From Personal Responsibility to Socialism in the blink of a Primary
To say that he was for it before he was against it would be an understatement. He was REALLY for it.

(349 posts)As an anti-Romney ad, I just don't feel the impact, and I just don't think it will really go viral. However, it would be a very natural theme for a variation of the ad described in the first post in the thread cited below. In that form, I would suggest a bunch of snippets with Romney taking various positions. Each snippet would end with a keyword or phrase pasted diagonally across the frozen screen. The obvious ones are "Tax", "Mandate", "Penalty", and the awkward "Personal Responsibility". Each of the frozen snippets could be moved to a corner of the screen as the next one starts. That would be the first part of the ad.
The second part would flash the screen "Confused?" in big letters, then start writing below "Maybe this is what Romney REALLY believes:". That would be followed by the pastiche video of Romney saying "Vote for me so that government of the corporations, by the lawyers, for the richest 0.1% of Americans, shall rule the earth!"
