Romney campaign does not care for fact checkers

Newly nominated Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney released a campaign ad in early August that questioned President Obama’s stance on welfare reform. Critics of the ad believe the topic is a fringe political issue at best, and that the clip is a racially coded attack ad. A Romney media strategist calls the spot “our most effective ad” and that “it’s new information.” As for accusations the ad is factually misleading, Romney pollster Neil Newhouse dismissively retorts, “Fact checkers come to this with their own sets of thoughts and beliefs, and we’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers.” [Source]
