How to Defeat Obama
by James Buchanan
During the primary, I offered up some advice to Ron Paul. I warned that the mass media would ignore him, and that he needed to run short, to-the-point national commercials that focused on the illegal alien problem and ending the Iraq War as soon as possible. Ron Paul also needed to make it clear that his opponents could not be trusted on the immigration issue (contrary to the last minute flip-flops that they were making).

There is more than a reasonable doubt that Mr. Obama was born in Kenya, and this doubt needs to be spread across America. The ad could focus on the following points: (more…)
