I'd love to see McCain and Bush on stage together. McCain could show-off his brown nose from the tucas kissing he's done to the very person who denigrated him way further in 2000 than the dems ever will in this election.

Checklist for Bush's RNC speech: $1.23. Laura Bush's theater tickets for that night: $150. Right-wing Cluelessness: PRICELESS.

What's the PROBLEM? Wouldn't you WANT a 2-term sitting President to appear with you? What's wrong Johnny Boy? Are you ashamed of Bush also? Buck up and be a man. He's in your party. What's wrong?

JohnBoy ……. "President Bush, jr and sr, have done the USA a great service. We owe them a lot of thanks. Geroge Bush will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents because of the wonderful job he has done on the war on terror. Not only did he have to fight our enemy, he had to fight the Democrats at the same time. He has made great decisions and kept our country safe. "

JohnBoy must be JohnBoy in the photo!! Who else would it be?

Why didn't you win in 2000, McCain? Even better question… How the heck has Bush been president for 2 complete terms?

McCain 2000 (too bad we can't travel back in time)
Obama 2008

God, I really hope so!

Obama 08

I would be lost without my daily dose of hate and venom from Texas Trail Dog. That man is so full of anger it is amazing he doesn't just explode. I used to get really riled up when I read his comments. He is so far over the top that I have learned to laugh at him and now enjoy his comments very much.
Keep up the amusing comments Texas Dog.
We can all use a good laugh.

Uncle Sam .. "For those who hate President Bush, I have a message: Get over it.
Now let's work together for the good of the country."

You're right, we are going to get over it for the good of the country. It will be the biggest landslide in history. Mcain will lose.

So - McCain would not be seen ANYWHERE with Bush … he has enough to deal with already - He would sooner do a photo-op with Ahmadinejad —

The great thing for Barack is that there are plenty of pictures of John and George together already .. hopefully he will use these to his advantage …

No third term for Bush - Elect Obama!!

IT WILL BE A LANDSLIDE!!!!! The 1st black Pres, and it will be the widest margins in history! Read these posts, that gives you an idea of American anger for what has been done to our country be these people. Bush has caused an American disaster and Mccain wants to continue it. Just keep doing what you're doing and soon we can try to forget about you, because you will be gone.

IT WILL BE AN ABSOLUTE LANDSLIDE !!

Same George W. Bush who let Karl Rove do push polling about mccains black daughter in 2000? McCain should be ashamed of himself for being friends with people like George W. Bush and Karl Rove.

who cares if they appear together…. they're like brothers and sisters… old, tired out people

Hey… Remember this song?

They look-alike… They talk alike.. They want our Kids to Die alike…

They act alike… They whine alike… At times they even Lie alike…

You could loose you're mind…

Because they're cousins… They're two of a kind…

Hurl, Barff. Puke…

Marc PDX-

It is obvious to all who read your replies you are insanely jealous of Barack Obama!!! Therapy could help, although I do believe meds might be in order. Good luck with your unhealthy obsession!

can we use this same picture when they're shipped to gitmo for war crimes?

The same McCain who is voting lockstep with the Bush administration 95% of the time.

OK people, try this one. When they are on TV, close your eyes and try to guess which one is talking, Bush or McCain….

I swear, it's like choosing between Coke and Pepsi!!

What difference does it make? They have the same disasterous economy and Iraq police .

brothers til the end……

Of course they have to appear together.

They are one and the same. Bush for McCain.

HEY MCCAIN WHAT HAPPEN TO YOUR PHOTO OPP.ON THE OIL RIGG 1. THE WEATHER I THINK HURRICANE DONNA HAD OTHER PLANS 2. OH A LITTLE THING CALLED A OIL SPILL ONLY 400.000 GALLONS INTO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IN LOUISIANNA YOU WERE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW SAFE OIL WAS WERE YOU? I THINK IT'S GOD YOU PISS HIM OFF PLEASE STOP IT FOR EVERYBODY'S SAKE

Bush and McCain arm-in-arm at the GOP convention would save Obama millions of $$ in campaign advertising costs. Icing on the cake for a McBush LOSS on election day.

They are two gerkins, in my opinion — sour and green (with envy). Two men who benefited from legacy/affirmative action in the military and school. Wow. They didn't see a meritocracy taking over. These men are two fools thinking their daddies would save them till the end. What a sad but fateful American story.

Go OBAMA - symbol of hard work and true American spirit.

Lets see, he is going to speak on Labor Day,I am sure that everyone that has worked there butts off this year trying to keep their heads above water will be glued to the TV to watch this idiot that put us were we are.I am sure McSenile will be at home barbecuing for that press person that showed up for him in New Hamshire. I guess this is one good plan that the McSenile campaign has done right , bury Bush's appearance on the holiday . Obama 08 Connie from Indiana

Who cares McCain's shadow is Bush and vice versa. Whenever McCain speaks with lack of substance sound as Bush. The credit McCain gave to Bush for lower price of oil, Bush attributed to "the wall street got drunk" comment. What a mess!!! Enjoy

Yes please, let them confirm they are 2 of a kind if they would still wish to emphasize what everybody knows already.
Let these 2 make one another happy if they wish so. Who cares?
That's not what it is about, ye bunch'a out-of-touch losers: you should have made US happy !!

Obama 08 - Obama 12

It would be an honor to have President Bush appear with John McCain. To be honest…George Bush….although I have disagreed with him at times…has done a very commendable job as President. You can thank the lame Democrat Congress for absolutely nothing. Shame on the Democrats!

BUSH = McCAIN

The librarian who was recently arrested for holding up this sign at a recent McCain appearance had it right on the nose!

Why can't people see that these two men are the same person. America can not survive another 4 years of Bush policies.
McCain is no different from Bush…just more of the same.

hey texas trail dog. suck it up. the GOP is a joke. and fyi, congress is democrat. once we get our democrat president in, there will be nothing the GOP can do but watch and cry. SORRY

mccain worse than bush

Bush = War in Iraq; torture; faltering economy; maltreatment of returning soldiers

McCain = Bush

Therefore, McCain = War in Iraq; torture; faltering economy; maltreatment of returning soldiers

Bush = McCain

Well said, "Texas Trail Dog".

I wish the Obamites would think of some original material besides the usual "Mc" isms, age-ism, and their little rants.

If you want a good laugh, watch Obama stammer and stutter his way through an explanation of what he said about sitting down with Iran's leaders. No wonder that this empty suit will not agree to a townhall with McCain. McCain will slaughter him in a debate.

Please, oh please let Bush appear with McCain. I mean, McCain has the election already won, in his mind. What could Bush possibly do to make things worse for the republicans? Let George put his arm around McCain on stage at the convention, smile that stupid smile of his, and pledge his undying support for his good buddy. Dumb and dumber……side by side!

I think USA gonna get punked again by the republican party the same way they did in 2000 and 2004…..gas price is very high, the economy is at its worst moment, we have a seating president saying wall street is drunk, our foreign policy is viewed the worst around the world and all McCain is talking about is winning the war in Iraq. I think the only policy McCain has in his agenda is engaging the USA in nothing else but more war,war and war. His only agenda is to follow orders from his boss Bush, wake up people if we don't stand up right now we gonna lose this country even more, things gonna sink deeper and deeper. We need to stand up for something or we going to fall for anything.

OBAMA 2008
OBAMA 2012

YES WE CAN.
SI SE PUEDE.
OUI NOUS POUVONS.
OUI NOU KAPAB.

The RNC is in trouble. For one, not alot of Conservative voters even Like McCain. He wants to doubleup on the failed policies of Bush that put us in the mess we are in now.

And Ron Paul will be protesting with I've heard either 100,000 or 200,000 People. This has got to be VERY interesting. Ron Paul supporters refuse to vote for McCain. Other conservatives are going for Bob Barr.

Obama will win in a landslide, it's only a matter of time.

Could somebody, anybody, please tell me what Senator John McCain's IQ is? What Self Professed Intelligent Politician today would be caught Dead at a public function of any description with the current President? And could any intelligent human being truly expect a joint appearance with Dubyah would garner votes as the Republican Nominee???? If Senator McCain is that far out of touch with reality he has no business running as Nominee. If Dubyah's record is not enough proof for McCain, San Francisco residents formed a group soliciting support to have a Sewage Plant named after Bush. Does it get any clearer than that?? Sorry but I'm just astonished that a supposed to be intelligent politician could be so ??????? Naive?

Uncle Sam…get over hating Bush….lets unite. Sounds like BS to me for a man that brought this country to it's knees in a short 8 years. That is one of his "accomplishments" you Republicans can be "proud" of…along with the deaths of thousands of our son's and daughters in his war for "oil", a sunk economy, the US pretty much HATED around the globe…..yeah lets get over it.LOL!!

Looking at this picture it seems that Bush also has been tortured in Nam,.. he can't raise his arm higher than the Mack's….huh.??

Hopefully they can wear name tags so we'll know which one it is that's mis-speaking.

Oh wait, Bush is the one with a timeline and is willing to talk to the Iranians and Koreans.

Thing 1 & Thing 2

I will never vote for Barack Obama. He changes far too much! I don't want his excuses and political pandering, I want straight talk. (no pun intended) I might vote for McCain, but I doubt it. Four years with Obama in the White House will make me become Republican.

SMART voters know McCain WILL BE A THIRD Bush term, Bush will be working behind the scenes.

President Bush, jr and sr, have done the USA a great service. We owe them a lot of thanks. Geroge Bush will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents because of the wonderful job he has done on the war on terror. Not only did he have to fight our enemy, he had to fight the Democrats at the same time. He has made great decisions and kept our country safe.

That more than Bill Clinton and the Democrats can say.

Now it time to elect another great man, John McCain.

McCain 08

Texas trail dog…you sound like a typical white racist christian….face it…there's more than a slim chance you're going to have a BLACK president….OBAMA in 08

It would probably be better if McCain and Bush didnt stand next to each. They are so much alike in so many ways that it is hard to tell the difference.

Bush + McCain = McBush

hahaahhah dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aww…What a lovely couple, McBush and Bush! OUCH!

We caught the BOY reference Texas Trail Dog. No wonder you dont have the courage to post your real name. We have a name for you here in NYC but I cant post it. You allowed it CNN - lets see if you allow my answer back.

Please Please George get on stage with McWar.

Give him a big hug and shake hands so everyone can get enough pictures…

PRICELESS

BUSH should have been impeached for so many reasons and people really think that McCain is really help America and the world around us?

people need to see with their eyes not their political views sometimes

this country is in debt with the same old government

It is nice to see McCain getting media attention - the more he gets it the worst off his campaign is for the attention. I am not sure why he doesn't want to be seen with Bush he mirrors his policies they are one in the same…. Does this mean he doesn't want to be seen with himself? That is sad….. McCain needs to throw up the white flag and surrender….

Must be a real liberal high to run a website devoted to the lefty heavy thinkers that only pat each other on the back for sharing their animosity and hate for Bush and Mc Cain!

I wonder who Obama will have with him at the convention. John "I voted for the resolution before I voted against it" Kerry, perhaps. I would have to say the Republicans win on that front.

They should let McBush and Bush stand together. They are two peas in a pod anyway…

THEY SHOULD APPEAR TOGETHER, THEY ARE BOTH MADE FROM THE SAME MOLD. NEITHER HAS ENOUGH WISDOM TO BE IN THE POSITION THEY ARE IN. LET BUSH GO HOME TO TEXAS AND CUT HIS BRUSH AND LET MC CAIN GO HOME TO ARIZONA AND SPEN SOME OF HIS WIFE'S MILLIONS.

POOR LAURA!

…do they think the voters are too dumb to realize this…

I just love the blogs from Republicans. They sound mad at progressives for how messed up this administration has made America. How can you Republicans even think that putting McCain in office will make things better. Why would you want any Republican become president? If McCain wins, it will really brand your party after four more years of this, and might mean that it will be decades before another Republican becomes president. That is if we don't completely collapse as a great nation. Be glad that Obama or any other demacrat wants to tackle this utter mess that Bush has left.

Bush? Does he still matter?

What will they talk about at the Republican convention? A failed war. A failed domestic and international policy? Failed health care? Rising unemployment? The dollar destroyed? Our reputation around the world in the toilet? So much to be proud of the past 8 years! LOL This will be fun to watch.

Bush is the lightning rod for all things that people dislike about the way Republicans have run the country. In general, except for a few terminally stupid people like Rush Limbaugh, everyone is very much anxious to see the Republicans take their exit. it doesn't matter if Bush and McCain are seen together or not. They're both toast.

It's pretty sad that these two guys don't want to really be seen together. Says a lot about how hosed up the country is right now, when two conservatives from the same party don't want to appear together.

Great news! The more people see McCain with Bush, the worse MCain will look. The US and the world hate Bush. He might be the most hated man on the planet.

It's the circle of life! Out with old(the very old!) and in with the new!!! Peace is patriotic!!! Go Obama!!

Your guess is as good as mine CNN.. It does not matter… It will be a complete 180. Under McCain… The Patriaque….

The snobbish, boring Republicans are so stupid that they still do not phathom the utter distaste that most Americans have for Bush and their parties' programs and policies. The Republican party has set back the U.S.A. for decades. They have literally sold out the U.S. to the Chinese and Middle East and are much bigger terror threats than Al Quaeda ever was. Additonally, whenever I see or hear a Republican that a Republican is giving or going to give a speech, I stay as far away as possible lest I get tainted.

I am just counting the days until these twits are forever OFF MY RADAR SCREEN. I just can't wait. President Obama - breath of fresh air - a great big brain and a big dose of charisma to go with it. Just can't wait. Can we move the election up to tomorrow PLEASE???

Oh please let them be seen together, it only helps more people realize how alike they are. No more Bush, and No McBush ever!

Those two must have been the inspiration behind Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum. I say trot them out there together on stage and have Bush kiss McCain on top of the head again……that was a great moment in history.

Frick & Frack. Mutt & Jeff. Dumb & Dumber. Bevis & Butthead. Ralph & Ed. What a team. Old & Older. What a joke the republicans are. Blinded by hate.
Obama08

Aw, they are so cute together.

MCCAIN=BUSH
what's wrong with that???

Bush is a buffoon, and so is John if he campaigns with him. He will be the loneliest candidate on the planet if he hitches his star to this wagon.

Yeehaaaaaaaaaaa, two losers.

If they can manage to scare enough voters into voting for more war to illegally invade, hunt and kill suspicious people then George W(ar) Bush will appear with John McCain. Without the fabricated threat of evil boogey men hiding in darkened doorways and under our beds, it's doubtful they will appear together.

St. Paul is gonna stink to high heaven when the RNC comes to town. I live about a mile from the convention center and we're girding ourselves for sulphur, brimstone and the reek of GOP garbage during their little event. Maybe we'll get lucky and Bush will slip and fall into the Mississippi and get washed up in New Orleans, where all the people he ignored can have a little 'quality time' with our Imbecile-in-Chief.

texastraildog you have some anger issues huh? So you say McCain is his own man huh? Why did he vote with President Bush 95% of the time last year? Why has he flip flopped on Bushs' tax cuts? Why has he flip flopped on offshore drilling? OH and just so you know the DEMOCRATIC party will pick up more seats in the House and Senate so what Senator Obama will want to get done will probably get done. Maybe you're the person McCains former national co-chair Phil Gramm was talking about when he said we are becoming a nation of whiners

Texas Trail Dog! - "McCain is his own man".

What! McCain is his own man? You can't be serious. McCain has been Bush's man ever since Bush has been in office. If McCain were his own man he would have floored Bush after Bush and his campaign slandered and trashed McCain's wife in the 2000 primary in South Carolina. But what does McCain do. Hugs and supports Bush on the convention stage after Bush wins the primary. McCain is his own man? Your definition of a man is sure different then mine.

***************************************

REALLY SAD IF SHOWING UP WITH THE INCUMBENT IS A GREAT LIABILITY.

WHO EVER VOTED TO BUSH/CHENEY WAS DECEIVED.

STOP THE MADNESS. VOTE OBAMA.

Oh please let them be seen together, it only helps more people realize how alike they are. No more Bush, and No McBush ever!

Texas Trail Dog
You areworst then McCain, everything you said has nothing to do with Obama being his own man. You and your cheap shots.
Obama is not being lead by his wife, he is a strong man with a strong woman. I’m sure you have know idle what that looks like. Next time you want say something about President Obama please comes up with something concrete and not cheap shots. Something real and not something lame. You make the rest of the McCain fan’s look even more stupid then you guys already do!

President Bush will address the Republican National Convention on its first night.That's ok Mr bush is cool at least you know where he stands… he attends Church …..McCain try to hook with all the Evangelicals to get votes..Wonder if he fellowship any where !!!………..Please don't let Phil Gramm Speak oh my I can remember it like Yesterday ……..You Guys Remember I can't stand to Talk about it mess up my day just thinking about it

This relationship sounds like the Luther Vandross song, "If only for one night"

I WON'T TELL A SOUL
NO ONE HAS TO KNOW
IF YOU WANT TO BE TOTALLY DISCREET
I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT

This must be a private affair. This stuff keeps getting better and better. Thanks for the material McSame!!!

They are fraternal twins and are inseparable

HIS MASTER BUSH WILL CALL AND HE WILL ANSWER THAT HOW HE HAS BEEN TRAINED !!!!!!!!

I thought McCain just accredited Bush with lowering oil prices. Why wouldn't these two want to be seen together? Two peas in a pod.

I don't get all you libs out there. McCain should be honored to stand next to a great president like George Bush. He will be remembered as one of the true greats!!

FOUR MORE YEARS!

A picture says a thousands words.

The DNC should run an Obama ad with this picture ONLY. No sound, no music, just silence for about 15 or 20 seconds. . . well, maybe they can use a couple of crickets in the background making noise.

Can you imagine the field day the late night talk show hosts will have with the republican convention? One guy cant read the teleprompter and the other guy cant find it.Why dont they have Rush Limbaugh deliver the keynote address?
How would you like to be the person introducing Bush at the Republican convention?Lets see them whoop it up for the big guy right in front all voters in this country showing everyone what they stand for.

Doesn't matter. Why??

Cause there cousins, Identical cousins all the way.
Two pair of matching bookends, the same all the way!!!

Republicans should hide their faces after the last eight years. This administration has been the worst in my lifetime, and that goes back to FDR. The selfishness,lying, corruption, warmongering by chicken hawk republicans, and so much more. Shame on you who voted for Bush/Cheney.

An appearance by Bush equals the Kiss-of-Death.

Why not just bring in the mafioso to plant a kiss on the cheek of McCain?

And Bill Clinton will address the DNC… with Barack Obama at his side (completely overshadowed!)… in Mile High Stadium… ("We are NOT overbudget!"… that's something you'll hear all the time with Barack in office… LOL!)

Lesley, that tells me that they are seeing each other secretly. A private relationship.

Rumor has it that the McCain campaign desperately wants Bush to appear with Obama! If not Bush, Cheney.

They dont have to be seen together for everyone to know they are joined at the hip.

Who cares, RNC / Bush, no one will be listening! We are just waiting patiently for Obama!

HEY , BUSHWACK ASK MCSHAME DID HE RETURN ALL THE $28,000 DOLLARS, EMBEZZLER CRAIG BERKMAN DONATED TO HIS CAMPAIGN THIS YEAR, THEY JUST FOUND CRAIG BERKMAN GUILTY!!!!!

He should, they are twins. North carolina gov. can't tell them apart.

I see Bush and McBush in the photo. Please help me and tell me which one is which.

who cares

I wish I had something witty to say…twiddle dee and twiddle dum

Lesley - No, what does it tell us. if you have nothing to say then please don't make comments. McCain is his own man has been his own man and will continue to be his own man. Unlike Obama, who will be the BOY of, Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Kerry, Dean, Byrd and etc of the DNC. He can not affect change unless it meets the approval of these MANY, MANY, MANY COMBINED YEARS OF OLD OPPOSITION SITTING IN CONGRESS AND THE SENATE. YOU THINK THEY WON'T HAVE TO APPROVE EVERYTHING OBAMA DOES. THEN THINK AGAIN OBAMA IS NOT HIS OWN MAN. FIRST PLACE HE DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE OF BEING HIS OWN MAN. HE CAN'T DEPEND ON HIS UN-PATRIOTIC WIFE MICHELLE TO TELL HIM WHAT TO DO. MAYBE HE CAN GET SOME INFORMATION FROM REV. WRIGHT AND REV. JACKSON. BUT I THINK HE BURNT HIS BRITCHES WITH THEM ALSO. SO HE'S A LAME DUCK EVEN BEFORE HE TAKES OFFICE.

i'D LIKE TO SUGGEST THE WORDING OF HIS SPEECH:
"D d da dib da dib- That's all folks!"
Then he can leave the stage, leave the whitehouse and leave us to sort out his mess.

WHO CARES!!!! The GOP days are numbered!

Obamanation '08

For those who hate President Bush, I have a message: Get over it.
Now let's work together for the good of the country.

Told you: "TWO PEAS IN A POD!"

Two old peas in a pod

Bush's presence with McCain will give more support to Barak Obama!

Obama/Sebelius 08′

DUMB AND DUMBER!!!

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!

BARACK / SEBELIUS 08

Who really cares…..

TWO (2) peas in the same pot "DINKY AND DOO DINKY"
SO YESTERDAY

McCain won't be in attendance. He'll be in Czrekoslovakia.

Both of these self serving, ancient thinking, elitest, old men spell nothing but trouble for the Republican cause, especially if they appear together.

My guess is… they get bush "out of the way" REALLY early… and hell no…. jonny-mac will NOT be appearing with "the decider"…

(can you imagine the democratic commercials with the two of them hugging it out on the convention stage, with chants of "four more years")…

will never happen…. that's a democratic strategists wett dream…

How can President Bush show up at the RNC without his shadow?

Who cares?

Why does the media try to turn this into an issue????

Neither of these guys want to be seen with each other. Doesn't that tell you something?
