Too many policy specifics.

"Ready on day one" We won't tell you HOW he's ready, just don't ask questions, and accept it.

Noah Daniels did the voiceover?

Richard Pye: Noah Daniels did the voiceover?

I thought it was either James Earl Jones doing an impression of Charlton Heston or Charlton Heston doing his best James Earl Jones impersonation.

Not bad. I'll vote McCain if Clinton gets the Dem nod. Of course, with his age, that depends entirely on who he picks as Veep.

Richard Pye: Noah Daniels did the voiceover?

It sure sounded like him.

President McBain????

What happens if Mendoza finds out?

At least I've got my boat, The Life Forever and my retirement tomorrow to look forward to...

I loved the Nazi salute at the end.

/godwin

WAR! Walking the walk.

Well at least he woke up from his 2 month nap.

That is indeed Powers Boothe narrating.

mediaho
Not bad. I'll vote McCain

NO! BAD! *swats mediaho with a rolled-up newspaper*

EwoksSuck: The Real McCain

You would link us to Limey YouTube, wouldn't you?

I'm Cy Tolliver, and I support that c**ks**ker McCain. He's good for f****n' Deadwood, and he's good for the f*****n' country.

bah. I submitted this with the much more descriptive headline:

"America America America America America America America America America America America America America America America America America America America America America America America America America America. McCain 08"

Replay the ad and drink every time you hear the word America.

Political commercials are meant to sway undecided voters...

Undecided voters are the biggest idiots in the world...

Ergo, political commercials are designed for idiots.

So basically, "America! fark yeah! McCain, '08".

a better mccain commercial (new window)

C

mccain's weakness is that he's the continuity candidate. his only chance at all is to somehow out-obama obama. be a unifying force. really truly. i really really don't think the jingoism is going to work fro the republicans this time.

"you're great, and i am great"

goodbomb

the terrorists would have to fly a giant penis directly into all of our skyscrapers.

AMERICA! FARK YEAH!

I'm an old,white,hawkish,lobbyist-laden wingnut-fellating flip-flopping Republican. Just the change you're looking for.
I'm such a Maverick I'm breaking my own campaign finance laws!!
Good thing Dubyah has rendered the FEC inoperative.

Now how bout a chorus of Bomb Bomb Iran!!

Oh Bomb Iran
Just cause I can
Bomb Iran
I'm a crazy old man
I should be in a rocker
my granddaughter's got big knockers
Bomb Iran.

Hideously Gigantic Smurf: Undecided voters are the biggest idiots in the world...

I wouldn't go that far. I mean I'm decided but in this election, where no one really blows anyone's skirts up, I can see people still trying to decide which one sucks the least.

One thing's for sure though. If Bush has less than 30% approval rating and there's nothing to indicate that McCain would be anything but more of the same, I can't see how McCain has a chance unless people are complete imbecil-- nevermind.

Power don't come from a badge or a gun. Power comes from lying. Lying big, and gettin' the whole damn world to play along with you. Once you got everybody agreeing with what they know in their hearts ain't true, you've got e'm by the balls.

/don't watch 24
//just know him as cy toliver/sen. roark
///jesus he looks different without a mustache

He'll be reprising the role of Sen. Roark in the sequel due out this year.

Does he dance like that old man in the six flags commercial? That would be cool.

If that's true, then these informed voters will definitely be helped by this highly informative advertisement for McCain. Surely they wouldn't plan to spend millions over the next few months pandering to the minority/idiot undecided voters...

/sarcasm

Wonder if anyone will rerun Republican ads that "Swiftboated" McCain's military service from the 2000 primaries? Seems fair, balanced.

who?

I am disappointed they pushed McCain's POW status and not much else except vague text about middle class tax relief in this first commercial.

/Will NOT vote Republican this year.
//I'll take Hillary or Obama over the pathetic Republican status quo.

/Will NOT vote Republican this year.
//I'll take Hillary or Obama over the pathetic Republican status quo

I am with you there. I vote Republican in the primary(and have McCain2000 to blame for that). I was hoping against hope he would change his tone from the same old 8 years of rubish.

Heh, you could probably take that same transcript and slap an Obama '08 message at the end. The ad was big on idealism, and not much else.

McCain: Ready to be put on a hospital bed on Day One.


/GObama '08

DavIng: McCain: Ready to be put on a hospital bed on Day One.

I thought the same thing. It doesn't help that the footage is super grainy. The only way it could make him seem older is if they were fast talking in high-waisted pants.

Just don't forget my staunchly Republican 92-year-old grandmother is voting Democrat this year because McCain is (drum roll please) TOO OLD.

When a lady that old thinks a candidate is TOO OLD, he probably is, because nearly everyone is younger than she is. She's also not voting for Hillary because (drum roll please) she DOESN'T TRUST HER.

I'm listening to the old ladies this year.

spiderpaz: Please do not give this add any hits!

Yes. That will show them.

Anyone else think that gymnasium with 50 people in that video didn't quite warrant the sound effect attributed to it?

Mr. Xhin: Ready on day one...because it's just going to be a continuation of the Bush/Cheney debacle.

huuuurrrrrrrr

You're talking about Obama right?

Wasn't trying to qualify.

-10 for unwarranted ratio drop.

I'm old, and that's funny.
