I don't understand why people vote for McCain even after disowning Bush so much. McCain is practically standing right next to him on a lot of issues,
although some basic ones are opposing.
Here is an article from the
Washington Pose
illustrating some of McCain's relativity with George Bush.
Once this choice was made, everything else fell into place. McCain joined the Bush crowd. He gave a powerful speech endorsing the president at last
year's Republican National Convention in New York. The address was perfect for both McCain and Bush. Unlike the speeches bashing Kerry and the
Democrats by Zell Miller, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rudy Giuliani, McCain's stuck to policy and praised Bush for his decision to go to war in
Iraq.
McCain -- who is close to the party's neoconservative wing -- has been steadfast in defending the president's decision to go to war, despite doubts
about prewar planning and mistakes early in the occupation.
