Who would be worse, McCain or Bush?

When I saw the line-up of potential GOP candidates last year, I wasn't impressed, but I figured that at least Bush would be gone, and anything would be an improvement.

But now that I know McCain better, I am starting to believe he would actually be a worse president than Bush. He seems eager for new wars, and his decision making is truly abysmal.

Looking at the polls, I'm not worried that he has a chance of winning, but I do wonder, would he be better or worse than what we have now?

2. I believe he would be far worse than the Chimp

He would not only continue the Chimps policies but would take us farther to the dark side and lets not forget his unqualified VP should he expire. We could add a few more wars on faith alone to the agenda McKKKain already has.

3. I would take four more years of Bush/Cheney over McCain/Palin.

Thank God that isn't the choice.

4. My wife insists that he will be worse.

Maybe so, but only because he will stand on the shoulders of giants, so to speak. Whatever a President McCain gets away with will be because */Cheney siezed so much power, and the rest of us failed to halt them.

5. Incredibly, both McCain *and* Palin are worse than bush.

I really didn't think it was possible for the Party to sink any lower. But sink they have. Unbelievable!

6. McCain is not only ignorant, he is a lifelong liar

and takes no personal responsibility for things going wrong. He has no concept of right and wrong, and no grasp of much beyond his percieved self interest. He is mean, and will accatk and harm anyone who he feels has done him a wrong.

I have seen a story on the web about McCain getting angry with an old woman in a wheelchair and pushing her away from him before he was redirected by his staff. She was trying to ask him why he cut off the investigation into POWs in Vietnam - her son is still missing.

He is a really nasty little shit, and I am convinced he would make Bush look almost good in comparison.

8. I think they would be kind of equal in their perspective for America but Palin would be worse>

as cheery as she makes out to be there is a very reactionary nature that would have consequence we could not even begin to imagine.
