Rick Santorum Santorum now claiming he is a veteran

[nedomedo]

That video is like the distilled version of generic political videos with all the hype and no substance. Catchy music? Check. Holding a baby? Check. Generic picture of working blue collar Americans? Check. If this were in a movie describing his rise to power, the next scene would flash forward 4 years where he's in a dark office, after becoming a ruthless dictator, presiding over a warn-torn country...

You forgot Holding a Football? check

You forgot Holding a Football? check

Can you imagine Santorum playing organized football? He isn't qualified to be water boy.

Dude, you can't say that. The fact that the media supports these opposing candidates is basically like having unlimited millions in free advertising money. How much do you think it costs for Rush Limbaugh to say he would vote for Santorum? That is possibly millions of votes. Ron Paul is handicap in this race, give him a break!

The fact RP and/or his campaign advised him to not go on these "media" shows earlier last year, is part of the problem.
Don't complain of a "blackout" or "bias" (even though there clearly is), when the campaign and RP has been invited on programs an IGNORED the invites.

Say what you will about the idiot media, but if you are invited on the LARGEST network news show, and ignore/decline the invite; there are some seriously stupid problems at the campaign.

We complain they aren't fair (they aren't), we complain they aren't balanced (they aren't), but we should also expect more from a campaign that raised millions to "win Iowa, New Hampshire" etc., and doesn't have a 1st next to their name yet.

I have said it before, and I will say it again. It makes no sense to ignore an invite to the LARGEST "news" show on tv, but complain about lack of coverage, then want money to run ads on the same network for 30 seconds to 1 minute, when at least by going on the show you have free face time to the audience that doesn't cost $$$$$$$$ and would probably be at least a 3-5 minute interview, if not more.
Even if RP went in scripted, with one answer the whole time, it would be better than not going at all...which is what they have done so far.

somebody send this to the Romney people if we aren't gonna use it.

I'm already working on something, but nothing effective as what a Romney PAC destroying him for this could do.

Think Swift Boat Vets, times 100.

 

[anaconda]

This is so utterly deceitful that this IN ITSELF is worthy of a huge attack ad!!!!

Mittens should have an ad that says something like: "I don't lie about my lack of military service and Rick Santorum shouldn't either..." or something like that...

 

[anaconda]

Rick Santorum = Veteran Scum Bag

 

[freedoms-light]

It's like saying you were President, but leave out " of the Neighborhood Association "that should have followed it.

 

[Lord Xar]

Someone mentioned this on dougs facebook already. Maybe someone can email him about it too. Paerhaps bring it up on maddow

 

[DisabledVet]

No one worry about this. We've got it covered....

Dare he step over the line.... we shall be waiting for him on the other side.

I also noticed that the only word that is smaller is "ON" it's a typical suggestion/sobconcious/brainwashing. The only thing people will see is "Served 8 years armed services" Sick SIck SICK!!!! the longer this goes, the more it's apparent that Ricky is scum

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

Man does this guy remind you of the stunts Ed Rollins and Mike Huckabee played upon the people in 2008?

Crooks and Liars... this guy Frothy Santorum takes the cake. Manipulation and Deception is his game continuously. What the hell is all this TEA PARTY support twisting by the very clown who called the Tea Party, "RADICALS"? This clown says he was part of it in 2009... that must of been the "NEW DECEPTION" when he covered the Tax Day TEA PARTY PROTESTS, when he was a paid meat puppet for FAUX/FOX NEWS CORP.

 

[cindy25]

send this to veterans organizations, and let them make it an issue.

hurts Santorum far more

 

[low preference guy]

so when is this self-written attack ad going to air?

Rev9

 

[WD-NY]

at least santorum is putting out new ads that focus on...wait for it... ELECTABILITY and JOBS

oh, and he was in Washington State yesterday, Idaho today and North Dakota tomorrow.

Where's Ron again?

 

[happyphilter]

send this to veterans organizations, and let them make it an issue.

Exactly. Thos who have served will find this outright offensive. My dad saw this and was not too pleased.

Someone could make, grassroots, a nice attack video - then we can have a Facebook Ad campaign targeting armed services/veterans in key states.. The ad MUST be short.. show this segment of his video -- call out the discreptancies THEN file down the long laundry list of things he supports (the list that is on redstate/daily paul),, call out a few in the the ad then have the rest running top to bottom underneath.

I am sure some of our more talented video people can bust this out in a day.
