Romney Crying Uncle as Pro-Obama Super Pac Launches New TV Ad "Scrap Steel"

[SunsetDreams]

Here’s the new ad, which Priorities says will run as part of “a $20 million television and online project to educate voters about Mitt Romney’s business record and their impact on middle class families.” The ad is not on TV yet, but Priorities told TPM the ad “has been shipped to stations.” http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/pro-obama-super-pac-launches-new-tv-ad

1. Yep. "We were just a means to an end."

A couple of more dollars in their pockets they didn't even need.

2. huff po just posted it as well

Unbowed by the backlash sparked by its last ad, the Obama-allied super PAC Priorities USA Action is up with yet another spot, again focusing attention on Mitt Romney's tenure at Bain Capital.

Unlike the previous ad, which tied Bain's closure of the GST Steel factory to the death of a worker's wife six years later, this spot steers clear of such explosive insinuations. But it does have similar attributes, including a GST worker describing Romney as a heartless capitalist.

That plant was my life, I mean, my livelihood… It fed me as a kid and fed my whole family as an adult. I depended on that plant, and I felt like it depended on me. Romney and Bain, they were businessmen, they had no idea how to make steel. They knew how to make money. They used us just like we were the scrap steel that we melted, you know, we were just a means to an end.

3. I think it's a great ad

By outrageously attacking the other ad, I think Romney and his surrogates hoped to discredit the Bain story. If you can discredit one part of it, it might raise questions about the whole. They are sadly mistaken, there is a whole skeleton closet full on Bain.
