Why would people who vote for John McCain when he is like George Bush?

I mean with 70% people think this country has gone in the wrong direction since Bush became president. Yet 40% of people are supporting McSame, I mean McCain. Am I missing something? What did Obama do?

    Frankly, I'm more afraid of McCain than I ever was of Bush. Granted, the man is an ape surrounded by bananas, but he never demonstrated this thirst for blood, this easy love of war displayed by McCain during his stirring rendition of "Bomb bomb Iran."

    But, according to my Mother, Obama "kills babies". LOL (you can't tell, but that's my helpless, embarrassed "LOL"). My point is, most people would rather "stick to their team" than see politics as a thoughtful consideration. [And, yes, I can criticize, because I have in fact voted Republican on occasion.] My point is: there are some fundamental [non]issues that will always keep Republicans as Republicans.

    And that's what keeps the rest of us awake at night...

    GW Bush stole the election as karl Rove tried to d for McCain and Romney GW replaced into appointed with the help of the superb courtroom and the voters have been denied the vote. Jeb Bush in Florida and the machines flipping the votes is a few thing real individuals won't in any respect ignore. They stole the election and decimated the financial equipment, lied for a conflict. GW replaced into not the lesser of two evils Karl Rove stole an election republicans understand they are in a position to not win rather with the wear and tear they do to the middle type u . s .

    Mccain is a republican,and so is George Bush- that's about the extent of how they are alike. Mccain is not a favorite of the Republican party, he's more like a black sheep

    It seems you have already made the assumption that the voters think he is like George Bush. I don't think many do, especially since they have disagreed on most things over the years.

    In my opinion the only thing George Bush has done 100% wrong is his molly coddling of the illegal immigrants.

    "What did Obama do?" - other than waffle about most of his political issues & lie about his relationship with Rev.Wright & that churches feelings about whites & the U.S. I don't see where he's done anything. He's a blank. He seems to want elected simply because he's black & not George Bush....sorry but that's not a good enough reason; at least McCain has some experience in a wide array of situations from being a politician, being filthy rich, being poor, to being an abused prisoner of war military serviceman.

    Beats the Living Yamster out of me - I'm just as completely McClueless on this one as you seem to be; except perhaps to say that: We STILL live in a Racist, NeoConFanatic, Military Industrial Complex, and Greedy-corporate-dominated nation.

    GREAT QUESTION, BTW!

    Even though I'm for Obama, McCain and GWB are nothing alike.

    Why did they vote for Bush, he was a loser in everything he did, bankrupt companies, almost bankrupt Texas, only finished education with daddy's money and loved to kiss fat Saudis?

    McCain was part of a major corruption scandal ( keating five), let a jungle monkey shoot his 50 million war toy down with an old sling shot, never saw any action and didn't even make it in the military into a low leading position, despite his dad being an admiral.

    WRONG question!!! the question should start at the beginning of the downfall and the miserable state your united states are in....

    That question is : why DID people vote for Bush in the first place and then then re-elect him; if he's the biggest nincompoop and worst leader to have ever been in charge of the US.

    If you people were able to be fooled twice (shame on you, him??) then i guess McCain could fool you also for a third time??

    McCain is not like Bush at all. IN fact, McCain is not a "party man" often taking positions contrary to the party. The McSame line is democratic party rhetoric, that you bought into.

    What did Obama do...nothing. Thats the point. A one term senator with no history of leadership and no voting record other than "present" does not make an effective leader.

    That should clue you into something: Bush was bad for America, and most Americans believe Obama would be even worse (yes, it is possible to do worse than GWB...).

    McCain, while similar to GWB is SOME ways, won't screw America over like all of Obama's plans will.

    Bush: 90% suckage

    McCain: 85% suckage

    Obama: 100% suckage

    Put it in graphical form with pretty colors, and that should be simple enough for most liberals to understand...

    EDIT:

    bonsai- I ****** hate you... racist... vietnam isn't our enemy anymore, no reason to insult them... they're very nice people these days. Oh, and don't be an idiot, being shot down is not something to joke about... people like you are the reason racism is such a large part of this election. If you are racist towards the Vietnamese, then you are probably only voting for Obama because of his race. Just do us all a favor and leave this country before you do us any more harm...

    (I'm not bashing him because he supports Obama, just because what he said was uncalled for)
