Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I think this ad by Romney is BRILLIANT copying obama’s 2008 “Fundamentals” ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o8GSkkeXH0&feature=plcp
Here are some of my ideas:
1. Listen to Barack Obama in 2006: “Raising the debt limit is a sign of leadership failure”. Now the debt’s growing at $4 billion a day, at $16 trillion. In 2008: “If you don’t have anything to run on, you’re going to run nasty ads to scare voters about your opponent” And he’s run the most negative campaign in history. In 2009: “If I don’t get this done in 3 years, it’s going to be a one-term proposition” Oh really, Mr. President? We’ll take you up on that. “I’m Mitt Romney, and I approve this message.”
2. Radical Barack Obama was friends with terrorist Bill Ayers, who bombed the Pentagon, endangered millions of people, and said his only regret was that “he didn’t do enough”. His affiliate Tony Rezko is now facing years in prison for fraud charges. He’s endorsed by radical Muslim Louis Farakkhan who said that his goal was to destroy America. His own pastor, who baptized Obama’s children and preached to the Obamas for 20 years, Jeremiah Wright, said “God damn America” and called America “the US of KKK A”. And now, his trusted advisor, Cass Sustein, wants to ban all meat and allow animals full representation in court. Barack Obama: The more you know about him, the less you trust him. Too Radical. Too risky. Dead wrong for America. “I’m Mitt Romney and I approve this message”
3. Obama has added over $10,000 in debt for every American. He took over the banks, the auto companies, and then put government in charge of our healthcare. Gas prices have skyrocketed and unemployment has been above 8% for over 40 months. It’s time for a change. “I’m Mitt Romney, and I approve this message”
4. Barack Obama. Mitt Romney. Two men running for President with very different records. Mitt Romney worked at Bain capital, creating over 100,000 jobs. Barack Obama never really had a job. Under Romney’s leadership, Massachusetts had a 4.7% unemployment rate. Under Obama, America has had unemployment above 8% for 40 months. Romney supports the Keystone Pipeline to create jobs and lower gas prices. Obama not only opposes the Keystone Pipeline, he personally blocked the plan that would’ve created 100,000 jobs right now. The choice is clear. Mitt Romney. “I’m Mitt Romney and I approve this message.”
5. Obama and Romney on energy. Romney supports the Keystone Pipeline, which would create over 100,000 jobs right now. Obama doesn’t. Romney supports drilling in Alaska, expanding oil shale development, and rescinding the offshore drilling moratorium, to lower gas prices right now. Obama doesn’t. Romney opposes a national energy tax, which would increase electricity rates up to 25%. Obama supports one. So next time you see an Obama attack ad(shows TV screen with “Big Oil” and Romney with oil spatterings), remember who will fight for lower gas prices. “I’m Mitt Romney and I approve this message.”

Imagine that. Former President George H.W. Bush recently bought his son, Neil, a Chevrolet Volt as a birthday present. This is the car that all right-thinking, right-wingers demand we hate.
In their political prism, the Volt has everything going against it: It’s beloved by environmentalists for getting 61 miles to the gallon of fuel. It’s assembled by unionized workers at General Motors’ Detroit-Hamtramck plant. It enjoys government subsidies intended to encourage the production of fuel-efficient cars — started by H.W.’s oldest son, former President George W. Bush.
To many, this resembles progress. But to conservatives wanting government-bailed-out Detroit to go down, especially if the United Auto Workers union goes with it, this plug-in hybrid is the car that has to die.
Lo and behold, U.S. car sales were hot last month, with General Motors selling more than 100,000 vehicles that get at least 30 mpg. And sales of its Chevy Volt more than doubled from the month before.
The irony is that GM has temporarily stopped production of the Volt following earlier weak sales. Why? The right-wing media had launched an outrageous smear campaign against it. As former GM executive Bob Lutz sarcastically put it, the Volt had become “the poster child for President [Barack] Obama’s socialist meddling in the free automotive market.”
Lutz responded with special anger to a recent “Bill O’Reilly” Fox News show in which the host condemned the Volt as “an unmitigated disaster.” Joshing over the disappointing Volt sales, O’Reilly’s guest, Lou Dobbs said, “It doesn’t work.” Also, “It catches fire.”
None of this is true. The European-market Volt worked well enough to be named the European car of the year. The “catching fire” claim is fiction, Lutz said, based on battery tests “under extremely destructive experimental conditions.” Two of the three batteries involved weren’t in a car. No Volt has ever caught fire in an accident on a public road, he added, while between 2003 and 2007, some 278,000 gas-powered cars did.
Sadly, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has lowered himself by catering to feverish right-wing fantasies. He softened the rhetoric a bit by advancing the myth that an already weak General Motors and Chrysler could have survived in bankruptcy reorganization without government help. Most economists deemed that scenario impossible at a time of economic meltdown, when nearly all lending had stopped. And who would buy a car from a bankrupt company not backed by the government?
Judging from past writings on energy policy, Romney probably subscribes to a Bush-like belief that government has a role in helping Americans reduce their oil consumption. But he did join the anti-Volt pile-on this week. Using past tense he commented, “I’m not sure America was ready for the Chevy Volt.” Then he wished it well.
What weird brand of politics revels at the prospect of plowing under a U.S. product so innovative that the Chinese are wanting its engineering secrets? It’s a politics that:
• Ignores the huge subsidies that other governments, including China’s, are pouring into energy technology.

In an example of one of many similarities to be found by those who choose to read and find factual evidence instead of being told what to think by major media outlets who espouse one or the other of two ideological standpoints:
By 2009, Senate Banking Chairman Chris Dodd had recieved $280,000 in donations from insurer AIG, a major player in the “bailout” situation which contributed to our current financial woes.
Barack Obama received $104,000 from AIG in his 2008 campaign
George W. Bush received $200,000 through the course of his campaigns.
John McCain recieved $99,000 at the same time that Obama received $104,000 in 2008.
Companies like AIG, Goldman Sachs,(of which Timothy Geithner is a former employee), and corporations in different areas of commerce such as Monsanto, have continually benefited no matter the political party in power, and have taken more and more power and hegemony to themselves.
Is it possible, as a modifier to the question, that more ambiguous differences used to stoke the fires of hatred and intolerance among the “right” and the “left” of the American populace, and which are never really fully addressed or resolved in any real way, such as abortion, gay rights, “big” vs. “small” government, etc, are purposefully exacerbated in order to keep the American people from thinking and acting collectively so that questions about where power is really placed and how it affects all of us regardless of ideological differences are never asked?
FOX News, the “Conservative” news, is owned by the gigantic “News Corp”, which controls a disproportionate amount of media outlets including many newspapers and other mediums, and which has ties to other corporate interests.
MSNBC, the “Liberal” news, is owned by GE, who owns all NBC affiliates and outlets, is associated through stock holdings to many other corporations, and which is also one of the world’s top ten defense contractors.
So again, what does this information tell us? Will we have a tendency in answering this to provide a stance which defends our “right” or “left” philosophy and demonizes the opposite side as having more blame in the circumstances that the above indisputable and retrievable facts indicate? If so, how then do we explain the monies paid to politicians of both “sides”, and that both “sides” have been equal in furthering the interests of those who have paid them?
If you identify yourself as “right” or “left”, do you feel that the ideologies of the other side are the sources of all destructive societal tendencies? If so, does this seem reasonable to you if you detach yourself from emotion and look objectively? Does it seem likely that all of the world’s complex problems can be boiled down to only TWO diametrically opposed viewpoints? Is it reasonable to say that if a group of inviduals wanted to divide and control a population, that manipulating emotion and ideological differences used to provoke emotional reaction and which are strongly tied to various religous beliefs, which are usually deep-seated, would be a smart and effective way to divide people so utterly that they would later find it almost impossible to view the other side as anything but a bitter enemy that can never be reconciled with?

President Barack Obama’s much-maligned holiday vacation turned into an even bigger PR nightmare today as it emerged that he and his wife took separate government jets to Martha’s Vineyard just hours apart.
Michelle Obama was revealed to have arrived at the Massachusetts retreat, only 500 miles from Washington, four hours before her husband yesterday.
She was accompanied by their daughters Malia, 13, and Sasha, 10, and landed at around 2pm – four hours earlier than the President.The extra transport to get the the First Lady to the island for only a few more hours of vacation time will have cost taxpayers thousands in additional expenses.The costs related to Mrs Obama’s solo trip mainly include the flight on the specially designed military aircraft she took instead of Air Force One, as well as any extra staff and Secret Service that had to be enlisted to go with her.
She would also have had her own motorcade from the airport to her vacation residence.
The President had already drawn scorn for using two helicopters and Air Force One to get to Martha’s Vineyard.
The President will be staying with his family at the Blue Heron Farm, a sprawling, $50,000-per-week estate with plenty of room for staff and Secret Service agents accompanying him on the trip.
The family are to spend 10 days in a rented compound.
The President arrived on this wealthy Massachusetts island retreat as the stock market plunged and a new poll showed just 11 per cent of Americans are happy with the way things are in the country.
Is he tone deaf to the American people or just doesn’t really care? What’s next? Michelle saying let them eat cake?

More bad news for the White House as Rasmussen announced today that just 17 percent of likely US voters believe the country is heading in the right direction, the lowest level of public confidence since Barack Obama took office. According to Rasmussen, a staggering 75 percent of voters now believe the country is heading down the wrong track, including a clear majority (58 percent) of Democrats, and 77 percent of Independents:
Seventy-five percent (75%) of voters say the country is heading down the wrong track, the highest finding since early January 2009. Since that time, voter pessimism had ranged from 57% to 72%.
Most Republicans (91%) and voters not affiliated with either political party (77%) believe the country is heading down the wrong track. Even a strong majority (58%) of Democrats now say the country is heading in the wrong direction.
Forty percent (40%) of black voters say the country is heading in the right direction, a view shared by just 15% of white voters and just as many voters of other ethnicities (15%).
Roughly half (51%) of the Political Class are confident in the nation’s current course, while 84% of Mainstream voters are not.
Hey libs: It’s okay to cry
