"When Mitt Romney Came to Town" - the one good thing Sheldon Adelson has given us



Many of you may have already seen this, but given the news over the last few weeks I think it is worth another watch. I believe this is the most devastating attack ad against Mitt Romney that has been released yet in this campaign, and surprisingly it was released by Newt Gingrich and his then top financial backer Sheldon Adelson. This is most definitely not the type of video you would expect from Gingrich, in fact it reminds me in many ways of a Michael Moore documentary. The first twenty seconds may pay lip service to capitalism, but the rest of the video is a take down of the predatory capitalism practiced by Mitt Romney that must be seen.

What is especially ironic is the main financial backer of this video is now the top financial backer of the Mitt Romney campaign. Sheldon Adelson is going to spend millions defending Romney from the attacks on Bain that went mainstream as a result of this video that he himself funded.

This is a great video, and the fact that it was funded by Mitt Romney's own top backer makes it even better.

I am downloading it as I write this. Its not so much what he did at Bain Capital. Technically that all was legal. But I contend that we simply do not want this type of character in the Oval Office as the President.
Somewhere I saw a sociopath checklist. Rmoney qualifies as a sociopath and should not be supported in any way for any thing.
