Romney says McCain wouldn't be 3rd-term Bush

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said presidential candidate John McCain has his own agenda and won't continue President Bush's policies.

"John McCain is his own man," said Romney, a former McCain rival for the Republican nomination who has been mentioned as a potential running mate.

"On economic matters, John McCain is in a very different place" than Bush, Romney said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's Political Capital with Al Hunt. "John McCain has been a frequent and vocal critic of George Bush. If you look at the conduct of the war in Iraq, John McCain was probably as outspoken a critic of the Bush administration as anyone."

Romney, 60, called McCain's health care plan "bold" and "a real reorientation" of the nation's health-care system.

"He presents some real strengths as an independent, maverick voice," Romney said.

Forward...Such a party already exists—The CP. Rev. Chuck Baldwin is a true conservative. He and The CP are being ignored by the MNM so few people know about him and that party.

McCain is a lot better on spending. He voted against the prescription drug giveaway to geezers, for example.

I don't like him much, but on controlling spending, he is much, much better than Bush.

I plan to vote for Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party for POTUS as a protest vote against both Barack Obama and John McCain! Also, Bob Barr still also works for the ACLU, and Bob Barr is a nut. Barr won’t get my vote, and I recommend that conservatives truly don’t vote for Barr.

McCain’s little cap-and-trade scam is estimated to cost $300 BILLION — PER YEAR.

His goal for granting amnesty adds billions more.

He can rail all he wants about a million of pork here and there, and I do appreciate that effort, but these other policies negate any mantle he may have held of being a “fiscal conservative.”
