Two New McCain Ads
By Charles Lemos on October 2, 2008 at 7:10 AM in Joe Biden, John McCain
The above ad is a 30 second spot featuring Senator McCain addressing the political crisis in Washington. The ad below is a Spanish-language ad. It is also a 30 second spot. The ad hits Obama over immigration reform and Biden over his comments that Mexico is “dysfunctional society”. Biden’s comments on Mexico are from December 2, 2007.
Joe Biden shared his views on illegal immigration with an Iowa crowd, saying that the solution starts with big changes in the Mexican economy.
“They’re being irresponsible. This is the second-wealthiest nation in the hemisphere – we’re not talking about Sierra Leone,” the Democratic presidential candidate said. “This is a dysfunctional society.”
Actually Joe, Mexico is the fourth wealthiest nation in the hemisphere as measured by total GDP. You’re forgetting Canada and Brazil both of which are larger economies and wealthier on a per capita basis. And if measured on a per capita basis, then Mexico also ranks below Bermuda, Costa Rica, Chile, Barbados, Aruba, Argentina, Uruguay, Puerto Rico, the Nederland Antilles, the Bahamas and the Falklands. Ah, Joe, so close and yet so far.
