Romney Intro Video: Miss It? You Should See it No Hotdogging, No Greek Pillars, No Indonesia
Maggie's Notebook ^ | 8-31-12 | Maggie@MaggiesNotebook

The claims of Mitt Romney being unapproachable, stiff, doesn't care about people, a murderer, a job-snatcher, ridiculous. As hubby says, "if you have an emotional connection to Barack Obama, something's wrong with you," or as Clint Eastwood said while he was winding-up to the "Eastwooding" of Obama: "it's just that the conservative people, by the nature of the word itself, play it a little close to the vest...they don't go around hotdogging it.... (no Greek Temple, no smoke, no memories of Indonesia).

I love his son saying "we felt like we were the most important thing in our Dad's life," and "we went to Mom if we needed money. We never went to Dad. He was way too cheap." Then he demonstrates just how cheap "Dad" was.

Amazing how much personal video, going back years, this family has. View the video here.

Your blog doesn’t need any hits for embedding a video.

Shame on you.

Whatever one says about Romney’s position changes etc, he has that air about him of calm, that he can fix it or that everything is going to be okay....something that fits perfectly with this particular campaign. And Independent sees that video, and it goes a country mile toward feeling “safe” voting for him.

I cannot embed a video here. I post full articles, and many do not have videos. I post full transcripts of speeches. Go rag on someone who only post excepts. I had commentary I wanted to share, and remember that I am posting in the Blogger category.

Shame on you!

Grimson Elephant, I agree. He’s a man who can and will step forward in a crisis, and we certainly have one now.

Well, see.. the issue lies with the fact that you are sending folks to your blog to play a video you did not make. Or stole. Pick one.

Any activity by a blogger that is designed to generate hits by advertising on Free Republic draws my attention.

Sorry, I didn’t write the software.

Now, as to your whining about “embedding”...
You need not embed anything. Just grab the link from Youtube
(where you found the video you decided to steal in order to get hits)
and post that bad-boy link right here, instead of directing folks to your
ate-up old nasty filthy blog. Easy-peasy! Don’t be stealin’, yo.

humblegunner, I don’t steal the videos, they are posted with an embed, which gives a link back. I didn’t whine. I stated a fact. Yours is is some of the ugliest rhetoric I’ve seen directed toward bloggers on FR. It takes time and money to blog. I put up full posts here for Free Republic, which I love, and which I appreciate has created a forum for bloggers. No one has to click the link, and much of the time no one does. I still post here because there are so many like-minded, conservative people. The mission is to get the news and the views out, especially in an election year.

So why did your video link route through your blog?

I seem to have managed to post the direct link.

Would you like some instruction?

That maybe true but you could provide the direct link to the video without having to go to your blog to click on it. The following is the direct URL to the video without going to your blog. You get that URL by right clicking on the video and selecting “copy video URL”.. It’s not a big issue to me but neither do I click through blogs to view something either. Take care, keep up the conservative fight and have a good evening.
