Fox News fakes a "the Romneys are just regular folks" spot.

http://video.foxnews.com/v/1804962414001/the-romneys-at-home/

If you can stomach it watch this propaganda piece and spot the edits and lies.

:45 pancakes on the grill ........ :50 to 1:25 no pancakes on the grill ...... 1:30 pancakes back on the grill
can you say "retake that shot?" BTW look how staged that kitchen counter and the people in the picture
are ..... you can almost see the tape marks on the floor so the actors can hit their spots.



5:00 Ann can spot a phony .....

6:37 There is going to be a lot of cuts that people are not going to like. (the truth)

7:40 "That is why we are running to ..." aka we want to help the middle class.

Other good ones; Ann and Mitt shop Costco and they have no staff to help keep up their
New Hampshire lake home.

Pravada would have been proud of this piece of propaganda.

Give me a break - there's no way that asshole will pass the "common folk" test. He literally is the very definition of the out of touch elitist they tried to paint Kerry as in 2004.

Who really thinks that they don't have maids, landscapers, and cooks on staff.

I am a landscaper and no way in hell do you keep up grounds like that w/ out
help or working it full time.

what a selfish bastard. When he laughed at the story, I almost threw up. This man is truly one unlikeable character.

I never liked GWB but Rmoney makes my skin crawl.
