Ad: Summer of Love No Hippie Fest For McCain

July
8

John McCain released this new television ad today that reminds everyone that during the Summer of Love, McCain was a POW by the North Vietnamese—beating back recent criticism from Gen. Wesley Clark about McCain’s service.

Here’s the script and the ad, which will be broadcast on national cable stations.

It was a time of uncertainty, hope and change. The “Summer Of Love.”
Half a world away, another kind of love—of country.
John McCain: Shot down. Bayoneted. Tortured.
Offered early release, he said, “No.” He’d sworn an oath.
Home, he turned to public service.
His philosophy: before party, polls and self … America.
A maverick, John McCain tackled campaign reform, military reform, spending reform.
He took on presidents, partisans and popular opinion.
He believes our world is dangerous, our economy in shambles.
John McCain doesn’t always tell us what we “hope” to hear.
Beautiful words cannot make our lives better.
But a man who has always put his country and her people before self, before politics can.
Don’t “hope” for a better life. Vote for one.
McCain.
I’m John McCain and I approved this message.

    Right now this is the “Summer of free Hugs” as Democrats court Independents, Republicans and Hillary Clinton before the Olympics. The Olympics are our second love so to speak this summer! For all Americans We are also starting a Happiness Factory too to bring a smile to all Americans reading this post. The 2008 Summer of “Free Hugs” vs the John McCain’s 1968 “Summer of Love”.

    Barack Obama ‘08
