Ron, being a Canadian, I will give you a pass. Its likely you dont grasp the reality of American politics and what you get up there is filtered thru a Canadian centric news system.
the simple fact is, NO PERSON in the Republican party has been more ANTI-Bush than McCain.
McCain has been with the president when he felt the president was right and HARD AGAINST the president when he felt GWB was wrong.
there have been times when I felt McCain was too much against GWB other times I have agreed with McCain.
McCain has been MORE AGAINST stupid spending than Bush and McCain called for the fireing of Rumsfeld and a change in direction in the war in Iraq. on these I have agreed with McCain.
McCain opposed a number of the Bush tax cuts. On these I was against McCain.
McCain has NEVER been a guy that ANYONE could count as a "Supportive back bencher"
To suggest that McCain is effectively a 3rd Bush term, is either based in ignorance or it is willful misdirection.
