Using typical Rovian/Republican tactics, McCain approved a new ad link that is taken right out of the George W. playbook. McCain's piece tells lies, it does not tell Americans one iota of truth about our energy problems, McCain presents simple false 'solutions' to get votes, solutions that will not work and will lead to more hardships.  Come another election when things may be even worse, Republicans will once again try to blame  somebody else.

Does McCain and his Straight Talk Express take any resposniblity for the state of the economy? No. Does he give Americans the true picture of how we can solve our dependence on foreign oil? No. Does he present any realistic plan to help America reduce the cost of energy? No. He exploits the economic hardships of middle class Americans to try to get their votes.  He blames it all on the usual target, including first term Senator Obama.

If solving America's energy needs was so easy, why didn't McCain, Bush and the Republicans take care of it years ago?

For John McCain 'staying the course' means more lies and spin and no effort to confront real problems or to improve the lives of Americans by solving the very difficult challenges facing this nation. When will Obama take off the gloves?

McCain's ad:

(1) America can be free of foreign oil if we just drill more.

(2) If we drill more in America it will also lower the price of oil.

(3) Obama and the liberals have prevented drilling.

(4) The high price of oil is Obama's fault.

(5) Vote for McCain if you want cheap gas.
