Tom Tancredo’s Great New Iowa Ad

Wow, a politician is finally listening to the Real Sporer. We have been saying for years that the most effective TV ad would feature the candidate talking to the public, now Tom Tancredo is doing it.

We just saw the new ad-Tom Tancredo speaking against a plain black background. Imagine that, a Presidential candidate actually just addressing the audience, foregoing the use of camera magic to create direct or subliminal marketing messages.

We’ve always felt that Tom Tancredo is among the most obviously sincere of politicians and man does this ad evidence that proposition. The basic format of the ad is nothing more than the pre-television radio and MovieTone sound bite. Before TV’s ability to manipulate imagery, the actual words employed by politicians were more important than the far less tangible concept of imagery. Tancredo clearly feels his message is the most important feature of his campaign.

Maybe it will start a bi-partisan trend, although the office betting here at TRS expresses a lack of confidence in such a change.

A big Real Sporer Hero Award for Tom Tancredo. Bravo.

I see the Eric Rudolph Fan Club has decided to join the blog. Don't you Switchback staffers have an abortionist to shoot somewhere?

Our raison d'ĂȘtre here at TRS

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill

We at The Real Sporer believe that the crises of our generation is the preservation of a United States of America based on fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oddly enough, our generation, that grew in the quiet and secure 50s, 60s and 70s and thought we could escape history now find ourselves at the cross roads of history. At a time when the prevailing media, academic and even now industrial elites find the easy road of paternalistic socialist totalitarianism more expedient to travel we are convinced that only preserving the more traditional America will better provide the well known blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to us and our posterity.

In the real world, the Republican freedom agenda is the only alternative to the thought police and rations commissar of the socialist nanny state. But the agenda that we share with the founding generation, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will never again prevail if we don't fight our generation's battle to renew America's commitment to freedom with our socialist adversaries.

Our mission statement is therefore clear: provide the information and argument that leads to a Republican Renaissance and Republican governance.
