In the ad, Bensley, an Iraq war veteran, says McCain skipped a vote on the new GI Bill to attend a San Diego fundraiser.
"I used to respect you, Sen. McCain," Bensley says, "but with your seven houses and lobbyist friends, you're just a Washington guy now."
The group is spending $350,000 to air the hard-hitting ad in the swing state of Virginia, where military votes are crucial to McCain's success.
