Huffington Post is making a big deal out McCain possibly not voting for Bush in 2000 to try to undermine Obama's "Bush Third-Term" strategy against McCain, but here is why it doesn't matter...
McCain REALLY IS a Continuation of George Bush!
(1) McCain wants to CONTINUE Bush's war in Iraq and wants to bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran; (2) McCain wants to CONTINUE Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy and believes in Reagan's trickle-down vodoo economics; (3) McCain wants to continue non-universal healthcare where Americans have to worry about how they are going to get the care they need or about going bankrupt to pay their medical bills; (4) McCain wants to CONTINUE Bush's effort to drill for oil in environmentally sensitive areas rather than develop the technology to make us independent from oil; (5) McCain wants to CONTINUE appointing more activist conservative judges that want to take this country backward rather than forward; and, (6) McCain wants to CONTINUE Bush's American imperialism, bravado and arrogance, in which fear rather than love of America, and its Machiavellian consequence, is the ultimate goal.
So regardless of how the McCains voted in 2000, he and Bush might as well be kissing cousins because they both read from the same right-wing policy playbook - down to every word, letter, and punctuation mark.
