New Obama Super PAC Ad: Mitt Romney killed a steelworker's wife

[KingpinOG]

The ad is misleading and attempts to paint a direct correlation to Bain closing the place where Joe Soptic worked and his wife's death.
The ad glosses over the timeline and some important facts though.
Soptic lost his job in 1999, his wife had her own insurance from her own job, Soptic got a job as a janitor after bing laid off, his wife worked at her own job until 2003 when she quit due to a rotator cuff injury, in 2006 she started feeling ill and after visiting a doctor found out she had stage 4 cancer and died not long after.
Also Romney was not running the day to day operations of Bain when the factory closed.

Exactly. CNN factchecked this ad and it is filled with lies.

Unfortunately, Obama cannot run on his record so he is trying to scare voters. These type of vicious ads appeal to the uneducated, low information voters that make up the base of the Democrat party..... people like VictorVonDoom and ThaReal.

lol you are such a partisan little fukk

Whats partisan? Everything I wrote is factual and a cursory review of any reputable new site will show that. Just because you can't deal with divergent viewpoints like an adult due to your stanning for Obama speaks more to your own partisanship than mine.

If this dude really lost his job than the correlation is correct. If he lost his Job and therefore was unable to give his wife crucial health insurance as a result of this loss, it is true.

Mitt Romney fired a bunch of people and ruined their lives so he could extract the value from the businesses

If had not been "layed off", would he have had insurance?

His wife had her own insurance for 4 years after he lost his job, he had another job by then, she didn't get diagnosed with cancer until 7 years after the factory closed. Explain how this is all laid at Romney's feet?

He had another job at the time his wife died, why isn't it the fault of that employer that he had either no or insufficient health insurance?
And even after being layed off his wife had her own insurance until she left that job. And the ad makes it seem as if his losing his job and his wife's death happened in a short time span which is not true at all.

This is a play right of Rove's playbook. Love it. I'm glad the Dems finally learned to play the game.

I saw the welfare ad and it is also a misleading ad aimed at the angry white voter who sees welfare and immediately flies into a rage but that doesn't change the fact that this ad is even shyttier because its only purpose is to try and plant the seed in voters minds that Romney indirectly caused this woman's death.

You fight fire with fire. This ad is more credible than the Romney one. This Ad highlights Romney's job as a corporate raider. The other ad highlights Obama's job as a black guy.

When does the Ad say that implicitly? It says that Romney made him lose his health insurance. Don't be an ass.
