Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee
"Machine" +
:30 ad run starting Dec. 28, 2011 in Iowa and NH.
[Music and SFX] Male Announcer: The
Washington machine is strangling our economy.
Politicians who supported bailouts and mandates, serial hypocrites
and flip-floppers can't clean up the mess.
One man stands alone. A real plan to cut a trillion dollars
year one, balance the budget in three.
Consistent. Incorruptible. Guided by faith and principle.
Ron Paul. The one we've been looking for.
Paul (voiceover): I'm Ron Paul and I approved this message.
Notes:
According to the press release:
The 30-second ad condemns the dysfunctional
Washington-insider atmosphere
created and furthered by slick politicians, and presents Ron Paul as a
leader who has stood apart and above such an environment.
‘Machine’ suggests that the self-serving actions of serial
flip-flopping politicians brought about the current period of
government-imposed economic weakness. These politicians are ones
that
supported corporate bailouts and mandates on businesses, to the
detriment of our overall economic health. In glaring contrast,
Ron
Paul is showcased as a different kind of politician who has always been
outside of the well-oiled machine that works for itself rather than for
America’s needs. Included in the ad are details of the 12-term
Congressman from Texas’s ‘Plan to Restore America,’ which makes the hard
choices and sets the nation on a path to recovery and lasting,
sustainable prosperity.
“Our new ad ‘Machine’ argues the point that Washington is populated
with politicians and well-connected interests that serve themselves
rather than a vulnerable public that relies on politicians to create
the proper atmosphere for fair competition and growth. In
contrast Ron
Paul has always been above the fray and promotes policies and
initiatives such as his ‘Plan to Restore America,’
an economic blueprint to help Americans recapture their
constitutionally-guaranteed economic and civil liberties,” said Ron
Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.
