CLEVELAND, OHIO – The Romney’s are preparing for Halloween
with candy and a document they call The Parent’s Pledge. According to an
anonymous campaign spokesperson, the Romney’s will pass out candy only to Trick
or Treaters who sign the pledge promising that their parent’s will vote for the
Republican presidential candidate.
“Children have to learn early that there are certain
responsibilities related to receiving treats,” said the spokesperson. “Mr. Romney
does not believe that children should expect a handout simply because it’s
Halloween. Signing the pledge is an incentive, the kids earn their reward, and
we believe that this approach results in more responsible Trick or Treaters.”
A new ad scheduled to appear in swing states today is
already being assailed by Democrats as false and misleading. The ad shows Trick
or Treaters ringing the doorbell of the White House. A man resembling President
Obama answers the door and hands out candy bars that are clearly embedded with
nails, razors and glass shards. As the children leave, the Obama stand in is
seen laughing maniacally in the doorway.
In response to the Democrat’s complaint, the Romney campaign
insisted this was based on eyewitness accounts of Halloween’s from the previous
three years, although they would not provide any affidavits or documentation
related to this charge. “It’s common knowledge in DC,” said the Romney
spokesperson, referring reporters to a recent Rush Limbaugh radio show segment
for further details.
