John McCain’s acceptance speech last night brought back memories of how the last eight years began. What little there was that was not biographical in McCain’s speech sounded frighteningly familiar to George W. Bush’s speech eight years ago. McCain proposed the same Bush policies (lower taxes, smaller government, more jobs, etc.) and the same Bush "heart felt" promise to work with Democrats and Independents. Republicans must think (hope?) the American people are clueless and getting more so. After all, McCain claimed all this in the name of CHANGE and the crowd in the hall ROARED in approval!
Judging from McCain’s speech, when it comes to what he says he will do and how he will go about doing it: McCain = Bush doubled down.
