Please explain how a video which only contains other candidates’ OWN WORDS can be an attack ad.

First and foremost, I want Fred, (and any candidate) to do well. I am not Fred’s enemy. Fred is.

Mitt has publicly changed his position on those issues; He has asked for forgiveness. It is our desire to rehabilitate the pro-abortionist, or anti-marriage fence setter, not to brow beat them for an opinion that they once shared with millions of other REPUBLICANS. You guys don’t even realize that in ostracizing MITT, you are pushing away millions of voters who we need to defeat Hillary.

People are not stupid. They read this shallow attack as a lack of vision. I am doing you a kindness by telling you this. If you or Fred ever got a clue on this, he might regain some support which HE, FRED, HIMSELF has lost. But I tell you truly, knowing that your demonstrated incapability to receive means that you will continue to reject sound advice, and present no threat to a serious candidate who wants the support of ALL Americans.

I have not insulted Mary by stating that she sleeps with her husband. I would be insulting her if I said that she didn’t sleep with her husband.

All the funny cat pictures will never change these facts.

You're right, people are not stupid, and they will be suspicious of a politician who changed his "rock solid belief since 1970" to paraphrase Mitt's own words, so that he could position himself better for a campaign for the Republican nomination.

The ad wasn't an attack, simply a laying out of the facts, and pointing up differences. Folks can make up their own minds, and they will, but I doubt vey seriesly that this mild ad will turn anyone against Fred for being 'mean'.
