Also, 'nominate' shouldn't be used twice in two sentences, imho. I disagree. "According to the polls" provides a foundation for and strengthens the claim. As for the parallel sentence structure of "Help us nominate", that makes emphatic that RP and the "only candidate who can defeat her, according to the polls" are, indeed, one and the same. So, I don't mind it. I also think the Freedom4um part stood out more when it was the only unbolded text. Maybe bolding Freedom4um.com only would be better (if you want it bolded). Finally, there is a capital "C" in the second "Freedom4um.Com".
Check out my blog, America, the Bushieful.
Please ping me when the shooting begins :)
We're dealing in black and white newsprint, right? I was operating under that assumption. I think color costs more. I could asterisk the claim, and put "*according to polls blah blah blah" at the bottom somewhere.
I think you're right. I was just tinkering, will go back to old way.
BANG
Critter I believe was in color. May I say you have done very well with this.
A new version: Great job!
more color
There are now two sample version I have whipped up: and We can use either, or parts of either, colorize the first, etc. We need a "decider". I know, GWB is the decider, but... Seriously though, we need someone to officially approve a copy, because everyone has an opinion, we could be here for a year trying to accommodate them all.
Are you shooting at bucks from your front porch again?
BTTT
I LOVE IT !

Not bad at all, and I'll pony up. But why does it have to start off like every other Republican ad? I get phone calls all the time from groups and candidates asking "Do you want Hillary to be president?" Of course the answer is no, but I always tell them that I think it's more important decide what you are for, and that any money I have is going to Paul, not them. I do understand it has to be acceptable to the paper, too. But I'm wondering how effective that opening really is anymore with the Republican base. Paul is not just another Republican, and for me the headline detracts from that.
Maybe delete 'according to the polls'? (not really necessary?)

One thing I heard this morning on the news, is that 60% of NH folks are 'undecided'. This ad is GUTSY. It puts the most important things in black and white. And, RP can back it up. NONE of the others speak for Americans first.
Paul is not just another Republican, and for me the headline detracts from that.

My 2 cents: Illegal immigration; disarming citizens; warrantless searches; income taxes; fruitless, endless war. (Have a little pic symbolizing each, kinda collage-like.) Is there a Doctor in the White House? No. But there could be.

But are you a part of the Republican base? I think the Republican base is scared to death of Hillary. People like us who already know and believe in Ron Paul don't need to be sold. We have to sell it to the base. Since not many of us are part of the Republican "base", our opinion really doesn't matter, does it? What we have to do is figure out how to turn the opinion of those who do matter. I guess what I am saying is that we have to figure out the best way to reach the people who don't already believe in Ron Paul.

Mrs Clause is sending a check, this despite my vow to avoid the political system at all costs. I've been there for Wallace, Perot, Buchanan and I finally get it :)

Agreed.

Veeerrrrry clever. 'I said "Doctor is there something I can take, I said Doctor to relieve this globalache". Is there a Doctor in the White House?

Hey Santa,

Totally agree...one of the detractions for many sound bite Americans.

RP is beyond the two party fraud. Why give it support. Wonderful work, by the way.

The more input Christine receives, the more choices to ensure she is coming up with the best. If olde Jethro is going to pry loose some loot, guess I will have too also.

Bless you Santa & Mrs. too. I'll leave out some extra cookies on Christmas Eve! ;)

Maybe the RNC knows that it works, so that is why they use it? I have to assume that they spent about half a billion dollars studying what works. lol And we are competing against them for the same potential voter. It's like when I was trying to decide on a design for my window stickers and yard signs for my alarm business. I looked at the design of the nation's largest company, ADT, and said to myself, "Well if they can go with one color, blue, on a white background, why should I do anything fancier?" I should think they studied the issue long and hard before they settled for their design.
But why does it have to start off like every other Republican ad?
#419. To: angle (#415)
Anyone who knows that is already voting for RP. We need to move the unlearned masses.

#420. To: christine (#380)
Isn't it the dems that are the swing vote?
RP is the only republican who can beat hillary. i think that will resonate with GOP voters because that is their biggest fear.
#421. To: Critter (#419) (Edited)
yes, RP does that to people, doesn't he?
to move the unlearned masses
#422. To: christine, critter (#380)
I don't think that's RP's message and I caution against that tactic.
scare, fear
#423. To: Cynicom (#416)
Bless you too Cyni. It's getting time to get serious. Freedom here is on borrowed time. This time next year, we may never again have the chance to have our voices heard by such a candidate. We probably won't have RP making another run in 4 or 8 years. We may not even have elections. Freedom comes with a price. 4um charges nothing for us to post here, and has never asked for a dime. I think it's time, those able, chip in and stand up. A vote for RP is a vote for yourself. It's an investment. It's not like throwing money down the toilet at TOS'S of old. For NOTHING. This is for something bigger than us all.
If olde Jethro is going to pry loose some loot, guess I will have too also.

My two bits... Ron Pauls platform is.."The Constitution"... I admit I stole that from somewhere. If he stands on the Constitution, how can anyone argue with that?

What a great parody that would make. Hammerdown, we need a soundtrack. hehehe
