John McCain Claims to be ‘Mr. Renewable Energy’ in New Ad

1 by Timothy Hurst on August 16, 2008

The latest logically-bereft John McCain television commercial left me scratching my head. This one continues on with the 'Obama-is-a-celebrity-therefore-he's-unfit-to-lead' theme by asking if he is "ready to help your family?" The narrator goes on to say, "The real Obama promises higher taxes, more government spending - so, fewer jobs."

Wait, what?

The ad then goes on to flash the iconic images of wind turbines and John McCain at some sort of manufacturing plant and the narrator says: "Renewable energy to transform our economy, create jobs and energy independence. That's John McCain."

Now you understand why I was dumbfounded, right? Here, watch it for yourself. [more]
