Before Texas Congressman Ron Paul steps on stage to debate his fellow GOP presidential contenders tomorrow, he is already taking aim at one of the frontrunners, Rick Perry, by way of his latest campaign video.

While it's unsure if Texas Governor Rick Perry will participate in Wednesday's debate, Sen. Paul is taking a shot at the top-tier candidate off the stage. In his latest campaign video, Paul tries to alienate Perry from the Republican Party for the governor's earlier attempts to "undo the Reagan Revolution."

The latest promo from Paul pegs the Senator as a supporter of the Republican-worshipped era of Ronald Reagan, while blasting Perry for his support of Al Gore's 1988 presidential run that undermined all that the Gipper accomplished through his two terms as commander-in-chief. The video remembers a younger Paul as a backer of Reagan back when "the establishment called him extreme and unelectable" and "the wrong man for the job" (sound familiar?). Paul, declares the promo, was one of only four congressmen to indorse Reagan's first run for presidency.

While Reagan ran on a platform of lowering taxes and instituting a smaller government, says the video, the Gore campaign that Perry backed was one based on raising taxes and an increase on government spending.

A voiceover at the finale of the minute-long clip poses the question to the audience, "America must decide who to trust: Al Gore's Texas cheerleader or the one who stood with Reagan?"

Americans will have a chance to check out the GOP contenders once again this week, with a Republican debate scheduled for Wednesday evening at the Ronal Reagan Presidential Library in California. Governor Perry was still unsure as of Tuesday if he would be able to attend, however, as he is making the wildfires ravaging the Lone Star state his top priority at the moment

Last month's Iowa Straw poll put Paul in second-place among Republican candidates, losing out to Michele Bachmann by only 152 votes. Perry, however, did not formally announce his candidacy until that same day.

Earlier in the month of August, Paul came in first place on an online Straw Poll.

  • I have subbed you back !

  • I can't believe that I almost considered Ron Paul as a plausible candidate. This ad quenched that idea. What a crock.

  • This has got to be the most condescending ad I've ever seen Truly. Al Gore PROMISED to raise taxes and increase spending. What idiot came up with this? Conservative or Liberal, I don't care, the writing is ridiculous.

  • Literally he found the cheerleader how sweet, almost, news report Rick Perry has dropped out of race, unfortunately too late for the disgrace may you wear it brightly as deserved, forever

  • @efg36 try 32, and the ad says after Reagan, meaning 1988

  • Why waste resources on Perry? It's Romney who needs to be worried about. Perry did enough harm to his own campaign. Romney is Paul's closest rival.

  • i actually liked al gore

  • @MontajBlaze Though Ron Paul might have exaggerated the facts somewhat, the blatantly obvious point still remains that Rick Perry and Al Gore are essentially the same pair of losers today ..Two flaky brain cell burn-out out male bimbo imbecilic personal Religion crusaders ..the anthorpocentrist climate change Agenda in Al Gore's case, and the obsessive abuse of executive power and the desire to Federally institutionalize Evangelical morality for Rick Perry.

  • @MontajBlaze Rick Perry was a life long (somewhat moderate) southern Democrat until he was about 39 years old. I've done my research and there is evidence that he was supportive of Al Gore as recently as 1988. Rick Perry even openly admitted this in an interview this past summer.

  • @efg36 Are you for real? ..Al Gore was 19 when Reagan was still serving his first term as Governor of California ..LOL!
