Bush: McCain ‘Is Not Going To Change’ My Foreign Policy
Bush: McCain ‘Is Not Going To Change’ My Foreign Policy
At the White House today, President Bush threw his support behind Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). In a press conference after a private lunch, a reporter asked the duo how McCain would “make the case that you’re going to provide the change that the voters seem to want.”
Bush quickly cut in, declaring that McCain is “not going to change”:
BUSH: And the good news about our candidate there will be a new president, a man of character and courage, but he’s not going to change when it comes to taking on the enemy. He understands this is a dangerous world.
Following up on the press conference, Rich Lowry of the National Review said on Fox News that Bush is framing McCain as embracing his old platforms, “someone determined absolutely to take on our enemy and someone with a big heart who cares for those who hurt.” Lowry said McCain was shaping up to be Bush’s “successor”:
Who does that sound like? A ‘compassionate conservative’ who wants to take on our enemies. It sounds like George W. Bush. … That’s obviously the way he views John McCain, as a successor to himself.
Watch it:
As a “compassionate conservative” who wants to stay in Iraq indefinitely, McCain is officially pursuing the “third Bush term.”

March 5th, 2008 at 2:24 pmWatching the footage, McCain didn’t even attempt to answer the question. It was asked to both but, like a faithful dog, McCain sat back while his master spoke.

March 5th, 2008 at 2:27 pmFrank wrongly thinks the republicans are focused on “Terror”. They haven’t so much made a peep about OBL recently. I seem to remember a vow to get the one suspected to be the mastermind behind 9/11.
Everyday that passes Bush’s vow is sounding more like OJ Simpson’s vow to find the real killers.
Hot air of the republicans is being deflated by cold hard facts. Fear alone will not get the GOP into the White House again. Once bitten, twice shy.

Sure Frank, MORE TERRORISM!!!
Fundamentally, there is no difference between shock and awe and 9/11.
Hell,
America has delivered multiple 9/11’s upon the Iraqis.
Can you say fallujah?
abu ghraib was not an act of terror?
Gitmo and our human trafficking of hundreds of innocent Iraqis?
Oh, BTW Frank,
What DID Iraq do to deserve our wrath, our reign of terror?
It is not a war on terrorism when we partake in terrorism ourselves. It then becomes a war OF terrorism. What then do you become when you begin to act like that which you seek to destroy?
.
March 5th, 2008 at 2:37 pmWhat’s Bush’s current approval rating? 19%?
Continuing Bush’s policies should work out really well for McLame.
March 5th, 2008 at 2:39 pm‘Bush quickly cut in, declaring that McCain is “not going to changeâ€:’
I sure wish someone had then directly asked McCain, “And how would YOU answer that question?”
The impression you get from that clip is that McCain will be a good little repug and do whatever he’s told.
March 5th, 2008 at 2:42 pmI was speaking with PROGRESSIVES here in Seattle last night, and they were not AWARE that McCain sang: “Bomb Bomb Iran”.
We need to let our fellow progressives, and OTHERS, know what this azshole sang…

I need some clarificacions about your posts:
1) Frank M. has friends?
2) if 1) is true (I doubt it), it’s possible that his friends “not-so-bright”? Not so bright… as him? I find this aseveration biologically difficult to believe.
3) I doubt Frank M. can’t be “embarrassed”. it is a superior cognitive function.
March 5th, 2008 at 2:43 pmBush and McCain sound like they know the date, place and time of the next terror attack on the US and are just biding their time.

If McCain had any you-know-whatskis he could very well have laughingly jumped in and said something like, “Okay, now my turn to answer!”.
I mean, if it’s all about who is brave enough (to face our enemies or whatever), it would have been refreshing to see him assert himself a tiny bit. But, instead, he let Bush tell the reporters what his (McCain’s) approach will be!
You hear that McCain? Bush had declared that you are “not going to change”! You will comply!

March 5th, 2008 at 3:00 pmwell said mary. Bush has defined McCain without any help from the evil MainStreamMedia.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:03 pmMcSame/McBush - now we know that they’re both the same. Enough evidence even for the Repturds to vote Democrat in November unless they want to kiss their wealth good-bye forever. As this country descends further into fascism, personal property will become a thing of the past. Each of our other rights have eroded or been destroyed under Bush so that may be the last nail in the coffin of the US - another 4 years of failed domestic and foreign policy. And, I might add, having to put up with a drooling idiot who when they speak publicly embarass americans into the next century.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:06 pmI hope Bush and McCain keep talking. Easily the democratic candidate’s best strategy.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:06 pmAnyone else hear about how the Repturds in states which permit them to vote outside the party lines all decided to vote for Hillary? So these sorry 23%ers actually held their nose and voted for a democrat out of sheer fear of Obama. That should tell us plenty about the lengths they will go so at least have a chance of saving their asses.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:08 pmtranslation:
Bush: hey i lied to get into the whitehouse too and made empty promises too….but McCain has been read the riot act this afternoon and he’ll do exactly what Wolfowitz tells him
never in my wildest dreams did i think i would ever see a day like today.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:09 pm#57 - that’s right. We know Bush has an active case of Hoof ‘n Mouth disease every time he opens his mouth and crucifies the english language. We also now know that, without a teleprompter making McWarMonger’s eyes move from left to right, he’s sunk and hasn’t a single impromptu thought in his tortured brain.

It all depends on purpose. If the parody is intended to be amusing, yes, it’s a complete bust. If it’s just intended to stir the sh!t from time to time, I’d say he succeeds on a regular basis. I say that as one who has responded more than once.
But, really, Putin?
March 5th, 2008 at 3:10 pmIsn’t it amazing how Bush biotch-slapped McCrazy in 2000 for precisely the same things which have recently been outed with the lobbyist corruption? Now since Bush believes that he’s gotten away with all of the lying (wrong!) he’s honoring McCrazy for being as big a liar as he is. Utterly amazing hypocrisy.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:11 pmAll that remains for Rove to do now is to tell Diebold how to spell McCain, with two Cs or three.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:11 pmWhere is Miss Vicki Iseman these days? One of the talking heads in washington alluded to a $20,000 “payoff” by the RNC so she’d take a nice little vacation until after the election. Wonder where Miss Vicki’s gone? I think it’s time for the media to include Miss Vicki (Where’s Vicky”) in their 3-ring circus.

‘an interesting report from a reader in Dallas:
On the local conservative radio stations, many Republicans are calling and complaining about feeling “disenfranchisedâ€.
Apparently, they didn’t realize that by implementing Rush Limbaugh’s strategy of voting for Hillary in the Primaries to prolong the Democrats fist-fight, they would not be allowed to vote for any of the Republicans on the rest of the ballot.’

Somehow I don’t think a dinghy is capable of carrying a 10-ton anchor - the maximum weight capacity of an 11-foot dinghy is only 845 pounds so I think maintaining bouyancy while carrying a 20,000 pound load would be a significant problem and an almost certain violation of Coast Guard regulations.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:18 pmosiris -
Yes, Rush Limpballs was telling the rethugs to vote for Hillary so as to bring out the base (Clinton Haters) in November and to make sure the battle between Hill and Obama keeps going. Hillary is pulling repukian rovian tactics on Obama and the repukes what those sound bites to use against Obama should he win the nomination.
So I guess that makes Hillary a Republican.

“Well, we need someone who will keep us on the offensive in the war on terror.”
– WHAT war on terror? Oh — you mean the manufactured PR ploy that enabled Bush to invade Iraq? Your “war on terror” is about as real as the manufactured cold war against Canada in the movie “Canadian Bacon”. While a certain amount of security here at home is prudent, any leader who will “keep us on the offensive” in a travesty is a bad idea — as Bushco has already proven.
“Democrats can’t do that.”
– Sure they can. It’s just that they WON’T. That is, if we elect the right ones.
“Heck. Instead of taking advantage of the political climate, they’re waging civil war over their candidate.”
– No, we have two viable candidates still in the race. There is no “civil war” here — just the MSM trying to hype one up.
“Should there be a dem president and congress, they’d continue bickering…”
– I’m sure there will be some disagreements on some issues, but it’s that filter that generally allows the good ideas through and traps the BS ideas where they belong. A Democratic President and a Democratic Congress CAN work together and have proved that in the past. This is far better than having a Congress that rolls over for the President every time without any dissent whatsoever (what we had from 2001-2007), or a Congress and a President that refuse to work together at all (what we have now).
“…and maybe even withdraw the troops.”
– EXACTLY what we’re hoping for!
“McCain will continue Bush’s policies.”
– It sure looks that way. Reason enough to vote against him.
“Putin chose his successor, so why wouldn’t Bush do the same?”
March 5th, 2008 at 3:26 pm– Except that Bush didn’t exactly “choose” McCain, American Republican voters did (if Bush had actually had a choice, he probably would have chosen Romney). Furthermore, the Russian political system is a bit different from ours. Only a popular U.S. president could really influence the American people to vote for his preferred successor. Bush isn’t nearly popular enough to pull that off.
#51 RUCerious:

If he was a parodist, I would be very impressed that he can keep up the charade this long. I mean, JMOHR takes his mask off when he’s done. I suspect that Frank M is real. Strange, but real.
Frank M should not be confused with conservative posters who actually make rational points from time to time — Keltoi, good_golly, Captain Mantastic, Southern Man, etc. I don’t agree with a lot of what they post, but their viewpoints usually indicate some degree of sanity.
Frank M has always been like this — in fact, this is better than most days. Usually he will just drop a flaming off-topic turd in the middle of a thread to derail it and then run (or he will stick around for awhile and add to it if he has a case of troll diarrhea).
At least today, his bizarre “franklogic” was somewhat on topic.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:36 pmzuck, a cleat is a handle kind of thingy on the gunnel (railing) of the boat, that is used when you tie up to a dock…
March 5th, 2008 at 3:36 pmIf elected McCain will have put this country in bankruptcy and yes the United States will be for sale.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:37 pmMuch talk about Bush “choosing” his successor. What I see is a weak and thoughtless McBush allowing Bush to tell the world what McBush is going to do. (You see this with overbearing parents telling the world what their child thinks and feels.) McBush is willingly giving up his individuality and ability to make his own decisions. And doing it openly!!! Proudly, it appears. Almost unbelievable!
This is a “man”??? No, this is a shell with no soul in the shape of a man. An “empty suit” does not begin to describe this travesty trying to impersonate a real human being.

John McCain
March 5th, 2008 at 3:54 pmFrom Wikipedia
McCain’s war wounds leave him unable to attend to his own hair and he sometimes requires assistance in dressing, tasks performed by nearby aides. His former communications director has said, “You comb someone’s hair once, and you never forget it.” McCain has been treated for recurrent skin cancer, including melanoma, in 1993, 2000, and 2002; one of the resulting operations left a noticeable mark on the left side of his face. These medical conditions, combined with his advancing years, led him to repeatedly use a self-deprecating remark during his 2007 campaigning: “I am older than dirt and have more scars than Frankenstein.”

March 5th, 2008 at 4:05 pmThat comment should be on every bulletin board and locker at Seattle and Everett BOEING plants. BTW, Boeing is now based in Chicago…
Just what we need…Bush McClone.
Jebus helpus.
March 5th, 2008 at 4:10 pmMcBush looked sheepish alongside Bush during the “welcome”. The press conference was scripted with Abramovitz (sp) of the Wash Post called upon first to give the softball question that Bush appeared scripted to give. McCain answered the questions about Bush being a help or hinderance during his campaign identically the same on two occasions. He looked pathetically incapable of standing at the WH then and in the future.
March 5th, 2008 at 4:19 pmBush was totally arrogant in selecting reporters, saying things like “Not you”, several times until he found the plant.
It’s actually going to prove very bad for the R’s that their candidate is already chosen, especially in light of who this particular R is. Once the obligatory handjobs-for-heroism have been dealt out, what is there to talk about except the kind of politician he has really been? That works very well for me, and the D I will be voting for. Feeding his weiner to the lapdog press isn’t going to offset anything.
March 5th, 2008 at 4:20 pmIsn’t it amazing how Bush biotch-slapped McCrazy in 2000 for precisely the same things which have recently been outed with the lobbyist corruption? Now since Bush believes that he’s gotten away with all of the lying (wrong!) he’s honoring McCrazy for being as big a liar as he is. Utterly amazing hypocrisy.

Actually, I think that would make a great campaign ad. Play clips from all the negative ads that Bush/Rove ran against McCain in 2000, then cut to the picture of them hugging, and then cut to an inarticulate Bush endorsing McCain. It would be a pretty powerful ad.

WRT the question posed by your handle, “no, I’m not”.
zuck, a cleat is a handle kind of thingy on the gunnel (railing) of the boat, that is used when you tie up to a dock…
I’m aware of what a “cleat” is. There’s horn cleats, cam cleats, jam cleats, etc. They teach that is American Sailing Association (ASA) cert courses.
I was jes’ funnin’ on the thought that “cleat” might refer to the person one might wish to be attached to a rapidly descending (and heavy) anchor and rode.
Cheers,
March 5th, 2008 at 4:36 pmMcCain is selling his soul for a few stupid words from the goof in chief. Imagine tap dancing around those sorts of comments about “carrying on” the same program as this insanity Bush has going. Good job McCain ahs pointed out we will need to be in Iraq 50 to 100 years cause that is how long it will take to clean up the horror that Bush et al are leaving. I live in Arizona and I shall have a letter to the editor every last day of this campaign to remind folks exactly what they are voting for., you know another 50 to 100 years. What a gift from McCain who seems ot have lost his way and his guts.

Cheers, mate! After I wrote that I thought maybe you was funnin me…
March 5th, 2008 at 5:23 pmBush is doing a great job of making the national election seem like a pointless exercise isn’t he? Obama doesn’t have to campaign anymore aslong as he lets Bush say things such as this. Brill.
March 5th, 2008 at 5:57 pmI’m missing something: surely no one would be stupid enough and look at Bush’s low ratings and then run on a platform of continuing the Bush WH ?
March 5th, 2008 at 6:14 pmwell, PT Barnum did say that no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public, so maybe it will work for McMaverick.
March 5th, 2008 at 6:28 pmfrom Buzzflash:
“In WaPo-ABC poll, Obama beats McCain by 12 points, Clinton beats McCain by 6 points. 3/6″
Those #’s have been moving up very nicely - after today’s saddling-with-the-albatross in the Rose Garden, they should keep right on climbing.

“John McSame”
That “my friend” is the meme heard ’round the world. Let it go forth and multiply.
March 5th, 2008 at 7:16 pmUh, he can change your so-called “foreign policy” all he wants if he becomes president, you no-account, failed, lame-duck little chimp!
If McCain has brain one in that silver haired head of his, he will.
March 5th, 2008 at 8:11 pmMcMaverick then sang: “hold me closer, tiny dancer”
March 5th, 2008 at 8:21 pm“Yeah, I trashed him but good in SC in 2000, but now I wanna help him keep the republican party in office.”
March 6th, 2008 at 12:33 amAnd McCain assumed the position and took little Dick like a man.
maybe bush is getting himself ready for a role as mccain’s brain?
March 6th, 2008 at 3:13 amMcSame? More like he is Dubyas McB*tch.
