Romney to appear at Okra Strut; unveils new ad

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney will march in the Irmo Okra Strut on Sept. 29, the former Massachusetts governor’s campaign announced Friday.

Romney also will launch another new television ad in South Carolina on Saturday, spokesman Will Holley said.
No other details were available about Romney’s trip to the state next week.

The new ad, entitled “Change Begins With Us,” will join a previous ad, “Tested, Proven,” on S.C. airwaves. The campaign would not release details on how long the ads will run or on which networks.

To view the ad on the Internet, go to mitt-tv.mittromney.com/?showid378734.

The new ad features Romney speaking about his belief that change is needed in Washington and takes a swipe at his fellow Republicans. Here is the script:

ROMNEY: “If we’re going to change Washington, Republicans have to put our own house in order.
“We can’t be like Democrats —a party of big spending.
“We can’t pretend our borders are secure from illegal immigration.
“We can’t have ethical standards that are a punch line for Jay Leno.
“When Republicans act like Democrats, America loses.
“It’s time for Republicans to start acting like Republicans.
“It’s time for a change and change begins with us.
“I’m Mitt Romney and I approve this message.”

When Republicans act like Democrats, then the troops get to come home and receive the proper medical care and support that they deserve.


Is Mitt bringing his pink gay-pride flyers with him to hand out or is he just bring "the hair"?
