McCain Campaign Releases New Ad Highlighting the Importance of Continuity

ARLINGTON, VA – Today, McCain-Palin 2008 released its latest TV ad, entitled "Continuity". The ad highlights a McCain administration's dedication to continuing the policies of the last eight years. The ad addresses the concerns of many Americans in this time of transition. The ad will air in key states.

Script for "Continuity" (TV 2:00)

Does George W. Bush's inevitable departure leave you feeling sad?

Lonely?

Depressed?

Don't worry, it's completely natural.

The departure of a great American President inevitably leads to a lot of deep, conflicted feelings.

And it leads to questions…

Questions like, why is everyone calling for change? Everything is going just great.

Why can't we just keep things exactly the same as they are today?

Well, guess what. Now you can.

With John McCain and Sarah Palin you'll get a new Republican administration whose policies will be completely indistinguishable from the current one.

That's right, with John McCain and Sarah Palin you'll get more of the stuff that you have grown to love from the bush administration:

THE SAME economic policies.

THE SAME trade policies.

THE SAME foreign policy blunders.

And THE SAME carefree regulatory policies that led to the financial crisis.

ACT NOW and you can renew your subscription to the failed policies of the Bush administration for the low, low price of just one vote for John McCain.

The days until the election are going fast! To renew your subscription call 1-555-THE-SAME. That's 1-555-THE-SAME.

Operators are standing by.

But wait! There's more. For the next two hundred voters, we have a very special prize.

Our next 200 McCain voters will receive… a wholesale continuation of the corrupt Washington culture dominated by lobbyists.

The very same lobbyists running John McCain's campaign!

There is no time to wait. Operators are standing by!

Call 1-555-THE-SAME to renew your subscription to the failed economic policies of the Bush administration because when you must have more of the same – you need John McCain.

This is a parody paid for by the Ohio Democratic Party.
