Should Ron Paul begin to win in a serious way, he will get daisy’ed by the opposition. Daisy’ed is what Lyndon Johnson did to Barry Goldwater in 1964. The campaign needs to be prepared for it.

So, a pre-emptive answer to all this is the following….
Here is a “screenplay” for an ad. Some of you talented YouTubers should be able to do it justice. Feel free to improvise and enhance as you see fit.
“We the sheeple”.
Scene opens with these words on a Declaration of Independence looking document.
Cut (fade) to a view of sheep in a meadow. Close in to show the sheep being herded. Show the Shepard pushing and poking the herd. Show the sheep dogs nipping at the sheep who get out of line.
This scene continues for a half minute or so and is accompanied by the following voice over. (James Earl Jones is preferable)
“Sheeple are led to and fro. Sheeple are provided for as the Shepard see fit. Sheeple go where they are led without question.”
Sheeple are kept safe….pause… Most of the time”. Shot of wolf.
“Sheeple must stay with the herd. Bad things happen to Sheeple who stray”.
Shot of an a lone and seemingly lost sheep No need to show an actual bad thing, the viewer will get the idea.
“Sheeple are very dependant”.
Shot of sheep being fed.
Here is the punch lines. Accompanied by various shots of sheep in the herd.
“Sheeple prefer security over opportunity.”
“Sheeple prefer safety over freedom”
“Sheeple crave comfort over challenge.”
“Sheeple desire to be cared for.”
Another shot showing the sheep being watched over by the Shepard and the sheep dog.
“BUT, every April 15th, shot of calendar, the sheeple are shorn clean.”
Show sheep being shorn, and not particularly gently. Make PETA squirm.
Begin fade to Ron Paul banner along with the following voice over.
“Don’t be a sheeple.”
“Be a genuine American. .. pause ..Welcome opportunity,.. pause .. accept challenge. .. pause .. cherish freedom,”
This all accompanied by appropriate visuals along with Ron Paul banner.
“Protect your independence and your birthright to live your life as you choose.”
Ron Paul banner.
“Vote for Ron Paul.”

OK YouTubers, do it proud.
Also, perhaps somebody could make fun of sheeple with something like this.
