McCain is NOT Bush III, he's ...
Listening to McCain address a meeting of small business people on the radio this afternoon, I realized that he is not Bush III. Rather, he is Goldwater II. In the space of 3 minutes he proposed privatizing unemployment insurance and health insurance, and stated that the solution to the economic crisis is to lower taxes and regulation. OUCH! I suppose, given that he came of age in Goldwater's Arizona, it's not so surprising; still, it's amazing to see someone running on such a platform in this day and age.

All you really need to know is that the Republicans think that the answer to all the problems created by their disastrous policies is more of the same policies.
Americans, it would seem, do not learn well from experience.

. . . he's Bush IV, because we have to give Bush 43 II for the II terms he served . . .

Rather, he is Goldwater II.
Hillary was a Goldwater Republican in college (she campaigned for him, and was president of the Young Republicans at Wellesley!) before she became a Democrat. So her praise for McCain makes a lot of sense if he's Goldwater II.

I thought McNasty and Hill loved each other because of that night they bonded by challenging each other to vodka shots...
