Direction of ads

[BillyDkid]

We need to start going after the media in our advertising a little bit and encourage more people to start thinking for themselves. There is such obvious bias in the media (and it isn't and never was "liberal" bias, like people like to pretend, it's establishment bias.) and the more we let untruth be repeated and confirmed by the media the deeper it becomes ingrained in the national consciousness. People are already suspicious of the media and we need to remind them of that. A radio ad or a newspaper ad starting something like "They have been telling you that Ron Paul can't win. They have been telling you that Ron Paul is a fringe candidate who's only support comes from conspiracy theorists. They have been trying to tell you which candidates are the candidates you should take seriously. They have been doing all they can to promote the candidates they endorse and marginalizing others. They've been trying to keep you from thinking for yourself. They have lied about Ron Paul's support and his positions, but some of us know better...." and so on, emphasizing Ron Paul's fund raising, his straw poll victories, the crowds he draws and the diversity of his support. It seems obvious that our fund raising alone has not been enough to convince them to play fair - you can not shame these people into decency, but you can expose them. We need to start doing that.

Actually, that sounds pretty good to me.

To continue with the edge Ron Paul needs to call out:

- Huckabee on immigration

- Fred on being an abortion lobbyist

- Romney for flip-flopping on abortion and raising "fees" in his state

- Rudy on gun control and abortion


If he begins to point these things out and make them widely known, then he will begin to pull supporters from those camps.
