Ron Paul Ad - Rick Santorum a Conservative?

[vechorik]

I'm 60 and I approve this message.

 

[rpwi]

Like the ad...doesn't touch on as many important issues as it could have and doesn't draw distinction between Paul and Romney/Gingrich....but...it will generate buzz (free advertising) and will very likely come up in tomorrow's Mesa debate. (notice the timing of this ad)?

 

[LibertyEagle]

meh. I prefer seeing more about why Ron is awesome.

The

ads

are

not

for

us

 

[goldpants]

Me likey style

"old people won't get this"

Apparently old people have IQ's below 80?

Seriously, do you think they're retarded?

Ron gets money > Ron runs TV ad

we need to get Ron more money.

I don't prefer the aesthetics, but you know what? Each of those points is going to stick in your mind.

I also think 'voted for No Child Left Behind' is much more evocative of disgust than 'doubled the size of the dept of ed' which sounds to the uneducated like 'give more money to our schools'. However, no one is going to forget that bloated belly.

Yeah, they're interference for Romney

 

[Canderson]

The strategy must be that if Santorum wins Michigan his momentum going into super tuesday will hurt us. Plus the campaign maybe spoke with the Romney people who agreed not to put up a fight in states like Washington and North Dakota.

I don't like the style of the ads, but everyone else seems to and that's all that matters. If they get people to listen then they're great.

On another note, I'm really glad to see it pointed out that Rick Sanatorium isn't conservative. Seems obvious, but then again, I''m from Pennsylvania. I've been exposed to him before.

I agree that the tyle could be more serious, but all the pacs will be rnning negative ads with that tone, this is an "attack ad" that really just shows his voting record in a different way. At a time when people might be getting sick of the same typo of political ads this might actually catch their attention...

I'll never vote for Obama. But then again, I will never vote for Santorum either.

 

[pahs1994]

i was flipping the channels and they showed this on MSNBC (yea i know i NEVER watch them but they said they were going to show the new RP ad) They just said stuff along the lines that he has an alliance with Romney and Michael Steel said the ad would not help him. Some crusty old lady on the show said something about Pauls ads and stated that Paul called huntsman the manchurian candidate

Yes, and he's going to need a lot more money. And, I do think that "No Child Left Behind" is a better representation of how Santorum views mandatory education than what the ad used, but it's still a good ad.

On that note, I wonder how many people will see this ad. I'm still sore that I didn't see a single Ron Paul ad in Minnesota before the caucuses, but was bombarded with Santorum's ugly face, and even his presence, seeing as he actually showed up in rural Minnesota to try and sway undecides towards him.

 

[tremendoustie]

If Rick Santorum became the nominee, I would be forced to vote for Obama and then I'd feel DIIIIIIRTY

Don't vote for either of them. Neither Obama nor any of the other Rs deserve any pro-liberty person's vote.

NCLB was a doubling of the size of the department of education ... I think it's an entirely fair characterization. We don't have to use their phony "for the childrens and the kittens and against turrists" bill names they cook up for their anti-liberty tripe.

Best Part, IMHO

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let deep pockets Mitt blow his money attacking, we need to start getting Ron's name out there and why he is RIGHT rather than just why the other's are wrong.

How many members here believe in Bigfoot?

I can't see any logical reason why it couldn't exist, there are far more amazing and complex creatures we already know of. Bigfoot would actually be rather mundane after the initial thrill wore off.

 

[SilentBull]

I like it because it should get the attention of at least of some people in the media. He should get some free mentions out of it.

lol hilarious but i have to say, these ads can only be understood by young people. I mean the whole cartoonish theme can be a bit difficult for the elderly to comprehend.

Yea I thought the same thing when I watched it. If they want to attack Santorum I think they should stick with:

I don't want to be critical of pacs, I hope they've done their due dilligence but just saying..........I prefer the betrayal so far as the older target-audience is concerned as the words are more audible while in the new one, the background sorta runs over the words........and remember, we're trying to reach out to people who voted for Bush

I also agree that "No Child Left Behind" would sound better

+1

Yes, where the hell is Ron's electability ad? Attacking others is fine but why should they vote for Paul? Why is he more capable of beating Obama? (remember, most GOP voters are "anyone but Obama") He's leading among Indies, Dems & Non-whites, the important voting-blocks in the General that could hurt Obama & wasn't there a recent poll where he beat Obama 49-42 (clearing the error-margin too )
