Related: About this forumEastwood doing robocalls for Rove SuperPAC
Come Tuesday night, it will be apparent this guy threw away his dignity for nothing
Actor Clint Eastwood has recorded a new robocall for Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS group, in which he tells voters it's time to fire President Barack Obama because "he's failed us."
"This is Clint Eastwood. Really," Eastwood says in the spot. "In the last few years, America's been knocked down. Twenty-three million people can't find full-time work, and millions more are struggling. Now we hired President Obama to make a change. When someone doesn't get the job done, we've got to hold them accountable. And the fact is, he's failed us. We need a president who knows how to get that job done. That's why I'm voting for Mitt Romney. Thanks."
The Crossroads GPS robocall was received by a voter in Detroit and passed along to Shaun Dakin, who runs the site StopPoliticalCalls.org.
The robocall is part of a larger Eastwood campaign by Rove's super PAC, which also features a TV commercial in which the actor and director conveys a similar message.

(100 posts)I mean really, I would like to meet the moron who is sitting on his or her ass and gets this Robocall and goes "My God, I will now vote differently. Even though I saw Clint shouting at that empty chair at the RNC I never really knew how he felt."

If anything, all they do is annoy folks at home.

I now put Eastwood in the same category as Gibson. No way do I spend a thin dime on anything this bastard creates.

(2,434 posts)He's calling on behalf of some old-fogey group and I guess I got targeted because I'm an old fogey. I always let them go on and on and waste their money, but I got my "rocks" off by yelling back at Pat while he was talking and telling him how old and boring he was. Made me feel better.
