PHOENIX - As President George W. Bush helped fill Republican presidential hopeful John McCain’s campaign coffers this week, the Democrats wasted no time cutting a new video arguing that the Arizona senator would just be an extension of the Bush administration’s policies on issues like the Iraq war and taxes.

“Any candidate who’s running for office has to stand on their own two feet and they have to chart a course for themselves.,” she told reporters aboard Air Force One.

I cannot believe that he might become our next president. i just saw a compilation of his flip flopping speeches on youtube. it shows that his straight talk is not so straight. he is an outright liar and will definitely lead this country into more corruption if he becomes our president. i cannot wait until the democratic party makes him look like a fool in the coming months.
