In a new video from Rick Santorum, it is hardly morning in America. It is more like apocalypse in America.
From the opening sequence of a large raven to subsequent images of boarded-up buildings, a 1950s-style fallout shelter and alternating views of President Obama with the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, this is one bleak future.
The video is meant to show the consequences of re-electing Mr. Obama.
-snip-
John Brabender, the Santorum strategist who made the video, said it was a trailer for an eight-part series that will start in two weeks. Each of those videos will show how various Obama policies, such as those regarding health care and energy, have affected everyday life.

You’re welcome!
I am a Newt supporter and I love this video. I would love Santorum more if the ideas expressed in this video came out of his mouth, daily, instead of him folding every time he needs to make a strong conservative stand. That’s my problem with him.
I posted it to my Facebook. It scared me.
I like the lambent “evil eyes” formed by the limbs of a tree and set alight by the low sun. Nice touch. They come at 0;45-0;46 with the words “welcome to a place...”
I was willing to take another look at Rick this morning, but then I saw this video. It's funny, but it's going to backfire big time. And I bet Rick backs away from the ad.
I'll vote for whoever the Republican nominee is, but I was just hoping I wouldn't have to hold my nose again. It sounds like the establishment is going to have their way either with Romney or Jeb Bush. More of the same and it is possible that Obama will be reelected. I feel like the old woman sitting on the couch in Rick's ad.
In case you missed it...
It's doing just what a trailer is supposed to do: generate buzz, interest, even controversy. I suspect your "whys" will be forthcoming in the following installments.
The sodomites are squealing like stuck pigs...conservatives don’t care for this because it paints an ugly future that they would rather deny is coming...
Newt would never make a video this divisive or stupid. It alienates the majority of the population who elected Obama, or who are not political by nature. You don't win them over by insulting them further.
You especially don't win elections by angering the press into a raged frenzy. Richard Nixon learned that lesson the hard way, and even Herman Cain made the same mistake in a milder form. You know how well that turned out, don't you?
If Newt HAD made this you’d praise him.
Newt could say anything whatever to the press, anger them however which way
and
you
would
praise
him
for
standing
up
to
the
press.
You have a double standard. You proved it by the way you sidestepped my point.
Double-standard.
Double-double-standard.
That’s my problem with these “debates.” None of the candidates have had a chance to speak for more than a minute or two.
Wife and I got to see and hear Rick in Osage Beach, MO two weeks ago. He spoke for about an hour and the event allowed for a full formulation of thoughts and positions on issues.
“And I bet Rick backs away from the ad.”
How much?
See post 47.
They have been coming out of his mouth. If you only get him through the MSNM-FRingrich filter you don’t get him.
Period.
I’m not convinced.
Well, you have a point that the GOP should be running hard-hitting commercials against obama...couldn’t agree more.
Hey, KATHARINE Q. SEELYE - here’s a tape of some New York Times connected ‘journalists’ talking about how to help Obama, how to HELP Occupy, how NPR and PBS cheat on their taxes - and how cool it is - and how they feel contempt for conservatives.
They’re liberal elites of ‘your type’ - arrogant, biased, hateful. Enjoy:

Great ads - what do you find negative?
very polarizing
