Ron Paul supporters hit Perry
A super PAC trying to help Texas Rep. Ron Paul is out with a new video deriding Rick Perry and Mitt Romney as "plastic men" while slamming the news media for making the GOP presidential nomination fight into a choice between "this pretty boy or that pretty boy."
Revolution PAC is asking for donations to help run the ad in key primary states and plans what it's calling a "super bomb" fundraiser for Sept. 19. Paul set fundraising records in the 2008 campaign with his targeted, "money bomb" fundraisers.
"The substantial differences between the GOP candidates are becoming increasingly clear," says Tom Woods, the north face coupon codes chairman of Revolution PAC's advisory board. "The question now becomes: Will the American people accept being governed by establishmentdriven plastic men and automatons or will they opt for the constitutional consistency, incorruptibility and real economic foresight of Ron Paul?"
The video ad features animated renditions of Romney, signing Massachusetts' health care law, as the announcer says the legislation was "praised by President Obama." The Massachusetts health care law, like the national one signed by Obama, contains an insurance mandate. the north face coupons Romney is seen in the ad seated next to Obama, who slaps a gold star on Romney's forehead, and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.
In its swipe against Perry, the ad shows an animated depiction of the Texas governor with a needle and wearing rubber gloves, as the announcer says Perry "forced young girls in Texas to be injected with an STD vaccine."
Perry has defended his executive order requiring all girls to be vaccinated against human papillomavirus, or HPV, the leading cause of cervical cancer. During last week's debate in California, Paul an obstetrician/gynecologist slammed Perry's unilateral decision as being "not good medicine" and "not good social policy."
Paul gets 12% in a new CNN/ORC International poll on the GOP nomination, placing him fourth behind Perry, Romney and Sarah Palin. If Palin is not included, the Texas congressman's standing rises to 13%.
