How f***ing patronizing is that RNC ad

[Laurian]

that says, "he tried, you tried, it's okay to make a change". It pisses me off every time I see it!

1. Yeah, it's annoying as hell

and running on a lot on cable news channels that I monitor all day while I work.

It really sums up the only hope the RNC and Romney have (that people will vote anti-Obama) because Repubs have no answers or any new ideas.

It's not going to work. Elections are a choice and hardly anybody likes Romney and his tired old ideas that will basically be Bush 2.0.

2. I agree and think the DNC should create a 180 degree ad.

They should take the same words, but when the RNC ad give a negative stat they should give the positive. As an example, when they states the number of unemployment being over 8% for so many months the ad needs to replace that by stating the 100s of thousands of jobs created. Another would be how the Republican majority in the House has blocked each and every plan the president has put forth, how the Republican minority in the Senate filibusters the presidents plans. End with a similar we tried the Republican way for 8 years, we tried giving the tea party a chance, it's okay to make a change, now give Obama a fair chance and elect a congress which will work with President Obama instead of working against him as their ONLY goal.

I realize the RNC, Romney and their Super-Pacs have more money and raise more money but this is an ad which need to be disputed. There may not be enough money for a one for one viewing but I am tired of seeing these without a defense.

8. I also think there should be more pushback

on Repub obstructionism. Every time they try to make it look like it's all Obama's fault that the economy is weak remind voters who blocked the American Jobs Act.

3. Sounds like a Viagra ad. disgusting. n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Wish you'd post the video of the ad. I live in a state where Rmoney's win is a

given and there aren't any presidential ads running.

5. Here it is:

It was reported that this was poll-tested and proven most effective among women who voted for Obama last time. I see the ad like every 10 minutes.

14. I hadn't seen that one.

Karl Rove's American Crossroads/New Majority horseshit is airing here, but not the RNC ad, that I have seen.

16. I live in NY state and see it probably 10 times a day. I HATE it. n/t

6. Jonathan Capehart discusses the ad in this article

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/its-not-ok-to-ignore-this-pro-romney-ad/2012/07/25/gJQA7qvV9W_blog.html

While the argument is that it gives permission for previous Obama voters to defect, I see it as an insult to my judgement. All depends on the strength of your convictions, I guess.

7. I was JUST reading that exact article! n/t

10. The DNC should make that their response to neutralize the RNC ad.

[TeamPooka]

11. they can have it for free...

[TeamPooka]

12. #wontchangeback - new twitter hashtag

make it trend

[Jane Austin]

13. I keep wondering why they're showing it non-stop in Texas.

Do they know something I don't know?

[Freddie]

15. Yes!! And they play it on MSNBC all the time

My first thought was "well, we were open-minded and gave the black guy a chance, and sorry he couldn't cut it." Very subtly patronizing and yes, racist.
And like all the Romney ads--what are YOU going to do to make things better? Crickets.

[applegrove]

17. I'm trying to identify the empty feeling i am left with every time I see that ad. Infantalization

comes to mind.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

18. MSNBC plays it ad nauseam...

I have a hundred retorts as do many others watching it. They got nothing!!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

19. You mean how f***ing RACIST is that RNC ad. We're not stupid, though. We're still going for Obama

95+ percent.
