Romney has gotten a lot of heat the last few days for unveiling a TV ad where he willfully and shamelessly uses an out of context quote from Obama to make a point unrelated to the point Obama was making. Romney quotes Obama saying "If the election is about the economy, we lose." The full quote of what Obama said was from 2008 "John McCain says, and I quote, 'If the election is about economy, we lose."
It made we wonder, what would the Romney Campaign do if they had to produce a TV commercial against Mitt Romney. And that made me think it is time to produce a Super PAC TV commercial that shows the following:
:60 TV Spot
Text Graphic: "What if the Mitt Romney Campaign made a TV ad against Mitt Romney?"
(now cut to a series of highly edited news footage where Romney appears to say outrageous, misleading things)
“”I'm MItt Romney and I support... raising taxes...big government...state-run health care...”
(all of the above and below use actual Mitt Romney audio and video edited together in a way that looks like it is from a single clip, and yet is obviously spliced together in an out of context manner.)
“I'm Mitt Romney and I favor...promiscuity... unemployment...the wealthy...and class warfare”
“Vote for me and I will take care of...big corporations...”
“Sure, I'd like... five...wives...but for Pete’s sake, I'm running for president."
Closing graphic that asks people to help stop Mitt Romney, the name of the organization and the website and asks people to donate money to buy more airtime.
(Production notes) The ad must be wildly over the top and incredibly funny. It should be something that all mainstream political reporters and bloggers want to show and talk about and give a favorable review claiming "Romney had it coming"
I’m thinking of starting a small Super Pac to produce and air a commercial like this to stir the pot in the GOP race. Or perhaps partnering with an existing Super Pac or 527.
Does anyone here at Daily Kos think this is a good idea? Bad idea? Ideas for improving an ad like this? I know most on our side don’t like the idea of Super Pac money but are we really going to sit out next year? Please let me hear your feedback.
