John McCain runs for George Bush's third term

Based on his policies and the company he keeps, this year's Republican presidential candidate sounds a lot like the guy who ran in 2000 and 2004.

    mccain is bush

    Prof. Cole is right about how McCain has changed and not for the better. I got turned off to McCain for these very reasons since 2000. However, if Hillary wins the Dem nomination I shall vote for McCain, while holding my nose. I will do anything to stop the Clintons from imposing their arrogant entitlementism and vicious partisanship on this country again.
