New McCain Ad: "Enough Is Enough" On Economy

The McCain campaign has released a new ad, "Enough Is Enough," that suggests John McCain will provide "experience and leadership" on the economy "in a time of crisis."

The campaign says the spot will air nationally. It comes on the heels of the Obama campaign's criticism of McCain for suggesting "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" on the day that two Wall Street companies effectively collapsed.

"The economy is in crisis," McCain says as the spot opens. "Enough is enough. I'll meet this financial crisis head on."

"Reform Wall Street," he continues. "New rules for fairness and honesty. I won't tolerate a system that puts you and your family at risk. Your savings, your jobs – I'll keep them safe."

Adds an announcer: "Experience and leadership in a time of crisis."

If we would just accept the big lie and give the Busheviks a little more time, there really will be nothing left to worry about. Remember. we are all in this together. That is Republican and Democratic money we are borrowing to pay for the current economic follies. We have to clean out the Republican corruption that is eating away at the American fiber. Enough! Ya Basta!; Reply to this comment

by dnsallday September 17, 2008 12:58 PM EDT: How MCcain learned to campaign:

MCcain was jealous of Obama''s popularity and the enthusiasm of his supporters so he went and put an unqualified Beauty Queen on his ticket.

McCain has stolen Obama''s mantra of ''change'', now he has co opted his frequently used saying of ''enough is enough''.

Is McCain trying to be the white version of Obama?; Reply to this comment
