Maybe you have, too.
We've all heard his dramatic speeches before devoted followers.
And there is much to like and admire about our opponent.
But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two
memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate.

This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never
use the word "victory" except when he's talking about his own campaign.

But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed ... when the roar of the crowd fades away ...
when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some
studio lot - what exactly is our opponent's plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish,
after he's done turning back the waters and healing the planet?

from Washington ... and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world.
America needs more energy ... our opponent is against producing it.
Victory in Iraq is finally in sight ... he wants to forfeit.

Al Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America ... he's worried
that someone won't read them their rights?
that someone won't read them their rights?
Government is too big ... he wants to grow it.
Congress spends too much ... he promises more.
Taxes are too high ... he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his
economic plan, and let me be specific.
The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes ... raise payroll
taxes ... raise investment income taxes ... raise the death tax ... raise business taxes ...

How are they going to be any better off if taxes go up? Or maybe you're trying to keep your
job at a plant in Michigan or Ohio ... or create jobs with clean coal from Pennsylvania or

How are you going to be better off if our opponent adds a massive tax burden to the American

In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers.
And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.

They're the ones whose names appear on laws and landmark reforms, not just on buttons and

chairmen in Congress have fought the prospect of a McCain presidency - from the primary
election of 2000 to this very day.
Our nominee doesn't run with the Washington herd.
He's a man who's there to serve his country, and not just his party.
A leader who's not looking for a fight, but is not afraid of one either.
