A Vote For McCain Validates Bush
There are, in the minds of many, historical legacies at stake in the 2008 presidential election. From Der Spiegel, via Nitpicker:
SPIEGEL ONLINE: The Iraq war was perceived as the one chance the neocons had in our time to prove that their theories were right. Is neoconservatism already a historical footnote?
[Neoconservative Lawrence] Kaplan: The near-term argument here is that if John McCain wins the presidential election, neoconservatism will have been vindicated. Because by voting him into office, people will have tacitly given their endorsement to that sort of foreign policy. His advisers are the very people we are arguing about.
Comments
The Zionist NeoCons control McCain just like they do Bush. Obama is not completely in the Zionist pockets, like Sentors Clinton and McCain.
The media and the Democrats will keep on blasting McCain...all the way to the White House...especially if Obama is the nominee. John McCain is an honorable American and honorable Americans will elect him. I say this regretfully, as I am a Democrat.

A man who conducts himself so poorly that he calls the daughter of the White House ugly and, thinking himself clever, attributes her ugliness to being the daughter of Hillary and Janet Reno is honorable? A man who gave secrets to the enemy while in prison when others have died to save their country is honorable? A man who treats war with such glib disregard as to make a joke it by bending a Beach Boys lyric to get laughs is honorable? I disagree. Hopefully enough other Americans will, too.

silverlucie:
McCain has owned up that he knows NOTHING about economics, which would be horrible with our country in an economic crisis. Being honorable militarily doesn't make you a good president.
McCain would be another puppet, just like Bush, and will probably be wearing a wire in his ear for the answers in the debates, just like Bush.
I agree with Jonathan, voting for McCain will be a validation of the egregiously terrible Bush administration of which McCain is so fond.

Honorable? Perhaps at one time, but certainly no longer. He "supports" the troops, but opposes increased benefits for veterans; because it would "encourage" them to leave the service (after only 3 or 4 deployments to Iraq). He opposes any sort of "socialized" medical system, even though he has been the beneficiary of "socialized" medical benefits paid for by the tax payers his entire life. He criticizes others as "elitist" while enjoying the many mansions of his multi-millionaire wife. He has radically changed his position on issues in order to satisfy his ambitions.
I see nothing "honorable" in any of this.

DavidD, nothing wrong with a spouse living off the wealth of the other spouse. You must really be a women hater. Since his employer was the government, he got health care to compensate for the low wages(I know, I am a government worker and get wages lower than the private sector).

McCain has vehemently criticized Bush in the last eight years. Some people feel that he has influenced certain policy changes. His position on torture is very different. He seems somewhat more energetic on ecology. He seems further from the religious right. He seems more likely to be able to work in a bipartisan way. He was -- after all -- invited to be the vice presidential running mate of a DEMOCRATIC candidate.
Seems a bit overstated to say that he validates "Bush". Were there any Republicans in the nomination who were running on the platform of "Let's continue with four more years of the same"?
