Ads like that don't always work in Republican primaries. Republican primary voters know that Republican candidates get smeared with lies and distortions about Social Security. Romney could just be telling die hard Republicans which candidate is the "real Republican" with that ad. Most Republican voters (especially primary voters) know they should vote for the "scary" candidate when they get an ad like that.

I'm not sure about Perry. He's not my first choice. I'm waiting on Sarah Palin to make her announcement. She's my first choice. Herman Cain also looks very interesting.
We don't need another establishment politician.
Actually, if any candidate promises to be a Republican Grover Cleveland, that would get my vote. We need a President who can veto the progressive, extra-constitutional crap that comes out of Congress. One who knows how to use a veto pen and can write words like, "I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the general government ought to be extended to …"
We need someone who is willing to break Cleveland's record for most vetoes in a single congressional session (212, in the 50th Congress) and most vetoes in a single presidential term (414 in his first term).
