Guess which candidate for president has begun airing television ads that celebrate the fact that he battled the backward-thinking George Bush on global warming.
Here's a hint: It's the same contender who is
promoting himself as the candidate of
"Reform. Prosperity. Peace."
Who is this radical battler against a corrupt, dangerous and brain-dead status quo?
John McCain.
The Republican candidate for president is
running harder against the current Republican president than
Democrat Barack Obama.
Here's the script for the McCain campaign's new ad, which begins
airing today in battleground states such as Wisconsin.
ANNOUNCER: John McCain stood
up to the President and sounded the alarm on global warming ...
five years ago.
Today, he has a realistic plan that
will curb greenhouse gas emissions.
A plan that will help grow our economy and protect our
environment.
Reform. Prosperity. Peace. John McCain.
JOHN
MCCAIN: I'm John McCain and I approve this
message.
