John
McCain 2008
"Love America Enough"
|
[Music]
McCain:
Since I've been in Washington, I've made a lot of people angry.
I made defense contractors angry when I blew the whistle on a $30 billion dollar boondoggle and the culprits were sent to jail. I upset the special interests and Washington lobbyists when I passed campaign finance reform. I made the Pentagon angry when I criticized Rumsfeld's Iraq strategy, and I upset the media when I supported the strategy that's now succeeding. I angered the big spenders in Congress when I called for earmark and spending reform. No more $233 million dollar bridges to nowhere or $74 million for peanut storage in a defense spending bill. I didn't go to Washington to win the Mr. Congeniality award. I went to Washington to serve my country. I might not like the business as usual crowd in Washington. But I love America. I love her enough to make some people angry. I'm John McCain and I approve this message. |
Notes: McCain talking directly to the camera.
Text screens read "Reformer," "Took On The Pentagon," "Spending Reform,"
"Service," and "Love of Country."
Observations: It is a bit curious to employ the "angry" theme, since one of the knocks against McCain is his temper and that he is angry. |
