Comparing Bush and McCain

On Abortion:
In 1999, McCain said of Roe v. Wade, "I'd love to see a point where it is irrelevant, and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary. But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations."

On Medicare:
On April 29, 2008, McCain detailed his health care plan in the context of his campaign for President. His plan focused on open-market competition rather than government funding or control. At the heart of his plan are tax credits - $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for families who do not subscribe to or do not have access to health care through their employer. He says the money could be used to purchase insurance and force insurance companies to be competitive with their costs in order to attract consumers

Iraq:
On January 3, 2008 at a campaign stop in Derry, New Hampshire, when a questioner said, "President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years," McCain responded: "Make it a hundred. We've been in Japan for 60 years, we've been in South Korea for 50 years or so. That'd be fine with me as long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed. That's fine with me. I hope it will be fine with you if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where Al Qaeda is training, recruiting, equipping, and motivating people every single day."

Iran:
McCain has said that "We continue to be concerned about Iranian influence and assistance to Hezbollah as well as Iranian pursuit of nuclear weapons." McCain has also said "the military option cannot be taken off the table" in dealing with Iran, although he sees it as a "last option".

Gay Marriage:
In 2004, McCain voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment, arguing that each state should be able to choose whether to recognize same-sex marriage.
On the Ellen Degeneres Show May 22, 2008, McCain said that people ought to be able to enter "legal agreements...particularly in the case of insurance and other areas", but that the "unique status of marriage" should be retained between a man and a woman." (Jay notes: Well, you can't win 'em all...)

The rest of it is available here: Wikipedia (with sources cited) Not saying that linking a candidate to an incumbent president with a 30% approval rating is a blatant attempt at character assassination, but.... well, it's interesting to note that John McCain is referred to as "Mr. John McCain" throughout the article while Barak Obama is referred to as "Senator Barak Obama". Last time I checked, both men deserved the honorarium title of Senator.

And I thought my humor was pretty poor... At least I'm one up on somebody :)

The destruction of Social Security for my generation

You can actually blame congress for that one, it was turning a profit so they put it into general funds. I think it was the democrats that year (mid to late 60's) Guess they never thought it'd be needed in the future. And the major parties in congress used future social security funds in the late 70's through mid 80's as collateral for debts.

Tax cuts for the super-rich

Maybe one day they'll go with a flat tax without deductions 15% of $20,000 is $3000 15% of a million is $150,000
Sounds kinda fair to me.... with all those deductions out there a person making a million can get away with paying far less... Oh, forgot to mention that both parties are responsible for all those deduction they can get away with. It's called lobbyists...
