'Accountable' - New McCain Ad
John McCain's campaign has a new ad out on the economy running in Iowa. The :30 second spot is titled "Accountable."
Clearly this ad takes on the distortions being aired by the DNC's negative attack. Which is also another negative attack that has gone unrebuked by Barack Obama, even though the major news organizations of cited the ad as being unfair and misleading.
Nevertheless, this is a good positive rejoinder by the McCain campaign.
The ad script reads:
JOHN MCCAIN: The great goal is to get the American economy running at full strength again - creating the opportunities Americans expect and the jobs Americans need.
ANNCR: As president, John McCain will make taxes simpler, fairer;
Energy cleaner, cheaper;
Health care portable and affordable;
Corporate CEOs accountable;
Mortgage debt restructured;
Big ideas for serious problems,
John McCain.
I'm John McCain and I approve this message.

Accountable? McCain and Clinton are being held accountble for a WAR that should have never been WAGED OR FOUGHT. As far as Global Warming goes, many scientists refute Gore's theory. How are we to know if his cause is accurate or just another attention gimmick. Gore win the Nobel Prize and got him some claimt to fame. Causes can be driven by many reasons. My take is, it has not been proven that climate changes are all the fault of the way we live. The poles are known to shift; nothing in the Universe is stationary. Yin and Yang. Tide goes in, tide goes out. I remain unconvinced. Like they say in Missouri, prove it.
I also maintain the same approach in this presidential election. I would like to have Clinton prove she is ahead of Barack Obama in states, delegates, superdelegates and popular votes. Claiming red vs blue states and claiming Florida and Michigan is a red herring used to defray Clinton's losing battle. A fact is something that can be proven. Clinton has proved nothing; is a cheap empty pant's suit full of false rhetoric and false claims. Falling victim to her falsity, the general public, who she should be honest with, she has fooled and betrayed. Her honesty level is rated the lowest of any candidate thus far. Talk is cheap.

Go McCain!!!!! He is the best bet for our next president. We sure do not want to see Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton, and we sure do not want someone that has such a two faced shaky background like Obama's. He is too young and too much of an unknown, with ties to undesirable individuals.

Add is ok by me. I am one of those Democrats that will be voting for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination. He has to speak to us, these are issues a lot of us DO care about.
I'd rather have somebody who has proved his or her loyality and love for this great country as president as opposed to somebody who's beginnings and loyality is questionable and openly embraces people who hate it.
Hillary for President

As usual, all mouth, nothing done. McCain's senate record does not reflect anhy of these changes. Do you really want another 4 or 8 years of these kind of promises that never materialize. America is in big trouble. We need to try other ideas instead of justpromises, promises, promises!

Tyler your right talk is cheap. So until Obama wants to give us some concrete ways of how he is gonna change things, own up to his real beliefs and not back pedal on words that have come from his own mouth about our country and people that live in it I wish he would stop talking.

McCain can say what he wants - I have no faith that he will be his own man, as he was as Senator. Being one of 100 Senators is easy, being the leader of your party and still trying to be a 'maverick' is next to impossible. I have every reason to believe McCain will let the hard line neocons in the GOP tell him what to do. One only need listen to his speech last week on judges to know he was pandering to the religious right - in other words, yes, I will see to it that Roe v. Wade is overturned - although the Republicans never have the guts to say so. As much as I am not wild about Obama or Clinton either, the Supreme Court is also a factor, which is rarely discussed. Justice John Paul Stevens is 88 and will likely retire. I am not ready to throw the court completely to the Clarence Thomas' and the Antonin Scalia's.

The Democrats were given control as a result of the last congressional elections. They vowed that 'things will be different'. In reality, what we got was just more of the same rangling amongst elected representatives that can't seem to agree on anything except when it comes to voting themselves a pay increase. Obama claims 'I didn't vote for that war (in Iraq)'. No kidding! You weren't even an elected official at the Federal level at the time of the initial vote, you moron! McCain is no 'savior' either. He's been a member of that collection of elite, self-serving civil servants for many years so he must take some blame for our current state of affairs. But at least he has demonstrated his loyalty to this country by way of his military service record. When have either of the other two (Clinton or Obama) been willing to lay their lives on the line in such a manner?

I don't care for any of the Democrats or the Republicans that are running. This will be the first of many years i will not VOTE....

Unfortunately Clinton is the only Democrat standing in the way of the elite far-lefts attempt to take full control of the Democratic Party. Read More about the New American Disenfrachisement.
How did Barack Obama become the front-runner? With little Washington experience, no foreign policy experiece, no record of ever crossing party lines either in Washington or in Illinois, and consistently trailing Clinton for 2 years prior to the first primary.
Want to know who is behind Obama's sudden popularity?
You might be surprised!

It is all about who Obama is, his past, and who and what he supported before becoming a dem nominee – we all know they say anything to get elected.
We have a right to know whom, the wolf really is in sheep’s clothing, we are being asked to vote for and put into the White House.
IS THIS THE OBAMA CHANGE YOU WANT?
Rashid Khalidi: a PLO activist supports Obama for president "because he is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause."
Obama's Brother: Abongo Roy Obama - a Luo activist & militant Muslim.
Obama's Cousin: Raila Odinga (a jihadist & signed NAMLEF) burned alive & macheted 600 Kenyan Christians; Kenya 2006 Obama campaigned for cousin Raila Odgin.
WHICH ONE OF THESE MEN WILL BE OBAMA’S FOREIGN ADVISORS?
Hillary or McCain in 2008

What are we Democrats trying to do, lose by putting Obama in as our nominee? Does the Democrat Party really fear women power that much that we prefer to lose rather than nominate Hillary? Rest assured there are millions of "US" who will not support Obama no matter what Hillary asks us to do. This is a dark time for the Democrats if, we continue on this path. Think voters and superdelegates before we get beat!!!
JOE1:22AMMay 13th 2008
Obama will never win...if obama bin laden wins, this nation is done!!! We need Clinton to win!! Do we want a Muslim who denounces anything that gets in his way...he is a liar, cheat, and muslim...we need a strong and intelligent president.
Clinton 08'
Get the muslim out of office...he is not black...he's muslim...

This ad seems like an ad from a democrat.
He also has that other moderate--middle-ground climate change ad.
I think if Obama faces him, McCain will swoop up a high number of Hillary mod and con dems.
Hillary or McCain.
Never Obama.
