Post-convention, the GOP is telling Americans: Don’t believe the hype, Obama’s not ready. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s the same GOP that selected George W. Bush, twice! This is the party that turned it’s collective back on a major American city as it drowned; embraces torture and ignores the Constitution; turns a blind eye to science and innovation; created the largest deficit in our nation’s history; diminished our diplomatic standing throughout the world. The GOP is the party that actively threatens the very security of our country by embracing economic policies that do nothing but weaken our country.Does the GOP have any credibility in picking a potential President? The answer is simple: George W. Bush. When Bill Clinton first ran for President, one of his slogans was “It’s the economy, stupid!” One of Obama’s slogans might be “It’s George W. Bush, stupid!” (Only I know he’s too classy to use it)
McBush is quite a clever catch phrase but far it’s from the truth. The liberal machine is rolling forward against McCain and the Republicans in ‘08 so it’s a no-brainer to use Bush against them. The anthem for Bush in 2004 was “four more years!” The last thing that the left wants is “four more” of the Republican Party. The only problem with labeling McCain another Bush is that he is nothing like Bush. They might want to try another angle because this one is going to fall flat on it’s face.
In McCain’s effort to lean a little more towards the right the illusion of another Bush is bound to be painted. When it comes to party lines McCain is not afraid to forget where they begin and where the end. The criticism from conservatives in the Republican Party is because of McCain’s disregard for party loyalty. The result of his party meddling is that the Republican base is weary of what he might do in office. Bush is as party loyal as it gets. The fact that Bush is as conservative as McCain doesn’t exactly mean they are they same person politically.
When it comes to staple Republican issues such as abortion it’s hard to find a difference between McCain and Bush. Energy is one of the party crossing issues that McCain has taken on as his own. Global Warming is not a term you are likely to hear from most Republicans. This is one of those issues that puts McCain to the left of the pack. McCain’s willingness to compromise with the Democrats is what makes him an independent darling. Comparing McCain to Bush is convenient for those on the left but that doesn’t necessarily make it fact.
