McCain runs for Bush's third term - here's proof

The recent issue started when Bush, supporting McCain in his campaign against Barack Obama, said to the Isreali Knesset "Bush taunted those who follow 'the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.'"

McCain immediately echoed the attack by Bush:

John McCain, the Republican nominee in waiting, said Obama was showing "naivete and inexperience and lack of judgment" in his willingness to meet with U.S. foes.

The attack on Obama by Bush in the inappropriate forum of a speech to a foreign Parliament was immediately echoed by the beneficiary of that attack, McCain. This clearly shows that McCain is running for Bush's third term as President and that both Bush and McCain know it.

But wait! There's more!

Only hours before Bush told the Israeli Knesset that a Senator was going to appease Iran just by speaking to them, the Secretary of Defense Bob Gates told a meeting of the Academy of American Diplomacy that

"We need to figure out a way to develop some leverage . . . and then sit down and talk with them," Gates said. "If there is going to be a discussion, then they need something, too. We can't go to a discussion and be completely the demander, with them not feeling that they need anything from us."

It's hard to take Bush seriously when his statements are contradicted by those of his Secretary of Defense. Not only does McCain's echo of Bush's statement show how very closely the two of them are, proving that McCain is running for Bush's third term, the mismatch between Bush and his Secretary of Defense clearly demonstrate how utterly incompetent the first two Bush terms that McCain wants to extend really have been.

America has been really damaged by the Bush incompetent Presidency, and McCain wants to become President so that he can continue the damage.
