Even GW Bush admits this is true.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,352740,00.html
"Senator McCain's not here," Bush said of GOP nominee-in-waiting John McCain. "He probably wanted to distance himself from me a little bit."

Oh no... Now, I'm just wondering if we'll see a month long melodramatic he-said, he-said, back and forth battle in the media between Bush and McCain over this. Will MSNBC and CNN help poor dumb viewers like me figure out who's "bitter" and who is being "thrown under the bus"? And just what does it mean to "denounce" something, anyway? It's all so confusing... ;-(

FTA-In the survey, 43 percent of registered voters say they have major concerns that McCain is too closely aligned with the current administration.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gee, YA THINK?! Maybe that's because he's CHANGED his position to align himself with Bush. And yet, he actually has the NERVE to say that he really doesn't agree with the President on very many issues.

Bush's presidency has been marked by utter and complete incompetence, irresponsibility, dishonesty, cronyism, corruption, unending war, and now economic recession.
And McCain has given every indication that his presidency will effectively be a continuation of Bush's. Is it any wonder that Bush is considered a liability?

I had heard a while back that Bush considered himself to be a liability for McCain, however apparently McCain doesn't have enough sense to figure this out, declaring he will continue in Bushies footsteps. Much like his confusion on Sunnis and Shiites and who is and isn't a terrorist and who funds AlQaeda!
Bush has been a liability on everyone who has ever had contact with him, maybe he's finally realizing that, NAH!

He'd get 40% or so, which is the percentage of Americans scared to death of finding a "terrorist" under their bed...

UR high. Bush is the worst president in history. When will people wake the F up and realize that we're only seeing the beginnings of what Bush set up for America.
Not only did he make global terrorism worse, he also bankrupted us so we can't afford to fight it anymore.
We need some tribunals to get to the bottom of his dealings.

Bush a liability?! Hard to imagine!
What's even more difficult to imagine--for some, at least--is that he's been a liability since Day 1, Term Uno.
But so it was. And is. And will always be.
Amen.

The dynamics will shift when there is a clear Democratic frontrunner. Hopefully before the convention, after the primaries wrap up. Right now all three candidates are scoring about equal. Once one Dem is out, that candidate's voters will mainly line up behind the other.
McCain is skating right now. Once the Dems duke it out, his senility and similarity to Bush will be much more apparent. How much depends on which Dem emerges as the candidate.

I pray you're right but I couldn't help thinking back to the 2000 and 2004 debates between Gore and Kerry respectively against an obviously intellectually outgunned George Bush. To this day I squirm and cringe in disgust and embarrassment whenever Bush opens his mouth to speak or crack one of his lame jokes and I used to feel even worse watching him debate both Gore and Kerry and...well, anyone actually. And to see such an obvious mental midget like Bush get elected twice before the eyes of the entire world... Every time I think about it, I feel chunks rising. ;-(

...you mean die for the greed prevalent in one particular party! All the sole source unaudited contracts... all the stonewalling by the Bush DOJ to reported contractor fraud and abuse from Iraq and Afghanistan... how the Repugs can't even support a GI Bill like that our World War II soldiers got...Walter reed and Bragg soldeir facilities fiascos... so many more lies and mismanagement from Dumya and his sycophants/cronies!

Everything is a liability for McDim, his association with shrub, his flip flopping on the war, his assocation with the Keating bunch. Any of these should render him unelectable. (I hope)

There is no question any Republican would have a difficult time winning this November's election if they weren't running against a Democrat. Neither Hillary, nor Obama can really compete against McCain. This country is not going to elect a tax increaser, aomeone for partial birth abortion, someone that would cut, and run in Iraq, or a gun grabber. It just isn't going to happen. You can see what happened when Obamsa made that idiotic remark about middle America being so bitter about their lot in life they are clinging to their guns, and God. His favorables fell 9 points. He can't win against Hillary with all her baggage. No, It will be President McCain by default.

--But didn't you you make those same tired predictions prior to the Democrats taking power back from the unbelievably, dishonest, corrupt, immoral and incompetent GOP in '06? I seem to remember you did... ;-(

In 06 only 40% of the electorate voted. In a Presidential election between 58% to 61% will vote, many of them Southern white men, and blue collar workers. Plus, whatever the Democrats promised in 06 they did not deliver. They didn't even try, that makes them unelectable in 08 to a large degree.

We have a two party system and the Democrats refuse to field a grown up candidate. If they had chosen Sen Biden, Governor Righardson, both experienced, foreign traveled, but no, they are fielding the "firsts" The first woman, and the first black. Neither one of them has any credible experience. This is not the time in history to elect a person that needs training wheels. When they lose in the General they will swear it is because we don't like blacks, and Uncle Jerry can have a field day as Special Pastor preaching about how he was right about Whitey. We are at war whether Democrats can figure it out, and we are not into social experiments until next election. It is pretty bad when the 71 years old Senator is the best we have to vote for in a country of 300,000,000.

Are you actually saying that you'd have considered a vote for Biden or Richardson had they won the Democractic nomination for the presidency - in your words "a grown up candidate"?
Your second sentence begins with a conditional "if" but then trails off without ever clarifying anything.
Knowing you as a gung-ho Neo-Con supporter at every opportunity, I'd say it's highly unlikely you'd give the time of day to ANY Democrat, whatever their credentials.

Most people choose their candidates by what they stand for. I believe Sen Biden, and Governor had the countrys best interest at heart. I believe Sen Obama, and Hillary have only their interests at heart. Yes, I voted for Democrats when the party was really the Democrat party, and not some pitiful social experiment.

Ani, of course you mean experienced like George Bush, whom...now correct me if I'm wrong...YOU voted for.
A man of and for the ages. A statesman for our time. A guy of real gravitas.
Experience isn't just a matter of getting elected and showing up at the job, is it? I'm talking about the pre-presidential--I mean, "presidential"--Bush.
And yet many people voted for him, didn't they? To their everlasting shame.
One hopes.

For John McCain, Bush is not a liability. He is the Bush with a face mask. Both are hypocrites, both are liars, both swindlers and both expert con artists.
One should have gone to prison for bilking thousands of small depositors out of their life savings in 1980's. Amazing he is still walking and want to be the President.
Another should be prosecuted for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
What a combination!!!!!!!!!!
