"When Mitt Romney Came to Town" - the full 28 minute version has now been released - Here it is!!

Of course it is quite awesome that a Super Pac connected to Newt Gingrich is the financial power behind this film. We know the public dialogue has changed when Newt Gingrich is making the left-wing case against predatory capitalism in a film that could have been directed by Michael Moore or Amy Goodman. However, cynical this maneuver was on the part of Gingrich's people - it is nonetheless good for our side. I think this may be a one of those rare occasions where we can join our misguided friends at Free Republic and try to get this film to go viral across the Internet. That fact that right-wingers are behind the film only makes it more credible in reaching people who may not be open minded to a film that was backed by a progressive group.


Here is the direct website to view it in full:

or

you can see it on youtube in two parts:

part 1:

part 2

......

May I strongly suggest posting this film on your Facebook page or personal website and everywhere else and sending it to EVERYONE on your E-mail list everywhere... And don't forget to remind people that this is a REPUBLICAN film. We wouldn't want them to think it is biased against conservatives, would we?

can we download this and use it in a few months? I wonder what kind of copy right rules apply to things like this.

into Reaganism.

It will be Republicans that will see it, and maybe some will think before they vote. It would be nice if the Democrats had someone to run that wasn't tied so closely to the same people as Romney is.

But maybe it will help in the Senate and Representative races.

when I hear from him again I will send him the link to the video...It is very revealing. I like to feed him in drips otherwise he freaks out.

An American friend living in Germany emailed me and said he was disappointed in Obama and asked what I thought of Ron Paul..

I told him that young people tend to like Paul because he wants to legalize drugs and close all the American military bases but they don't see the other freedoms he would kill. AND that this would never happen anyway because too much money would be lost if the war on drugs was over and there were no more wars across the world. The industrial military complex is too big and too greedy.

I also pointed out that Obama had a lot of obstacles from the party of NO to accomplish what he wanted to do.

What is important now is to get out and make sure that congress has a Democratic Majority....This is very crucial. 2013 could be the beginning of a good era. Lots of work this year to make that happen!

I could not imagine someone wanting to vote for this guy after seeing this video- this needs to go viral. Each one of the stories makes for a case study in greed.
