Romney Camp Demands Kelli Ward Stop Re-using Its 2008 Ad Bashing McCain

After a bitter primary fight in 2008, Mitt Romney is coming to Arizona Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) defense.
After reports surfaced that McCain primary challenger Kelli Ward was re-using a 2008 Romney attack ad against McCain as her own, Romney's ghost campaign sent a cease and desist letter demanding Ward take down her Facebook ad immediately.
"Romney for President has not authorized your use of its protected material," the letter, which was provided to TPM reads. "Your campaign has engaged in blatant infringement of RFP's protected work and must cease and desist immediately."
The ad's identical resemblance to Romney's 2008 ad was first picked up by the Arizona Republic, which noted that the only thing difference between Ward's and Romney's ads was the fact Ward appeared at the end. Ward's campaign did not dispute the similarities, telling the Arizona Republic that "Mitt Romney got it right."
"If the shoe fits, wear it. The substance is still the same. Some things never change," Stephen Sebastian, Ward's spokesman, told the Arizona Republic.
The ad paints McCain as an ally of Hillary Clinton on everything from a gas tax to "blocking conservative judges."
See the full letter below:

I despise, loathe and actually hate Willard Romney.
I wish him everything but happiness and success.
He's already miserable, so I hope to see more misery poured onto to him.

Romney could really dish it out when he was running against Republicans. But he can't man up when people hold him accountable for what he said.
I would think Romney threatening to sue Kelli Ward helps one person. And it isn't John McCain.

I attended a Ward for Senate event yesterday. Impressed. She’s got it. Solid on the issues. (”I’ll mix the mortar to build the wall”).

The ad's identical resemblance to Romney's 2008 ad... Ah, so it is NOT the Romney ad. Dr. Ward should very sweetly tell Romney and his little litter of weasels to FOAD.
She should also do a big ad buy where she points out that Mittens is a whiny twerp LOSER.

Kelli Ward to Nitwit Romney: “I’m going to keep using the ad. Blow it out your magic underpants.”
At least that’s what I would like her to say.....

RINO McCain supports slavery, ObamaCARE, ObamaTRADE,
RomneyCARE, rape, crucifixion, and started
the IRS attacks on conservatives with Levin.
Arizona can choose quite easily without Bishop Romney.
