Here’s what $20 million in the bank can do for you -- If you’re GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney it buys the ability to create slick television ads wrapping conservative themes and a strong military policy together into a neat patriotic package.
Of course, these ads come a week after the first GOP debate in which all the candidates vied to out muscle each other on the “strength” issue.
The copy writers for the 30-second ad, which began airing in Iowa, New Hampshire and in other selected states (mostly on Faux News Channel) must have been on Red, White and Blue steroids: “This isn’t the time for us to shrink from conservative principles. It’s a time for us to stand in strength,” Romney said in the ad. “America must remain the world’s military superpower. If we lock our arms together, we can forge the political will to rebuild our military might.”
How cute by half to talk about being a military superpower but no mention of Iraq. How about “rebuild our military might”? It’s a slick maneuver to distance himself from the current decider-in-chief without mentioning Bush’s name.
Well, as Annie Hall said, “la de da, la de da.”
