Summary: MoveOn claims Dole and McCain have taken large donations from oil companies, showing their lack of commitment to solving the energy crisis.
Script of "Pocket" (TV)
ANNOUNCER [v/o]: We could have provided clean energy for more than a million homes.
Or created thousands of new jobs. Or reduced our dependence on foreign oil.
Instead, John McCain and Elizabeth Dole allowed big oil companies to keep $13.5 billion dollars in tax breaks while taking huge contributions from them.
(Text on screen: Contributions from big oil; McCain: $1.3 million, Dole: $266,000)
John McCain and Elizabeth Dole: Two more Republicans in the pocket of Big Oil.
