Can you imagine, using Romney's own record of vulture capitalism against him?! It's just soooo horrible. Don't you people know how wealthy Mitt is? That's gotta count for something! Besides, he's unemployed, so it's like you're kicking a guy when he's down, trying to get a job so he can better himself. Why do Democrats HATE the unemployed?

Dear RNC: The above whiny excuses are offered free for the taking. You don't have to pay me or nothing.

If this is ALL they have. And even if Obama wasn't born in Hawaii, (which he was) did he turn our country over to Kenya? I hope they choose this road. Keep up with the Bain ads. They brought Rmoney down with Kennedy using these ads.

A pastor who went too far and caused the Obamas to leave his congregation, vs a lifetime as an 80s movie villain at Bain and other firms.

I can't see the difference at all.

He was a bishop in the Mormon Church. In that role, he threatened a single woman with excommunication if she didn't give up her baby, and tried to block a woman from having an abortion for medical reasons (she had a medical condition, other church officials had already approved the procedure because it was necessary to save her life, but that wasn't good enough for Romney...)

Either directly through the Romney campaign or through "non-involvement" with a PAC. Every negative thing that happened under Bush is pretty much being fixed by Obama - the numbers for everything one can make political hay about are going the way people want them to go. Maybe it's not happening fast enough for some, but it is happening so any economic issue Romney wants to hit Obama with, Obama will just smile and throw out current figures. All that's left in their arsenal (and the weapon they want to use the most anyway) is, "He's a scary Black man!"
