TRENDING: Santorum video: 'Obamaville' is a house of horrors (CNN commenters are enraged at video)
CNN ^ | 3/24/12 | CNN Political Unit

Posted on 03/25/2012 5:36:47 AM PDT by jimbo123

Crows perch on spindly trees. Barren streets and empty swing sets. An antiquated wall clock. A playground carousel spinning slowly with an eerie screech.

The visuals conjure a horror film or the old TV series, "The Twilight Zone."

But the collection of spine-tingling scenes pervades Rick Santorum's new web video trailer about life under the Obama administration.

In this case, Santorum’s campaign does not have the money to air it across the entire nation, but it looks like the MSM will do it for them. They will get exposure, and it won't be the kind they were expecting.

Very uncivil. Barbara Bush will not be happy. We need abortion for the lower classes after all, otherwise we’d be overrun with all those hillbillies for heavens sake.

The Obama supporters are in an apoplectic rage over the video.

If the big O supporters are are enraged then it must be good (truth to a liberal is like holy water to a vampire). I just watched the video and I have have to say I like it.

My hope is that there will be enough political ads like this that will depress the Dem vote on election day.

Politically speaking, anyone who claims to be a “life-long” anything is a flat out liar.

It’s pretty well done. I hope we see lots more like it.

Were you opposed to Herman Cain? Did you defend him on this forum? Please refresh my memory.

Do you infer his running ads like Mark Block smoking contributed to him withdrawing from the race. I really don't get your logic or the connection. And, PS, would like my above questions answered. (Heck you might even surprise me).

The left must be really hurt about the video.

They just made “Welcome to Santorumville”

Hell, the way this election is going maybe it was the RNC that made the video “Welcome to Santorumville” starring Karl Rove. I can see Karl approving this video.

Funny comments....

I'm a life-long conservative, and as of this election, I have completely lost all faith in my party. I am switching teams, because (once I did some true fact-finding and not just believing everything anyone tells me) I find that Obama/Biden have a great track record of success and that this country's economy is actually getting better. Obama/Biden 2012, from a 20-year EX-conservative.

I don’t like it. It has non-existent facts, and is meant to hit at a visceral, emotional level alone. I think it is manipulative and something I would expect of the other side.

Disappointing because Santorum is my candidate at this point.

Awesome video. This is how you hit people hard on TV.

Not buying it. Every election a strange contingent of people show up. They claim they were life long conservatives/Republicans and then boldly proclaim for one reason or another (perhaps false indignation at something a conservative/Republican candidate said or did) that they are refusing to vote Republican, have seen the light, and will give the DemocRAT candidate their votes.

I love the “Shhhhh!” at 00:15.

I was one of the first Herman Cain supporters on this forum in the early months of the election. I posted several threads in his honor.

However, the more I learned and saw of Cain, the more I realized that he was not a contender, or a viable candidate, so I switched to Perry. Perry demonstrated similar non contender traits that Cain did. The ability of the MSM to control their popularity was also a factor in why I changed candidates.

As far as your attitude, I could care less what you think, do or say. You must believe that you are of a very high status here, since you take great pride in thinking I would “surprise” you or not, or that everything in my regard, hinges on your final validation.

My opinion is well covered and explained in the above posts. If you are having difficulty finding a “connection” or the logic in what I wrote, the “difficulty” is not mine.

The electoral math, so far, still shows Santorum doing way better than Gingrich.

That's a shame. Because Gingrich COULD win a national election.

This is EXACTLY what needs to happen to Obozo. He is not just a nice guy in over his head.

That comment by Mittens infuriated me more than anything else he's said. Zero is (a) absolutely not a nice guy, and (b) is unfortunately not in over his head. He's accomplishing his goal of destroying the Republic.

google says it is unlisted, so we have to spread the word.

LOL that video doesn’t even make sense. No one would ever accuse Santorum of being gay friendly.

LOL! Actually, we don’t discuss politics much in my family nor at reunions. My parents used to purse their lips and half-smile when I would tell them I was heading down to DC to join up with the FReepers. We do manage to keep things light and civil at reunions.
