Ron Paul for Life


Although GOP candidate Ron Paul stands in 5th place on the national poll he is taking steps to improve his campaign that others aren’t. These steps are using their campaign dollars for campaign ads. His latest campaign ad is named life and begins with a narrator stating:
"Dr. Ron Paul: More than four thousand babies delivered. A man of faith committed to protecting life."
Within the ad he expresses that he was never able to comprehend the whole notion of not valuing life. Many of his followers don’t like his views on this, as they seem to most be pro-choice. His advocates also feel that this ad should have been replaced with one addressing more sufficient issues that would direct our economy or involvement in war. Some also say it is contradicting because he is one of the candidates who view someone with cancer and no insurance as and unsolvable issue. It is not to say that Ron Paul isn’t a potential candidate. In this second time coming he is definitely improving his campaign. He has 35 years in politics and recently won the Family Research Value Voters straw poll. A family Research Council Leader actually felt that Ron Paul truly isn’t a part of the social conservative community and isn’t as reflective as Herman Cain or Rick Perry.

Over the past two years Ron Paul has held prominent position and winning in straw polls. He won the straw poll at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference and wont the Political Leaders conference contest. On Thursday, October 13 Ron Paul won the Los Angeles County Straw poll. The media ignores all of Paul’s straw poll wins and focus more on those leading the nation poll suck as Herman Cain. On October 19 Ron Paul is leading a campaign titled “Black this out”. It is a witty connotation about him always being excluded in the media spotlight.



In this video we view Ron Paul making a joke about how the media loves him. It is sadly completely the opposite. The media always fails to mention his name. Recently in The New York Daily News, Cain was credited for raising 8 million. In reality Ron Paul was the one that raised this amount coming in 3rd in fundraising within the Republicans. The media failed to share this with the public and every other details of Ron Paul’s campaign. Although media outlets fail to mention his name or credit his success he has not lost sight of himself. His ads have helped his campaign and strengthened his conservativeness. People can fail to get the facts right or simply not include him in them but one thing for sure is Ron Paul is in this campaign.
