Originally Posted By Dabob2 "cutting off manditory work for welfare is a game that the liberals like to play." You've got to be kidding. Every fact checking group has rated the Romney ad with that claim as a "pants on fire" lie. Every one. And yet you lap it up. Which tells us about all we need to know.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 And Donny, let me point out that the ad you decry is from a superPAC, not the Obama campaign. The lyIng ad I'm talking about IS the Romney campaign. I don't like superpacs in general. Both sides (and earlier in the primaries too) have run some whoppers and I think they're a destructive force in general. But the lying welfare ad is from Romney himself. And it's a blatant lie.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip OK... if we want SOME level of decency and truth in political advertising the same rules have to apply to all sides. The ad was over-the-top. Romney was head of Bain Capital. Bain bought the Steel Mill the guy worked in and later closed it down (let me tell you, that as someone who had friends on the Iron Range of Minnesota, that happened to MANY facilities during that time, primarily due to competition from China.) When the plant closed the guy lost his health insurance. Some time later (he didn't really know when) his wife developed cancer. When she was in the hospital for an unrelated problem (pneumonia) the cancer was discovered… she apparently had no problem getting THAT medical treatment! By the time the cancer was discovered it was too late to do anything about it. But therefore, because of that chain of events Romney was responsible for the death of the man's wife. BULLSHIT!! Cancer is like that... it is sneaky, having no symptoms and being undiagnosed for long periods of time. Often by the time it is diagnosed it is too late to do much about it. That is how it was with my wife. She had EXCELLENT health benefits through the University of Minnesota her entire adult life. Yet by the time her colon cancer was diagnosed there really wasn't much that could be done about it. She died less than nine months later. SHAME on the Obama PAC for playing on this man’s painful memories and emotions for a cheap and deceptive political ad. I'm sorry... BS is BS no matter WHAT side presents it. And I AM NOT a Romney supporter!
