It’s silly to let those ridiculous ads go unchecked. These aren’t just political ads, they are blatant lies. Romney needs to at least confront them and be on the ball. Having no presence, discernable message, makes such statements appear truthful in the minds of far too many voters.
Here is a tidbit of an e-mail I got today from the Romney campaign (I’m on their e-mail list) about where a fair amount of the money is going, which might help explain what they are up to:
“Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve built a record-breaking ground operation. Indeed, a nationwide network of 73,000 hardworking volunteers has helped us reach 26 million voters and identify over 2 million swing voters.
That means we’ve made 6 times more phone calls and knocked on 16 times more doors than we did during the entire 2008 campaign. That’s pretty incredible.
Your donation bolsters our pivotal ground game, which is essential for a win. It will also help us ramp up our Absentee Ballot and Early Vote Turnout programs and support our Election Day efforts overall.”
Exactly! Even John Boehner's missing in action.
