Here McCain makes similar mistakes (see next post) in his energy ad.
1) McCain says more government spending will result in fewer jobs. How does he reach that conclusion?
2) McCain supports "renewable energy to transform our economy". What renewable energy, specifically, and how will it transform our economy? No currently available form of renewable energy is close to supplanting oil and coal as our primary sources of energy. They simply don't have the scale or the economic feasibility at this point.
3) McCain also promises to "create jobs and energy independence". Once again, how? How will you create jobs? And although I know McCain supports expanding domestic production, he doesn't actually say it here, so how is the public to know how he will pursue "energy independence", a political promise we have been hearing for 20 years with no effect.
Has the general public lost the ability to question what they hear? Why do we not demand that our candidates be specific with their plans rather than allowing them to make unchallenged promises without consequence?
