I have a 9 year old daughter and this made me cry..We need some more videos and we need to get more of these good ones out there..The campaign could sure use better video too..Love Ron but man the official campaign has had some really lame videos.
Man, that first girls reaction is priceless...
copy the link from youtube and paste it into your FB status.how do I get this on my facebook page?
He makes girls cry. What's next, he lets puppies die in a burning building?
It's now in the top 100 top-rated news & politics vids of the entire week!!! Keep it up, folks! It's catchin' on, I'm tellin' ya!
After posting this tear-jerker on facebook, a response I got from a friend was: "Your faithful endorsement of Dr. Ron Paul is starting to pay dividends as far as my openmindedness on the political front."
Persistence pays off!
Fwiw, I say bump the hell out of this one!!!
Okay, seems like everyone is getting teary eyed over an extremely sappy video.
Maybe I'm just a cynical old bastard, but I don't get it.
First off, the video title is clearly manipulative/misleading- Ron Paul had nothing to do with making those kids cry.
You show a bunch of kids happy that Daddy is home on leave or from a tour of duty. Okay, fine. I'm sure that is the case in any war, or even if Daddy comes home from an unaccompanied tour (that means his family isn't stationed with him) even in peace time.
Yes, kids are happy when their soldier parents return home (even in peacetime). Yes, Ron Paul is against the war.
So what's the thrust here, that we should end the wars just so little kids can see their daddy sooner?
Is that really going to change the minds of those Republicans who currently support the war? Like they are suddenly going to say "I didn't realize that soldiers were being separated from their families because of this war that I've supported for 9 years, now that I realize it, we should bring the troops home immediately!"
This reminds me of a "do it for the children" type of appeal- you know, the sappy crap that is constantly being used to manipulate people into supporting some idiotic government program or another.
Fight fire with fire I say.
Sappy?
War tears families apart. These wars are not legal nor justified at this point. End them.
