New McCain Web Ad: "I am Joe" (featuring homemade videos submitted by ordinary folks)
johnmccain.com ^ | 9/23/08

Posted on 10/23/2008 1:04:34 PM PDT by paudio

Today, McCain-Palin 2008 released its latest web ad, entitled "I am Joe." The ad features Americans who submitted their homemade videos to the campaign telling their stories and how they are like "Joe the Plumber." Like Joe in Ohio, people from across the country do not want to see their taxes increase as Barack Obama proposes. They don't want a president who will "spread the wealth around" instead of creating new wealth and new opportunity. They don't want a president who sees economic success, expansion and job creation as an excuse to increase taxes. They don't want a president who will place a tax on the American dream.

I saw the “I am Joe” TV ad for the first time last night during our local news here in Minnesota. I’ve thought most other McCain ads here were rather generic yawners, but this one last night was terrific. They need to run it as much as possible until election day.

Just awesome. Completely strips away the “McCain doesn’t understand the working people” BS that Empty Suit was trying to run with.

Too bad this is a web ad. It won’t have a impact on the people it needs to reach.

This ad should be a TV ad in this raw state in every swing state starting Monday.
With the little money he may have left this should be the one they use.

Too late at this point anyhow. No money and no time.

Next election, we need to forgo matching funds, set up a donation bank and start making illegal $200 donations to our campaign just like Obama appears to be doing.

A prepaid 'gift' visa card with $25,000 on it can make a lot of contributions.

Why did I tear up, watching it? I don't know.

I sent McCain Palin some money yesterday. I've only donated to a politician one other time in my life.

It wasn't much, but I'm very worried about the future, and not spending much on anything these days.
