Hmmm…actually, when I heard McCain's staccato delivery in the ad, I was reminded not of the Bush era but of a classic speech of American liberalism. Compare the two:

“Keep that faith. Keep your courage. Stick together. Stay strong. Do not yield. Stand up. We’re Americans. And we’ll never surrender.” — McCain

“the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.” — Ted Kennedy 1980

Kennedy's is better of course. But the rhetorical pattern is strikingly similar.

The main difference lies in the militaristic tone of the former, and the social uplift tone of the latter.
