Ron Paul attacks Romney, Bachmann and Perry
August 17th, 2011 - 7:10 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattWashington, Aug 16 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The GOP race is heating up and hopeful Ron Paul has thrown the first major punch at the other candidates. The GOP candidates have until now mainly directed their attack on President Barack Obama but in his campaign ad which will be launched in Iowa, Paul changes gear and adds three of his challengers.
Paul accuses Mitt Romney, Michelle Bachmann and Rick Perry of adopting the strategy that brought Obama to power. In the ad campaign, the three main challengers are labeled as “smooth-talking politicians.” It will be interesting to see the reaction of the other candidates in the latest accusation.
In the ad, the pictures of Perry, Bachmann and Romney are flashed on the screen with those of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and of course that of President Barack Obama. After branding them as “smooth-talking politicians,” the ad further claims that they are involved in the accusation and counter accusation political game.
Latest straw poll in Iowa shows that Paul is lagging behind Romney, Perry and Bachmann. Several polls have given Romney a lead in the GOP race nationally and interestingly Perry who just announced his involvement in the race last weekend have moved to the second position with tea party favorite Bachmann coming third. Paul completes the top four list in the polls.
