new ron paul ad : immigration

Best ad yet. I love the part about ending student visas from terrorist nations...they're finally getting it.
 
the campaign is trying to corner the immigration issue voters, now that Tancredo is out.

Smart move. Fred Thompson doesn't have the money to do it, and Paul is stronger on immigration than McCain (of course), Romney, Giuliani, or Huckabee.

Is this going up in Iowa before the primary?

It is smart to go after the Tancredo supporters, every little bit helps. In Iowa this ad will play well, hope they keep it out of New Hampshire though.
 
THIS was the issue that rallied many Americans to action this past summer, and again, Ron Paul outshines them all.
 
The tone of this makes me a little uncomfortable.

While their positions are the same, I liked Ralph Nader's approach to the question better. "End illegal immigration, it's exploitative and it's bad for them AND us," not "end illegal immigration, immigrants are scary and they're bringing this country down."

Welcome to the Republican party my friend.
 
I agree, the tone of that ad is much, much to anti-immigrant. Its one thing to secure, our borders, I could even live with the no birthright citizenship thing, but now this - no student visas?

How does this help us with getting moderates or liberals to vote for Paul? Its xenophobic and validated all the charges of racism against Paul.

Frankly, I am getting tired of support Paul against this shit, why should I defend him to my liberal friends when the campaign fucks this stuff up.

1) No returned donation from Don Black

2) No strong statements against racism

How does this advertisement help with the latino or asian vote? How does it help with the liberal vote, how does it help with the religious vote? How does it help us get moderate or mainstream republicans?

its doesn't, none of it does.

I'm beginning to regret my support for Paul.
 
Grammar Police!

Okay, it's me - the grammar police.

VISAS not VISA'S

Thank you. That will be all.

I guess maybe this does prove that they're running a frugal campaign if they can't afford to pay someone to grammar-check :D

How does it validate the charges of racism? He´s saying we need to get control of illegal immigration, and he´s outlining the ways to do it. He´s not saying ¨Mexicans are bad,¨he´s saying that illegal immigration is bad.

And he has made strong statements against racism. Plenty of them:

Show your liberal friends those links when they bring this up to you.
 
I think it might be seen as a little demeaning in some eyes. . . specifically talking about the scene where you got people scrambling to get up a barren hill. It looks kinda bad, I personally wouldn't have used it.

I believe it shows reality.
 
it will get votes from conservatives

It will get votes...but i would agree that the photo going up the hill vs criminal elements photos that everyone can agree on would have been more common.

Still though production quality is a little better than the past.

What he really needs now is something like the seniors for ronpaul site in an ad.

Plus endorsement ads...and the like...

This will definitely reach a lot of Iowa and NH voters

REALLY!!! What are they smoking up there??

Hope they find the boo boo and correct it before it hits the airwaves. Looks very amateurish.
