McCain=Bush

[speedoo]

On MTP he is saying EXACTLY the same things re. Iraq the Coward would be saying if the Coward were on.

He is the likely rethug candidate in 2008. He must be defeated then.

1. He must have a tough time looking in the mirror ...

... he knew damn well what the BFEE did to him in the 2000 primaries, and he's also gotta know what a cheating weenie King George is .... and to swallow all that, bend over and say 'more please' ...

[speedoo]

3. I absolutely hate McCain.

He has completely rolled over and taken it up his sorry ass. Total fucking wimp.

[Strathos]

2. If he were the ONLY person running, I still wouldn't vote for him

He's a republican puppet and will go along with and say what ever they want him to.

[blm]

4. Yeah, but Kerry's on Face the Nation linking McCain further w/Bush and

doing it in a goodguy face - sounds more like he WANTS Bush and McCain permanently linked on Iraq and is baiting Bush to replace Rumsfeld WITH McCain.

That would certainly cook McCain's goose in 2008.

Kerry must believe that Bush has no intention of using any Dem withdrawal plan at this point, so is trying to at least push McCain FURTHER into the public's eye as part of the Bush team.

Tom Hayden on Huffington blog has been saying this past month that Kerry and McCain are battling it out and few have noticed the subtlety of their positionings to attack each other politically.

Could be that what we're seeing on MTP and Face the Nation is more of that battle being played out, but not obviously.

5. I can't believe how pathetic he has become.

His backbone has disappeared. Every single time timmie asked him a question, he wimped out.

If he runs this way in 2008 he is very, very beatable.

6. It scares me that some of my Dem voting friends still think McCain

is one of the "good Republicans". It's typical of people who don't pay close enough attention to what politicians are actually saying.

7. I don't think he has changed, he has always been a staunch repug.

I never understood why so many Dems liked him during the 2000 primaries.

I think it may have been because they knew what it would mean for Bush to win and McCain seemed to be a little better.

8. It is the "lesser of evils" argument and it is killing this Country.

Many Democrats are settling for the "lesser of evils" instead of sticking to Democratic values and principles.

9. He's even worse than bushco

Here's the reason. The neocons understand that raising larger ground forces to deal with the diaster in Iraq would ultimately increase American casualty counts and political opposition at home.

McCain has no such understanding. He is mentally conditioned from his bitter experience in Vietnam to believe that we didn't do enough there, that the American public lost the war at home, and that if we only took the gloves we'd have kicked their butts. In other words, he's completely delusional on military issues other than in his opposition to the use of torture.
