Romney Campaign and RNC spending $12 million this week on ads

Washington (CNN) - Mitt Romney's campaign and the Republican National Committee are together spending just over $12 million for television ads in nine battleground states this week, according to a Democratic ad-buying source.

The Romney campaign itself bought $7.7 million worth of ad time in those states running from Wednesday until next Tuesday while the RNC is spending $5.05 million for commercials to support the Republican nominee on the airwaves.

Romney's campaign appeared to pick up the pace of its ad production this week releasing four new spots, including one touting a pledge to create 12 million new jobs and another one hitting the Obama administration for raising the nation's debt. It also put on the air ads specifically targeted to Nevada and Ohio.

Part of the RNC money paid to broadcast two new ads that were produced in collaboration with the Romney campaign contending the middle class will pay higher taxes if the president is re-elected.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Everybody with an IQ below 140, who’s not in politics knows that. What most of those people don’t understand is how much this little magic show costs. This next chart shows the monthly cost of the changes in the National Debt, per person. In other words, this is what it would cost just to stop adding to the National Debt.

It was negative when GW took office and exploded under DimSon just before Obama took office. But the Repubs don't want us to know that:

...hitting the Obama administration for raising the nation's debt.

Yeah, right...

showing a picture of Mitt's ass instead (I'm sure they must already have lots of those). It would be just as effective now that it's known that he lies so perfectly (I've pointed out before he lies randomly half the time thus providing zero information).
