Ron Paul supporters hit Perry, Romney in new ad
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...
"The substantial differences between the GOP candidates are becoming increasingly clear," says Tom Woods, chairman of Revolution PAC's advisory board. "The question now becomes: Will the American people accept being governed by establishment-driven 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... 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."... 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%.

5. He might do that
One thing about Paul, he seems to get in some pretty good shots at the other guys. I guess he has to if he wants to get any attention. The good thing is when he does go after them, it highlights their shortcomings and gets them to attack him back. I love it!

3. I have some sympathy for Ron Paul.
Although I wouldn't want him to be president, I do agree with him on some issues, like drugs, prostitution, the Patriot Act, TSA pat downs, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the death penalty. I don't really agree with Perry or Romney on anything.
