Pro-Paul group unleashes fiery attack ad

[Matt Collins]

​

A super PAC backing Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is pulling no punches with the first attack ad of the 2016 GOP presidential primary, complete with fire-breathing bald eagles and slams of Sens. Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham for their stances on government surveillance.


Mimicking the aggressive style of a wrestling event promo, the one-minute spot teases the Senate debate Sunday ("Sunday! Sunday!") over expiring portions of the Patriot Act as the “greatest brawl for liberty of the century."

The ad, released by America's Liberty PAC, pits a photoshopped picture of Paul’s face on a bodybuilder against President Obama, “the head of the Washington spy machine.”

It also needles Obama’s “so-called conservative accomplices,” Cruz (R-Texas) and Graham (R-S.C.). Cruz, referred to by the super PAC as the “capitulating Canadian” as a dig against the fact that the GOP candidate was born in the country, supports a compromise bill called the USA Freedom Act.

This really sucks!

 

[CaptUSA]

That was just not good.

Cringeworthy but kind of funny

Reminds me of this:

Appealing to the lower intellect voter with an intellectual candidate?

Reminds me of this:

No. That was a good ad. This ad reminds me of this:

Reminds me of this:

Looking at that is like looking at Keira Knightley. Looking at the new one is like looking at Keira Knightley in an old funhouse mirror.

Thanks Jesse Benton.

America's Liberty PAC.

Now we know what we get if we're silly enough to send money to ALPACa. Might as well send it straight to Jeb.

Or did Benton do this for blackmail purposes? Send me money or I'll release this!

ALPACa: Super PAC or Sucker PAC?

what the fuck did I just watch.

does Jesse think the election is decided by testosterone-overloaded bodybuilders when they're tripping?

Against himself? I don't recall ever seeing a more off putting ad.

Reminds me of this:

No, that ^^^ was a good ad. Rand's ad is trash, if you want to describe it in a generous way.

Thanks Jesse Benton.

what a fucking moron.

WTF is this????

Awful Super PAC Ad

Well, this is amateur hour. I really need somebody to convince me that this is the kind of branding that will lead us to a victory. Awful, absolutely awful. Willing to reconsider my opinion, but at first glance: NO! Pull this off the airwaves.



America's Liberty PAC is responsible for the ad. If you're not familiar with ALP, read on.

I'm usually not one to bash the people working on the campaign, but this is downright embarrassing for those of us who have been sticking our neck out there defending Rand.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to acptulsa again.

 

[SilentBull]

Are these people serious??? This is what they spent money on?? This is how they think they will help Rand in the GOP primary? Making fun of candidates whose supporters we want to switch over to Rand? WTF man!

This is way worse than the Revolution PAC ad where they called Perry and Romney "pretty boys".

This is not how you change minds, fucking morons!

 

[SilentBull]

Is it really Jesse Benton that's behind this? This is unreal. This ad will do nothing but turn off voters. Already, I saw people on Facebook thinking the Rand campaign created this, and were turned off by it.

Can't disagree. It's amazing that we've got so many seasoned GOP operatives with tremendous track records, and this is the best we can churn out? Ugh....

Also don't understand why Rand has gone to such lengths to turn off GOP voters. I love the positions he's taken but he has literally ignored positions like the 2nd amendment, Obamacare, taxes, etc. and only focused on the areas of disagreement.

After seeing this ad now, I'm officially worried.
