McCain Resurrects “3 a.m.” Ad

(DENVER) On the day Hillary Clinton is slated to address the Democratic National convention here, John McCain’s campaign has released a new ad that uses Clinton’s actual “3am” spot from the primaries and includes a quote from Clinton at that time favorable comparing McCain to Barack Obama.

The ad opens with the familiar lines, “it’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?” Over pictures of missile launches and terrorist training, the announcer intones, “uncertainty dangerous aggression, rogue nations, radicalism.” Then the ad carries a clip from Clinton in the primaries, saying, “I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House. And, Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.” The ad ends, “Hillary’s right. John McCain for president.” The campaign says the ad will run in key states. Watch it:

If Hillary was woke up at 3:00 AM in the White House, her first words would be "Where''s Bill?"

If McCain is in the white house after 1/20/09 and the phone rings at 3:00 AM it will be answered "This is Barbie doll, no I mean Cindy doll!"

If the 3:00 call comes into the Obama White house, it will just keep ringing either due to lack of interest or inexperience in answering phones.

Its 3AM and John McCain is getting up to go to the bathroom for the fifth time in 4 hours due to an enlarged prostate.

But he needs help in the bathroom because hes filled his Depends diaper.

Who does he call: His bath room buddy Larry "Toe Tapper" Craig.

Its 3AM and John "Greedy Boy" McCain is taking a wide stance and dumping on the American Dream.

How does it feel to side with red-neck mentality ?

How does it feel to be on the side of anti-abortion and know that your Republican president had the chance to change the laws in the first four years of his administration, before the Democrats took over
Congress and the Senate ?

How does it feel to pay for four dollar gas ?

How does it feel to support a war with the lives of our young men that did not need to be fought ?

How does it feel to now vote For John Mc Cain when we have it from his own lips that he voted 90% of the time with George Bush ? I assume he was voting with his heart and best judgment.

The phone will ring at 3:00am and Barack will answer it. Frightened and confused, he speed dials Biden and then conferences in Hillary blubbering and begging for guidance and direction.

%u201CI know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House. And, Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.%u201D Amen Hill-Bill.

Forget about it Dems, you bet on the wrong horse, Hillary would have crushed McCain. Now you just better pray that Obama rallies the youth vote, whom will probably be home nursing a hangover or too busy playing X-Box on Election Day to Vote.

People are getting tired of Obama''s Racism Excuse.

Obama''s Supporters are all whining about baseless racism.

He is NOT the Messiah....

I am a Moderate Democrat who firmly Obama not only has destroyed DEM Party, he may well destroy the Country.

I cannot hope that a man who divide the DEM Party can "unite" the Country. NO way.

Democrats for NOOOObama.

Hey jenny1233,

I can answer that...

$4 Gas - I commute 6 miles a day and fill up monthly, so it doesnt hurt at all. Take the Oil Exec''s advice, stop using so much of their product, oh, and how bout telling Nancy to allow a vote on offshore drilling.

Abortion - Im Catholic and Conservative and even I know abortion will never be illegal, does not mean my tax dollars need to fund it.

Iraq War - Havent seen any Skyscrapers falling down lately, have you?

McCains voting record with Bush - That only bugs the liberal left, traditionalist know better.

At least there will only be one phone number to contend with--If McCain is at one of his seven houses and he cant remember which one--we''re in trouble.I want Barack answering all three AM calls-as they will be answerd with logic,sound judgement and intellect. We have had enough of those who think that because they have been around the longest they have all the right answers.

I guess the effectiveness of this ad will depend on whether people have a high tolerance level for weasels like McCain or not.

Still, the Democrats have only themselves to blame.

These guys below are criticizing the McCain campaign for Cheap Shots?!?!

What a bunch of loser hypocrits! LOL

But that''s about all you can expect from people who are so stupid that the believe the tired old lies the Democratic Party puts out year after year ... election after election.

In fact, the Democratic Party has stalled legislation on the economy. They are so pathetically self interested that they sit and let the working man suffer, due to their own inaction, just so they can purposefully shift the blame in a vain attempt to win an election.

In particular, they''ve kept a much needed, well regarded energy bill on the shelf for years now just so they could misdirect the blame during this campaign. Shame on them, and shame on you lemmings ready to follow them off the cliff.

Michelle Obama said it best last night, some people will vote for hope and change this November, others will continue to vote out of fear. We can be a vigilant nation against terror with intel, but al Qaeda and the terrorists won a key battle when we chose to destroy our economy and constitution to chase ghosts in the desert for 8 long years. It''s clearly Osama for McCain in ''08, hoping to inflict even more damage on a naive nation all too quick to drop bombs and wave flags the world-round.

It seems in the quote of Clinton that she is going to say something after what they quoted. What I mean is, it seems like they cut the sentence in half.

At least, Kerry was able to Unite the DEM Party.

So far, Obama has been dividing the DEM Party.

This guy is definitely a divisive figure, not a uniter.

What a Fraud.

"they''ve kept a much needed, well regarded energy bill on the shelf for years now"

Probably a Republican energy bill designed to give tax breaks to big oil even though they''re raking in billions off the backs of the working class. Or a bill to open up more areas to drilling, even though oil companies are already sitting on millions of acres of unused oil leases with no intention of ever increasing supply. These are not energy policies, they are ruses designed to make a lot of money for people who already have a lot of money. Be grateful there''s people in DC who occasionally vote to protect the people instead of big business (i.e., not the Republicans).
