Why do people act like McCain is Bush when Obama is a senator under Bush too?

He has spent so little time in the Senate, we don't know what his voting record would be like if he was in Washington for 22 years!

    It appears that Obama is trying to act just like Bush. Obama stated that he (the military) would attack Pakistan.

    Bush says things like "attack"and he is the devil, but if Obama says it, he everyone is cool with that.

    Because whatever the time in office, McCain voted with Bush at least 90% of the time and Obama did not.

    Probably because McCain has given up his "maverick" status. He says he voted with Bush 90% of the time!

    It's an issue of ideology and not years of experience and McCain shares Bush's ideology...I am not looking for that in our next president, it's jsut that simple!

    Correct! Of course there will be fools that quote factcheck.org carefully massaged numbers and say McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time. THAT IS A TOTAL LIE - CHECK THE REAL FACTS. Obama has a similiar "Bush policy" voting record despite being a dem and agrees with most of his policies. Just goes to show the dems need to lie.

    You are right. McCain is not Bush - he is much worse.
