McCain: "I'm Not Running On The Bush Presidency"

AFP :

John McCain on Tuesday struck away from the political legacy of President George W. Bush, as he sought to plot an obstacle-strewn course back to the White House for Republicans.

The party's presidential pick also mused on the lessons of his rebellious youth, as he sought to frame his life story as a history of self sacrifice and military service, the culmination of which would be the presidency.

"The point is, I'm not running on the Bush presidency, I'm running on my own service to the country, my own record in the House of Representatives and the United States Senate and my vision for the future," McCain told ABC televisio

""The point is, I'm not running on the Bush presidency,"

In a pig's eye!

" I'm running on my own service to the country, my own record in the House of Representatives and the United States Senate and my vision for the future,""

Charles Keating, your pandering to lobbyists, and where's your girlfriend Vicky these days?

Ah, but he doesn't have to pander to the lobbyists anymore - they're all on his campaign staff. Real close and personal.

"I'm not running on the Bush presidency, see....

......beca­use Bush was just too of a Mr. Nice Guy who always stopped short on everything, and refused to respond with overwhelmingly explosive, irrational foaming at the mouth anger to any one who disagreed with him. "

Why can't the evangelicals see he's called Mc "CAIN"!!!

(for all you heatherns, that's Genesis 4 and following; you know, CAIN who slew his brother ABEL; McCain means "Son of Cain")

Apparently McCain FINALLY noticed that the Bush legacy is not a good one to run on, after he was booed at the Nationals' ball game yesterday.

If you think that the Iraq was is the most important thing for the United States, if it is worth thousands of American lives, if it is worth untold billions of dollars, than vote for McCain.

If you think there are more important things for the United States to focus on over the next ten years, vote for the Democrat.

McCain cannot simultaneously run on and against the Bush record.

Not only is JW McBomb the best and brightest of the GOP,

who will they fill their cabinet with. All their big name folk

are cut and running from the party, hoping to avoid the

likelihood of prosecution for all their GOP corruptions.


The Democrats however, have many respected and

very talented prospects to fill out an effective team to

lead US out of these dark years of neocon failures.

I have the 7 top spots selected for Obama's cabinet.

We know you don't like Bushy but maybe you need to get of of the CFR to convince us. I heard from and insider though that you and Bushy hate each other so at least your not working as close to him as the Clintons

g-mac's campaign plan to win the white house: say "my friends" a lot.... my friends.

[standforpeace]

Yes you are. Sorry but thems the rules. And come the general election, we will make sure that everyone understands that a vote for McCain is a vote for 4 more years.

If it acts like a Bush, talks like a Bush, has policies like a Bush, loves war like a Bush, lies like a Bush, has a temper like a Bush, is a corporatist like a Bush, then it's a Bush.

Al Gore didn't run on the Clinton Presidency.

Poetic, isn't it?

[HopeandChange]

And G.W. Bush didn't run on the Reagan presidency.

[situationcritical]

Wrong. He very much did.

The wide picture at the top of this article of redundant images of both Bush and McCain, side by side, reminds me of anthropological drawings of man's early advance through time from the Neanderthal on up to the Cromagnon period. Then the picture mysteriously stops. LOL
