marxist. All Obama's "failures" are actually marxist successes. Romney should be running against Obama's marxist ideology, not his popular tactics.

Reagan successfully attacked Carter by taking the high road, showing to America what socialism is and where it would take us if we did not remove Carter. Romney has been afraid to show America where Obama's far more dangerous marxism and islamic supremacy is taking us.

sDee, I wish you were an adviser to the Romney campaign.

You are so correct that 0 is "no typical political opponent," and that he is a "dangerous anti-American marxist."

Romney must have this knowledge, that he is not running against a 'nice guy.'

0 is a political enemy like no other political opponent in our history; he's not even human.

It is extremely sobering to know that this election and this person, Romney, that we have selected to be our leader (behind our true Leader, the Lord Jesus Christ) holds the future of our very country in their hands. I trust the Lord.

I pray that the Lord will still find favor on America and bless us richly.

RS has a point. The one thing that was striking about the QPoll that came out yesterday, was that Rommey and Obama were tied in Ohio with voters who are paying close attention to the race. Romney needs to be on his game in the debate next week. Plus, he could easily dissect this ad with a 2 minute one of his own.

When did he switch parties? Must of been during the terrorist attack a couple weeks ago. This guy is full of crap. He would have done all that these last 4 years if he believed in those policies. A vote for Obama is a vote for a liar and the end of America as we know it.

I am so sick of Obama and the left blaming the bank crisis on Bush and his policies. Bush's policies had nothing to do with it and the libs got away scot free from what they did to cause the banks to go haywire.

This ad should not help Obama. He has had four years and he has not seriously addressed jobs up until this point (and this is just an ad, not reality). If I'm without a job and I'm watching this ad, I'd be asking what the he!! he's been doing for four freaking years!! The answer would remind of what he has been doing and it would make me sick to my stomach.

He has done everything hin his power to shut down oil production here and he promoted it in Brazil where Soros has his investments. Obama, we're going to slap your pathetic lying a$$ down in November!! Man, he really pi$$es me off with his blatant lies. Anyone who listens to him is a freaking moron.

You know, I can't watch this. I am the widowed mother of five sons. Three, in their early twenties, who are trying to establish themselves as adults. This Obama economy has been another cruel blow to my family. I just want my son's to have the opportunity that their father and I had when we were their ages. The thought of Obama getting back into office for four more years is an dreadful fear that is wearing me down.

I know if he is elected, America will never be the same. Obama is dangerous Anti-Social who is unworthy of the office of President. He is ever bit as evil as King Manessa of OT who led Israel into idolatry (Ramadan in the WH), child sacrifice (abortion) and severe judgement (selling us out to our enemies).

I'm sorry, I tried, I just can't watch Obama's lying murderous face. I have to stay strong and focused. I pray, that Romney musters all the love in his heart that he has for America and Americans and comes out fighting skillful and fierce for survival of America returning her precious families back to normalcy and opportunity for prosperity once again.

You are not alone. My father immigrated to America to escape exactly the sinister socialism we now face - socialism that preceded Nazism. Our 4 children, also in their 20's, work very hard, earned all they have and took nothing from the government. Now they struggle and pay a price for not getting on the leftist "bandwagon". They pay a price for their conservative, self reliant values at work and with friends. I tell them to not give in - Obama's marxism and deceit has strengthened their resolve.

We cannot let them get to us. Thank you for all you are doing. Please stay strong - I trust your sons will draw from it and each other.

When the stark reality of losing ones freedom smacks us in the face all men must choose sides. The natural slaves who follow their masters, and, free men. No one is coming to save us - it is up to us. Our greatest strength will be with our families.

Wow las! One of the things I wish I could have done before I left, was to travel more around northern Ontario. A good friend of mine from back home, his dad had a place up at Kirkland Lake! He gave me a photo, and I made a painting of the sunset sky reflected in the lake. I still have that painting! I wish you were on facebook and I'd send you a copy of it.

The furthest north I ever made was to Minden. I always wanted to go farther.

It must have been a great place to grow up, my friend! I grew up in the suburbs (Mississauga) until we moved to a small town when I was 15. I loved going into the city, but I SO loved living up in the boonies, the town had a whopping 500 people, and it was a great place. I've been a country girl at heart ever since and can't stand town life.

Yes, I do still have much of Canada in my heart! I miss some places, my family and old friends, but my life is here, and I love this country as if I was born here.

You and I both have had some happy memories, and I'm glad. :-)

It used to be called Toronto the good. It's not often we went to TO, but when we did it was so special and awe inspiring. I grew up in the mining town of Kirkland Lake and it was an 8 hr drive to TO. Do I remember Simpsons and Eatons' X-Mas catalagues? Wow! I would pour over them like I hadn't eaten for a week. And you are right there my friend, you can't go home. It's not the same. In the 1960's my hometown was small but awesome. It had the largest highschool in Ontario because it was a collector school for the region around it, and it was vibrant... no cell phones, no internet (of course like everywhere) it had the winter ACT (Associated Canadian Travelers) festival. My dad always worked on them. Forty below was common, tons of snow all the time in winter. Skidoos would go up and down the streets at all hours of the day, were never banned off the streets. And in the 1930's and 1940's it was the largest gold mining

las my friend, I don't think the Santa Clause parade would be quite the same. Neither would going to a Leaf's game now that they don't have the old Gardens anymore. Sigh. So many things have changed in my old City, I don't have a whole lot of desire to go there anymore. My sister told me the other day that Sam- from Sam the Record man died- I don't know if you know his store on Younge Street, but that place was like NY Times Square to us, with the big neon record. I didn't know they'd gotten rid of that too.

I have so many great memories of going downtown to Simpsons (before the Eaton's center was built) at Christmas time, seeing all the toys and lights and stuff- do you remember getting Simpson's Catalogues at Christmas? They were as thick as phone books and you could spend hours looking. I liked hockey and went to many games with my folks, but my love was baseball and my dad. That was our special dad/daughter times.

Maybe it's still magical there at Christmas las, and you can still get down there at least once- but for me, that old adage, "you can't go home again' somehow rings so true.

Where DID you grow up if you don't mind me asking?

PS- thanks for making me smile with memories my friend. It's good to remember once in a while. :-)

Growing up in the north in Ontario, there were two things I wanted to do when I was a kid. I wanted to go the the Toronto Santa Clause Parade and see a Leafs game at the same time. I've still yet to do it.

I'm in Ottawa so it's the Sens natch. But even though I was born in a snowbank, on the side of an ice road... in Northern Ontario, I ain't much of a hockey fan. But that's like heresy here... so don't tell anyone.

But you know what... as much as I love America, I wouldn't trade living in Canada (except maybe for the weather). And I really appreciate it much more after having lived in Europe for a number of years. Coming back here was like being able to breathe again. But the weather sure stinks on ice, except for the two weeks we get of summer (I exaggerate). But oddly enough Canada is an oasis of peace in a very crazy world even compared to the US.

But you guys better hurry up and boot the imposter-in-chief out on his ear, or we are all sunk. I hope you and ABiC and all the others get on that... all I can do at this point is cheer youz guyz on from the sidelines.

The Canadiens might be better at hockey, but they still suck. Maple Leafs baby! This is their year! ROFL! Last time they won the cup, I was 2. I think they're due.

AH, the nuances I'll have to learn. Who has the better hockey team that isn't playing this year? Whomever is better, that's where I'll go. No, I would probably pack my 782 gear and move to the wilds of Alaska. I've considered doing that ever since my arctic training. Not many people are tough enough to endure that so I would left in solitude.
