A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

"Tricky Mitt" Ad Creates a Stir

What do you call a Presidential candidate who won't release more than a year's worth of tax returns?  Secretive?  What do you call this candidate when he parks his money in foreign bank accounts?  Does the word "tricky" come to mind?  That's the word the Move On organization came up with to describe Mitt Romney as he has attempted to run for the highest office in the land while seemingly hiding as much of the details about his financial past as possible.

Those of a certain age will remember the last Presidential candidate who was called "tricky."  Long before Watergate, voters were asked whether they wold buy a used car from this man.  There just seemed to be something a bid shady about the fellow. 

So now thanks to modern technology Mitt Romeny can morph into Richard Nixon and -- quick! -- back again.  The ad which can be viewed below courtesy of CBS News, is clever indeed.  Mitt Romney is suddenly very much on the defensive with nothing much to recommend him for the White House except the fact that he helped pass a health care act in Massachusetts which later become something of a model for the federal Act. 

The Romney campaign has sprung a leak.  Time to call the Plumbers?
