Former Obama supporters say they back Romney this time

[a kennedy]

In 2008, Matthew Brewer said he voted for hope, change and Barack Obama for president.

But this fall, he said, even though he said he doesn't agree with every policy proposed by Mitt Romney, he'll be voting for the Republican for president.

"I think he has the right skill set," Brewer said Thursday, as Romney's Wisconsin campaign rolled out what it called an advisory board of Wisconsin Democrats for Romney.

The group is comprised of 39 people from 29 cities. In a news release, the campaign said Wisconsin Democrats for Romney will bring together "a multitude of disenchanted Obama supporters who are not better off than they were four years ago."

Brewer, 49, an unemployed acoustic engineer from Spring Green, counts himself as one of those disenchanted with Obama, despite supporting him four years ago.

"He has been ineffective," Brewer said. He added that he doesn't have much hope for the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.

1. Not only are those guys quitters, they are choosing to make all of us

slaves to the 1%.

[BeyondGeography]

2. Poor little tools

Mitt thinks they're funny.

[Trajan]

3. Congress has much more to blame for the poor job numbers

I do wish this was made more clear by our party leaders .....

[snappyturtle]

4. Pure stupidity. Pisses me off too! Look back at all the support the nation gave WI

and some there come out with this kind of discontent. At least they should have the decency to keep their mouths shut.

[Scuba]

23. As a tie-dyed cheesehead I can assure you this guy isn't for real...

... I smell a rat. There are certainly many of here in Wisconsin who are disappointed with SOME of what President Obama has done, but not one thinks Romney would be better.

[ewagner]

28. me too

I actually got worried when I heard Rove and Romney dropped advertising in Wisconsin...that means they've got something else going

or

it's a "head fake" and they will dump MILLIONS into Wisconsin two weeks before the election.

Rove is King of the dirty tricks crowd...I think all this is part of a scheme.

[snappyturtle]

35. I owe you a apology....I just re-read the OP...where was my head? nt

[Scuba]

36. No problem. There are a great many nutjobs in Wisconsin.

[Siwsan]

5. I smell a shill

Stories like that always set off red flags. If someone thinks President Obama didn't deliver on so many things, why would they throw their support behind someone who intends to undo everything President Obama HAS done. Absolutely makes zero sense. Thus, the stench of a shill.

[brush]

15. Exactamondo

You are so right, Siwsan. I don't for a minute those are former Obama voters, more like paid-by-Koch Brothers-shills like you said.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. Who's next? Rmoney's five sons using phony names?

This smell like a Rove scheme.

[liberallibral]

7. There are actually at least half a dozen people I know...

..at work, that really are voting for Romney (and they voted for the President in 2008)...

It makes me sick, and I try to reason with them, but they're as ignorant as they come!

Pisses me off!!!

[mojowork_n]

18. I don't know anyone that stupid. What are they thinking?

[still_one]

31. and were they Democrats before? Can they name one thing that they believe romney would do to make

their situation better?

[madrchsod]

8. ya..... i doubt matt voted for him

matt should be asking why walker turned down the rail money and his buddies. why wisconsin has lost more jobs than "high tax illinois".

yup! matt should open his own consulting firm in walker`small business friendly wisconsin.

[Arctic Dave]

9. Meh. Standard campaign ploy.

You find a dozen "disenchanted" people and parade them around like zoo animals on TV.

Obama could probably find a few thousand republicans that would do the same thing.

[stillwaiting]

16. And he should. nt

[ladjf]

10. Posting this type of anecdotal information is counter productive for the Demcoratic Party and

the President.

[Walk away]

13. +1000

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Isn't Spring Green on

edge of 1% er ville? Heard of this crap this summer when in the area. Sounds like a smoke screen.

[Scuba]

24. No. It's a farm town.

[MjolnirTime]

12. Fuck these idiots. It's a wonder that they still know how to breathe.

[Worried senior]

14. I live in WI

and have been seeing those ads with the disenchanted voters. Not sure if I believe them or not.

I will definitely be voting for PBO regardless of the ads.

[dragonlady]

17. At least some of them reject the teachings of Ayn Rand

The Brewers, after losing their home over the costs of treating Ms. Brewer's cancer, are willing to support a repeal of Obamacare and return to allowing insurance companies to reject people with preexisting conditions. So the Brewers would be on their own for the rest of Ms. Brewer's life, but their preferred model of health care would be in place for everyone else to enjoy. How altruistic!

[blkmusclmachine]

19. Chances are good that this guy is a Puke who voted for McC in '08.

That being said, there are DEM's and former DEM's who will NOT be voting the top of the ticket in Nov. I'm one of them.

[caber09]

20. No time for a protest non vote

Karl Rove, Mitt Romney, and Paul Ryan thank you for your support. I hope you are not in a swing state because you'd be helping them out and I know that's not your goal. This is not the time for a protest non vote.

[demgrrrll]

21. Why not?

[caber09]

22. Why not???

That what Nader voters said in 2000 y would you want to help Romney etc with a protest non vote which in a close election is voting against yourself. The results would defeat your purpose, what good is a protest non vote if it hurts you in the end. A Romney admin is far worse than an Obama one and you'll have a lot more to be worried about. Anyone who does this has no right to complain when a Romney admins consequences comes to light. The R's thank you for your contribution but ok
Know that's not your goal

[demgrrrll]

33. I was asking the poster why he was not going to vote up ticket.

[Scuba]

25. That would be completely dumb. Do you really think Romney would be better?

[liberal N proud]

26. Another voter who didn't get his poney fast enough.

So he is going to jump back into the fire.

27. Disillusioned Obama Supporter In Romney Ad Is Actually GOP Staffer

Republicans debuted a new ad Thursday in which a frustrated former Obama supporter expresses her disappointment with the president. The only problem: The woman in the video is actually an RNC staffer.

The new ad features Republican National Committee Director of Hispanic Outreach Bettina Inclan, who in the ad purports to be an average woman voter who supported Obama in 2008. She describes her disillusionment with the president in the ad as a romantic relationship gone awry.

“You’re just not he person I thought you were,” Inclan says in the ad, addressing a cardboard cutout of Obama. Inclan lists out-of-control spending and Obama’s penchant for hanging out with Hollywood celebrities as reasons for the break-up. “It’s not me, it’s you. I think we should just be friends.”

The ad asks people to share why they’re “breaking up” with Obama.

The RNC says its ad, which first appeared on television Thursday is not dishonest.

29. Too cheap to hire an actress?

[still_one]

30. The guy isn't a fucking dem even if he said he was. He obviously doesn't believe in social security

medicare, and believe that if a woman is raped she should be forced to carry to term

In addition, brewer a complete idiot for not realizing that the reason the President couldn't get anything done was because of obstruction of the republicans, and yes blue dog democrats

[Blue Owl]

32. Oooooh, THIRTY-NINE people...

What is that, like .00035% of Wisconsin's population?

What a force to be reckoned with.

[hue]

34. Who cares about a couple dozen people??

Obviously this is a propaganda piece printed by the J/Urinal. It doesn't mean anything significant or reliable--> just lots of print space given for propaganda $$.
