Enough About The G-d Commercial!

[JS4Pat]

So now you are absolutely 100% certain that campaign HQ is incompetent?

Since you've asked others to not justify or support the actions of HQ, I will ask you to be quiet unless you have something constructive to offer (NOTE: Criticism can be constructive, but insults are not constructive in the least.)

I'm not asking others to not justify or support the actions of HQ - In fact I'd appreciate hearing some type of REAL explanation for this blunder. I just asked that they not use the "they know what they are doing" defense. That aint gonna cut it on this one.

HQ shouldn't even have to make a comercial... they could just ask their supporters to make 30 sec advertisements and pick the best one(s), the results would be much better and cheaper, IMO. This comercial was a joke, IMO, I hope not too much of our donated money went into putting that on. Sometimes I wonder if we'd be better off with chipins...

I think this is the message we need in this ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LU_e5ezL-U

This video edited into a Ron Paul TV ad is exactly what we need. No expense just the facts! That is a home run!

Has anyone else noticed there is a slow down of subscribers for the 5th???

The ad screams "I'm a long shot, but I hope to "catch on" and be a top-tier guy one day.

Sorry, but the masses respect power and authority, and they vote like their betting on a horse race....not someone who concedes "i'm trying to catch on."

A better catch phrase would have been...'Ron Paul is gonna shock the political Establishment, I'm tellin ya"

And those kids should have been saying..

" Hey, did you hear about that Ron paul guy winning every post debate poll?"
"Yeah. It's amazing. He came out of nowhere and a lot of people are saying he's gonna win NH. I went to his website and really like what he hasd to say. I'm definitely voting for him"

Why exactly are we even considering "scripts" over REALITY??

I want FACT over FANTASY.....Truth over fiction......

Leave the "plastic" at the door.

Too bad we have so many negative folks here.

One introductory TV ad doesn't make us or break us. It's our candidate and message that will win or lose for us in NH.

Maybe so. And if the campaign had actually visited NH more than 6 times in the last 6 months, then maybe the people of NH would know more about our candidate and more about his message.

Instead he went to Wyoming today.

Wyoming is important. Soon, very soon, he will be spending a lot of time in New Hampshire.

The ad rocks. It's perfect for NH. There are quotes in there that work- "I don't always agree with Paul, but he's honest," "He's a doctor, he knows about the healthcare mess," and my personal favorite, "He's catchin on, I'm tellin ya!"

The ad rocks because it works. I know it's tough to get past the cheese, but once you do, you realize it's perfect.

 

[goRPaul]

There's so much more to the ad. The way they transpose from "He protects personal privacy, personal freedom" to the guy who says "Live free or die, New Hampshire," it's exactly what we need. Also, there are young people, possibly students, who are talking about switching to the republican and voting for RP.

I think people who hate the ad need to get over themselves. Calm down, and understand that nothing can bring down the campaign as bad as you're suggesting!

Real cheese VS. Fake cheese


you make the choice.

Better advertisements

I think this is the message we need in this ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LU_e5ezL-U

People would want all sorts of things edited on this, but I think it genuine and would have far broader appeal because of this.

This was from the IowaIndependent outlet.
They have released more than one excellent video for Ron Paul.
I second the motion.

Another outstanding example of supporters being interviewed is
Legalize Freedom - Vote Ron Paul! (by YouTube's DreamPipe)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOkv2IrbFG8
which is a bit long but full of emotionally honest and vibrant dialogue.

The key difference resides between supporters reading scripts which
they are trying to emotionally follow and the emotional and visual connect
that someone has when they are simply speaking in their own words
precisely what they mean.
The scripted 'reads' can never be as emotionally and visually honest
as a person saying what he or she truly believes in their own words.

The objection to 'using their own words' is overcome by simply doing more
takes (as done in Legalize Freedom above) and only using the bits
that strike a chord of resonance with issues.

Also, dressing up is passe, ordinary people respond to ordinarily dressed people,
and that means there needs to be a spectrum of dress-styles
rather than everyone looking like they are dressed for Friday night.
