Texaco spent a bundle on this ad. Its purpose? Attack Scoop Jackson. And Mobil paid plenty for this one to run. Its purpose? Attack Scoop Jackson. Why do the big oil companies have it in for Scoop Jackson? Because I led the fight to put a limit on their obscene profits. And they haven't forgiven me. Well, sometimes you can tell a lot about a man when you get a look at his enemies. Let's have a president who does something. Elect Senator Scoop Jackson while there's still time to save the 70s.
