Support John McCain a moderate and sensible Republican in 2008. The democrats have lost their way, are bitter and divisive and will not serve America well.

It's a matter of history and timing before we see what the Iraqi war has meant to the US. Our modern society has a bad habit of judging everything by emotion and instant gratification. This is not the way our predecessors thought or made decisions. If it were, we would probably be under a totalitarian government ruled by neo-nazi's or communism. Previous wars defending democracy have brought us to this point in history. Let's try to be adults and use reasoning instead of emotion to gratify our every feeling.

Historians will judge George W. Bush and his role in maintaining democracy around the world in their own time.

John McCain is a man of the hour who has the right plan for Iraq and the mideast. Moderation and sensibility are his most important attributes, unlike the fanatical and emotional opponents he is facing in the democratic party. Think before you speak or posts comments that are purely emotionally driven.

Be sane and vote McCain.

Of course Bush is a liability for Senator McCain. He has been a liability for the nation for the past eight years.

liability!!!

McCain didn't put down Obama just because he didn't serve in the military...

He set him straight that a non-veteran has no grounds to criticize his loyalty to the troops.

Every idiot that misquotes the 100 years in Iraq quote makes himself look like a moron. McCain is NOT Bush. He's not even close. How else can you explain that half the republican base thinks he's a RINO.

Fact: Gases prices are the Dem's fault. If we drill our own oil, we aren't at OPEC's mercy for prices and supply. Rocket science, I know...Funny how dems say that drilling will only save us penny's. They used that same lie when gas was $1.50/gal.

Obama is still all hype and no substance. He still hasn't said HOW he's going to change things. The man can't even manage to cast a vote in the Senate for fear of making a decision...how's that for leadership?

McCain's record isn't golden, but at least there is something to examine.

You must be kidding? I wouldn't be caught dead with a war criminal. Then again maybe I would.

Like Bill was a liability to Hill-liar-y, Dubya is a liability to Johnny. Don't see how the "conservative" vote matters at all when only 28% of America still thinks Dubya is leading the country in the right direction. Still hard to believe that Harry S. Truman had a worse apporval rating than Dubya has now.

MC Cain = WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR & MORE WAR!!!!!

MC = CAIN = BUSH FAILED ECONOMIC/HEALTH/EDUCATIONAL/ECONOMIC/FOREIGN POLICY!!!!!!!!!!

DEMOCRATS 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ability to lie!!

This is a stupid question. George Bush is poison to John McCain's campaign!

The question should be put to McCain..Is he going to be a better President than Bush?

why is there even a question mark after that statement?

you must also be wondering if planet earth is round? or if fish live in water? or if we need air to breathe? does the sun rise and set every day? will The Bachelorette find true love? okay, so that last one is debabtable, but the answer to your question is pretty dang obvious!!! it's not just b/c he couldnt sell enough tickets to fill Phoenix-area venues that mccain is now having to visit private homes IN HIS HOME STATE, he also cant be pictured with his BFF Bushy!!!

Well, that's a tough question. I'm not sure about that, but there's ONE thing for certain...

WE LOVE OBAMA!!!!!!!

WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA '08 & '12

I used to think that the democrats were the more intellectually advanced party but reading these comments and seeing the Democratic sentiment over the '08 election I have to say I am no longer sure. It seems Democrats while being for the people and change-oriented in aim are hateful vengeful and closed minded in practice.

Calling McCain "McSame" or his campaign Bush's 3rd term is completely misguided. We can all agree the last 8 years were a nightmare but McCain would not be a continuation of those years. While he is certainly pro military he's very centerist otherwise and even leftist in approach on the environment. Looking at the facts and records McCain actually comes out as the lowest risk for the economy, international relations end the environment. Of course Bush is a liability for McCain but if we recognize that they are VERY different republicans we'll be better off.

Let's be smart and use our heads and not our hearts in decision making.##########################################

You are truly lost my fellow American. Sounds as if you aren't thinking at all.

Big time liability. Look his policies on the war and the economy.

Frenchy??? Huffington???? Properganda??? The Spider's Webb, is Fatal to the Fly... But still a ittle out of it... to me.. I'm Human.....

Bush is a liability for the world.

he is how mccain sees him

BUSH/CHENEY – LIABILITIES TO MANKIND!

Go ahead Bush keep on campaigning for McCain. For all the HRC supporters who keep saying you will vote for McCain if Clinton is not the nominee, take a long hard at the last eight years because that is exactly what you will be voting for.

Democrats MUST Re-Take the White House.

Since John McCain has essentially adopted every failed policy position of the Bush Administration as a means of gaining the GOP nomination, I see that as a negative. John McCain can have fun explaining to the American people how electing him would not just be a continuation of the worst American presidency in the modern era. Good luck on that one. People liked you better when you weren't saying anything just to get elected.

McCain is his own worse liability.

End the rule of the Bush Crime Family once and for all. Its amazing how the Republicans can convice the little people that they care about them, and then stick it to them.

Don't fall for it again!!!! Unless of course you are happy with gas prices, the job market, the housing market, health care, etc.

Who cares,

They are both jerks.

His approval among Republicans is a testament to the ignorance of many American voters. Blind party voting should be dead. Its virtually impossible to approve of Bush.

Liability...ugh hugh...definately a liability!

D'UH?!

They're both liabilities.

No more cowboys!!!

Everyone wants to say Bush is the greatest uniter the Democrats have, oh really? He beat them twice for the presidency. I hope they are that unified in November. McCain is no Bush third term. If the dems thought that they would not have begged him to be on the ticket in 2004. Think for yourself people! Do not become puppets.

Bush makes McSame look smart

In response to the article title-question:

Liability.

What kind of a question is that? A no-brainer, that's what. Hence, why most people have a strong distaste for McBush.

TO KELLY WI:

I say to you and all the Bush/McSsme backers, that it's a pretty pitiful day when the most significant and poisitive thing you can say about the present president is that his approval rating is higher than Congress. That, my dear, speaks volumes and why republicans running in elections recently (MS, LA & IL) were kicked to the proverbial curb!!!

John McCain is NOT a moderate, for those of you telling yourself that, just so you can feel warm and fuzzy about voting for him in the fall……he sold himself to the conservatives awhile ago and sorry…..his policies follow Bush to a TEE now!

What a joke and what's really sad is how country is going to go down HORRIBLY if we vote the SAME policies in that got us in this mess! Open your eyes people.

I for one do not want to continue Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest of Americans while the rest of us feel the pressure of not being able to buy gas, our jobs getting shipped overseas under NAFTA, millions of children in our OWN country suffering because we won't help them. Our defficet is out of control, how about that foreign policy that has left us at odds with the rest of the world? Gosh, let's send thousands more to die in Iraq for FAILED policy so "we can WIN" that would show them!

VOTE DEMOCRAT!

Bush is a godsend for the democrats this year.

A liability.

America is looking for a new direction.

Go Obama go.

McCain is a liability withot GWB. I have lost one cousin in Iraq and my best friend lost his legs in Afgan. Sorry 4 years or 100 years is still to long for me. McCain is laughable i have to admit it was fun heckling the guy when he came here to MI. He questions Obama's patriotism but this guy said SC confederate flag was a "state issue". That is a flag of a group of racist people who picked up arms against America in there effort to try and keep slavery...He will truely set us back as a nation 210 years!

obama08...clinton08...dream ticket08...just not McCain

Do you really have to ask this question?
Let the rest of the world respond to this "trick question" so there is an objective opinion....yeah...he's a liability alright!

Unfortunately, Bush is as much a liability to the Republican Party as Obama is to the Democratic Party!

Ross apparently you have been asleep for the last seven years

McCain is a man with his own mind. He doesn't follow Bush. In fact, he disagrees with him on several issues.

Obama is the one who will simply vote the "popular vote", whether it's in the best interests of the nation or its people. That's who he is. He's a flip-floppin, spineless, inexperienced candidate, who knows ZERO about the economy OR foreign policy. But see this is where the Dems lose out every time! They go for what's popular or what they consider "intellectual". They have no idea how to be unique and do what's best for an entire group as opposed to just themselves. Leaders HAVE to be willing to go against the grain at times. Obama is NOT YOUR MAN!

a BIG FAT liability. He travels the same road as Bush. War monger, rights grabbying militaristic junta leader is what you will get with McCain.

I call them the Credit Card Republicans.They burn out the credit card and leave the bill for the Dems and future generations.How fiscally responsible is that?

Yet, more examples of many Obamite's mentality on display. Read the comments above people. Do you see a pattern here? This is the kind of stuff you hear in a highschool cafeteria. How can any traditional Democrat support a movement with such hate and vile?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GREAT mCBUSH IS OUT WITH BUSH TO COLLECT MONEY WHO DONATES THIS IDIOTS. THIS PEOPLE ARE REALLY STUPID TO BE OUT TOGATHER. I THINK AMERICANS ARE FORGETTING THAT HIS PLANNING TO STAY IN IRAQ FOR HUNDRED YEARS. MCbush wants that oil money evil!!!!!! democrats 08

With a disapproval rating of over 70%- this is a real question?
I hope he walks side-by-side with McSame until November!

anything tied to bush can not by any sense of the word be a good thing.

Bush needs to wait out his time to get out of the WH and go back to his ranch and stay there. We do not need to to hear anything he has to say or see him, we have had more than enough of him and his administration. He should be ashamed to even be seen.

G.W. is a definite Liability for the Entire Country; The World; The Human Race. Why is McCain an EXCEPTION ?
Not One to wish life away, but come on 2009!

The same crowd that benefited from Bush's tax-cuts for the wealthy will pony up for McCain, who will try to continue that unnecessary and unfair giveaway. Bush might not attract friendly crowds any more, but he will show up at the cocktail parties, where contributing or raising $100,000 is the price of an invitation. So, expect the President to keep a lower profile–and to raise tons of money for McCain behind the scenes. Doing so will not only fuel a strong Republican campaign, it will also tie McCain tightly to the same relatively small crowd of the super-rich and over-privileged. In office, McCain would have to honor his commitments to powerful corporate interests and to the neo-con think tanks that have led this nation onto the road to economic, military, and global disaster. So, McCain is a war hero and–occasionally–a genuinely nice guy, but those folks will own him from Day One. Count on it.

If JM wants to lose the election, have that moron campaign with him. He is a cancer to any GOP candidate except for the die-hards (28%) who still have to go for their MRI's to have their brains examined

This guy has turned out to be the worst president ever in my lifetime.

An open letter to Johm McCain;
Now is no time ot move away from Bush. You didn't do it when is approveral rating was at 70%. You didn't do it when he flew over New Orleans. You didn't do it when he started a war that the U.S. should have never started. And all the other dump and stupid things this fool has done , you and the rest of your party was right there. So be an man and stand by your man John.

CNN has posted other comments, but not mine. I'll try again.

We can't wait for you to get to Phoenix today, Mr. Bush. We will be waiting for you at the Silverado Cable Company, one of the defense contractors, in Mesa, AZ, where you plan to give a speech. We will be at the corner of Dobson and Main at 2:00. We are still having our rally in downtown Phoenix at 4:00, even though low ticket sales has pushed the fundraiser out of the Phoenix Convention Center into private homes. Also, you were afraid they would be more people in the street than there were in the Convention Center. And you were afraid the media would be there. CNN, are you going to be in Phoenix today?

Yes Bush, Keep showing your face with Mc Cain, so Obama or Hillary ca win, Hahahaha

can anyone one of you people tell me on this blog the great things bush or mcsame has done for us the american people or for our country cmon im waiting name one thing

Any gift Bush will be to the Democratic nominee in the fall will be offset by Obama being the nominee.

Many Americans are distrustful of someone who listened to the hatred of Rev Wright and exposed such hatred to his two daughters.

That is not change that I believe in. I adhorr that type of change.

I actually can't believe Bushes approval rating doesn't hover around 1-2%. Seriously, he has screwwed up so horribly on so many things.......he has failed even the republicans.

You ask the stupid obvious question and you get the stupid obvious answer...Duuuuuuuuuuuhhhh!

There is an efford under way the get Hillary's name on the ballot in all 50 states, please join us. With elite left wingers on the left, and elite right wingers on the right we need Hillary for us here in the middle.

Both are liabilities!!!!!

I say an he will help McCain because after 911 Dems. and Repubs. were behind Bush to go into Iraq and Bush's approval rating was really high. They will probably do an add and people's memories will be jogged again that this can happen to us again with the wrong President in charge.

Bush is a gift to destroy his third term chances with McSame.

George W. Bush was a liability when he was born, much less to McCain!

Yes, he's a liability and so is his pitiful foreign policy...cant stand the way McSame came out on Obama for not serving in the military...especially when Bush is his master and Bush went out of his way NOT to serve in wartime. Not to mention Bill Clinton's military history or lack there of.

Bush remains strong among those who would force their will on the rest of the country.

Wealthy conservatives have had their grip on power and with the help of Bush they've strengthened their financial grips. There are many who have grown wealthier and more powerful through the war in Iraq and other Bush initiatives. Whatever helps them hold on, they'll support.

Stay the Course with John McCain!

Does ANYONE here think that George W. Bush did NOT break more than one law, constiutional or otherwise? A simple question that doesn't call for the lunatic answer; a simple yes or no. If you say no you are factually incorrect. If you say YES why then vote for McCain? John McCain should stop playing with garbage. JOHN PLEASE STOP QUOTING JOHN KENNEDY!

I'm glad Bush and McCain share the same brain..... America will probably not vote for an idiot 3 times in a row.

Want to buy some gas Repubbies?

when are people gonna realize mcsame is even worst than bush!! it's a fact.

Seriously, with his current approval rating, does this question need to be answered?

I can't found no words ... Except two same of a kind

Bush will hurt McOld!

Who cares!!! They are both worthless. Nothing from nothing is still nothing!

Let him back McCain.
Bush's approval rating is near 20% and he has lied to, mislead, and deceived the American people since the day he took office. He has also violated U.S. laws and the United States Constitution. He is the very worst President the U.S. has ever had.

Thank you Mr. President, I still think you will be one of the greatest Presidents when history is written.

Let him back McCain.
Bush's approval rating is near 20% and he has lied to, mislead, and deceived the American people since the day he took office. He has also violated U.S. laws and the United States Constitution. He is the very wort President the U.S. has ever had.

A big liability he is but alot of people will not look past the race of Obama.

Oh poor McCain, tried to distant himself in one breath from ole Bushy boy, in the next, letting him host a fund raiser for him. Ticket sales were very low, so they are having it "privately" at McCains ranch. McCain needs money badly, Hillary is even ahead in donations. Poor OLD McCain. Leiberman almost residing at McCains ranch, smooching up to the probably the only other person who wants to attack Iran. LOL Such a motley group! GAWD please NO MORE REPUBLICANS in the WH!!!!!!

Who are we kidding? Bush is a complete liability to McCain.

its over for obama.he should get out for the good of the party.he is behind in all swing states and no way will he ever get elected in november.the republicans will tear him apart and he will see what it is like to go nasty.aunt ester obama will have all her racial remarks come out and we will see who really plays the race card. who goes to any church for twenty years and listen to all that garbage and still go to that church?people wake up before it is too late.obama supporters keep calling hillary backers names and then see who gets the support in the fall.

Bush is a liability to McCain the same way that Bill Clinton was a liability to Al Gore in 2000.

No one is going to pay any attention to Bush, he's a has been and
the worst President we have ever had.

Please support McCain, Mr. President.
Then Obama will sweep in all states...

Didn't Bush slam the stuffing out of McCain when they were both running for the Republican nomination. I remember the 'father of a black child' phone calls. Those calls didn't come from Democrats.

Remember Repugs had it their way for 7 years. Those so called 'conservatives' have spent more of our money and created a bigger government than ever before.

January 20, 2009 We will never have to deal with Georgie again!

I used to think that the democrats were the more intellectually advanced party but reading these comments and seeing the Democratic sentiment over the '08 election I have to say I am no longer sure. It seems Democrats while being for the people and change-oriented in aim are hateful vengeful and closed minded in practice.

Calling McCain "McSame" or his campaign Bush's 3rd term is completely misguided. We can all agree the last 8 years were a nightmare but McCain would not be a continuation of those years.

Of course Bush is a liability for McCain but if we recognize that they are VERY different republicans we'll be better off.

Let's be smart and use our heads and not our hearts in decision making.

Kiss of death for McCain

If your looking for 4 more years of Bush vote for McCain.

John McCain/Jeb Bush is exactly what you are voting for.

let's face it, bush is like the dirty diaper that you don't really want to deal with, but ultimately have to so that you can get past it. mccain has to walk a fine line to woo the die-hard bush supporters, but also to define himself beyond bush so that he can attract the important moderate and independent voters.

mccain will do best by reminding everyone that he is a far different person than bush, and therefore would not bring about a 'third bush term' as dems are trying to paint. his personal story and his record will speak best for him.

Bush has been a Liabilty to the whole PLANET so whay even ask this question????

Stupid is that stupid does and I will vote for McSame.

he's a liability for mccain,but a dream come true for obama.today, will mark the moment, when mccain loses his independent support.some republicans will use this an excuse to crossover to obama,also.obama would never accept financial help from a war criminal.bush is a go-between for money from corporations ,like big oil,and haliburton.those companies who have stolen america's wealth,from the american people,and put us in debt to china,forever.those companies who have grown enormously wealthy,at the expense of our troops' lives.bush cheney hillary mccain rumsfeld should all be held accountable ,for their contributions in misleading the nation,into an illegal war.we cannot afford to have these people in government,anymore.they have set us back,decades.

Bush would be a liability for his Father. But then again he can be off set with an Obama nomination.

he's a gift to the democrat party if he's "helping" McCain

Let me put it this way. He is a ball and chain on McCain's leg in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight.

Major liability. Everyone talks about McCain's maverick demeanor over the last 35 years, but where has McCain stood on issues over the last 5 to 8 years. If McCain has been supportive of Bush's policies by over 90% over the last 5 years, then he will be rightfully portrayed as a third Bush term!

He is most certainly a liability if he stumps for him too much. McCain need to put some distance between him and show why he would be different. That said, they both suck.

no matter how much you dispise Bush and we all do, Obama will lose the election and McCain will win the WH come November.
It's a given. America is not ready for a black president nor are they ready for a woman. Simple as that.

Liability!!!

Republicans fatigue!!!

The repubs are doomed this year.

These are the most fudged numbers Ive ever seen.They must have taken the poll on K-street,Wall street and Florida.

He's a liability because too many Americans are bathing in the coolaid that the media puts out.

It's amazing to see the idiocy and factually incorrect statements on the ticker. Especially from the Obama zealots.

Media bias and blind partisanship makes for stupid voters. Stupid voters lead to stupid candidates. Why else do you think we're stuck year after year without a truly viable candidate on either ticket?

With ratings as low as Bush has, he would have to be a liability to John McCain's presidential bid? McCain will win anyway and we will have 4 more years of Bush policies continued.

For any working man to vote for a Republican, is about like a chicken voting for Col Sanders these days. Their policies hurt them the most !! High paying Jobs exported, turned the USA into a 3rd world country with Amnesty for illegals, posisonus foods, tainted toys and diseases that were never heard of 8 years ago ! Wake up worker bees before your good paying job leaves soon !

If the man is a liability to America and the world in general, how can he be of use to anyone? He needs to spent the last few months of his time in office in Crawford.

Support John McCain a moderate and sensible Republican in 2008. All Democrats have lost their way, are bitter and divisive and will not serve America well.

Be sane and vote McCain.

google Rhinestone Cowboy McCain before you decide to vote for him. Excerpt

He showed himself to be intellectually alert during the interview. From a morale point of view he is not in traumatic shock. He is neither dejected nor depressed. He was able to be sarcastic, and even humorous, indicative of psychic equilibrium. From the moral and ideological point of view he showed us he is an insensitive individual without human depth, who does not show the slightest concern, who does not appear to have thought about the criminal acts he committed against a population from the absolute impunity of his airplane, and that nevertheless those people saved his life, fed him, and looked after his health, and he is now healthy and strong. I believe that he has bombed densely populated places for sport. I noted that he was hardened, that he spoke of banal things as if he were at a cocktail party.

well, obviously, Bush is just a glimpse into the future with john McCain
so make your choice......can't be any easier than that

He is neither, he a joke and the American people just ignore him.

He'll be gone and forgotten in a few months(except he will be remembered along with Jimmy Carter as the worst President
America has ever had)

I will vote for Sen. Mccain over obams every day of the week, and twice on sunday. Down with obamanation.

Bush a liability ??? Heck No !!! He should be at every McCain rally.
McCain really needs his support........GOTCHA !!!!!! OBAMA2008.

Liability! I thought McCain would drift closer to the center after winning the nomination. However, it looks like he's sticking to the right. I was a fan in 2000, but I am having a hard time supporting him in 2008.

As a republican I am sorry to say that anyone that approves of the job Bush is doing is just as big of a retard as Bush is. McCain will get the republican vote with or without Bush's help and will win in November. America will be counting on McCain to clean-up the total mess that Bush leaves in Iraq.

Bush and McCain are both idiots - they deserve to be together.

Nuff said

OBAMA 08

McCane is Bush III....... he has no chance to win 2008

John McCain has George W. Bush and Barack Obama has his wife. It might be a toss up. By the way, any word when Michelle's new video is coming out?

McBush is nothing but an extention of Bush's misreable two terms. Let's see

Bush wants to be in Iraq for another 50years vs McSame wants to be in Iraq for another 100years.

They both want to extend the tax cut for the wealthy and neither have a clue about the Economy.

Thank you for supporting McSame. This is sure to help out the democratic party, no matter who the nominee is.

Bush the LOSER.
Mccain the LOSER WANNABE

We can't wait for you to get to Phoenix today, Mr. Bush. We will be waiting for you at the Silverado Cable Company, one of the defense contractors, in Mesa, AZ, where you plan to give a speech. We will be at the corner of Dobson and Main at 2:00. We are still having our rally in downtown Phoenix at 4:00, even though low ticket sales has pushed the fundraiser out of the Phoenix Convention Center into private homes. Also, you were afraid they would be more people in the street than there were in the Convention Center. And you were afraid the media would be there. Not CNN, though, I haven't seen them cover this story going on in McCain's home state.

Print this CNN, print some real news for a change.

old tactics,mcbush??war twince

Liability. The only people he has helped are my rich relatives and their country club friends. I loved hearing my rich family members complaining about being in a higher tax brack their because of all of the money mommy and daddy gave them.

Facts about McCain I was unaware of. Women in particular should read this article before november :

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/unmasking-mccain-his-reac_b_103580.html

Neither here, nor there, in my view. When he is, I should think he'll have the good sense, to step away.

Liability.

But it won't matter. Hillary has polarized the Democrats so divisely that it appears that McCain is going to win with the help of the Clinton supporters.

On November 5th, I hope CNN reflects back on the Democrat primaries and reaffirm that it was the Clinton monomania (singlemindedness) that led to Obama's downfall, as the divide is just too wide for anyone to heal.

Twenty eight percent?They must all live in Florida with Lush Limbaugh and his pinheads.

McCain in 2000 was the appealing Maverick I admired crushingly. Mit Romney pushed McCain into a Bush caricature. In order to prove his conservative credentials and beat Romney McCain metamorphosed into Bush. Now he wants to run away from Bush. Sen McCain ,made the greatest Blunder in the primaries. He still have my admiration but not my vote anymore.

Some of you are so dillusional. We need moral reform in this country. We need Bob Barr!!! Barr "08 a true republican.

George Bush...
Has been a liability for nearly everyone–unless you're a large military industrial contractor or an energy company executive. Why should McCain be exempt from the "Bush stain" ...the rest of us sure are not.

I don't know, is bringing a six pack of beer to court a liability in a DUI case?

BUSH'S FUND RAISER PAID FOR BY DNC.

Big time liability...democrats that have never voted before are teaming up to get those lousy, lazy, self-absorbed republicans out of office all over the US. Now that's what I am talking about...Democratics will have the last say in this even if Obama doesn't win in November. "United we stand, devided we fail"!

In comparison to how the Republicans went after Clinton over his "errors", the Democrats have every right to not only impeach, but imprison several of the Bush administration along with stripping them of their wealth. Wealth and power are the only things that truly matter to most of them.

There was a time that McCain apparently offered a rational choice to conservatives – and Conservatives. His experience and conduct mixed a libertarian/liberal respect for individuals with a conservative personal and fiscal ethos. Or so it seemed.

Since campaign 2000, however, he surrendered his soul to the Dark Side. The NeoCon knuckleheads did what the North Vietnamese could not . . . they broke McCain’s spirit, and his moment in history is gone.

Are you kidding? They couldn't even find enough average donors to hold the thing at the convention center, and had to settle for huge dollar donations from the obscenely rich people who owe a huge part of their wealth to Bush Crony Capitalism

Bush is a liability to the country and the world, never mind McCain.

Worst President in the history of this country...definite liability. This should help ensure a resounding Democratic victory in November!

Can someone please explain why there is a Presidential primary in Puerto Rico, when inhabitants of the Commonwealth are not allowed to vote in the election?

Any American voter who excuses this type of foolishness should be cast out of the country. Supporting Dubbya or accepting his support should be deemed "UNPATRIOTIC"! I hope Americans see that John McCain is very much tied to Dubbya and all of his policies that have blackened the clouds over America for the last 8 years!

And next year when gas is 10$ a gal. who are you going to blame for that? Dare I ask? Well, Bush of course. You seem to have some idea in your heads that the President sets the gas prices? Too bad the dem congress won't let us drill and produce more of OUR Own.
Nope, they'd rather pay other countries for it and use our crops so the food prices and transportation prices go up to. Good thinking. Not.

HAH!!! McCain is straddling so many fences, he is in a permanent split.

He wants endorsements, her rejects endorsements, he is in favor of something, he opposes something, he hates, he loves, he is all things to all people so he must be the right man for the jerb!!!

Go ahead McCain, distance yourself from Bush some more so we can call you a flip-flopper just like Kerry.

As a Republican....a liability – I am voting for Obama....the only way I would support McCain is if HRC is anywhere near the Democratic ticket

Obviously a liability but there are 25% of Americans who still like Bush and I think they all live here in Texas and I think its just because he's a tough talking Texan. Too bad for McCain there are 49 other states out there.

Bush is always a liability, to all human beings. He is not only a national disgrace, but a war criminal as well, not to mention a pontificating, mis-informed "Americun Christian" who is as dangerous as any fanatic that has come before him.

Possibly the worst president in history, with only the possible exception of Buchanon?

My grandmother remembers Hoover well, and says that he wasn't anywhere nearly as incompetent as Bush.

McCain must reject and denounce Bush to have even the slightest chance of winning the election. Unfortunately, McCain still needs Bush for fundraising among the remaining anti-abortion wackos who don't know any better.

Bush is can be McCain's Vice President. Because it will be just like having Bush again if you vote for Mccain.

He's a LIE-ability.

i think it would be fair to say that President Bush is a liability in phases of his presidency, included this last phase. Like one of his previous oil companies, he has run the U.S. into the ground.

Bush is counter-productive.

Clinton is out trying to clean up his Legacy. Dems for 16 years thought he was the best thing that came down the pike. Now they are drooling over an empty suit.
We will let the historians write the books on who was what.
The Oct. surprise will come in Aug. this time.

Bush is to John McCain what Babe Ruth has been to the Red Sox, A curse. It took 90+ years for the Red Sox to break that curse and John McCain doesn't have that kind of time. His denial of supporting the new G.I. bill will cost him, many, many Veterans who he was supposed to have in his hip pocket. He's lobbying for a ridiculous Gas Tax that would save absolutely nothing but can't lobby for a G.I. Bill to improve the welfare and education of troops. I find that absolutely disgusting. His version of the Bill wants troops to basically stay in service for 12+ years. Hell-O, if you continue the War in IRAQ until 2013 or for the next 100 years, they may not be around to use the G.I. Bill dumb-dumb. Bush is so radioactive that none of the Republicans even want to mention his name or be seen with him.

Well, it depends how it looks to have a War Criminal campaigning for you! That is what G.W. should be considered once his worthless run as "President" is over!

I would think it can do nothing but hurt John McBush during the General Election.... it will do nothing but bring back all the BAD memories from the last 8 years!

Bush and McCain are pathetically side-by-side, hand-in-hand.

Bush carries a "I really don't give a hoot about what I've done to this country" look on his arrogant face.

And McCain likes to go on T.V. and crack jokes, failing to consider how many important issues our country and families are having to face day in and day out because of Bush-his right hand.

Bush danced on the steps in front of the White House with a smirky smile, while the "joker" arrived to greet him.

Go figure.

Voting for Mcbush will give Bush his 3rd term, is that what we, average americans want? I thought so!

Obama 2008 and never the queen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the funniest thing I ever heard - since when has Bush been anything but a liability?

He's a definite liability so I'm happy to see him campaigning for McCain. The "republican hold" on our government must end before the country crashes to its knees.

It's time to stop the "borrow and spend" republicans.

BIG LIABILITY

Ross – are you serious? "Bush is not a bad president." and "Fool me once, shame on – Shame on you, Fool me – you can't get fooled again" – Look he'll go down as one of worst, most decisive, idiotic Presidents who at times looked more like a puppet and allowed one of the nations most secretive and hypocritical administrations control this nation with lies and fears – we’ve started two wars, finished neither – didn’t catch Osama Bin Laden or quell Terrorist activity in the middle east, actually he has given them all the marketing material they needed to strengthen their troops. We have illegal prisons on foreign soil, we don’t follow the Geneva convention, we ignored NATO and the UN basically went from the most popular countries in the world with a very strong economy to one of the most hated countries sliding into a recession and over 4,000 American troops dead – how has he been a good president?

Given the mess that Clinton left for Bush and then shortly after that add 9/11, the war on terror, the real threat from N. Korea, the realization of China as a global economic super-power, the Iranian nuclear threat, Russia showing her true colors, etc... I for one say that President Bush has done a great job defending the Red, White & Blue! It makes me laugh that he's viewed as a bad President that is responsible for everything from the record high oil prices to global warming.

I will want to use this forum to appeal to Obama’s supporters not to bash Hilary and her supporters on this blog.It’s important ‘cause Obama will really need their votes in the fall.We are Hilary supporters (my family members and me).We voted for her at the Cali primary.I will be voting for Obama in the fall since he is now the inevitable Dem’s nominee.Forget the Dems that prefer to go McCain instead of their nominee.Hilary and Obama are almost similar on issues which pales with McCain . So,why vote McCain ? Such folks have a colour problem (unfortunately,my mother falls into this category).In His second coming,if Jesus doesn’t come in such people’s colour,they will never accept him.They will prefer HELL FIRE to accepting Him.The world is watching us.As for FL and MI,i am still trying to comprehend why DNC and Obama are the cynosure of censure.I desperatley need somebody to help me understand why they are to blame.

My father,brothers and sisters have agreed to vote for Obama in Nov.But my dearest Mum is NOT comfortable with his colour.

Uneducated 38 y/o white guy from Calif.

Hey Ross, when you say Bush was not a bad president, do you mean of this country? On this planet?

He`s the best fund raiser the Democrats have. Go get`em Bushie Baby.

Wow! Bush is ALMOST as unpopular as Congress!

LOL!!!!! Florida loves this guy....they love George W Bush so much that they are going to vote for McCain just to spite Obama. I thought that they were supposed to be mad at GWB? Not all FL residents will do this, thank god!

FL Voters- Contact or email Rep. Ellyn Boganoff (R) and Rep. David Rivera (R), Democrats....Go figure Republicans are the reason why your VOTES won't count!

Liability. I honestly don't understand how any enlightened person could ever in clear conscience vote (anti – humanitarian) republican.

Doesn't really matter McCain will win no matter what.

A liability to McCain ??????? HELL – he`s a liability to this nation. Good riddance. History will be his judge alright, just like LBJ, dispised.

Well, duh, what would you think dems would say. jeez.
You forgot to mention that the dem congress has a less approval rating than Bush.
What else would you expect from a left stream media that has been pushing for Obama since day one.
Now don't post me or stick me in moderation because I don't go with the sheep.

The ONLY way President Bush can be consider anything BUT a liability is if you forget what America and the world was like before he came into office. Sept. 11th showed that he was a man in a job that require much more personal depth and knowledge than he possessed. He had THE WORLD on our side and he flushed it down the proverbial toilet.

His supporters seem to forget he won (and I use the term loosely) by a very small number of votes in Florida in 2000. And the ONLY reasons he won in 2004 was by CONSTANTLY pushig the FEAR button and Kerry being both a weak Democratic candidate with a poorly ran campaign.

You want to see why there is an old saying SMALL MINDS should not be given GREAT POWER. Look at the Bush Presidency objectively. It is a series of mistakes both here in America nad throughout the world. Yes they have done a FEW good things, but it has only been a few.

GEORGE W BUSH HAS DONE NOTHING FOR AVERAGE AMERICANS. WE WERE BETTER OFF 8 YEARS AGO. HE WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER.

Albatross!

Millstone around his neck.

You can already see McCain trying to throw Bush under the bus, but his nose-up-Bush's-butt voting record is going to make a liar out of the straight talker.

He's a liability but McCain will get a lot of support from Hillary supports and it will cancel out the Bush problem. Lots of us would rather have a divided government rather than an Obama presidency. Obama nomination means a McCain presidency, pure and simple.

JOHN MCCAIN I WILL VOTE FOR YOU. I Was democrat but they did not count my Florida vote.

Bush is going to help McSame lose this general election!

Go Bam!

a no brainer... Bush is a liability to the human race.

IMPEACH THE SOB

The Latter

He is a Liability to the Liability that is a Liability to himself.
John McCain and George Bush were both cut from the same cloth.
They are both Liabilities on their own merits. They need no help.

Absolute liability. The domocrats are running as much against George W. Bush in this election. No way McBush beats the democratic nominee – Obama – in November. People just don't want more of the same disaster we have had for the last 8 years with GWB! The republican party will go down in flames in November. Good riddance to the arrogant fearmongering which is their only battlecry...still.

Though having the support of President Bush might help McCain among Republicans and conservatives, it is the independents who truly make the difference in the elections because they represent a large enough force to swing any election and with Bush's approval rating, it is highly unlikely that Bush nominating McCain will bring more independents towards McCain

Ross,

What are you talking about? Even my GOP family and friends admit he's been a terrible president.

Bush may help McCain with those die hard Republicans who don't see a problem with $4 gas, lack of health insurance for close to 50 million Americans, a ridiculous war that we shouldn't have gotten into, a defecit that the Bush tax cuts will continue to contribute to, and an all out lack of respect from other nations.

For the rest of us, who want to finally see real change in this country, Bush helping McCain DOES HELP US TO – It reminds us that voting for McCain is like voting for Bush Part 3 and WE CANNOT AFFORD THAT!

For the sake of our future and our children's future – vote Obama in November and give the Republicans what they deserve for the mess they've created the past 8 years – a one way ticket to the unemployment line.

A "liability" but, anything tied to the Republicans is a liability!

he's a liability for us all.

Though having the support of President Bush might help McCain among Republicans and conservatives, it is the independents who truly make the difference in the elections becuase they represent a large enough force to swing any election and with Bush's approval rating, it is highly unlikely that Bush nominating McCain will bring more independents towards McCain.

Definitely (and unfortunately) a LIABILITY, although they are very different overall.

Go McCain Go! JM in 2008!

I am one of those people who aren't impressed with the job President Bush has done. However I'd say he can hurt McCain because of it... However it should be said the reason is the uniformed American public... if you did any research you would see their policies aren't the same. McCain is very moderate in comparison... which leads a lot of Rebuplicans to have a negative opinion of McCain.

The bottom line is the Republican Party is very unpoplular right now... and that will have a large effect on this election. It should be the Democrats to win... but they are doing their best to mess it up!

no, bush is a war criminal, who should stand trial for his crimes. he has the blood of our troops on his hands, along with the blood of an untold number of innocent iraqs who was caught in the crossfire.

the 28% who like him are insane or multimillionaires

Bush is great! Anybody with a spine would see that! So it can only help McCain! McCain will take 50 states in November – no problem.

Bush = McSame.

Birds of a feather.....

McSame does not feel Bush is a liability. Never has, never will.

Need we say more.

Like him or not President Bush represents the Republican hold on the Executive branch of government. Who wouldn't want a President in his corner during an election?

Wow 28%.I didnt know that many people were either rich or totally stupid.

Oh boy this was and easy one...

Impeachment – liability

Go back to Texas...

Couple of my friends are Clinton supporters, they have to support her , to push her stay in the race, because they put the bet on her, if Clinton lose, they will lost their bet, their money

They should have a protest in front of supreme court, on one is above the law, Clinton scandel should not be allowed to escape US justice

Please Bush campaign for McCain. Don't let the people forget he's running for your 3rd term!

TO ALL AMERICANS

THEY ARE GROOSELY OUTDATED
END OF STORY

Total liability....as he would be for anyone....I DOUBT anyone would disagree. He's a moron and always will be.

Bush is not a bad president. I'm sincerely surprised that everyone forgot why it was that he was originally elected. Just goes to show that Americans, for the most part, lose interest real quick if their demands are not fulfilled quickly and cheaply.

Also, god is a lie.

Liability...

to McSame and this Country

They both hurt each other for not moving past Vietnman and Iraq. We live in a new generation, they can't expect to apply their standards to ours today and think the world should be the way it was back in their day. It's no wonder McCain can't distinguish a Suni or Shiite, it's no wonder he is trying to instill fear in Americans that Obama is Muslim and it's no wonder he still fights the Vietnam war as if it happened yesterday. Can someone please give him a few good, well written books on how the Vietnam war as a failure and perhaps good reads on the dangers of dictatorship rule? If we nominate McCain, America will be going backwards while the European Union, Canada, Russia, China, Japan, etc... are moving forward. THINK.

Liability. That is too bad because I think he is much more than a bush clone!

What is this a trick question?

Come on now CNN. Mr. President should prepare for his upcoming Nuremberg Trials Round 2, not attending fundraisers.

liability.
