Ron Paul Superbowl Ad

Okay... I had this idea ages ago, but nixed it for two reasons: One, I checked the dates and thought that by this time campaigning would be over for us (one way or the other)and two, I didn't think the Ron Paul campaign would be able to afford it. Welp, I was wrong on both counts. This election is FAR from over at this point - I know some are moaning about Iowa, but seriously, our Iowan brethren did damn good... that state should have rejected us outright for no other reason than they are recipients of federal largesse in untold quantities. A 10% showing in Iowa in my book is a serious win. As far as being able to afford it... well, two moneybombs breaking all records pretty much puts that argument to rest...

Anyhow, as far as I can tell, the Superbowl is on Feb 3 and Super (Duper) Tuesday is on Feb 5th. This seems almost too fortuitous. Not only will an ad stay in the public's mind from Super Sunday to Super Tuesday, a CLEVER ad will be talked about on ALL of the major news stations and talk shows and will likely be re-shown on the monday in betweeen, right before voting commences for primaries in more states than ever before in American history. What could be better?

So, whatcha all think? I can do nothing with this, I will be lucky if this actually posts with my crazy connection. I havn't even had the time to connect with my local meetup group since crossing the country (I assume it's Medford - hi!). Besides, I hate football, I'm a hockey guy. I think though, someone should pick this ball up and run with it, before another campaign does. Use the comments here to coordinate and get it off the ground.

That's it, gotta post whole the net lasts for me...

Few quick thoughts...

It has to be funny, catchy, good... so shouln't come from the campaign itself. ;)

Perhaps the Ron Paul Blimp and Ron Paul Air Corps could do flyby as well at the game (someone put links in comments please!).

Perhaps there's a Reagan - win one for the gipper theme here?

Feb 3rd is the anniversary of Delaware ratifying the Articles of Confederation, the Fifteenth Amendment (voters rights) and the Sixteenth Amendment (income tax) - I'm sure something can be done with one, some or all of those...

Hope for America

Ron Paul poised to bypass Hillary in largest straw poll

Yep. They've been running neck and neck for a while now at 10%. You can see the poll in the left column of this blog. Hillary has been riding the down spiral of her "funny" little sopranos video, while Paul has been on a massive upsurge of repeated good news as he places higher and higher in every poll he is included in as well as the snowballing effect of his message of freedom and liberty gathering followers wherever it touches. At the time of this writing, the newsvine/facebook poll has over 100,000 voters and the sheer numbers plus the efforts of newsvine makes it more accurate than most of the other fly-by-night polls of this sort. One thing these polls show is that the mainstream media 'pundits' are way off base. For instance, they are predicting Obama very distant to Hillary. This of course is a joke. Obama is far ahead of Hillary right now. Not that I like him, I think it would be charitable to call the man an empty suit, but the fact is he is FAR ahead of Hillary Clinton and only her massively powerful campaign spin machine with a complicit media is hiding that fact. On that note, I'm not a big fan of facebook (cia owned) or newsvine either. I suppose newsvine is alright and I can appreciate the idea behind it, but I prefer the anarchy of digg myself. Anyway, the point is that this poll is fairly accurate for a certain segment of the voting population. Mostly the younger population. Here's something they don't factor in to the polls: People under 21 are registering and going to be voting in nearly TWICE the number that they have in the previous elections. These are people that are NOT on the lists that pollsters use and are an unmeasureable x-factor in the upcoming elections that the mainstream media doesn't want to acknowledge and think they can marginalize by ignoring. Surprise. This will be the voting bloc that decides the election people. Hillary, most hated woman in America is OUT. Likewise the anti-freedom asshat Giuliani. This race is going to be decided on the internet, all unbeknownst to the so called pundits and it's going to be between Barak Obama and Ron Paul... at least that's the way it should turn out, but of course they could in theory cancel eachother out.

Anyhow... vote in the newsvine poll in the left column here and register your opinion. It really does matter.

As soon as Paul crushes Hillary in this poll, he'll be right on the heels of Gouliani and from there it's just a sprint to Obama who will undoubtedly falter between now and election time. VOTE! And as the saying goes "vote often". Don't let the media tell you 'who can win', decide for yourself.

On a side note... since I have multiple site statistic utilities installed here, I can verify that there is absolutely no gaming of the system going on and I have the logs to prove it.

Picture of the day: Sheehan vs. Pelosi

"Cat Fight with Light Sabers!"

The Washington Post is reporting that famed Peace Activist Mom Cindy Sheehan is considering a challenge to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her San Francisco congressional seat in 2008 unless the Speaker puts impeachment back on the table by July 23rd.

I for one applaud Sheehan for such a crazy and bold move. Mainstream pundits and of course the democratic leadership are dismissive of such a challenge, however all that shows is just how out of touch these masters of spin have become. There are a great many factors which come into play here and the vast majority of them favor Sheehan over Pelosi.

Sure, Cindy Sheehan is a bit nutty, but honestly that's practically a requirement to become a member of congress these days, and one thing she does have that most do not is good intentions. Nancy Pelosi on the other hand represents everything that is wrong with our political system. Pelosi is the Old Guard, filthy in PAC contributions, special interest money and basically a cornerstone of the whole corrupt 'money for favors' politicking which the vast majority of Americans have come to despise. A powerhouse in the shadowy world of fund raising, Mrs. Speaker has also slapped the American People in the face with policy issues since taking office. Nancy Pelosi is the face of congress, a congress that is at an all time low in approval ratings (Only Cheney and Bin Laden are lower!). This is not by accident. With a clear mandate from the people in 2006 to end the Iraq War and restore Civil Liberties, Nancy's congress has done neither. In fact, she has done nothing but political grand standing since taking office. Absolutely zero of the 'people's business'. A track record of broken promises, hollow gestures and scorning the will of the people isn't much to run on. How's that swamp draining coming along? From here it looks like the democrats stepped up to the trough vacated by their republican counterparts and gorged themselves on pork. Paying back favors for campaign assistance. How long do they think the American People will stand for this? What right did Nancy have to take impeachment 'off the table' in the first place? It's not her place to decide. If impeachable offenses have been committed, then it's her duty to follow up on them. Perhaps she forgot who she works for: The American People. Well, you can bet the American People won't forget. Not this time. Voters identifying themselves as independents now outnumber those of either party and the reason is obvious - they are sick of both parties and the whole corrupt system.

The 2008 elections will share their central issue with the 2006 elections: The War. People are sick and tired of this ill conceived, mismanaged travesty of a war. The Bush Escalation has increased the body count significantly and it's still on the rise. The democrats have abandoned their mandate and are playing games with the lives of our soldiers in the balance for political gain. Blame for every life lost since the 2006 elections is now shared by the democrats and mostly the democratic leadership. By election time, anti-war sentiment will likely be over 85%, this would be a very bad time to lock horns with a peace activist, even one as odd as Cindy Sheehan, especially in what is in essence America's hotbed of activism. Ron Paul's meteoric rise to the first tier on a shoestring budget has shown that the internet is fast nullifying old school big money candidates and their ability to buy elections, even those like Mrs. Speaker with ties to the Bohemian Grove candidate selection farm. Nancy Pelosi would do well to pay heed to both Cindy Sheehan and the American People if she plans on keeping her job for another term.

Vote in this 2008 Presidential Straw Poll

It's over there to the left. This poll seems to be a bit more reliable than most I've seen, perhaps because of the high numbers of voters. In any case, it's miles more accurate than the biased poll put out by those jackasses at pajamas media.

Edit: This humble blog is now the 7th most voted at precinct. Give us a boost and see if we can beat the big guys!

Edit: Ron Paul friendly sites might consider clicking the 'put this on your own site' to open up more precincts. It only takes about a minute to set up. As you can see, Ron Paul is about to pass SHrillary and begin closing on Rudy. Total votes is over 94,000.
