Here is video of John McCain's latest ad called "The Taxman Cometh." It hits Obama hard for his long list of tax increases, and summarizes with the line: "Higher Taxes-Higher Gas Prices-Economic Disaster."

Red meat for this fiscal conservative.

Not bad. I wish the ad would have given a couple of examples of Hussein’s higher taxes, but I do realize they’re trying to reach those voters with very short attention spans.

I heard a McCain radio ad this morning driving to work (I live in Cincinnati). He basically hammered Obama on intending to raise taxes and stated that his economic policies would lead to higher gas prices.

Foreign policy debates certainly help McCain, but he needs to stick with the energy issue and taxes and never let up.

When does the mccain group start doing ad’s saying what he will do as opposed to Obama.

Somehow, Hussein’s dumass ramblings when asked about cap gains rates vs revenue

need to be exploited.

Hussein: It’s a matter of fairness
questioner: X% of people making $Y reported cap gains on their tax returns, and you want to raise taxes on them?
Hussein: Most of those cap gains were in 401k’s

Hussein, you _dumbass_, if they were in 401k’s, THEY WOULDN’T BE ON THEIR TAX RETURNS!

No need to.

This election has nearly nothing to do with McCain.

Good point. 70% of the ad shows Obama.

So Hussein Obama is against raising taxes?

I was giving a presentation in Vegas to mortgage people. When someone in the audience said “Isn’t it inevitable that taxes will eventually double to pay for Social Security, Medicare, health care, etc. i said, “First, the government should come clean that we can’t afford these program and announce budget cuts. Second, and what is often overlooked, what right does the government have to keep stealing my money from me at gunpoint to give to their friends?”

The scary thing is that even Republicans have bought into the inevitability of massive tax increases.

This is a brilliant ad. Very simple and straightforward - with third parties making the implied endorsement.

I don’t even like McCain, and I can think of at least two McCain ads concerning himself and his experience/plans.

I would LOVE to see McCain play this clip in an ad. Barack Obama in his own words saying he will NOT run for President in 2008 election because he lacks experience.

Just that clip (without any added commentary) and then say at the end , “I'm John McCain and I approve and agree with this message”.

I would think that the ads are meant to say he will do the opposite of the chosen one. Haven’t they been doing this for decades?

If you get cold, I’ll tax the heat.

If you walk too far, I’ll tax your feet.

I’d say there are some McCain people perusing FR.

That would be an outstanding ad.
