DNC announces new bus tour to stalk Romney



Posted by
CNN Political Unit

(CNN) – The Democratic National Committee is rolling out another bus tour to trail Mitt Romney's own over the weekend through key battle ground states, harping on the Republican candidate's economic policies as throwing "the middle class under the bus."

The DNC tour will last for four days and make stops in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio between Friday and Monday starting in Alexandria, Virginia on Friday at 9:30 a.m. ET, according to their announcement.

The bus debuted Thursday parked, as a not-so-subtle jab, outside the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington. The tour, called "Romney Economics: The Middle Class Under the Bus," will mirror Romney's travel plans over the weekend.

<...>

"Throughout Mitt Romney's career, middle-class families have frequently found themselves thrown under the bus as a result of his failed record and top-down economic policies. When Romney was Governor of Massachusetts, the number of business startups fell by 10 percent and hit its lowest point during his last year in office. Massachusetts ranked 47th out of 50 in job creation, and Romney hiked taxes and fees by $750 million a year in addition to saddling the Commonwealth with the highest debt per person in the country," wrote the DNC in a release about the tour, which also says Romney's economic policies would "erode middle-class security."

1. Oh wow - I love this!

Switzerland - Cayman Islands - Bermuda - sign = CLASSIC!

[cyclezealot]

37. Love this..

This will drive Mittens crazy. Remember the story in Cleveland, where Mitt's bus circled an Obama Speaking event and repeatedly taunted Obama supporters . No one knows for sure Mitt was in the bus or not. But, high Romney campaign staff was, tolerating this childish event.. i say it is our time to taunt Mitt.

2. With a loudspeaker merrily blaring "Mitt pays less, You pay more"

[backscatter712]

3. I approve!

[Scuba]

4. I absolutely approve. We should make sure the bus outdraws Rmoney at EVERY event.

[Spazito]

5. I am LOVING the moves of the Obama campaign!

They are taking it TO Romney and the repubs with a 'no holds barred' attitude!

[JNelson6563]

27. The Chicago Way.

[calimary]

31. Works for me!

Many of us have been exhorting our Dems to heed this lesson - quite literally FOR YEARS.

[Spazito]

33. I laughed out loud as soon as I saw the clip, I didn't even have to play it...

When I read the OP and saw what the Obama campaign is doing, my thoughts went immediately to that scene and Connery's 'advice'. (One of my favorite films, have watched it many times, lol)

[tartan2]

6. Brilliant!!

[Progressive dog]

7. WOW humor and truth

Love it

[Motown_Johnny]

8. I like the plane with the banner at his event in CO.

I wouldn't mind seeing one of those circling every Rmoney event for the next ~90 days.

MoveOn should do this as much as possible.

^snip^

A plane hired by the liberal group MoveOn flew overhead with a banner that read: "Welcome back, Mitt. Now release those returns" before he spoke in Golden, Colorado.

9. Gotta love this.

Its about time we started seeing some of the humor the Democrats have. Of course those blinded by Mitt the Twit and the band of Thugs won't get it.

[rocktivity]

10. Cool! But Where's the "WHERE'S YOUR INCOME TAX RETURNS"?

With the emphasis on "Income."

11. ha ha ha

and they don't even have to honk! Romney and the RNC have already been stalking Obama using that tactic.

The DNC is using a big Foghorn, that doesn't need to make noise.

[ProSense]

12. Question for Mitt:

How does it feel?

Honking while someone is giving a speech is for high school jerks.

What's Mitt going to do complain?

[SunsetDreams]

15. His complaints are like a

boomerang with a torpedo attached to them!

[ProSense]

16. LOL! n/t

[hifiguy]

28. Wile E. Coyote tried that once.

He put a live grenade on a boomerang and threw it at the Road Runner. It returned to Wile E. with predictable results.

[SunsetDreams]

35. LOL

Romney has his own Twiterang, it's special.

[Chorophyll]

13. This is awesome!

I can't express how much I'm enjoying us Dems FINALLY being on the offensive. Love it!

[ejbr]

17. +1 n/t

[Cha]

19. EXACTLY!

[CTyankee]

14. This is inspired!

I must say that the Obama team has been "gettin' down" in this campaign!

[Cha]

20. Donation money..WELL

Spent!

[CTyankee]

32. Getting this stuff out there now is money well spent, indeed!

This cements peoples' impression of Romney and that is all to the good. It'll pay off in the fall. I'm seeing it now in the polls. More voters have their minds made up now than in 08. And I don't think it bodes well for the repubs...

[Aviation Pro]

18. Love the metaphor....

...throwing the middle class under the bus.

Fuck you, Lurch the Fucking Stiff^TM.

[railsback]

21. Will this bus be tailgating right behind Mitt's bus as it goes state to state?

That would be really funny.

[yonder]

22. Damn nice

paint job!!

[patrice]

23. K&R for pure beauty!!!

[Astazia]

24. Way to go DNC!!!!

Gotta love this... Unlike Rmoney's bus that drove around speaking engagement site honking bus horn...why honk when you can drive.

Also...there is more room for passengers on OUR bus since Mittwitt's vehicle only has seats on the right side of the bus.

[hifiguy]

25. Mittwit is gonna blow a gasket.

At which point small gears, sparks and steam will begin shooting from his ears.

Love it, loooooove it!

[Astazia]

29. He (Mittless) is flying from city to city

Got the bus for 'you people' who wanna be V.P. or for staffers (yes, you Andrea) who tell the truth.

[high density]

26. Glad to see the word "offshoring" on the bus

That is the problem.

[ecstatic]

30. Love it! Too bad he won't get to see the bus

He's flying in to every city on his private jet.

[ProSense]

34. Unless

"Love it! Too bad he won't get to see the bus

He's flying in to every city on his private jet"

...he plans to give his speeches in the air, he'll see it.

[freshwest]

36. LOL! Stalking a vulture!

[Citizen Worker]

38. Just curious. Why aren't the democrats talking about the poor and the homeless? After all it's the

slave trade agreements that has eviscerated the middle class and made us poor. And that was a bi-partisan effort just like the Trans Pacific Partnership will be another bi-partisan stab in the back to the working class.

[PrBelvr]

39. I love it

I hope the Obama campaign and the Super PACS are unrelenting with Mitts. If there ever was a case for Welfare reform it is with the poster boy of the 1%. They need to keep dogging him and pounding the media with the truth. This guy is a tax cheat, a scum bag and whatever negative you want to throw on him. I am sick and tired of the likes of Mitt Romney who feel they are entitled while the rest of us pay for the services our government provide. ENOUGH!!!
