McCain is trying to distance himself from prezident Bush. That's why a little fund-raiser out thar in far-off Arizona was closed to the press and other snoops. Bush was going to be present, and McCain didn't want no more photos of him and Bush to be flaunted about the Internet by upstart bloggers and other miscreants!Last Tuesday, McBush gave that absolutely horrible speech in which he tried to get one step up on Obama by attacking the presumptive Democratic nominee before he could get one foot down on the campaign trail. All he did was make a fool of himself and came off looking dumb. And old.
Think Progress reports that McCain said "'you will hear from my opponent's campaign in every speech, every interview, every press release that I'm running for President Bush's third term. You will hear every policy of the President described as the Bush-McCain policy.' He added that he believes those comparisons are 'false.'"
Please. Obama isn't going to say that McCain is running for Bush's third term in "every speech, every interview, every press release..." That's just crazy. I hope Obama says something like that in most speeches, though. Because, in spite of what McCain says, his policies are merely continuations of Bush's policies and that's why he's gotten the nickname of McBush.
Well, if you don't believe me, just listen to what Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has to say. As noted by Think Progress, Graham is "McCain's chief surrogate and attack dog...[and] on ABC's This Week, Graham stated unequivocally that McCain's tax and health care policies were not only an extension of Bush's policies bu also an 'enhancement.'"
Stephanopoulos said this: "Let me bring Senator Graham back in on this because you brought up two. You said the tax policy and the health care policy were essentially, Senator Graham, John McCain is calling for an extension or maybe enhancement of the Bush policies."
Graham answered like this: "Yeah, absolutely."
Uh oh. Old McBush screwed up again!

Who can we trust now a days? Politics has become some kind of game rather than an honest attempt to govern by all concerned. I fear the system is broken and too many of our leaders and representatives, both elected and appointed, have too much at stake to try to change it. A simple thing like voting themselves raise, excellent health care and perks, etc has become institutionalized already. We have lots to fear and few seem to even know all the things that are wrong.
