Boston, MA – Today, Romney for President released a new radio ad titled “No Laughing Matter.” Last night, Vice President Joe Biden said “We don’t need more M1 tanks.” This would take away one of the most vital weapons in our military arsenal – made in Ohio – and the Obama budget would shut down the only M1 tank plant in the country. The Obama-Biden plan to cut our defense budget will impact jobs in Ohio and impact our country’s national security and it is one more reason Ohio can’t afford four more years of this administration.
AD FACTS: Script For “No Laughing Matter”:
VOICEOVER: “Vice President Joe Biden said it…”
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: “We don’t need more M1 tanks.”
VOICEOVER: “…and in Lima, Ohio, we heard it loud and clear.”
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: “We don’t need more M1 tanks.”
VOICEOVER: “While the world grows more hostile and unstable every day, the White House wants to take away one of the most vital weapons in our arsenal--made right here in Ohio. Giving our troops the tools they need just isn’t a priority for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Their own budget would shut down America’s only M-1 tank plant.”
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: “We don’t need more M1 tanks.”
VOICEOVER: “As an Ohioan, you know that’s not just an attack against our ability to defend our freedom. It’s also an attack against our jobs and our way of life. Two attacks. Which one is worse?”
MITT ROMNEY: “I’m Mitt Romney, I’m running for president, and I approved this message.”
VOICEOVER: “Paid for by Romney for President, Incorporated.”
VOICEOVER: “Remember Joe Biden said it…”
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: “We don’t need more M1 tanks.”
