“We’ve heard it all before”

“We’ve heard it all before.” Been there, done that: Romney ad shows Obama recycling 2008 speeches. To paraphrase Yogi Berra, “It’s deja-puke all over again.”

  • A fiend of mine has been blowing up Facebook with a zillion support Obama ads and articles and comments. Some of the comments were IDENTICAL to ours; "how come they can see the facts right before their eyes and STILL not get it. " How did this country's politicians gt to be such scumbag that no one know WHO is telling the truth, the partial truth, or the out and out lies?

  • I looked at this from a serious perspective. This shows me that the GOP is FINALLY willing to hit Obama and the Dems HARD. I keep seeing Alinsky-esque techniques popping up all over the place. Polarizing Obama and Biden (and DWS), using the MOST powerful weapon of ridicule, and making them live up to their own book of rules (or words).

    I am not happy that we have to sink to this level, but I am glad to see that we are not just McCaining in the corner, letting them get the upper hand. I am enjoying this too, because the conservatives are so much smarter, and the messages are much more subtle, but they just resonate like the ripples of a stone tossed in a lake. :)

    • All is fair in love and war, and this is definitely a war. I've been advocating punching these suckers below the belt just like they do since it became obvious that clean fighting ain't gonna work with this bunch. Rules for Radicals has been their ops manual for decades. Its about time the right studied it and smashed it in their faces.

    • Robama? Maybe he should be a movie star. i can see it now. Robama vs. Godzilla. Robama lays no much BS on Godzilla he sinks to the bottom of Tokyo Bay never to be heard from again. Robama earns another Nobel Peace Prize. But gets fined by the Japanese EPA for $500 million for polluting.

        • They can keep the teleprompter just off camera otherwise they will have to write his lines as "I er ah um ah ah ah I I I, wait a minute now, ah ah, listen Bush er er er Goddilla, ah ah ah."

  • His Geniusship can refute this easily. O's been campaigning non-stop since 2007. Diligently I might add - breaks only for expensive vacations and golf. So it's not recycled per se, it has just never stopped. A constant, eye-glazing, never-ending malodorous chant.

  • Everything except if I don't turn this economy around it will be a one term Presidency. One-n-Done you lying POS.

  • Oh God that's just too much! No, really.
    Oh good, that it is a campaign ad already.
    How monumental an ago do you need to plagiarize YOURSELF?!?!?

    Oops,is "plagiarize" coded racist do-whistling yet?
