Once again...Ron Paul comes off as being childish and not very dignified in this ad.
I don't know if things like this are his idea or some strategist...but whoevers it is....they should think twice about it.
This is friendly advice...if he wants to do better in polls...he needs to start acting a bit more serious.

I'm black. black america is doing terribly under Obama. if RP does a major black vote outreach, appeals to us along economic lines, shows how the 2-party system, the same-old same-old thinking, has always #ed everyone, but black america in particular..it's possible.

I think that would help. My BF voted for Obama last time, but she says she is not voting for him again, so I guess it just depends on the person who is voting. I seem to think Ron Paul may be a good candidate myself. I have always thought that it isnt really a free election by the people if we only have 2 people that the powers that be decide we can pick from..I mean seriously what kind of a deal is that. Its like saying you have your choice of dinner as long as it is spaghetti or a cheeseburger. Why do you feel the new jobs bill wont pass? From what I have read it would just be a lot easier to give folks a check to help them economically at this point.

If you wanted him to have an easy time you would promote Ron Paul? What kind of answer is that? So you want your candidate to have a hard time winning?
If I wanted to be a shill for Obama...I would be trying to get Paul or Bachmann to get the nomination. They are both a sure win for Obama.
Romney is Obama's most difficult opponent and Perry isn't far behind.
I'm sorry for being honest instead of being a shill
Ron Paul is running a very poor campaign in your eyes? What do you call the last 2 1/2 years? You think Obama has kept to his campaign promises? Really?
Um...yes...he has kept a good percentage of them.
www.politifact.com...
Promise Kept 145
Compromise 42
Promise Broken 46
Stalled 70
In the Works 203
Not yet rated 2
He has completely kept 28% of his promises, not bad for 2 1/2 years.
If you include the compromised promises....that goes up to 37%.....not too shabby.
Take those and add in the ones that are "in the works"....you are up to 77% of promises kept, compromised or he is working on. I would say that is damn good in 2 1/2 years.
He has "broken" 9%...you aren't going to win them all.
Honestly...I am fine, more than fine, with his record.
I don't claim a party system, but I know how it all works, so I will be with whatever party it takes to slow this run away train we call government back down and In my opinion Ron Paul is the one to try.
Ron Paul can't do anything withou congress.
If he stuck to what he says he would do...he would get less done than Obama. Because not only would the Democrats not support him, most of the Republican congress wouldn't either.

So he doesn't lie all the time. That makes me feel so much better. Allow me to change my mind and throw full trust into someone who may pat me on the back or sink a blade into it.
At least Ron Paul is consistent. I did say Ron Paul can try didn't I? Anyone wanting to put a hold on the Federal Reserve will always have my vote. Anyone who perpetuates the bond with them is the shill, Obama's no different than the last presidency.

IF Ron Paul got elected...his "promises broken" would be above 50% because he couldn't get anything done.
Does that mean he is lying??? No...it means he can't get things done.
Same with Obama...but at least he IS getting the things he promised done. That was the point of your post...that Obama has broken a lot of his campaign promises...and that is simply not true.
