One Question: Why No Anti-War Ads?

[MayTheRonBeWithYou]

is there any way to get a message to the campaign to jump on this McCain 100 year gaffe?

it's tailor made for a 30- or 60-second Ron Paul TV ad.

Ads should be made that show what the Dems are really saying compared to RP.

Yes. This message is what inspired college kids in Jefferson County to win outright.

This is where the area of expansion for RP to gain votes in NH is.

All they need to do is spend some of our millions by pasting the TV's in NH with Obama's voting record on all of the war and torture money votes.

They can compare them to McCaine's votes for some Republican color.

Do they want votes in NH or not??

well, there definetly should be an economy commerical.. I mean, that is one of his strongest suites... yet, he is running ads that ALL the candidates do, so who are they to believe? The one with charisma. Not the honest one. You can't tell honesty thru a tv.


personally, they are not playing this right.

I don't know how open they are to suggestions.

It seems they could make some killers just by clipping spots out of interviews and debates.

A good Youtube I saw juxtapositioned 15 seconds of McCain talking about how they all came to Washington to change Washington but Washington changed them with RP's humble but effective response.

IMO, the ads all suck. YouTube ads are wonderful however. If I were making a voting decision (I'm not) and saw the Paul ads, I wouldn't even consider him based on those ads alone. They don't match the man's personality.

Its really a shame. All they had to have done was let some geek who understood the issues edit RP's killer youtubes. But its too late now. Its pretty depressing.

I'm supposed to be making calls on this list of voters in my NV precinct, but instead I'm bitching about this $20 million Libertarian-esque advertising campaign. My wife's out in another precinct knocking on doors and just called to report finding 3 new RP leaning households--heretofore-not flagged.

And then I read that that big Rasumussen 14% poll number is really a bogus play-money prediction market?? I hope that's not true. Life is hard.....I"m depressed. At least the blimp people posted where they were on their blog for once today. That's something to be happy about.

this was a reply i got form a volunteer:
Come the national election, we will try to emphasize Dr. Paul's position on Iraq even more, but as of now it appears that there are many Ron Paul supporters who are not necessarily against the war and are simply voting for his monetary policy, his immigration policy, and his other domestic policies.

I still think the should stress the anti-war more.

Right! At least let RP speak for himself. If we have to hear about anti-immigration, let's hear it from him. In the excellent Q&A's that I've heard, RP says he does NOT want to build walls and scapegoat people. Why pay millions to hear a 3rd rate Tancredo-style scapegoating ad that doesn't match RP's ideas or spirit.
