The 2012 YouTube Campaign (These Videos Are Great!)
The Iowa Republican ^ | 05/27/2011 | Craig Robinson

YouTube and social media sites like FaceBook and Twitter have changed the political landscape. In 2008, Mitt Romney’s previous statements on issues and other public figures were distributed widely via these new social media sites. It created an environment where Romney was caught contradicting himself on a regular basis.

The 2012 campaign will be no different, but Romney will not be alone. Other candidates are already seeing their previous statements being used against themselves. Below are two recent YouTube videos that illustrate how what a candidate said a few years ago can come back to haunt them. One on Jon Huntsman, and the other on Tim Pawlenty.

KEYWORDS: huntsman; pawlenty; rino

Jon Huntsman is not merely a RINO. He is a child. An ignorant fool. Did you hear his childish rantings on health care? He obviously knows only how to inherit money, and knows zero about business. What an embarrassment.

As often as Republicans can be trapped by their own words
What about Paddy Hussein 0'Bama (he declared himself Irish didn't he?)

Zero talks about raising Capital Gains Taxes for the "Fairness" sake

If I wanted I can get plenty of videos where The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayres has contradicted himself or revealed his true agenda.

We have a serious problem in our Country with a Ruling Class that’s pushing socialism so that they would be empowered to control the population. It’s going to take a serious effort by the people to stop this train wreck.
