Obama declared that McCain would carry out a "third Bush term"...
"No matter what the costs, no matter what the consequences, John McCain seems determined to carry out a third Bush term," Obama said.

There are some things that Bush and McCain agree upon, but there are some things that they don't agree upon. I will give seven reasons why McCain does not represent a third Bush term.
Gitmo, McCain-Liebermann, McCain-Feingold (Which Bush thought about vetoing but didn't), Waterboarding, Earmarks (Bush stunk in this area, but McCain said that he will make the bill signers famous), Man-Made Global Warming, Gang of 14.
There are a few other things besides these that Bush and McCain do not agree upon.
If Bush and McCain agreed upon everything or just Iraq, Obama and the Democrats would say that McCain represents a third Bush term. No matter what, they will say this.
IMHO, John McCain leaves much to be desired but, regardless, it is still a lie to say that he represents a third Bush term.
Obama: Liar.
And Obama represents a first Osama term......
But it is truth to say that voting for McCain is just like voting for a DemocRAT.
The voting populace will settle this. They’ll choose the true DemocRAT over someone “reaching across the aisle” every time.
We’re in for a dark 4 years no matter what happens.
“And Obama represents a first Osama term.”
Obambi represents the first McGovern term, except McGovern had balls.
You gotta think Judges!
I was yelling at the TV about this last night. So much for the “new politics,” eh Barack?
It’s nice to see he was sincere about doing away with the old divisive politics. Sounds like the same old sh!t to me.
That and the fact that Barry is just right of Lennon (John) is the driving force for Mc.
No, No, No. Obama represents the second coming of Jimmy Carter.
Are you trying to convince FR not to vote for McCain. Other than the Earmarks, the Majority of freepers is on board with the Bush Administration rather than McCain.

Obama tries to say that he will be a uniter and unite liberals and conservatives and Dems and Reps.
Fact is, is that McCain has reached across the aisle to liberal Democrats, but Obama hasn’t reached across the asile to conservative Republicans.
How many bills - in comparison with McCain - has Obama co-sponsored with conservative Republicans?
None.
So, Obama lies when he says that he is a uniter. The only thing that Obama will do is unite all liberals.
At least McCain is a conservative is some areas.
In some ways, it would be better to have a quasi-Dem (McCain) because of SCOTUS nominees, tax policies, the War in Iraq.
Better he than than a hard core socialist left-winger (Obama).
Either way, we are in for a dark 4 years.
Yes, I think it can safely be said that McCain is a lot worse than Bush, as your points suggest.
OTOH, Obama is a lot worse than Jimmy Carter.
Obama represents terrorist sympathizers, and a failed method of government that destroyed the Soviet Union after enslaving millions. How can this fool be considered a serious candidate? I just don’t get it.
Right you are.
McCain would carry out a first John F. (i served in Viet-Nam) Kerry term.
Actually Obama represents a 2nd Carter term.
...or the second Carter term
I am on board with the Bush administration in alot of ways. Some I’m not - just like alot of the Freepers here.
Really, though, the purpose of this thread was to show that Obama is a liar about McCain representing a third Bush term.
Obama is lying. McCain is even worse.
LOL, of course Obama is a liar.
Ears will diss McCain, but McCain intends to impress the undecideds how more mature he is by not fighting back.
Meanwhile, Islamic nutjobs looking for virginity, will murder millions of American citizens, but President Ears intends to impress the EuroTrash Elite how more mature he is by not fighting back.
Obama is a socialist, and America is rocketing towards socialism. He can win, believe me.
I don’t care much for McCain, but the more I learn about Obama, McCain would be better than he.
I will most likely end up holding my nose and voting for McCain.
Either I will vote for McCain and the down-ballot Republicans, or I will leave president blank and just vote down the ballot for Republicans.
John McCain has a lot of baggage that Obama and MSM can use - adultery, Keating scandal, abandoning our POW, his health, his mental lapses, lies, etc. Cindy is turning into a liability also with her refusal to turn over tax records. ("Cindy McCain's 'privacy' charade," Editorial, The Washington Times, May 14, 2008). He is creepy enough without also have a creepy wife, and polls indicate she is not well liked.
Why don't we seize the opportunity provided by the MSM's cramming of Obama down our throats to permanently de-claw the IRS?
This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why government "leaders" like Senator Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics. In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.
Obama, a big-shot federal spenderThe people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problem that the federal government is not operating within the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned.
The bottom line is that the people need to send big-shot, Constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes - or get out of DC.
So the EmptySuit still has no plan, not a clue, and nothing to propose except “CHANGE” and can only throw non sequiturs.
Puff the Dancing O’Bambi.....
Yep.
“Obambi represents the first McGovern term”
Hey, that’s a great line.
The more I think about it, that would be a great response, in the upcoming election, for McCain to counter with, every time Obama uses “McCain represents the 3rd Bush term”.
“Obambi represents the first McGovern term, except McGovern had balls.”
I think if McPain had ballz he’d find a way to respond with, “Obama represents the 1st Karl Marx term”
Obama lies? I’m shocked!!
Easy response here: Obama would be a second Jimmy Carter term!!
Obama represents a second Jimmy Carter term.
McGovern was a WW II pilot who flew a B24 in Europe. Can’t fault him on that score.
McCain is dopey. He won’t fight back until he’s losing.
Maybe it’s breathing at high altitude which softens their brains.
The bad news is that Jimmy Carter is to be preferred to any current Democrat candidate... and represents the current state of the Republican Party.
Actually McCain is the 6th Bush-Clinton term.
We should be so lucky.
I would take a third Bush term over the second coming of James Earl Carter.
I am no fan of John McCain, but the alternative is much worse.
Clearly Barry Obama feels he can’t beat McCain straight up in the general election. So he is trying to beat a lame duck president instead.
When all you are is an empty suit, I guess this is the best thing he can do!
