The ad is entitled &#8220;Meet Richard Hayes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>HAYES: My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Mitt Romney\u2019s trash. We kind of like the invisible people, you know? He doesn\u2019t realize, you know, that the service we provide, you know. If it wasn\u2019t for us, you know, there\u2019d be a big health issue, us not picking up trash. Residents do come out and shake our hands. Sometimes they give us hugs and thank us for the job we\u2019re doing; hand us waters and Gatorades. You know, tell us we\u2019re doing a good job and keep up the good work. &#8230; Picking up 15, 16 tons by hand, you know, that takes a toll on your body. When I\u2019m 55, 60 years old, I know my body\u2019s gonna be [sic] break down. Mitt Romney doesn\u2019t care about that.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/68q28r7m_FU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That it is not a parody. (laughing) That was Romney\u2019s garbage man. (interruption) &#8220;Sixteen Tons, and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt.&#8221; So that\u2019s Romney\u2019s garbage guy. Romney doesn\u2019t care. Romney doesn\u2019t come out and hug him! Romney doesn\u2019t give him water! Romney doesn\u2019t give him Gatorade. This guy, 15, 16 tons, it &#8220;takes a toll.&#8221; &#8220;When I\u2019m 55, 60 years old, I know my body\u2019s gonna be break down,&#8221; and Romney doesn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n<p>So Romney killed the guy\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n<p>Romney\u2019s a felon.<\/p>\n<p>Now Romney doesn\u2019t care about his own garbage man, and team Obama, they are definitely specialists in garbage. They traffic in it, they swim in it, they know everything about it. That\u2019s where it happens. I mean, that\u2019s all they\u2019ve got? If that\u2019s all they got, is go after Romney\u2019s garbage guy&#8230;?

They found out as governor he worked different jobs around the state.  And one of the jobs that Romney did when he was governor, one day he gathered trash as a garbage collector to find out about the job.  He has collected garbage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This next sound bite is not a parody. It is an actual Obama campaign ad. This is not from Saturday Night Live.
