Romney's campaign manager is a dumb-ass

First of all...

Sending a flier to me about Romney is poor market research. I'm on no Republican mailing lists and I live in Cleveland. Snowball's chance in hell... right.

Anyway, I open it up and the First Fold reads...

"Barack Obama believes government creates jobs, not people." There's a lot wrong with that but that's not what made me laugh.

The very next panel... opposite the Charge that Obama thinks it's the governments' responsibility to create jobs is a slogan that reads...

"Beginning Day One, Twitt Romney will put job creation first."

mmmmm...

Didn't he just say that Obama is a bad choice because he thinks it's Government's job to create jobs and yet the first thing he plans on doing is the thing that makes his opponent unfit for the job.... I'm confused... or the idiot that wrote this ad is an idiot.

Mitt, buddy, proof-read your fliers bud... remember, we're a bunch of mindless spoon-fed freeloaders. It's tough to keep this shit straight.

Maybe Republicans don't know that?

..actually that would explain a lot about the things they say about where babies come from...

... sorry. Just thinking out loud here...

Mail it back to the Romney campaign postage due. Write "sensitive material" on the envelop.

....except it's not a cell phone.

I think the current desperate strategy with the puds is to just throw fecal matter at a wall and see if anything sticks. It's hard to believe when you stop to consider that he is paying millions in service fees to people who supposedly have studied public manipulation for all of their adult lives.

If he ends up losing (which I think he will), I think it would be sheer delight if he tries to blame the whole thing on Carl Rove.

we can do it

The more they send the better - and I can see what they are spewing and be ready for it when I go canvassing or whatever.

5. This is as much poor marketing

as all those ads that have been popping up on DU saying "Obama supporters are changing their vote" and "Cravaack for Congress, stop the Democrat takeover". Out of all the sites they can post those wingnut ads on, they just had to choose the one site that you're least likely to spot a Republican.

Goto Forbes.com which charges about $1.00 to $4 per click and search for Romney. His ad will pop up on the bottom of the page. Click it for our ticket...

Grammar must have slipped by him, too because my first thought was "Honestly, I don't want the government creating people!"

9. Why do Republicans try to make people think government workers are leeches?

They work hard just like everyone else. A lot of them make less money than they could in the private sector.

Jobs maybe, but not people.

Anyone proofread for him?
