Public Opinion: How Different Would a McCain Presidency Be From Bush-Cheney?
McCain appears to be distancing himself from the incumbents. Is it plausible, or would he be the same?
Sen. John McCain says in a new television ad that "we're worse off than we were four years ago." Vice President Dick Cheney might not appear at the GOP convention in Minneapolis. Both seem to be signs that McCain is trying to create political separation between himself and the Bush-Cheney administration, to which Sen. Barack Obama is trying to tie him closely. How much of a change from Bush-Cheney would a McCain presidency be? Post your thoughts below.

Bush/Cheney= McCain/Bush policies
McCain has agreed with all of the Bush policies since the very beginning. Although, I must admit he does flip-flop from one moment to another. But my belief is he will continue with the disastrous Bush policies, especially since he is surrounding himself with former Bush people. Look who he has advising him. He may say the are no longer involved, such as, Foreclosure Phil Gramm. But Charles Black is still around amongst others. I pray and hope voters will not vote McClone in as our situation is a complete disaster as it is. The Republicans say Obama has no experience or knowledge of Washington D.C. well, perhaps that is for the best. He hasn't learn the dirty tricks or how to game the system as McCain and the other older politicians have learned after many years. We already know what the Republican can't do--lead the country, and frankly, Obama certainly won't do any worse than Bush.
McCain- v.s - BushCheney
No change in policy or the condition of the nation. Both parties are immunized from popular opinion or the realities of global economics run by offshore oligarchs.
The oil money, East and West, promotes religious extremism on both sides. War and genocide are the result of arming gangs and warlords. The money and blood wasted for economic influence of a few has not awakened any population from its stupor.
Cynicism and corruption are the equal playing field.
War isn't hell. Its profit.
