VANITY - Are the Romney Videos the Dem's October Surprise Come Early?
9/18/2012 | Reegs

Posted on 09/18/2012 5:45:21 AM PDT by reegs

With the Middle East blowing up and the truth coming out that these attacks were premeditated and the Obama administration did nothing to increase security on the anniversary of 9/11, is it possible the Democrats had to release their October surprise early to take the "Jihadi Fall" off the front page? I welcome your thoughts.

So far, I like what Romney has to say and do not find the videos shocking in any way. Of course, I’m not a bleedding-heart liberal, but then neither are the majority of voters in this nation. These videos may backfire on the Democrats.

About 30% of voters are very conservative. Another 35% are somewhat conservative. That equals 65% of voters.

I believe there are issues such as the economy, immigration, defense, and law & Order that properly addressed by Romney would unite the above voters. These are definitely Federal issues, by that I mean constitutionally mandated Federal responsibilities as opposed to those that are not - such as abortion and marriage.

Yes I think this “secret” video’s release was timed to distract from the 9/11 embassy attacks. At some point people were bound to see through the narrative that somehow the attacks and murder of our embassy staff was caused by a YouTube video.

Plus, this gives the media another week to yabber on about how the Romney campaign is in “chaos” while completely ignoring Obama and Hillary’s total incompetence re: the 9/11 embassy attacks.

Well, I'm surprised. What is next, Obama claiming he isn't worried about the Tea Party Vote?

They shot themselves in the foot, if not the gonads.

Have Romney’s comments been labeled racist yet?

If this is their October surprise then its really lame....

I think Bain was the big one and it failed. Anything else after that is a lame attempt to try to change the subject as suggested.

...and I 'm beginning to think that all this petty nitpicking by Obozo and company is starting to give Romney the look of the "Teflon Don" .... nothing seems to stick for very long because the media is so outrageous in its pronouncements over the most minor of accusations.

.....all while, the one victory the Obozo campaign was clinging too, "Foreign Policy", seems to be going up in flames around them.

......but then again .....UBL's death.......Obozo didn't do that....they just spiked the ball because his campaign is "not" in trouble and it's all going according to plan...... /sarcasm.

—— except I think the vids are helping Romney so it’s another exploding cigar for obama ——

Exactly right. The media has successfully kept the 47% figure hidden —until now. Big mistake.

And yes, this was an October surprise... FAIL!

"If you think about the timing, they have had these videos since May."

Good point. David Corn, notorious BamBam lackey at Mother Jones, has apparently been sitting on these since May, waiting for an opportune time to release them.

On Morning Ho today, Corns buddy John Heileman inferred that there were more videos coming.

I agree with Mitt Romney. Being an European I am very aware of the people who vote Socialists, the lazies, the people who think I owe them a living.
The people who cry poverty yet, smoke, drinks and party all night long.
The people who demand free housing then destroy them as it is not theirs.
And of course most teachers...they in Europe are brain washing the children in CUBA style living.

Mitt >Romney as Pressident PLEASE.

The point is that the 47 % are not paying their “Fair Share” of PERSONAL Federal Income Tax.

The Federal Welfare Entitlement Plantation is now totally dependent on selling America down the river by selling IOU Federal Bonds to China and other bond buyers.

40 cents on every Federal Dollar spent go to pay for Entitlements.

40 cents on every Federal Dollar spent must be borrowed from those who buy Federal Bonds.

The 47 % who pay NO Personal Federal Income Tax will vote their wallets and keep Commie Obama in power.

Now is the time for Romney to double down, NEVER apologize, and attack Commie Obama!

NO, the october surprise is the arab uprising. Put into motion by the obama administration, same as the burst housing bubble and ensuing economic panic in ‘08, and for the same reason, cause obama NEEDED a “crisis” that he polls well on.

Unfortunately for him and US, this ‘crisis’, just like the economic crisis, has gotten away from them and WE, the American people will be paying for this one for years same as we have been paying for the economic meltdown for years.

Also, you know the leftists will have released the “worst” one first (In their view, of course).

Yes, it’s not a coincidence Romney wants them to release the whole thing.

Give us more, Mother....

Wouldn’t surprise me. Anything to cover up the gross 9-11-12 negligence that is still ongoing.
