FL Rmoney ad I just saw alleges that Obama will raise middle class taxes by $4000 on each family.

I went to their source link to try to figure out what the ad was talking about, but it was all too confusing to me. Anyone else seen the ad and/or knows what they mean? This was the first time I'd heard any of this garbage.

1. TeamObama already has a counter ad out calling it another LIE.

2. Thanks....I wish there were a way to refute these things as they air. It pisses me off!

3. applegrove just posted the Team Obama ad....it's FANTASTIC! Answered my question completely. *sigh*

4. It is from some convoluted computation

about future (anticipated by Romney) national debt divided by the number of families in the country, if I understand it,
which I may not. But it is not about actual taxes the way it is put forth and is essentially, as usual, dishonest.

5. There needs to be a law against this shit

They need to force political advertisements to be fact checked before they are aired. There is no way they should be allowed to try to trick people like this.

6. Blatent lying is despicable. Yes, there SHOULD be a law.

(Didn't the 'Heels look GREAT today?)

10. Oh yes they did!

I didn't really expect much from them this year but after some bad losses early, they're really showing some strength. There's always been a lot of talent there and maybe Coach Fedora is actually able to bring that out.

7. Frustrated

How do you go against someone who lies and changes positions SO EASILY. No matter what you say, all he has to do is say "no I don't" and the media goes along with it.

The other day S. Cutter was talking about Romney's position on abortion with Wolf Blitzer. She said he was against it even in the case of rape and incest, wolf interrupted her and said "but that's not his latest position"..... His LATEST position, he said. I understand moving to the center, but Romney could have 3 positions in 1 day (ex healthcare), and the media acts as if the last statement is gospel, and he couldn't have possibly meant the other 2. Romney will say 1 thing and his campaign CONSISTENTLY comes up behind him and say "he didn't mean that"?

Look, I get that it's Obama's job to point some of these things out, but what the heck is the media's job. I feel like this is how we ended up in Iraq.

Anyone else share my frustration?

9. It seems apparent that the GOP and it's followers don't REALLY care about any of the issues.

The only thing they want is to get the black guy out of the White House. It makes NO difference what Rmoney says or doesn't say, they will vote for him anyway. None of them want to find solutions to the problems we face as a nation.

It is more than frustrating to me....it's sickening. These republican leaders are some of the worst examples of what happens when democracy is stunted by bigotry and hate...when education of the masses becomes low in the pecking order...and when religious fanatics are allowed to control the airwaves.

How could we have let our political system get so out of hand? One would think we'd have evolved to a higher intellectual level, but that's clearly not the case.

11. I can't wait for this election to be over.

My faith in humanity sinks further each day.
