8. The advertisement is clearly made to put down McCain's run for presidency. The video displays many quotes from various interviews that McCain has participated in. By displaying such negative remarks, it makes McCain look really bad to the audience. It repeatedly lists quotes and facts about McCain and his staff to make them appear unknowledgeable of what’s needed in the USA. Most facts and quotes are true, after doing a bit of research. Each quote or fact mentioned in the video ad has a little source stated at the bottem left of each statement. After looking into each source and viewing the evidence myself, the ones that are found true (or found in various quoted interviews) are mostly assumptions and opinions that citizens have. Although, McCain has been caught being hypocritical, it does not mean he is doing everything that advertisers and campaigns portray him to be doing. The advertisement just uses some parts of McCain's interviews to make him appear bad. //**On the ABC Website:**// //ABC News' Lisa Chinn and Jennifer Parker report: Republican ticket mates John McCain and Sarah Palin Monday blasted corporate executives who leave their company with a "golden parachute" and pledged to "stop multimillion dollar payouts" to CEOs, seeming to forget their own top economic adviser Carly Fiorina walked away with $45 million, including a $21.4 million severance package when she was dismissed by Hewlett Packard in 2005// (source: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/09/mccain-economic.html)
