According
to Daily Kos:
As
you might have heard, this slogan was actually "borrowed" word
for word and without permission from the television program Friday Night
Lights, in which the high school football team would chant
"Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can't Lose!" as a rallying cry.
As
you might imagine, this did not sit well with the show's creator, Peter Berg.
In fact, Berg was so upset that he penned an angry letter to Mitt Romney,
accusing him of plagiarism, saying that his campaign's values were antithetical
to the themes of the show, and demanding that the campaign stop using those
words and instead come up with its own, original slogan.
The
Romney-Ryan campaign has instead doubled down on using the pilfered slogan, and
has even started selling merchandise emblazoned with the words.
It's
just another example of how Romney does what he damn well pleases without
thought to others, despite possible legal ramifications. His sense of
entitlement and "better-than-thou" attitude is repugnant and indicative of his true
personality and moral values.
