"Pocket" TV Ad

"Pocket" illustrates the clear choice in this election between an approach that keeps us sending billions to oil companies and foreign governments and one that gives middle class families a $1,000 rebate funded by a windfall profits tax on the oil companies. On the air...

I hope Americans wake up, and realize they have been conned and tricked by people like Bush and McCain. McCain doesn't care if your child needs a heart operation. He is against universal health care. He is married to a rich heiress, and the taxpayers pay for his health care. The Neo-Con Republicans just want to make billionaires even richer, at the expense of everyone else. They lied to start phony wars. They looted the Treasury, and shredded the Constitution. Record debt. Terrible economy.

McCains primary concern is to make oil companies richer.

He wants:

- Extra Drilling = more oil profit.

- War in Iraq & Iran = more oil profit.

- To Open ANWR = more oil profit.

- No specific green targets (only feel good waffle!) = more oil profit.

- Gas tax holiday = higher prices & more oil profit (its been tried).

- No windfall tax on big oil companies to invest in raising car MPGs = more oil profit.

McCain has been bought & paid for.

He works for them.

D) When this ad says $1000 for families for gas, it implies that all families get this. This is not true, if you research this you find that it is only a small percentage of families. I don't think this is good policy either, but again that's not the point of this post.

See Below.

Both sides make misleading ads. I am not a huge supporter of either candidate and I don't know who I am going to vote for, but everyone please be cautious and take all campaign ads with a grain of salt. Don't blindly follow any candidate. Your duty to your country isn't to vote... it is to vote as an informed citizen. You are doing everyone a disservice if you don't inform yourselves of the facts and then go vote anyways.

You left-wing facist ..uuh he's from the Far Left.. Grow up name callin is what little kids do my five year old does the same thing , next your goin to call Obama a poopy head.lol

We export 70% of our domestic oil anyway. Offshore drilling will take years to have an effect at the gas pump. This is why offshore drilling won't drop gas prices.  $1000 is a nice step, but it's only a small piece of the puzzle. Wanna know another piece of the puzzle? NASCAR recommends that you check your tire pressure to make sure you don't lose gas mileage. Food 4 thought.
