Does this mean Bush's Honeymoon is over?

Wed Mar 05, 2008 at 08:17:05 AM PDT

Now that the Republican contender has tied his fate with George W. Bush, does this mean that Democrats may end Bush's long honeymoon, and challenge McCain by challenging Bush?

It is instructive to remember just how long Bush has been given a free ride, a seven year honeymoon. And while it is sometimes the case that a president's final year finds its share of cushions, it is more than clear that Bush has been cushioned all along.

McCain/Bush
Isn't Pain Fun!

But since Bush can't actually be on the ticket, due to a prior engagement with the bottle, and laws, it will therefore be either

McCain/Lieberman
Isn't Pain Fun!

or

McCain/Romney
21st Century Schizoid Honkies

I'm only saying...

    Endorsements give the MSM nice stiffies, but the average American couldn't care less who endorses whom.  

    The average American thinks, and not always incorrectly, the (s)he doesn't need anyone telling him/her who to vote for.

    •  By exposing Bush, you beat McCain (0+ / 0-)

      What I'm saying is that it seems that Bush is fair game now...whereas he would have just been history, without his attaching himself to McCain.

      If Bush's stock goes up...McCain's goes up. And yet there is so much yet unreported about Bush/Cheney.

      •  Sorry, I still don't think so. (1+ / 0-)

        It's still only an endorsement, and really, did anyone expect Bush to express support for the Democrat?

        That, and I fully expect Bush's stock to go up if he succeeds in getting us into any more wars.  Wars are always immensely popular -- as long as we can be convinced we're "winning."
