McBush Inc.

Angry old war monger John McCain is having a very hard time distancing himself from the most unpopular president in at least 70 years. Perhaps this is because McCain has shackled himself to Bush's economic, foreign and social policies:

"Bush's tax cuts, which McCain initially opposed, are a foundation of his economic agenda. And though McCain was harshly critical of the administration's initial handling of the Iraq war, he has not hinted at any major disagreement on the current strategy. He has also had to tend to his Republican base -- and one of the ways he has done that is by praising Bush's appointees to the Supreme Court, John G. Roberts Jr. and Samuel A. Alito Jr."
Despite whatever image he is trying to craft, the fact remains that President McCain really would be a third Bush term-- not to mention a complete disaster.
