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.

I was wondering if an October surprise could come from the Romney camp. He finally releases his tax returns and they show an incredibly high rate of charitable giving.

Romney told the painful truth about a near-majority of Americans.

Like it’s a bad thing. The lefties will, on cue, squeal like stuck pigs... but those of us with brain cells know the truth. And the truth hurts sometimes.

If it is, it’s blown up in their face. I’m glad somebody finally said what Romney said. It’s true and they Dems know it as well as anybody, because THEY BUILT THAT!...........

The sad part is that way too many people view what Romney said as a negative comment. What Romney said is what parents say to their teenage and young adult kids all the time — get off your ass and get a job. Quit looking to me to support you. You have to grow up and make your own way in the world. Time to cut the apron strings and leave the nest. When did these concepts become negative? Its so sad that Americans don’t think that adults should be supporting themselves.

I guess the Obama Administration and their MSM cohorts could make this video into anything they want. They are really good at branding.
Romney needs to present the facts. The Treasury figures show that the bottom two quintille of tax returns resulted in a net negative revenue of -7%. In other words, 40% of tax filers made a net positive (profit) when they file their taxes.

How do basic truths equate to “October Surprise”?

And Romney still has his October Surprise...

I thought Republicans didn't do October surprises.

This is designed to get Romney off message. It's working. His strong statement on the Egyptian embassy release was spun into an epic gaffe while the breaking Mid-East news was ignored. So bad was the media's unbalance it was a topic on the Sunday Shows.

Now he's gone and repeated a line of talk that got him into trouble during the primary season. Did he learn nothing? Perhaps!

That would be slick. I can’t imagine it working that well though!

If Mitt gave $1 million to the Red Cross the media would accuse him of anti-Red Crescent Muslim bigotry and or diverting $1 million from Jerry’s Kids.

I so loved what he said because it is the truth. I’m sending him another $100 today.

They were obviously saving these for “when they needed them”.

And they obviously “needed them” with 0bama’s last week.

Frankly, the position that food, housing, medical care are not rights raises the governor several notches.

Admittedly, any technical politiking is just about as skeezy as a human can get, the principle that it is not the government’s job.........oops, sounding like a tagline.

If this is a progressive tactic, hopefully it will blow up in their faces, aligning those with similar views, and maybe challenging others to wonder...”is it really the government’s job?”

I believe the filthy democrats have bigger things planned closer to the election.

It’s a good video for Romney.

Don’t expect MSM to say anything good for Romney. To Romney, the best way to gratify MSM is quit.
