Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) will run television advertisements in Iowa and New Hampshire criticizing his party’s leaders for considering a compromise on raising the debt ceiling.
The stylized advertisement, which looks more like a movie trailer than the standard political ad, calls the debt-ceiling debate a “defining moment” for America.
“Will our party’s leaders repeat the mistakes of the past?” asks the ad’s narrator. “Will they choose compromise — or conviction?”
The ad goes on to describe Paul as “standing up to the Washington machine, guided by principle.”
Paul campaign manager Jesse Benton said the campaign had purchased six-figure ad buys in both states, and that the advertisements would run statewide on broadcast television as well as cable from Friday through the next week.
