Take a look at this 28-minute video that shows who Mitt Romney really is.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/01/12/anti-romney_movie_by
_pro-gingrich_pac_when_mitt_romney_came_to_town.html


He makes Gordon Gekko look like Santa Claus.

Oh and for those who think that this is a Obama/Democratic hatchet job, guess again!
This video was produced by Pro-Gingrich PAC, a republican entity.

Makes you stop and think doesn't it?

I like The Daily Show's take on it, with the great Leonard Nimoy narrating:

Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

America loves a winner!


“In July 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner at Bain Capital, had disappeared,” the story reads. “She had attended a rave party in New York City and gotten high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught father had no idea where she was. Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to help find Gay’s daughter. Romney set up a command center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to assist with the search. He established a toll-free number for tips, coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York and asked them to help find his friend’s missing daughter. Romney’s accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper. Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and talked with everyone they could – prostitutes, drug addicts – anyone.

“That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured photos of the girl and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, a teenage boy phoned in, asked if there was a reward, and then hung up abruptly. The NYPD traced the call to a home in New Jersey, where they found the girl in the basement, shivering and experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a massive ecstasy dose.

Doctors later said the girl might not have survived another day. Romney’s former partner credits Mitt Romney with saving his daughter’s life, saying, ‘It was the most amazing thing, and I’ll never forget this to the day I die.’”

Seriously, can anyone look at Obama and see him doing anything remotely like this ?

Not a chance in hell.

Yeah, back when Newt was getting steam rolled by Mitt, he was livid. No surprise that he tried to counter with something derogatory on Mitt. Now ? Newt's all in with Mitt, so any video is now moot.

You really believe that good old Gingrich suddenly kisses the ground Mitt walks on. Obviously a deal was struck, Sectretary of State Gingrich has a nice republican smell to it, doesn't it?

I don't think it erases anything, it merely changes the landscape a bit. Mitt is a super-capitalist, who has claimed that HE will create 12 million jobs in 4 years. Maybe he'll reopen those plants he closed down raking in millions for his pals, imagine him calling American workers lazy and yet now he claims to have the know-how to create millions of jobs.

If that were true, why doesn't he do that now? Not only will that turn the economy around, but he would be a hero and it would all but guarantee his seat in the White House. Don't you think that if anyone had a real solution, especially if they were running for the top prize, that they would implement the plan gaining the admiration of millions of workers? Don't you think that person would be carried on the shoulders of the masses directly to Washington?
Or is that a moot point as well?

No, Romney hasn't got a clue. His campaign is strictly I'm the anti-Obama. Seriuosly, is that all you got?

Funny. Despite 2 auto biographies ( yeah, right ) written by Obama, the MSM completely ignored who this guy was.

And yet, we get this tripe , about the REAL Mitt Romney ? Seriously?

????????????????????????????????????Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the hell is this? Ok, I'm confused? Yes, Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose sound somewhat confused as well. Could it be that this video is severely edited to make it look like they don't know what they're talking about. Ok, am I on candid camera? Have you been playing with your Faux News Channel MSM Freeddestructo-kit again?

Wait, this seems to be from before he was elected president back in 2008, right before Fox News developed that nasty case of jaundice. So that explains it. Still though what the hell does this have to do with my contribution to this little shindig known as RWED.

Mr. Auraptor, over here, we're all by home plate. Come on in from left field. OOooo, I'm sorry! Right field.

Well, of course - it's Rappyland logic. Newt's video doesn't "count".... but that tired old Brokaw clip is somehow still, like, ultra-relevant, even out of context.


Note to anyone - Please pity the poor, poor wittle Rappyboy. He's feeling put upon lately, what with all those facts disagreeing with what he believes.

Will wonders never cease. Mitt actually stopped counting his money long enough to move heaven and earth to help a human in need.

Wait a minute, that needy human being was his partner. You're kidding right! Of course he's going to help one of his cronies. This was his partner in crime and you know the old saying "thick as thieves," so I would think that he was duty-bound to help find his homeboy's daughter. This was no ordinary John Q from Oshkosh, Wisconsin......this was a partner of the firm.

You had me scared there for a split.......you actually had me doubting his total disdain for normal humans. Phew!, close one. But it makes you think as to why a 14 year-old girl would go to such lengths to desenitize herself. Rich folk.

Shiny, things Raptor puts up don't HAVE to have anything to do with the thread; they just have to seem somehow to diss Obama or be positive about Romney so he can say "But Obama..."

I don't get that video either; I started to watch it, but it seemed to be more about the two speakers than anything about Obama, and yes, it obviously WAS from before he was elected. So essentially, it's irrelevant, just the first thing Raptor could get his hands on to say "See? See?", even if it has nothing to do with anything.

Just like holding up Romney as a "hero" for working to find his partner's daughter. Also has nothing to do with the thread. Pretty much his M.O.

You know something Niki, I often forget that there are those who inhale rather deeply and lose touch with the rest of us humans.

Much like the comedy duo - Ryan and Romney - who don't even bother to cover up the fact that they're talking out the sides of their mouths. They apparently follow the teachings of P.T. Barnum, who once said "there a sucker born every minute." Truer words have not been spoken.

It's a shame that people have lost almost all sense independent thinking.

Yep. Sort'a like Candidate Hillary Clinton.

Woman 1: I was very insulted by Barack Obama.

Man 1 (w/ Woman 3): It just shows how out of touch Barack Obama is.

Woman 2: I'm not clinging to my faith out of frustration and bitterness. I find that my faith is very uplifting.

Man 2: The good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said.

Woman 1: Hillary does understand the citizens of Pennsylvania better.

Woman 3: Hillary Clinton has been fighting for people like us her whole life.

Announcer: He's attacking Hillary’s plan to give you a break on gas prices because he doesn’t have one.

Man: The price of gas is going up.

Woman: It’s hard to fill up the tank.

Announcer: Hillary wants the oil companies to pay for the gas tax this summer – so you don’t have to.

Announcer: Barack Obama wants you to keep paying; $8 billion in all. Hillary is the one who gets it.

Man: Hillary Clinton is the candidate that's going to fight for working people.

Clinton (voiceover): I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.

You could. And I could probably find stuff Edwards, Biden, etc. said about Obama during the 2008 primary.

It'd just support my point that politicians - of both parties - who have the knives out for their opponents during the primaries tend to fall into line when the general election comes around.

It's funny / sad to see you WISH that this video was heavily edited , to convey something which these 2 " journalists " didn't actually mean to say.

They said it. If it alters your perception of reality so much, I suggest you look at it again.

Then take the red pill.

I warn you, though. Once you see the light, there's no going back.
