An interesting fox got into the henhouse - 'My' YouTube Video was pulled.

Last edited Thu Jan 19, 2012, 10:10 AM - Edit history (6)

YouTube pulled the video I linked to in the OP
"I'm pretty sure Romney is the candidate Obama would like to face, not Newt"

There are two remaining copies on YouTube of that video titled
PROOF Mitt Romney Is As Liberal As OBAMA!
I've fixed the link and taken a backup.

I'm sticking by the points I made in that OP
Romney is peculiarly venerable in four areas

1. As a creator of unemployment as 'King of Bain'
(yes Veronica, not all 'unemployments' come from the Government)
2. The 15% Taxpayer. (nup, the have mores don't pay more in taxes)
3. A member of a church that is historically toxic to Evangelicals
4. A proven social moderate who is faking it to get elected.

Mitt has his once in a lifetime opportunity to fracture the 'Reagan Coalition'
= Wealth/Business
+ Economic Libertarians
+ Social Conservatives/Evangelical Christians
+ 'Reagan Democrats'
( the not well off who now blame Governement/Elites/Minorities etc.
for their problems and vote against their economic interests )

Because Romney is so nakedly Wealth/Business, and little else,
with a religion toxic to Evangelicals,
and is not a Social Conservative,
AND is a pinup child of 1% lumped with a 'Vulture Capitalist' narrative that
'Reagan Democrats' can understand (and perhaps even remember ) then =

Mitt is the one that can split 'em. Mitt the Ripper.
(If our dear friend Dr. Paul goes third party, the split goes all 4 ways).

Gingrich may implode - and perhaps deliver a bigger defeat to the GOP,
But Mitt is the 'Change Agent' - the 'Transformational Candidate'
'The One' who could fracture the Reagan alliance for good.
(Pardon that 2008 rhubarb rhetoric)

I repost the said video for your amusement
A good resource for attack ads along the lines of
'Mitt Romney backs / agrees with the President'

In case you have to edit your links again--Mitt must have his acolytes scrubbing the web for anything that makes him look like a putz (which means his crew must be working overtime).

Call me paranoid, but that video had been up since January, and was pulled within a day of it appearing on DU.

Did someone think I wouldn't notice? Whatever. I don't think it was pulled with the DU audience in mind. It's a post about the relative merits of the GOP candidates.
