Mitt Romney’s campaign is running a contest asking people to create political ads using material found at his campaign website. Slate V took them up on the challenge, knocking one out of the park with their ad — Five Brothers. (short advertisement at the beginning) Poor Mitt will never live this one down…

greater love hath no man then to sacrifice his life scraggling up votes for the old man!
Jesus Christ! The Osmonds are running for the White House!!
Classic sacrifices by the elite’s of this country. And yes Mitt your are one of the elite’s.
You vote for a Republican, you are voting for 4 more years of George Bush.
I think the message is lost half way through. There should be more images of our soldiers, like with a IED going off on one of their hummers while the looser is talking about pulling over so he can see the fireflies.
Romney and 5 looser children. I’d hate to see them get a bee sting on those country drives.
I wish this could be run all over Iowa. Tremendous
They listen to Romneys bullshit over here so that we don’t have to. Those brave young boys.
All of the Republican candidates scare the SHIT out of me.
Am I alone in this? I feel like if any of these clowns become president, we are heading into a deep, dark chapter of American history… potentially sending us the way of the romans….
Romney was hoisted by his own petard.
Bravo!
Bootmaker to Bush and Fox jailed in US AP - Sat Sep 22, 12:10 AM ET
GUANAJUATO, Mexico - A bootmaker to world leaders, including President Bush and Vicente Fox, is in a Colorado jail, charged with money laundering and conspiring to illegally smuggle the skins of protected animals into the U.S. to provide exotic footwear for high-end clients.
Captain America @ 7:
No, you are not alone in feeling this way. Giuliani is the one that scares the shit out of me!
Captain America @ 7:
We Already are in the deep dark chapter, It makes me wonder just what it was that ‘god’ said to bush when he supposedly talked to him.
We are in the bowels of the darkness spread by the church’s…
Captain America @ 7:
No you are not alone. I’m 62 and I can’t remember anytime being like this and I hope another repug isn’t elected. This country can not afford it.
Isn’t it great to see these youg men devoting their lives to our great democracy.
Sarcasm!

And naturally, he’s the wingnut’s favorite.
vickif @ 12:
True, I turn 70 in two weeks and I can’t remember a worse time for our country … and it has all happened on bush’s (lower case intended) watch
Captain America @ 7:
Right on !! Scary, isn’t it? You are not alone!! I have been thinking more and more about a decline , not just a “temporary down period”. Too much money wasted, too many preventable deaths and injuries, and the long tem effect will be immeasureable and staggering to the reasonable mind!!
Why is everyone upset with the Dems for not being able to pass anything in the Senate. They have a minimal majority– not to mention right-wing, jackass Lieberman–!! How can they get anything through if the Repugs votes no? The Repugs are still quick-stepping with Bush and Cheney!!
Apparently, this ad pretty much made itself.
I was expecting the damning material to mostly come from clever edits, but then Romney himself not once, but multiple times, equates what his sons are doing to a great sacrifice.
So, the Little Mitts, or are they the Mittlings, are just as narcissistic, vapid, and self-centered as their dad. Who’da thunk it?
I guess there’s one big improvement. I don’t see a giant doghouse on the roof of the campaign Winnebago.
A lady writer in my local newspaper said the difference in Europe and the USA is in Europe the politicians fear the people. Here the people fear the government
In Europe, the politicians fear the people.
In America, the politicians laugh at the people.
cybernaut @ 19:
we must change that soon
Captain America @ 7:
No, you are not alone. I am so thankful that we have the internets, so us like-minded folks can communicate.
Romney doesn’t even have a passing acquaintance with moral fiber, Thompson is too lazy to even pander to the base (thank goodness), and Giuliani is less bright and just as conniving as Dubya.
What scares me is that more than the batshit 25% core crazies will vote for the clowns, just because they are Republicks. “I won’t vote for a Democrat, but I’ll vote for another authoritarian idiot, you betcha!”
Eww, vaguely creepy…
Cardinal @ 16:
Agreed, though what I am pissed about is that they are allowing the Republicks to frame everything, and letting them get away with the obstructionist bullshit without pushing it into the public eye.
They need to hire some really good Marketing people, and beat the GOoPers at their own damned game. I want a FIGHT, goddammit!
Band of wankers.
This definitely needed scenes of soldiers dealing with everyday misery of life in Iraq with a split screen of these morons talking about fireflies.
From those of us with slow connections, thankyou so much for providing Quicktime and Wmp versions of the clip.
Much appreciated!
Chilax, kids. Romney is doing the exact opposite of the Chiminator in 2000. W. ran on whole bullshit ‘compassionate conservative’ deal and went Neocon batshit crazy once he took the oath. Mitt is acting all social conservative, I-eat-Gitmo-prisoners-for-lunch to show the Dobson dick-sucking crowd how tough he is. I’ll wager he’ll go back to his real self either after he drops out, or, and I really don’t want this to happen, when he becomes president.
I would like to see an ad repeatedly showing the scene with Romney saying “They have kids,” (as if that’s some big sacrifice for them to leave the kids), and alternate it with scenes of kids crying at soldiers’ funerals, or kids hugging their daddies and mommies goodbye as they head out for their frickin’ fourth or fifth tour in Iraq.
Awwww, look, all warm and fuzzy inside, they filmed fireflies on their campaign. Barf!
cybernaut @ 19:
Actually, this was a line in Sicko. Wonder which came first?
Maybe his sons can own and manage Mega-Gitmo when he’s president….lol…president romney…..i slightly vomitted in my mouth.
This Machine Kills Fascists @ 24:
I agree with you about fighting the Repugs and out-smarting them at their own game! Hiring a marketing group of effective people too get their message out to the public loud and clear is a must!! Something has to be done and soon!!
When I see and listen to the Bushies/ Cheneyies regurgitate their messages of lies and deceptions over and over again, it nauseates me and then angers me!!
call me bloodthirsty, but I don’t think this vid is ‘all that’
Value for value. Forever.

I sure hope mitt wins…with all the sacrifices his brave, courageous, and loyal sons are putting on the line for him. Truly, this deserves to be shown to all of America so they can see just what our repug neocons are sacrificing for our country. I am so proud of them!!
Honest to God, these repugs have no shame!!!!

I think Mitt’s boys are very courageous. It’s not every man who would take so much time off from work, leaving his wife and family to live off his family’s wealth, to take to the road with his brothers visiting odd tourist attractions, hitting the driving range, attending cookout and beer socials, having their lives constantly archived on film, just to offer support to their father’s campaign for president. Their sacrifice is noble. Others shed blood, but these boys shed their corporate attire. They have to piss and shit in a tiny, cramped RV toilet for chrissakes!
Brittney has her whiney boi fan, but who’s going to cry for Mitt’s boys? WHO?
worth
Bangkok-Bob @ 11:
Ya, bout God talking to Bush.
God is love and Satan is a deceiver who does a pretty good imitation of the Creator.
That is unless it was just W with the shakes after a binge.
wich the douchbag or bill mahers
jesus every bodys scared shitless ,
saturday night live still blows chunks~
Romney calling in the boys…”here pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy”.
tyree, you drinkin’ again? :wink:
“Poor Mitt”? You have to be kidding.
Romney is a Fraud.
That was so white bread I almost threw up. Wait a minute I talked to soon. Excuse me.
(_(_) @ 45:
are you>
the romneys are so vacuous, they’ll miss the satire of this ad and pick it to win.
tyree @ 48:
sen d me a big pepsi coler
We dont need no stinkin War Bonds, we got a trust fund!
Democrats back off of anything that Repugs and their MSM minions jump out in front of and frame with their vapid talking points . Yet MoveOn.org’s support has skyrocketed since their Petraus ad . The moral ? If the Dems haven’t the balls to communicate the majority’s wishes, then the majority should communicate the message themselves .
