McCain Ad Talks of Big Ideas for the Country

John McCain has a new ad running in Pennsylvania focusing on his big ideas for the country, including corporate accountability and healthcare. Oddly, the ad forgot some punctuation both on screen (acceptable in this context) and in narration (unacceptable). Energy is “cleaner cheaper” and taxes are “simpler fairer” under McCain. Don’t forget it.

Don't sweat the small stuff...

...and punctuation is the small stuff!

Listen. Let’s not get too caught up in the way modern commercials are made…when the real issue is that McCain, who voted consistently for the entire Bush agenda, is now trying to desperately distance himself from same.

Corporate accountability? A sop to the masses. Nothing will change under McCain. Ditto the rest of his “big sounding” ideas. This ad is boilerplate GOP garbage which you see every cycle; when the right wing candidates side step to the political middle in an effort to fool moderates into supporting them. Of course, if anyone’s been paying attention, those same candidates leave all those high-minded “ideas” behind the morning after…

Pilt

Yeah, don't sweat it.

Energy and food prices are skyrocketing due to the lack of any kind of sensible energy policy. Also, nevermind the record high budget deficits created by the Bush Adminstration’s supply side nonsense, and the ridiciously jacked up Federal spending. Honestly, who cuts taxes – primiarly to benefit the rich – while creating a new Federal Goverment Department (Homeland Security). If this is the fiscal responsibility so often quoted by the Republican party, I say take it and shove it. The American people need a new direction: One that returns to the middle class favorable policies of the the 1990s. One that returns the ideals of Abraham Lincoln – to clear the path for the ordinary man. Lets end this quasi-robber barron period, and return to some actual fiscal responsiblity. Lets invest in the American people, and keep an eye on the future so that we don’t handcuff later generations with disgusting level of debt.

what a joke

McSame as Bush has received the most campaign contributions from Oil & Gas corporations. The words “corporate accountability” and mccain is the biggest oxymoron.

Today’s news “McCain economic policy shaped by lobbyist”
“...former Texas Sen. Phil Gramm, as a lobbyist dealing specifically with legislation regarding the mortgage crisis as recently as Dec. 31, 2007.”

“... News of Gramm’s involvement as a paid advocate for the banking industry, simultaneous with his unpaid work on McCain’s economic policies, comes as McCain’s campaign continues to reel from the purge of four other lobbyists. Two weeks ago, McCain banned lobbyists from advising him on the same subjects covered by their lobbying work.”

So McCain’s best financial buddy was lobbying for UBS against any legislation that would help homeowners who are in foreclosure, many because of predatory lenders, and investment banks like UBS. Oh, and Gramm is rather famous for helping create the Enron catastrophe and loophole. Seriously, this is a joke, like McSame.

McCain lost a lot of

McCain lost a lot of support when he said he wouldn’t drill in ANWAR because it was so “pristine”. “Pristine” was his actual word. What a dork.
That’s the kind of insanity that will force more people to Bob Barr rather than to a phony Republican.
This is the first time I’ve ever considered voting for a Libertarian candidate, and every time McCain tells us that he won’t let us drill in polar wastelands, I consider it more seriously.
It may be the “pristine” thing to do.

its all BS

you mean were talking about John McBush. Google “keating five”
