Americans Say McCain Would be Bush III

clipped from thinkprogress.org But Americans aren’t buying the spin. According to a new New York Times poll, “Mr. McCain is yoked to the legacy of President Bush.” Indeed, a majority of Americans believe that as President, McCain “would continue Mr. Bush’s policies in Iraq and on the economy”: - 78 percent: McCain would continue Bush’s Iraq policies - 61 percent: McCain would continue Bush’s economic policies - 65 percent: McCain would not bring change to Washington Indeed, as ThinkProgress has noted, McCain represents a third term of his buddy Bush on issue after issue. According to a CQ analysis of Senate votes on issues President Bush expressed “an explicit, stated opinion,” McCain voted with President Bush 100 percent of the time in 2008 and 95 percent of the time in 2007. In April, during an appearance on Mike Gallagher’s show, McCain bragged that “no one has supported President Bush on Iraq more than I have.” The American people agree.

People aren't as dumb as Baghdad Johnny had hoped. Clear majorities believe he's a Bush clone. And a very clear majority agree that Bush sucks.

I keep saying that Obama should run against Bush and here's McCain making it easy.
