McCain's Strategy to Distance Himself From President Bush

Mcain
He has good ideas. I just cannot stand how people NEVER FOCUS on what good Bush has done. Read some polls, More soldiers have died under Bill Clinton's rule in government. I agree with the idea that people ILLEGALLY traveling into the United States needs to be prosecuted. Guess what? No ones perfect and some times i dont always agree with him but if you say hes retarded...who voted for him.
Not me, im STILL too young.
Im saying all of this and yes, i live in MI
oh dang
McCain certainly not Bush
My first choice in 2000 was not McCain, however, I have always wished him well. Personally I like choosing from the governers stable and not from the Senate.
With that said; the talk of McCain being another Bush is pure political theater. It's a bumper sticker that will stick to the rumps of many opposed to McCain.
Tax cuts, Rumsfeld, tactics of torture, global warming, Gitmo, judicial nominations, troops levels in Iraq and parts of immigration reform. On all these positions McCain has held polar opposite positions. Also consider that the hard Right still like Bush. Yet the same hard Right people remain largely upset with McCain as the nominee as not conservative enough.
It's a good tactic on the part of democrats to attempt to meld McCain with the very unpopular Bush. Yet it's a political stunt. Albeit a good one to use against McCain.
McCain Katrina
Really?
I think Mr. McCain is trying to 'eat his cake and have it too'.
What was McCain doing the day after Katrina? He was eating his birthday cake with President Bush! Look it up. I'm so glad the president took time out of his busy day to land air force one, and share in Mr. McCain's birthday celebration. Barf!
immigration
What is your stand on immigration? Bush wants to give them the run of the country. Do you think they need to go back and return legally?
