McCain’s new ad, “millions,” presents Obama as a scary candidate whose tax proposals should frighten tax payers almost to death. The ad employs a narration with a raconteur who has a very scary tone of voice. “Boo!” The following are some of the most important quotes, “Obama wants to spend money.” “He has plans for your money.” “He wants to increase taxes on your income, your electric bills, and your life savings.” “Ready to Tax, Ready to Spend, Not Ready to Lead, the Real Obama.”
John Kerry, former presidential candidate for the 2004 election.
“Twelve billion dollars a month — a month — are being spent in a place where there was no al-Qaida and there were no weapons of mass destruction.
