New Romney Ad: Mitt Not "Politically Correct"

By Eric Kleefeld - December 7, 2007, 12:11PM

Mitt Romney has a new TV ad in Iowa, stressing to conservative voters how he's stood with them on issues like the right to life, traditional marriage, and upholding the English language — opposition to which is derided by the announcer as "politically correct."

Expect Romney to be pushing the social conservative messages in the home stretch, as he seeks to win over Iowa evangelicals who might be uncomfortable with his religion by employing much the same tactic as he did in yesterday's speech — stressing that they share a common foundation of conservative values.

"I said what back when I was running for office in Massachusetts? No, I am sure you must be mistaken."

Mitt's next campaign ad:

Well, maybe I'm not "the norm". I'm not "camera friendly". I don't "wear clothes that fit me". I'm not a "heartbreaker". I haven't "had sex with a woman"; I don't know "how that works". I guess I don't "fall in line". I'm not "hygenic". I don't "wipe properly". I lack "style". I don't have "charisma" or "self esteem". I don't "own a toothbrush" or "let my scabs heal". I can't "reach all the parts of my body". When I sleep, I "sweat profusely".

"When it wasn't politically correct Since 2005, he stood up for life in Massachusetts.

"When it wasn't politically correct Since 2005, he fought for English in the classroom.

"When it wasn't politically correct Since 2005,he said marriage should be between a man and a woman."

That didn't work. It was supposed to cross out "When it wasn't politically correct." Oh well.

You mean a common foundation of fear and hate-mongering

Ugh. It just occurred to me that just because this greaseball might not be the candidate this time, he is still a relatively young man, and he's going to keep going and going and going.

Arg. Willard wasn't just a creepy movie. :(
