Attack Ads, Circa 1800
Have this year's negative political ads really "taken dirty to a whole new level, as CNN's Anderson Cooper frets? Is a "return to civility...a relic of a bygone era," as President Barack Obama laments? Er, not exactly. If anonymous political speech, the other widely decried villain of this political season, helped found the United States, attack ads are as American as apple pie. If you fancy yourself a patriot or a history buff, you will most certainly approve this message, which is taken from statements made by, for, and against the nation's founders. Approximately 1.45 minutes. Written and produced by Meredith Bragg. Voiced by Caleb Brown, Michael C. Moynihan, and Austin Bragg. Check out "The Positives of Negative Campaigning," why "Attack Ads Are Good For You." and Reason's 2006 list of the "Top 10 Dirtiest Political Campaigns" in US history.

Steel
Learn more: www.romneyeconomics.com Kansas City's GST Steel had been making steel rods for 105 years when Romney and his partners took control in 1993. They cut corners and extracted profit from the business at every turn, placing it deeply in debt. When the company eventually declared bankruptcy, workers not only lost their jobs but were denied their full pensions and health insurance, and the government was forced to step in and provide a bailout.

DNC's Ted Nugent Mitt Romney Attack Ad
via Chicago Tribune: "The DNC calls on Romney to denounce controversial remarks made by Nugent at an NRA convention. As Rebekah Metzler reports, Democrats are attacking Mitt Romney over remarks made by musician and gun enthusiast Ted Nugent, who has endorsed Romney, during a radio interview at a recent National Rifle Association event. Nugent called President Obama and members of his administration "criminals" and promised that if Obama is re-elected, "I will either be dead or in jail." He also told listeners at the guns rights rally, "If you can't go home and get everybody in your lives to clean house in this vile, evil, America-hating administration, I'm don't even know what you are made of."

Newt Gingrich: Selling Access
The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign announced today the release of its latest ad, 'Selling Access', another two-minute web video aimed at former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, calling him out as a corrupt Washington insider who got rich through influence-peddling. The video, which the campaign plans to promote prominently on conservative web sites, includes a clip of Gingrich calling himself an 'insider' and another in which the former Speaker brags about getting paid $60000-a-speech. The video comes after the viral success of Paul's earlier web ad, 'Serial Hypocrisy', which criticizes Gingrich for many of the same issues. www.ronpaul2012.com

Obama James Bond Attack Ad By American Crossroads
Via The Huffington Post: "A new James Bond-style advertisement from Karl Rove-linked super PAC American Crossroads takes aim at President Barack Obama's recent "hot mic" moment, casting him as "President Flexible." The minute-and-a-half-long ad seeks to capitalize on the president's recent exchange with outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, during which Obama said he would have "more flexibility" after the upcoming US election to discuss missile defense. Medvedev said he would "transmit" the information to incoming Russian President Vladimir Putin...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down. * www.huffingtonpost.com Subscribe to The Young Turks: bit.ly Find out how to watch The Young Turks on Current by clicking here: www.current.com The Largest Online New Show in the World.

He says he's gone to the vet, but there is no record of him serving in any military branch. Would Hank force females to undergo an ultrasound before being spayed? And should a Maine Coon really be running for Senate in Virginia? We need more facts and fewer fat cats in Washington. Paid for by Canines for a Feline Free Tomorrow Super PAC

Stephanie Cutter: Get the facts on Mitt Romney, Big Oil, and the Koch Brothers
Join the Truth Team: my.barackobama.com Share this on Facebook: my.barackobama.com Tweet this: my.barackobama.com Stephanie Cutter, Deputy Campaign Manager, shares the facts about Big Oil's latest attack. "Hi I'm Stephanie Cutter I'm the Deputy Campaign Manager here at Obama for America and I wanted to arm you with the facts about the latest attach from Big Oil. You may have heard of the Koch brothers they're secretive oil billionaires bankrolling Republican campaigns and now they're backing Mitt Romney. Pretty simple reason for this, President Obama would take away billions of dollars in unnecessary oil tax breaks --Mitt Romney would protect them. So now they're spending six million dollars on an ad that is so blatantly false the Washington Post said that they have no shame. Let's get the facts out because it's important that you guys know the truth. President Obama has helped create hundreds of thousands of clean energy jobs. Projects in all 50 states. And the way these oil billionaires and their front group completely ignore the truth is breathtaking. Let's take some crazy examples from their attack ad. They claim the administration gave money to build electric cars in Finland. No, the Department of Energy's funding was specifically for US jobs at US facilities. Sure enough the company is employing 700 workers in California and their planning to build a plant in Delaware. Okay another ridiculous claim: they said we sent money to China to build traffic lights. That's <b>...</b>

Swiss Bank Account
Are you in? my.barackobama.com "Swiss Bank Account" highlights Mitt Romney's belief that a strong economy is built on outsourcing, loopholes and risky financial deals. As a corporate CEO, he shipped American jobs to places like Mexico and China. As governor, Romney outsourced state jobs to India, and now as a candidate for president he is pushing tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. Romney's economic scheme stands in stark contrast with President Obama's efforts to continue moving the country forward by rebuilding an economy that's meant to last, by out-building, out-innovating and out-educating the rest of the world, and making the things the rest of the world buys by closing loopholes and providing incentives that are bringing jobs back to America.

The Liberal Party of Canada today launched a new online and radio ad called "Not so fast, Jack" which offers a reality check on Jack Layton and the NDP.

"NDP Reality Check. In this election the NDP refuses to be principled and support the gun registry. They're promising 70 billion dollars in new spending they can't possibly pay for.And they have incredibly inexperienced candidates. After 26 years as a career politician, shouldn't Jack Layton know better. The NDP: Evasion on gun control and chaos on the economy. Higher Taxes. No real team. Uh ... not so fast Jack."

Stephanie Cutter: Get the facts on Karl Rove's BS
Facebook it: my.barackobama.com Tweet it: my.barackobama.com Tumblr it: my.barackobama.com Stephanie Cutter shares the facts against the latest ad put out by Karl Rove and his Super PAC: Crossroads. "Hi, I'm Stephanie Cutter, Deputy Campaign Manager at Obama for America. Well, here we are again. Karl Rove's group, Crossroads, is spending $25 million from secret donors to tear down the president in a new ad out today. Time to tear this thing apart. First up -- the attack ad says the president has not helped people who face foreclosure. That is flat out wrong. Because of President Obama's policies and the efforts he set in motion, over 5.9 million homeowners were able to modify their mortgages, avoid foreclosure, and stay in their homes. And the president is fighting to get Congress to go further -- to let responsible homeowners who pay their mortgages on time to refinance and save on their monthly payments, even if they are underwater. The president is doing this because he believes homeownership is critical to helping middle class families build for their future. And don't forget: Mitt Romney's plan on this? Well I'll just let him speak for himself: ROMNEY: 'Don't try and stop the foreclosure process, let it run its course and hit the bottom.' I'd like to say that's unbelievable, but with Mitt Romney, it's really not. Second, the ad says the president broke a promise to cut taxes on middle class Americans. They're wrong again. President Obama has cut taxes for all working <b>...</b>
