2. Change has always been
a popular mantra to run on, Bush did it in 2000, Clinton did the same in 92. Seeing as how change is hard to narrow down much, McCain would indeed be a change from Bush, simply due to differant name at the top of the ticket. Policy-wise we know better obviously, but change is not a hard threshold to meet apparently. Repubs have been trying to pretend like it was the Nazi Socialist party running the country for the past 8 years, but even some lifelong conservatives are calling them on their bullshit

3. It was the Republican Nazi Socialist party
And all those throwing Bush under the bus probably voted with him "90% of the time."

4. Well, as Countdown
pointed out last night, having Bush as a guest of honor for your campaigning in the Senate was the "in" thing to do among Conservatives in 2002, good ol' boy Mitch was a particularly active repub with having a habit of making appearances with Bush to help get elected, and now hes running as an 'independant fiscal conservative,' yet he still receives financing and ads from the dreaded RNC
