McCain Camp's Response to Obama's Ad "Backyard"

Please see our campaign's response to Senator Barack Obama's new negative attack ad in Nevada. In his latest ad, Barack Obama attacks John McCain's support of the Yucca Mountain project which Senator Obama also voted to support:

“Apparently Barack Obama  is also taking a vacation from the facts, ignoring his own votes in support of the Yucca Mountain project.  Either Barack Obama is too inexperienced to understand that his votes on the floor of the United States Senate are recorded for Americans to review, or he's simply showing incredible hypocrisy.”  ---Tucker Bounds, spokesman John McCain 2008

In 2005, Barack Obama Voted Twice To Fund The Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository. “Passage of the bill that would provide $31.2 billion in fiscal 2006 for energy and water development projects, including $5.3 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers and $25 billion for the Energy Department. It also would provide $577 million for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository.” (H.R. 2419, CQ Vote #172: Passed 92-3: R 50-3; D 41-0; I 1-0, 7/1/05, Obama Voted Yea; H.R. 2419, CQ Vote #321: Adopted 84-4: R 48-2; D 35-2; I 1-0, 11/14/05, Obama Voted Yea)
