Ron Paul’s new ad: ‘The one who can beat Obama’

Texas Congressman Ron Paul’s latest television advertisement lumps his Republicans rivals together with Democrats and claims he is the only GOP presidential candidate that can defeat President Barack Obama in 2012.

The 1-minuted ad, called “The One,” will air in Iowa and New Hampshire. A campaign spokesman said the ad cost at least six figures.

“It’s the story of a lost city, lost opportunity, lost hope. A story of failed policies, failed leadership. A story of smooth talking politicians, games of ‘he said, she said,’ rhetoric and division,” the ad says, while transposing images of Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann with Congressional Democrats and Obama.

  1. Well, will see which Presidential candidate gets wisked away for that secret meeting with the burgers. Would it be Rick Perry? Probably . I’m just concerned for Ron Paul’s safety. The more momentum he gains, the more dangerous it becomes. Run off the road, airplane crash, a sudden heart attack. But I know Ron Paul is determined more that ever, he’s at the poker table and he’s all in!!! GO RON GO!!

  2. I was at my folk’s house last night, and I asked the old folks their opinion about R.P. being ignored by the msm. I almost crapped my pants! Moms is totally against ANY republican being elected, and thinks R.P. is a nut with no credibility. Dad told me straight out, he hopes obombya gets RE-ELECTED!
    This crazy system has my parents TOTALLY BRAINWASHED!! I am a bit discouraged, but not surprised, I keep my status as the “black sheep” of the family for my political views.

  3. another ‘yes we can’ motto. talk about beating a dead horse. and yet everyone falls for it every time.

  4. Here is the entire Ron Paul campaign strategy . . . .

    VOTE FOR THE ONE CANDIDATE BOTH THE MEDIA AND WASHINGTON FEAR AND TRY TO MARGINALIZE THE MOST.

  5. Ron Paul would destroy Obama in a serious debate (not one of these phony FOX news debates). Ron Paul has experience, and a depth of knowledge that Obama can’t even begin to touch, not to mention a solid record to back up his words.

    All Obama has to run on is his charisma. He has completely tarnished his record since he took office. If Obama is re-elected, that means that either the election is completely rigged from the top down (which wouldn’t surprise me in the least), or the American people en masse are more gullible than a relatively intelligent person could even fathom.

    Of course, the neo-cons will do everything in their power to stop Ron Paul from even getting the GOP nomination. I would encourage those that pray to pray that God would anoint this man with direction and protection.

  6. The New Hampshire primary is in January. New Hampshire — the Live Free or Die state — is a place where Ron Paul can genuinely win the straw poll by a landslide. He opened his campaign office there today.

    The next five months are a HIGHLY CRITICAL JUNCTURE. We must storm America with Ron Paul support it and sustain it until January’s NH primary.

    • More specifically, go to all the New Hampshire newspaper and television news websites, and over the next 5 months FLOOD their comment sections with Ron Paul support. Type “New Hampshire Media” into Google and get the list of New Hampshire news organizations. Then every single day from now until January, post comments there.

    • At the New Hampshire toll booth ask why isnt your state motto on you “TOLL RECEIPT”

  7. Heck, even I could beat Obama — IF it were a fair fight. But it’s not. RP won the Iowa caucus, but for the “missing” 218 votes. How ya gonna win that way? placeofrefuge2012.com

    • If RP did “win” (I know he won) that Iowa Straw Poll the media would of ignored that the poll ever happened. The fact that he came in seconded by 0.09% and was completely ignored by the media blew up in MSM faces! Everything worked out in RP’s favor this weekend.

  8. From the UK.. Good luck to Ron Paul. If I was an American citizen then that where my vote would be going!

    My only fear is that if he did get the president position, then I would say that there would be another JFK situation!

    This guys is agaist the Banking system. And the banks wouldn’t like that!! All the things the NWO and the banking system have/are trying to put in place would go out the window if Ron Paul get’s in! (Which is good) but they wouldn’t like that one bit.

    That’s why the system would be fixed to not let him get that far!

    I do feel sorry because the “banking” “NWO” bastards will purposely keep him out.

    Give this man the landslide victory that he has deserved and have deserved for so long now.

    • Hello fellow Brit. Yes there is always that chance, but that shouldn’t get in the way. Ron Paul is full of courage and tougher than he looks, so that won’t scare him.

    • I am in Canada and I like Ron Paul very much also. Sadly, I fear for him..like you said another
      JFK Situation..or worse yet. THEY make him an offer he cant refuse!

      He does not appear to be the kind of person to sell his soul to the devil.

      BUT NO ONE IS ABOVE TEMPTATION!

  9. New World Order is not THE Enemy. It is those that don’t want to become free and support the tyrannical system. The moment they have been beaten by the system and had enough they will look elsewhere and that is when we will get true freedom.

    Freedom is not given, it is taken, either by the tyrants or us the people.

    Great add!

    Best wishes from EUSSR.

  10. WE ALL BETTER PRAY FOR HIM,HE IS UP AGAINST A MONSTER WITH MOST OF THE MONEY,and we dont want Ron to be Taken out like Kennedy,and when that happened.There wasnt as much money on the Table,soooo Ron if you need voluntary body gaurds I AM WILLING.

    • Yes, and this goes for Alex Jones too — we can’t lose him.

      • Pray for them everyday

  11. brillant!
    now watch the others copy this and do the same kind of ad.

  12. still worried about the other phony baloney Texas cowboy..
    is Perry scared of horses too?
    y’all better get used to President George W. Perry/Rick W. Bush
    according to Mr. AJ

  13. InfoWars servers are super s-l-o-w. Takes forever to get to an article from the main page link and to log in. I ve had this problem for days and on different computers and servers in unrelated locations.

    So, “The One Who Can Beat Obama” is Ron Paul’s new ad slogan. Yes, he can. But didn’t Obama have a campaign slogan “Yes We Can”? If someone can do something that’s fine. But if someone says he “will” do something that is even better and more encouraging.

    Got 8 new Ron Paul bumper stickers. They are all Free. You can get the full size image but you must print them yourself, which is relatively easy, I would think. Most people have a printer if they have a computer.

    • Very cool, thanks.

    • Thank you.

    • i does like WILL beat Obama ..
      has a reeeel nice Texas twang to it
      and if texas Ron don’t,
      we slaves are in a flippin worlda hurt..

      maybe Ron outta go with the ruff and tuff Texas cowboy image too..

  14. love it .RON PAUL your the man you know. that and we all know that. you will save this country
    from these slimebags. cause you speak the truth.

  15. Nice beginning, the end looked a little too “Hollywood” but it will work for attracting young
    independents and former disenchanted liberals.

    • You’re right. After Obama’s proven to be another war pig like Bush was, the Cindy Sheehan types (anti-war liberals) are potential Ron Paul supporters. Jon Stewart’s defense of Ron Paul this week marks an important shift as some liberals are beginning to give Ron Paul their first tentative glances.

      Gays should also logically support Ron Paul, since he is the only candidate calling for thhe federal government to get out of people’s marriages.

      There are nooks and crannies within the American spectrum of ideologies which we must mine — because Ron Paul can unite people across ideological lines like no other candidate in history.

      Reach out to the liberal peaceniks and gays — their own will never do it, it’s up to us.

  16. This is a great AD. Ron Paul is a lone Wolf roaming in the vast wilderness of the enemies of truth. He reminds me of the Apostle Paul. He too, stood out among his contemporaries on both sides of the religious spectrum.
    Therefor, I decree and henceforth, shall call him ……. The Apostle Ron Paul

  17. He has got to be one of the smartest people around. His devoted YOUNG following is really getting these ads right they are the best I’ve ever seen in any campaign.

    ROCK ON RON PAUL. WE LOVE YOU !!!

  18. Don’t be under the illusion that the GOP is going to nominate Ron Paul — it’ll never happen, I think we all know that. Instead, despite what his campaign manager strategically said earlier this week, Paul will run as an independent after the GOP rejects him (why wouldn’t he? Is Perry better than Obama? Hell no). Therefore, we have to think in terms of electing him as an independent candidate, at which point his VP choice will be critical. They aren’t going to make this easy for us folks — this is the fight of our lifetimes, and it’s the last chance saloon for America. It’s going to require massive mobilization of his supporters, something like has never been seen before, and that means, if you have never been involved in a political campaign before (funding, volunteering, etc.) now is the time. This means bringing people into our camp — whoever it is. It means we can’t keep preaching to the choir, we gotta bring new blood aboard continually.

    • You are absolutely right.

    • Very well spoken and right on target.

    • best ways to advertise??? Put signs all over your car… don’t need to buy stickers, use paper, hell people always read it cause they think its a for sale sign!!! Idea for sign?… For Sale… Ron Paul for president…. cause you own your country!!!!! Cost 1 vote!!!! For freedom, hope, and American Independence….. Its now or never!!!….LOL I don’t know but try anything, you can always change it tomorrow!!! Good excuse to take the kids for a ride too!!!!!

      • Good call michlam.

        Also, go to the comment sections of every mainstream news media websites and flood them with Ron Paul support. Absolutely deluge them and don’t let up. We need a sustained and overwhelming presence. We want Americans to see Ron Paul supporters everywhere they look.

        • And don’t forget the liberals.

          Along with undecided conservatives we are trying to win over, we can win over some liberals (the ones whose main cause is ending war, and keeping government out of people’s marriages, and freedom of choice in other areas, etc.)

          Ron Paul is THE peace candidate. And as such, his message resonates beyond partisan lines — so cast a wide net.

    • I work in my family’s very busy salon and in this business,we are taught not to talk about race,religion,or politics.But guess what guys?I said the hell with that.So for the past 2 years every single client that sits in my chair(I have about 200+)I educate them on Ron Paul.I know I might’ve offended some folks and lost some clients.But like Ugly-American said,we now have to get out of our comfort zone and step into the realm of courage and take action.We are at a crossroads in this era of this country,and I never underestimate the power of each and every single one of us to make a difference for a brighter future. Look,if you don’t do anything,you’re not making it any better.Screw it!!!Roll the dice and take action cause we have ALOT to lose!

      • That’s it cukicuki. Keep it up!

    • Excellent points that come as no surprise to anyone Awake. Ron Paul will have to run as an Independent because Ron Paul represents Independence. A strong Independent Party representing Freedom and Justice will rise triumphant in our Republic. We will have the choice we should have had all along. The so-called elite are running scared. They know they cannot win. Their time is almost up.

      • Right on.

  19. Damn! Now that’s a GREAT advertisement. All true, too.

  20. Great ad!!!

  21. Don’t like it.

    • I like it.

  22. Nice rhetoric, Ron … NOW TELL THE PHUGGEN TRUTH ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What truth????? That there is no trust fund; that Congress can lower benefits, raise retirement age, require anyone who wants benefits to submit to a weekly drug test, or do away with benefits completely; that FICA, which you think pays for socialistic insecurity, goes into the general treasury of the US … some to shoot babies in Iraq, some for other worthy projects like studying batshit on cavewalls; that participation in socialistic insecurity via use of a socialist slavestate number is how most people here in the US incur liability not only for FICA but also federal income tax; that liability for federal income tax, once incurred, incurs liability for state and local income taxes; that participation in socialistic insecurity via SSN use will be how liability for Obamacare is incurred; that participation is how Medicare liability is incurred; that participation makes you a subject to government and not a sovereign over it; that participation in the program/SSN use is, according to the slave enumeration bureau at ssa dot gov (write them and ask, they will admit in writing, snail mail or email) 100% VOLUNTARY and NOT REQUIRED to live OR WORK in the United States; that it is the private sector, with policies based upon ignorance and fear and/or a few deliberate bad actors that force virtually everybody into SSN use IN SPITE OF NO LAW REQUIRING THE USE OF THOSE INFERNAL NINE DIDGITS; that inspite of no law, the proliferation of that number has made it virtually impossible to get a job, open a bank account, open a brokerage account, get phone service, get wireless phone service, get cable TV, get sattelite TV, get an auto policy, get a health policy, get life insurance, get electricity, get water, get gas, or even get a visit with a doctor … and that the government, which started that program, will not lift a finger to help anyone who simply doesn’t want to participate or use that number everywhere he or she goes.

    The remedy, Ron, which I put in your hand IN WRITING that you promised you would read, is a law that would 1) provide for one time official opt out/denumeration for those who want out of the system and 2) more importantly, a plain language full disclosure requirement anytime anyone anywhere for any reason asks for an SSN … said disclosure to disclose all rights waived, powers of attorney granted, changes in status, and all liabilities incurred, including tax liabilities.

    Ron, I hold you, as I hold all of those in Washington who hold office or aspire to it, to this standard: you are either aware of the issues I raised above or you are not. If you NOT aware and either hold office or aspire to office, then your ignorance is so great it is tantamount to criminality. If you ARE aware, then you are going along to get along with the largest financial fraud in the history of mankind (the deliberate mal application of federal income tax, done by using the corporate sector to force people into socialistic insecurity, thereby forcing them indirectly into the income tax where there should be no liability … also turning the average worker into a federal employee, subject to executive orders … and no challenge to the govt. passes muster because the dirty work is done by the private sector) … which is criminal. Am I to believe you are ignorant? Your brother, in an Alex Jones documentary, discussed the link between socialistic insecurity and the income tax. Am I to assume that you don’t know what he knows when you are holding office??????????????

    Ron, the way to balance the budget is simple … starve the beast!!!!!!!!!! The more you feed it, the greater its appetite. The best way to starve the beast is to TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY. Furthermore, you will have the pleasure of watching your opponents as well as the main stream media commentators soil their pants as you inform the public that SOCIAL SECURITY IS VOLUNTARY BY LAW ON PRIMETIME TV. So do the right thing, overturn the socialist applecart, tell the truth about socialistic insecurity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • as far as i know he is against it, and will take steps to repeal it.

      • dont count on that.

        Pete

    • For sure social security is an important issue, I receive social security payments now and have for the last 5 years. But this year because I turned 65, my social security is automatically CUT to pay for what I am told is my medicare share. Cut from this entitlement (i.e., something we paid for, generally speaking as that is the way it was designed, we had no choice but to do that contribution as it was deducted automatically from our wages, for most of us) and then find that the world’s best medical care system (now that’s a cock itself) wants $$ back for coverage, it’s either that or the individual pays up the ying yang for out of pocket expenses in this not even close perfect world of how medical works. I can barely afford this deduction or the lingering expenses but it matters not to the system. It’s broke and getting pulverized by those we have somehow allowed to exercise control over us. And then YOU come along and question RON PAUL and his intentions to fix our country? Nobody else seems honest in trying to do so. Certainly not Mr. Obama (or whatever his real name is).

      • Woops! Maybe I should invest some of that hard earned social security into a personal education fund as I obviously need a math course — I haven’t been receiving ‘my’ social security for the last 5 years, the last 3 years as I began it at age 62. Doesn’t change the point I was trying to make however. Boils down to the government is gonna do what the government wants.

      • Jerry,

        You miss my point. First off … all you paid into socialistic insecurity went into the general treasury of the US, AND NOT ANY ACCOUNT YOU WERE LEAD TO BELIEVE YOU HAD. What you are receiving now is, LEGALLY SPEAKING, just another form of welfare, that Congress can raise, lower, shut off, or require piss tests to receive. THERE NEVER WAS A TRUST FUND WHATSOEVER … otherwise, the program would have never past muster with the Supreme Court. Current recipients are paid from taxes collected TODAY. And since the program is voluntary BY LAW, the people you worked for and NOT the govt. are the ones who forced you into that. Furthermore, your “voluntary participation” made you a federal employee for tax purposes, and so you got stuck with federal, state, and local income taxes. Workers in a few years who participate get stuck for Obamacare.

        Ron Paul is most certainly aware of what I am talking about and says nothing on this subject. What little he HAS said backs up the official lie … he said “maybe we should make social security voluntary for younger people” implying that it was somehow required by some law, WHICH IT IS NOT.

        All I ask of Ron Paul or any other candidate I might vote for is to TELL THE TRUTH about social security and come out in favor of a law that would 1) allow for a one time official opt out/denumeration for those of us who want nothing to do with that number or program and 2) push for a law requiring plain language full disclosure anytime an SSN is asked for, said disclosure to disclose all rights waived, powers of atty granted, changes in status, and all liabilities incurred, including any and all tax liabilities.

        Pete

        • Fair enough!

  23. As a scientist I do not rely on polls to tell me which way ‘the wind blows’ without reading the actul questions of the poll and WHO the poll surveyed. Moreover I insist on confirming any such findings of a poll with personally collected empirical data. To this end I have talked with several friends who would self describe as modern day liberals and asked them what they think of the current candidates running for the whitehouse next year. Though a few still cling to their yes we can and hope and change lies spewed forth by ‘brand obama’ most have come to realize that Obama is most likely a one term president. Ron Paul is the only candidate my friends have said they would vote against their party (D) for. From a party that is known for voting straight ticket “D” that is a huge statement. That particular statement came from someone who lives in the same district as and voted for Nancy the purse pelosi.

    Before you get your knickers in a knot-I am a classic liberty loving liberal-aka a libertarian but refuse to talk only to other libertarians. I encourage each and every person reading this to get outside your comfort zone and talk withyour friends who have differing political views and use Ron Paul as ‘coffee’ to wake them up!

    • Ask your friends the same question WHEN they nominate Hillary Clinton to take the place
      of Obama cause thats who the Republicans are going to be facing.

    • I’m not surprised Michael. The libertarian message, is essentially socially liberal but fiscally conservative. Most people act libertarian in public. They don’t criticize people’s lifestyles and they don’t spend a bunch of money just to spend it for the sake of those receiving it.

      Liberals and libertarians have a lot in common on civil liberty. Conservatives and libertarians have a lot in common, on personal responsibility and fiscal prudence. The only place liberals and conservatives can dialogue about is fiscal prudence, personal responsibility, and liberties. This is why libertarians are a good fit for those with open minds on both side of the aisle.

  25. Ron Paul is the only chance we have to restore freedom.

    A coup d’etat started in 2008 with the presidential election.

    Obama is the acting president. He disappeared for 2 weeks after his election win only to reappear looking exhausted sitting next to John McCain, with a bad poker face, for a press photo shoot. Obama was turned into a puppet for the Pentagon.

    Osama Bin Laden appears to be a code created by the New World Order. The NWO consists of some of the richest people in the world with the goal of overthrowing the US government, some from inside our own government. They are also trying to collapse our currency and appear to be behind all of the “buy gold” hype, not to mention tens of thousands of money making opportunities online and late night infomercials. They’re positioned to make billions by destroying our economy.

    The attacks on 9/11 appear to be attacks on capitalism and part of the plan to an all out overthrow of our system of government. The people that make up the New World Order are media moguls, CEO’s and many others elitists. The coup d’etat is also the reason why the CEOs who ran in the last midterm didn’t get elected and why the republicans are taking over.

    You will not read about this in the media. Most of the media now has been forced to cooperate or have been paid to cooperate.

    Here’s what Osama, Obama, Biden, Bin Laden, the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists, and Sarah Palin had to do with the last election and the military’s overthrow of our government. Search ElectNoMoreSpys.blogspot and don’t hesitate to share it.

  26. Ron Paul is major league …

  27. Somebody watched the Matrix one too many times.

    • Take the red pill dude,the truth shall set you free

  28. That was awesome. Sounds likea freakin movie. How can anyone not be behind this guy? he is so the money
