New Video Compilation Goes After Mitt Romney’s Liberal Positions on a Host of Issues

Here is a new compilation video that chronicles Gov. Mitt Romney’s positions on a whole host of issues. Some of the clips are of Romney many years ago taking very liberal positions on abortion, which he says now he is against. But many of the clips are more recent, and show Romney taking positions on issues like President Obama’s $787 Billion Stimulus Bill – which Romney supported, and the TARP bailout – which he also supported.

The Hill recently reported on the group that produced this video – “The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama” – and their plans to launch a major ad campaign in Iowa focusing on Mitt Romney’s past liberal positions:

THE HILL: The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama will launch a major ad campaign in Iowa accusing Mitt Romney for being a flip-flopping liberal in disguise.

The group has a long version of the ad, titled “Liberal Mitt’s greatest hits,” with clips of Romney taking positions that are anathema to many conservatives today.

Spokesman Ryan Gill described the initial video as a “roadmap” for the ads that will be aired, and said the group will run a six-figure ad buy in Iowa on cable and broadcast television to knock down Romney’s numbers there and damage his “inevitability argument.”

Gill said that the group is likely to expand the effort to attack Romney in other early-voting states including New Hampshire and Nevada, although the size of those ad buys is contingent on fundraising.
