Is Our Choice Bush-McCain or Obama/Biden-Reid/Pelosi?
A Few Days With Figgins ^ | Monday, September 8, 2008 | Gary Wiram

“Bush-McCain!” … the Democrat’s one consistent mantra, since John McCain became the Republican’s apparent nominee for the 2008 presidential race. Although McCain is obviously his own man and his presidency would be significantly different from that of President Bush, you can understand why they want McCain to be saddled with Bush’s unpopularity … currently ranging from 25% to 33%.

Since, according to the National Journal, Barack Obama (D) has the Senate’s most liberal voting record and Joe Biden (D) has the Senate’s 3rd most liberal voting record, isn’t it more appropriate to link Obama/Biden with the current liberal (D) congressional leadership … Reid/Pelosi? In 2006, the Democrats became the majority party in both houses of Congress, establishing the Reid/Pelosi administration. The Democrat’s winning campaign strategy was summed up, at that time, by the new Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, when he said, “The days of the do-nothing Congress are over,” adding that Americans spoke “clearly and decisively in favor of Democrats leading this country in a new direction.” Considering that the current unpopularity of Congress ranges from 14% to 18%, it appears that the “new direction” Reid/Pelosi had in mind was a level of “do-nothing” where no man has gone before. Now, aside from “Bush-McCain!”, the central Obama/Biden theme has been “Change!” It boggles the mind to consider the depths of “New Direction”/“Change” an Obama/Biden-Reid/Pelosi term will mean.

The answer is Sara Palin.

It does not matter what the question is.

Dumbass Lbama® seems stuck on running against George Bush. There's blood in the water, his blood ... and all he can say is "Senator McCain voted with George Bush 90% of the time".

It's unbelievable to me that he thinks he can convince anyone who can fog a mirror that McCain is President Bush's lapdog ...

What an complete, freakin' idiot.

And I believe the 0Bama voted 90% of the time with his Senate Leader Dingy Harry during his 147 day stint in the Senate.

Obama himself probably voted with Bush 90 percent of the time ... when he showed up to vote.
