A key point from each page...


Says we're better off now then eight years ago
Voted to allow privatization and outsourcing of government jobs
His health care proposal would tax our health care benefits
Voted for NAFTA
Voted to block the Employee Free Choice Act
Voted to "raid" Social Security funds
Voted with Bush 89% of the time since 2000 and 95% since 2007.
McCain is a good Bush Republican and if you support Bush now you should also support McCain in the 2008 General Election. Don't buy into the message he's trying to promote that he's somehow different or a "Maverick".

Good for the AFLCIO! McCain had some maverick qualities (for a republican) but he swallowed all of that to get where he is today. But even then, his so-called maverick qualities were more a product of him being a nasty guy with a bad temper.

This could be a fun summer and fall. It's going to to warm my heart to see the big unions getting behind Obama.

I wonder if the powers of the Repulican machine realized that perhaps they will probably loose this race for President so lets finally give McCain a chance for the big prize though he'll never get it.

Senator Graham: McCain's Policies Would "Absolutely" Be An Extension Of Bush's

Senator John McCain has aggressively tried to distance himself from Bush in an effort to avoid being tagged by Democrats as running for Bush's third term. However, as Think Progress notes, McCain's chief surrogate, Senator Lindsey Graham, did not adhere to that message during his appearance on ABC's This Week, with George Stephanopoulos.

Stephanopoulos asked Sen. Graham if McCain's tax and healthcare policies are essentially "an extension or maybe an enhancement of the Bush policies." Sen. Graham answered, "Yeah, absolutely."

I had the same thought. It reminds me of when they let Dole run. And not just because he's another old guy who is past his prime.
