Better Red Than Undead? Obama Ad Calls Romney a “Vampire”

We have been discussing how mean=spirited and nasty the presidential campaign has already become on both sides. With Republicans called Obama a socialist and a Muslim, Democrats are saying Romney would not have killed Bin Laden . . . and now that he is vampiric.

The new ad, “Steel” describes GS Technologies, a steel mill in Kansas City, Mo., that was bought by Romney’s private equity firm Bain Capital. One former mill worker says “We view Mitt Romney as a job destroyer, a vampire. They came in and sucked the life out of us.” “Mitt the Job Destroyer” is still better than “Vlad the Impaler” but they seem to be saying that he is both.

The question is how strong the anti-vampire vote is. After all, Obama is no Buffy The Vampire Slayer himself, but then again who is?

Before the Republicans denounce the ad, they should consider that there could be some positive aspects to an undead president for the GOP:

1. They work nights.

2. They truly can take the bite out of crime.

3. They are always taking the pulse of voters.

5. One meeting of the Group of Eight would leave a group of one.

6. The GOP would finally secure the Goth vote.

7. We would finally have a president who is all bite and no bark.

8. Republicans can re-use those “Drill, Baby, Drill” signs.

9. No one is more anti-evolution than a vampire.

10. Perfect for the slogan, “Better Undead than Red.”
