What I find funny is that just a day or so ago you were bemoaning such things as avoiding the real issues. Now you are all for them.
As for McCain's connection with Bush
"I have voted with President Bush 90% of the time". Which is not true. it was 95% according to factcheck.org. For the record Obama voted with the President 40% of the time. So who is reaching across the aisle?
Obama said, "It's not change when John McCain decided to stand with George Bush 95 percent of the time, as he did in the Senate last year." and continues to use that tactic. So, is voting for McCain "CHANGE" as his banners say? Must be that 5%.
So, which is the correct one? Questionable "close" ties to a college professor who used to be a nutjob (and may be still), or the fact that McCain has supported Bush's policies 95% of the time. And why are you against McCain being compared to the President who, I assume, you voted for twice? Isn't that a good thing? Being compared to the sitting President?
You said just a day or so ago that we should get to the real issues. Which one is a real issue?
As you have said (and I do agree with you on card check, from the little I know about it, I need to research a bit more) the RNC should be campaigning on the issues. But all they seem to have is Bill Ayers. So what does that say about Obama. That the RNC doesn't think they really have anything else to go on except innuendo? While Obama talks about what McCain has done as recently as during the last year, McCain talks about someone who Obama knew and was on a board with 15 years ago. How much of the RNC ads have been about Ayers?
And as for the Illinois Senate bill, go look again, I don't think he voted against it.
