New Paul Radio Ad To Aim For Conservative Voters
Ron Paul will be running a new radio ad in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, appealing to conservative voters with his positions on everything except the war.
The $430,000 media buy will focus on his service as a doctor for the Air Force, his opposition to big government, and his dedication to upholding people's constitutional rights. "His record clearly shows he will cut taxes and stop runaway spending," the narrator says. "People who know him call him the taxpayer’s best friend."
Full text after the jump.
Narrator: Who is Ron Paul, Republican candidate for president. Ron Paul served his country as a flight surgeon after the Cuban missile crisis. As a young doctor, Ron Paul worked nights in the emergency room of an inner city hospital, talking care of everyone, whether they could pay or not. As an OB-GYN Ron Paul delivered over 4,000 babies.As a doctor, Ron Paul knows our healthcare system needs real change, where patients and doctors are in charge, not big corporations or government bureaucrats. As a Congressman for almost two decades, Ron Paul knows our Constitution is there to protect our freedom and limit government in our lives.
He has never voted for a tax increase or an unbalanced budget. His record clearly shows he will cut taxes and stop runaway spending. People who know him call him the taxpayer’s best friend.

Paul: I'm Ron Paul and I approved this message.
"...appealing to conservative voters with his positions on everything except the war."
I don't see this as an issue. The fact that he is as (or even more) opposed to the Iraq war as any democratic candidate is well known to anyone that's paying attention. Pundits like Hugh Hewitt, Michelle Malkin, Sean Hannity, et. al. have heaped their collective scorn on him so much for his anti-war position that it's no secret to anyone. It's his other positions that are not widely known.
I personally hope that he is able to stay in the GOP primary for a while. I don't think he has a chance of winning. However, his presence in the debates forces the other candidates to actively defend Bush's foreign policy a lot more than they would like to (in my opinion). He forces them to publically embrace Bush's policies, which will probably hurt them in the general election.

I live in The Woodlands, TX, a bastion of oil, pharmaceutical and technology money, which of course means lots of Republicans. Let me tell you what I see here - LOTS of RON PAUL for PRESIDENT bumper stickers.
My point is that many of the "W The President" groups are harder and harder to find. They love their money, but hate the current administration.
I was at an auction recently and was listening to a group of Texas lawmen talking and their consensus is with Fred Thompson and that was because he hadn't entered the race yet. Wonder what they think now???
Don't get me wrong, you still have your loyal bushies, but most realize he is very unpopular.
Funny thing is, I don't see Cheney et al just walking away in 2009. I sure hope they don't orchestrate something to put off the 08 elections.

I guess all of those Ron Paul bumper stickers are from the 2% that the unaudited polls at Rasmussen give him. Where are the Clinton bumper stickers? I dont see them.

I just saw a clip of Ron Paul on PBS. He comes off a lot better than during the "debates" where he is ignored and has to struggle to be heard.

Maybe the Clinton bumper stickers are on the Republican cars. Their second cars, in the garage.
