CNN/YouTube Debate - Create a Ron Paul Ad!

[420greg]

Dr. Paul curred my apathy.

[yod87]

He curred my apathie tooe.

[exavior75]

PBS TONIGHT ON NOW!, THE RON PAUL PHENOMENON COVERING US! THE SWARMS!

PBS AND GOOGLE HAVE RALLIED BEHIND US AGAINST "The Five" (Most powerful interest groups who've been choosing our president for the last generation).

THEN, ON SUNDAY, WE HIT WITH ANOTHER MONEY BOMB!

THEN, THAT SAME DAY, NEVADAN FOOTSOLDIERS FOR RON PAUL HIT THE STREETS, 1000 STRONG!

HIS VOICE WILL BE HEARD!

IOWANS, NEW HAMPSHIRIANS, GIVE US FIRST STRIKE DAMNIT, WE'LL BACK YOU UP!!

[XR500Final]

Vote for the HildaBeast! Vote for $8 / Gallon gasoline after her biggest campaign contributors (the Defence Contractors) look for their payback (a war with Iran...)

[mjcrew9]

come on john mcaine, you war monger

[Benaiahh]

I'm glad that they picked the ad that they did. It was cool.

[RighteouslyWicked]

I liked it too. But it showed Ron Paul shaking his head. I hope he liked it.

[rdcypher]

He mentioned how pleased he was with the ad in the post interview. Some have speculated that he was shaking his head because they failed to mention it was created by a supporter. But that's just speculation.

[nastylefthook]

our zionist controlled media does not want ron paul,,and will do everything to derail his campaign,,we the people have to get mad as hell and not take it,,,work harder,longer and then even more harder and more longer,,go ron paul,,god bless you

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

All reviewed ads are now available on the main channel page. Check them out!

[fatesmessenger]

"All reviewed ads are now available on the main channel page. Check them out!"

OK...still can't find on the page which ad was selected.

Thank you

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Sorry can't put direct links in here ... look under the video section and choose to sort by 'most viewed'. You'll see it then. Or add this to the end of a URL: watch ? v = wPjTAH8Y_L8 (remove the spaces)

[putteringpluie]

I hope we don't have the "yeehaaaw" moment of howard dean's campaign in this campaign. Ask Ron to not be so forceful in the debates

[blondieb23]

has anybody posted the CHOSEN Ron Paul commercial yet??! I prerecorded the debate and it didn't record the whole thing :(

[johnny55a]

CNN=FOX

[Braves300]

I have actually seen CNN commercials on FOX. I went insane for a minute.

[bottleslingguy]

Romney started yacking about going back to the Constitution. You think it's due to the "lawyers" flap last time? They are still talking about Huckabee. They just said Dr Pauls comment of having 5K attendants at one of his rallys was wrong and the number was more like 2500 and now they go to commercial. Holy Cow! Thank God they are now showing a Paul approved commercial. WHEW!

[Danbojangles]

Ron was snubbed. Sad...predictable.

[jayrod59]

You are right. It is scary. I heard Ron Paul positions from other candidates tonight who got the glory for stating Paul's ideals. It was pretty sad.

[bottleslingguy]

sorry, the first one didn't post right away and I pannicked thinking YT was censoring posts. Am I paranoid, maybe its because they are still talking about Romney and Giuliani! This is nuts!!!

[bottleslingguy]

I just heard Bill Bennett and Campbell Brown brush Dr Paul aside by saying McCain won the exchange over the difference between Isolationism and Non-Intervention. He was called the odd man out and his policy on Iraq was equated to that of the Democrats. CNN reporter speaking in front of Huckabee supporter signs. Very scary. I wonder if YouTube's credibility will suffer for aligning itself with this CNN bias? Right now CNN is highlighting Huckabee's position on eliminating the IRS!!!

[usernametaken73]

yeah, I just heard that too on CNN....now Huckabee will eliminate the IRS....now it sounds like a good idea! And they called RP a "kook" for the same thing, when he has been saying it his whole campaigne. I dont know how much longer I can handle the political circus of this country.

[jayrod59]

Anderson really screwed Ron Paul on questions. He purposely avoided him. What a terrible moderator.

[TheSvenO]

he works for the cnn. of course he is bought and payed for

[bottleslingguy]

I noticed that too, not to mention the CNN reporter positioned in front of Huckabee supporters. It's all so transparent and scary. I just heard Cambell Brown say McCain won the exchange with Dr. Paul over the difference between Isolationism and a Non-Interventionist policy. Bill Bennett just called him the odd man out in Iraq after equating his position with the Democrats. (which is untrue anyway)

[usernametaken73]

So did you all enjoy the Huckabee, Giuliani, Romney show? they dont even give Paul enough questions for people to know what he is about...but they make time for hem-hawin about Yankee baseball...joke.

[nickg773]

support Ron Paul:

moneybomb on Nov. 30th:

moneybomb on Dec. 16th:

Spread the message!

[beingisbecoming4]

I'm watching the debates on CNN right now. Notice that when a direct question is posed to Giuliani or Romney they don't have a time restraint, but when a youtube question was directly posed to Ron Paul, Anderson Cooper gave him a 90 second time restraint. And, Ron Paul gave a pretty good answer considering how complicated it was.

[cosutton]

Yeah, it's pissing me off. That was a cheap shot my McClain too. The big topic seems to be immigration, yet they try to make Ran Paul look like a cook by giving him the conspiracy question about North American Union. If you're concerned about immigration how can you not be concerned about NAU?

[beingisbecoming4]

CNN is making sure that it doesn't give Ron Paul too much time, because if they did he would make too much sense. CNN obviously favors Romney, Giuliani, and Huckabee. What a shameful news network! What a disgrace!

[GIPIMP26]

I hope Dr. Paul does good tonight in the CNN debate and everyone votes in the cnncom poll that he won the debate.

[helmetsuck]

Ad: Paul this canidate within 30 days in office close our borders by executive order. heavy fine business owners that knowingly hire illegals. deport all illegals with a heavy fine. I promise to protect our country from terror,immediately deal with domestic issue and keep you informed. demand from congress what voters voted them into office to do and if they fail, then don't re-elect them.

I am Ron Paul, i ask for your vote and lets get gov't back to work for you harder with less taxes.

[FreedomofSpeech911]

We need to vote for Ron Paul at cnn . com /am for tonights GOP debate on CNN! Spread the Word!

[helmetsuck]

Paul needs to show leadership tonight giving voters a reason to support him.

i am sick of all the talking points. Paul has an opportunity to step up, promise voters what everyone else refuses to do.

CLOSE BORDERS first month in office if elected! voters would be 100% in support of him...no other canidate is willing to step up

[MaxPower35700]

OR--

Some of the outrageous pork projects Paul voted to keep include $231,000 for the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association's Urban Center; $129,000 for the "perfect Christmas tree project;" $300,000 for the On Location Entertainment Industry Craft Technician Training Project in California; $150,000 for the South Carolina Aquarium; and $500,000 for the National Mule and Packers Museum in California.

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

If you're going to come up with such quotes, then quote the whole article:

In defense of his support for earmarks, Rep. Paul took the if you can't beat 'em, join 'em position, arguing that "I don't think they should take our money in the first place. But if they take it, I think we should ask for it back."

[MaxPower35700]

So it's ok for you Paulettes to post crap but when we take something out of context we've done wrong.

Go clean up your own house propeller head !

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Paul's record on spending is praiseworthy. Though he represents a district rich in rice and cattle and battered by Hurricane Rita, he consistently voted against farm subsidies, FEMA, and flood aid. When it comes to spending, he stands neither with the Repubs or the Dems, but the taxpayers, often lambasting his own party for straying from the principles of small government: "Taxpayers are tapped out," he wrote in a 2005 article. "Where will the money for Big Government conservatism come from?"

[bgeers2626]

Where do you get your facts from?

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Read the article from Club for Growth.

[bgeers2626]

Thanks!

Go Ron Paul!

[MaxPower35700]

OH I GET THE AD !

This year, Ron Paul requested more than sixty earmarks "worth tens of millions of dollars for causes as diverse as rebuilding a Texas theater, funding a local trolley, and helping his state's shrimp industry

[PreservingLiberty]

I live in St Augustine and I even bought a straw poll ticket but I'm just way too tied up to go... i'll be there in spirit. I wish I could though... DAMNIT!

[DrWillyWildcat]

ive got a perfect one.. tweak 2:25-3:25 watch?v=90ELleCQvew

[livanletliv]

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Yes, check out the main channel page at RonPaulAdCompetition. I have commented about this and lots of other subjects in the comments and bulletins!

[DrWillyWildcat]

i dont have the programs to do it but if you could tweek this tweak 2:25-3:25 watch?v=90ELleCQvew shorten with ron paul in it as beale and tweak the issues... it'd be perfect...

[LightWarrior2]

I hope you win!!

[Benaiahh]

I can't wait to see the winner.

[DryWetTowel]

blind?

[takadi]

What exactly does "advanced public screenings" mean?

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

It means do not post it on YouTube as a public file, don't post it anywhere on the Internet, don't distribute it, don't share it with a wide audience. Basically don't make available to the mass public in any way, shape or form. If it is made available the video is disqualified.

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Uh YouTube is about as public as you can get. :) Post on YouTube privately and share only with RonPaulAdCompetition. See the channel page for details.

[Seagravers]

What song is used in this video?

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Stars and Stripes Forever! by John Philip Sousa ... also happens to be our National March. How many knew we had a national march?  ;)

[Seagravers]

Thanks! And I wasn't aware of this song being called the National march! :O

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

You're welcome. Yep, it is recognized by the US government as the official march of the United States.

[TheFamousPeterBarker]

lol i didn't know that, either. i thought our national march was "hail to the chief" :)

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

"Hail to the Chief" is for the President ... Star and Stripes Forever is for the People. :D

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

To everyone posting comments: I am absolutely fine with civil discourse and debate. However if discussions devolve into name calling and profanities, your comments will be removed. Repeat it enough times, and you will be blocked. -- Sincerely, Management.

Thank you.

Great comment blair. Almost rhymes. Are you a rapper?.......boom chicka boom boom wiki wiki wiki wiki

In any case you project yourself well.

[traitorist]

FOX News/GOP Iowa Debate, December 4th, is canceled.

[peace0ff]

news link to verify?

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Check out IowaPolitics dot com. It's on their front page. However the Des Moines Register will be sponsoring a debate on December 12th, and all the same people will be attending.

[peace0ff]

even ron?

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Yes, Ron Paul will be there. However it will only be televised on Iowa Public Television and starts at something like 1pm on the 12th.

[GTOJudge68]

I didn't see anything on their page about the debate. I must be going blind.

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

It is under the FRI News Summary for 11/16, although now it seems like subscription is required. Just google "december 4 debate cancelled" and you'll see it.

[Paul84674]

Actually we have a debate about candidates on youtube every day through the comment system. We don't need some old media gatekeeper to tell us what is a "debate" or "news". CNN I hope you go bankrupt and you neocons have to get real jobs.

[leoca]

Youtube Debate??? YOUTUBE debate? YOUTUBE?

Oh boy. That's gonna be a RON PAUL night. Hahahahahahahaha

[peace0ff]

they aren't biased.

[sharedvoice]

I just submitted a really AWESOME video for the upcoming CNN/YouTube Debate. I hope you guys like it! ;)

RON PAUL FOR LIBERTY!

[Funkmasterizzy]

I think this debate will be Ron Paul's home court advantage. With all the great RP vids, I'm expecting this 30 sec winner to be completely mindblowing and a chance for the people to show how far a level we are beyond that of the hired campaign people of the other canidates.

[btehrani2]

Ron Paul is certainly the best of the republicans. Barack Obama is the best of the democrats. (They are both smart, knowledgeable, have good judgment, and honest)

They are not running against each other on primary, so LETS GET THEM BOTH NOMINATED.

National election: Ron Paul vs Obama (a real election)

[themightysmackles]

Obama isn't honest. You know about his involvement with the CFR?? He keeps that quiet, and when asked plays it down.

[btehrani2]

He has said several times that he oppose their view point. Remember, membership does not mean agreement. See his 2002 interview.

[Peer0001]

"membership does not mean agreement"? So, he's dishonest instead of biased?

[IBEZ]

Obama? No, a real election would be Paul vs. Gravel.

[btehrani2]

Gravel can't win and will not be nominated. The question is do you want Clinton against Paul or Obama against Paul.

Look. I know many Obama supporters. They will love Ron Paul as you do if they get a chance to hear him. They are the only people who can support Ron Paul move up on the polls (Not internet polls). and vice versa.

[IBEZ]

Well, I didn't think we were talking about the most likely ideal election. Sure, if we're in the realm of realism here then Paul vs. Obama would be ideal.

[btehrani2]

I am glad we agree.

[peace0ff]

ron paul leads all rep. candidates in straw poll victories.

[sollycardy98]

and I think that's an indication that he will win. Straw polls are polls of people who will actually go out and vote. Remember only a small percentage of people actually vote and i'm confident most Ron Paul supporters will vote, and there's more then enough to win. I'm just crossing my fingers that they will actually count the votes properly.

[blair227]

Straw polls for a strawman with no spine.

[harrison1184]

If spamming were indeed true of the ron paul campaign then every candidate would be a phenomenon on the internet. If it were that simple then he would not be gaining so much ground. Ron Paul 08

[electrick2]

I'm skeptical about this idea. Sure, some RP supporters have made some great videos, but do they hold copyright to the audio, music, pictures and video they use? Mostly the answer is no. This is going to be difficult to accomplish in a little over a week. Best of luck.

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

I can understand your thoughts, but I think you'll be surprised at what gets created. A number of people are jumping in to this process who have not been involved in previous videos.

[wareaglemom]

Ron Paul supporters, please get lots of input from friends and your local meetup of supporters (but don't pre-screen online) before submitting a video. I imagine CNN could "choose" a winning video ad made by a well-meaning supporter that has negative ramifications toward Paul with their spin. Especially the way the MSM has been cooking up this "Ron Paul supporters are terrorists" idea.

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Actually just to clarify in case there's any confusion, Ron Paul and the campaign will be selecting the final video, not CNN. Only one video will be sent to CNN for the debate.

[wareaglemom]

Thank You for clarifying! I have complete confidence that the ad selected will be great! The campaigners working for Ron Paul are doing an excellent job.

[urangrmksmehppy]

This is fun! Wow, to have my videos made into a bumper sticker to be seen on cars and trucks all over the country! One ? tho, how will you pick what part of the question to put on the sticker? The you tube mini-picture? Or should you just make all 30 secs the same slogan or picture?

[LeeGeeGee]

Maybe some of the good ones that don't win will be used for TV commercials, since the official campaign is so bad at making commercials. (What the hell do they do with our donation?)

[putteringpluie]

The video needs to showcase the passion and energy of the ppl behind RonPaul. Also RP's integrity, consistency and common sense philosophy.

Tough job to do in 30 sec. [:)]

[InTheSticks1881]

This is absolutely wonderful!!!!

[mike6459]

need something with broad age and social economic appeal...I don't think Twisted Sister is going to cut it

[jtogea]

Let's do this thing! Ron Paul 2008!

[gunjin22]

Sent a email straight to eLIB3RTY on this!! I am sure he can make a great one.

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Yep I did the same ... also to avaroth, frankdogg and a few others.

[Dogg1980]

[molulz]

Hey, check out the song "We're not goona take it" by Twisted Sister !!! Great song, I'm sure you will know what images to add.

[Paul84674]

Better yet just ditch CNN, you know the network that says Hillary is god and that Ron Paul has .0001% support.

[mykainsbroken]

there's going to be about....hmmm...id say at least 800 videos to sort through. lol

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

lol I sure hope so ... I'll gladly put my entire day after Thanksgiving toward this effort. A lot better than dealing with the mall crowds. :)

[mykainsbroken]

hey, we didnt bombard you guys too bad in philly aye?... i was talking to carol, lines are getting too long for the Doctor. but thats a good thing :)

[zombo611]

are you going to post them on youtube afterwards?/

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Yes, all the videos will be switched from private to public after November 28th.

[zombo611]

Nice

[ByronKelly]

how i wish i had some video editing skills, i'm more of a photoshop guy

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Maybe you get together with someone who has video skills and work together?

[fuzzybekool]

i think we need a video that will have the same impact as the "Girl with Daisies" video that was used successfully to derail Barry Goldwater.

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

I think that level of impact would be amazing ... just hopefully no nuclear bombs included. ;)

[Disposable50]

You're right, that's the type of powerful statement we need.

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Definitely spread the message far and wide! Let's get all the talented and creative people we have involved in this!

[edward9145]

What I have seen on youtube is just fantastic, should be some great ideas coming forward. So much talent out there.

Looking forward to it!

N.H. for Ron Paul 2008

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Maybe we could get a chat room or a thread set up on the Forums? Can you make this happen?? I think it would be a great idea!

[alexpppalace]

I wish we had a gigantic chat room for RP supporters that we could meet and discuss creative ideas.

just a thought.

[chaostherie]

People of Youtube....

I have seen some really amazing Videos on youtube in support for Ron Paul....

Ranging between videos aimed at us "Ron Paul heads" then videos aimed at more of a conservitive side,

WHAT I AM ASKING FOR

Please let's make a kick ass video that is going to knock the socks of people but lets NOT make a kick ass video that either won't be used or used then only great to us........

ROCK ON!!!!

RON PAUL 08 MAKE IT HAPPEN

Boston TEA PARTY!!!

[RonPaulAdCompetition]
