$23 Million for What? More crap ads?

[Ruby Justice]

Sorry, but what people are producing on their own costs $0.00 to the campaign and is much more effective. I haven't seen a single ad from HQ that matched the winning ad that was aired on the CNN/Youtube debacle.

I'm royally turned off by the new immigration ad, and I'm sure others are too.

Are you kidding?


The CNN/Youtube ad was atrocious. It wasn't very professional at all.


The Campaign's ads, likewise though, have been downright horrible, up until the last 2 or 3 ads. The production value has been kicked up a huge notch. They still have a long way to go though.

Admitted, the ads got off to a bad start, but they've been getting a lot better. I think they're finally (FINALLY) hitting their stride.

The latest immigration ad was one of their best if not the best one yet, and the majority agree with me.

 

[risiusj]

Like it or not, the money has to go through the national campaign for us to win this thing.

 

[N13]

Besides producing the ads, the most significant cost is televising them. If there are no funds for that, the best commercials in the world have nothing more than free internet exposure.

This campaign needs exposure on TV and Radio. That costs money. To do it effectively for Super Tuesday, its going to take a lot of $$$$$$$$.

Majority do. But a minority are pissed off because of "terrorist nations" language and they believe he'll say students can't come to this country on a student visa if they are from the middle east.

They seem to be forgetting that Ron Paul wants to stop the war, overturn the Patriot Act, the Military Commission Act, save the economy, save money, stop future wars, etc.

They won't put in any other money because they are royally pissed with an ad that is not targeted for them. They want all advertisements to appeal to them, and they want the wording to be less strong or not even there.

I agree 100%. I was a media arts major. I give all of the ads so far an F-.

I have sent them scripts for professional quality ads. headquarters is not listening. The ads they have been producing thus far almost lead me to believe there is a mole from one of the other campaigns intentionally sabotaging things.

Everyone needs to contact headquarters and demand change immediately.

Uhh, I think the new immigration ad is their best one. It resembles a FrankDogg ad and it hits on one of the most important issues to Republicans at the moment, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!

If you don't want to contribute, DON'T, let others who want to help Ron Paul win do so. For the record I've contributed to both the campaign and to independant efforts and think that both are important and necessary to win. There is no media coverage generated from independant efforts and there would not be any moneybombs generated for independant efforts too so there would likely be much less funds overall if the campaign did NOTHING and relied solely on grassroots efforts.

Maybe you guys jumping on the "I HATE THE NEW IMMIGRATION AD" bandwagon should go over to www.ronpaullibrary.org and read his articles he's written in the past on immgration, and on the war on terror too. I mean c'mon guys, I even hear Alex Jones screaming how much he "hates Al Qaeda" too!

And, since this is a criticism of the official campaign, this thread will be moved to hot topics, or some other "free speech zone".

Geez, between the "terrorist nations" (whatever happened to "terrorism is a tactic"?), the expensive bureaucratic incompetence, and the herd mentality, this campaign looks each time more like the things we are supposed to be fighting.

I think the ad was great. And I honestly think they know more about the people they are targeting their ads at then you do.

 

[Liberty Star]

Lets put this $23 mil thing on hold for now.

Oh my, that tin foil hat is stylish on you!

The ad was not good. It wasn't just the language. The production values are also low. All of these ads are being done on video. They need to be using film and then bumping over to digital fr editing. Shows like C.S.I., Dexter, and the Wire are done this way and that's why they have better contrast and depth.

Also, he should never say "overturn the patriot act". That's falling into the trap of accepting the name "Patriot Act". We o this forum understand that it is an unpatriotic act but many less informed people will interpret that as "Ron Paul is unpatriotic". He should instead say he is against wiretapping, and spying on US citizens.

The ads have been getting better.

The production quality is amazing. You're off your rockers if you thought that was "bad" quality.

And you are saying he should change his language, while at the same time getting mad at him for using strong language in the new ad?

 

[Ron Paul Fan]

The ad was a masterpiece. Ron Paul should say that he wants to overturn or repeal the patriot act all he wants. He can do whatever he wants. He doesn't want to run my life and I don't want to run his. The HQ ads have been getting better and better. The last 2 have been extremely good and I guess I'm one of the few left who supports Ron Paul 100%.

I'm the second out of the few! Who's the third!

Right here, though I KNOW that the market and private charity wouldn't leave people out on the street and I'm sure Ron Paul knows that too!

Thank you Ozzy! We could use more people like you and me around here who never give up faith in Ron Paul. I think Ron Paul is going to surprise a lot of people here in a couple days. When he does well it'll be because of people like you and I who stood by him through thick and thin. He defends our freedom! Ron Paul for President!!!!!!!
