Ron Paul's been advertising on my local progressive radio station
Here in Reno, on 1230KJFK, during Ed Schultz's and Randi Rhodes' shows, we've been getting 'Ron Paul for President' ads that ramble on about his tax proposals. :mad:

This when I don't hear any Democratic candidates advertising on this station. :shrug:

I hope progressives listening to this station aren't fooled by this.

Anyone else experiencing similar advertising in their area?

1. Outside of withdrawing from Iraq, Paul is a reich winger maximus.
He wants to privatize the daylights out of everything. Also, he's anti-choice.

2. I know. That's why I'm concerned.
I just don't know if the average Democratic voter here in this area is aware of that about him.

3. Thank Him For Supporting Your Station
His money is as green as anyones and that money goes to pay to keeping the lights and the Air America programming rolling on your local station.

I've had libertarian and Ron Paul people in my area for a while...most are Repugnicans in remission...gun nuts and anti-tax hounds more than anti-war.

4. My concern is that Ron Paul is gonna fool a lot of well meaning progressives.
Especially since his ads are being aired on our only progressive radio station.

5. no offense, but if any progressive is stupid enough to vote for that trilobite...
then 1)they aren't progressive and 2) they're dumb as dirt.

Ron Paul is HARD CORE anti-choice and his immigration policies make me cringe. Quite literally, the only thing he has going for him is that he's anti war, and to be honest, anyone with two brain cells to rub together should be against this Iraq war and any aggression in the middle east.

6. No offense taken, but have you knocked on doors lately and talked to voters?
Many are hopelessly ill-informed, to put it politely.
