Mitt Romney calls Democratic attacks over Bain ‘really off-target’

In an interview with Hot Air's Ed Morrissey, the presumptive Republican nominee denounced an ad launched this week by the Obama campaign that suggested Romney played a role in the closing of a Missouri steel mill, calling the spot "really off target" and a "distraction."

You know an ad is working when a campaign can't leave it alone.

1. They aren't hard to defend.

Just point out that Obama has a Bain Capital alumn working for his administration. Romney really sucks at politics.

6. Just because someone who consulted for Bain Capital...

...works for the Obama Administration doesn't mean jack-s**t. That's exactly the same bizarre guilt-by-association, faulty causation nonsense people try to use to vilify President Obama as a Wall Street puppet--because he has ex-Goldman Sachs consultants working for him. That's quite a stretch. I once hired a guy at the music store I managed that was on the road crew for Ozzie Osborn. Does that mean I bite the heads off of bats?

That's why the Romney camp isn't bringing it up; because it's a stupid and meaningless argument.

7. You're right.

Obama hasn't loaded his administration with Wall Street types like Geitner, Zients and Immelt. What was I thinking?

8. Who else would know the terrain...

...an economics professor?

And AGAIN, just because he has people in his administration who used to work on Wall Street means NOTHING in and of itself. You're skipping quite a few steps to the nefarious conclusion you imply.

9. Hell, I used to work in the oil industry. I guess that kills my creds as a tree hugger.

Not everyone who worked on Wall Street is evil. They bring much knowledge to the table.

11. I used to work for a big insurance company.

Guess that puts me in the pocket of Big Insurance.

13. Oh, now you've done it!

You're going to hell for sure now, Bucko!

10. Romney daren't even mention Bain by name. His only supposed strength is actually his

biggest weakness.

You should listen to even more Fox News and report back with more of their propaganda. I can't stand their right wing fantasy BS myself.

It's not hard to see which party is for Wall Street and which is for Main Street; you just have to realize that one party stands for rape-and-pillage capitalism while the other stands for a fair REGULATED market. The amusing thing is, even many on Wall Street agree that a REGULATED market is better for the economy than the free for all the Greed Over People party wants.

12. Why don't you put your advice for Mitt in a memo and send it to him maybe they'll hire you.

2. Distracted by the truth

3. Tweety said he was avoiding the rest of the press today.

You betcha it's working.

4. Romney's "job creation" at Bain Capital is like

taking 50 arrows and shooting them willy-nilly ... after you're done, you paint targets around a few and hype your bulls-eyes ... ignoring the rest that barely hit the ground (and that was only due to gravity).

14. He is to blame and should be slacked all the way to November

with BANE. He did more than his fair share of job killing and life destroying while working for BANE.
