Bush a McCain liability?

    Looks like Bush isn't helping John McCain much as the RNC fundraises for the General Election...

    A White House official gave the same explanation as the McCain campaign: “As you know, we have a practice of having fundraisers in public venues as open to press and fundraisers in private residences closed to press to preserve the hosts' privacy. The [McCain campaign’s] practice has been to have all fundraisers be closed. And so a decision was made to move the location to comply with the practices.”

    The Phoenix Business Journal reports that other factors also played a part: “Sources familiar with the situation said the Bush-McCain event was not selling enough tickets to fill the Convention Center space, and that there were concerns about more anti-war protesters showing up outside the venue than attending the fundraiser inside.” ​

    Bush with his record breaking low approval ratings will be a liability to anyone he endorsed. McCain has to live with that I guess and try his best to distance himself while not offending Bush. Quite a hard balancing act to be sure.

    Considering he's more of a lunatic than Bush I would say it's impossible.

    I would say it is a tough match between these two :)

    Bush wins the global prize for stupidity, no doubt at all about that.

    But Insane McWar beats everyone in the world when it comes to insanity.

    How is that funny exactly? Paul was/is the only Republican that makes any sense on any of the issues.

    What does McCain stand for except for four more years of George W. Bush's failed policies?

    They did work in America for over 100 years.

    The problem is, most people today are like you. To shortsighted and insecure to trust in the ability to change things for the better with simpler solutions.

    Bush would be a liability to any Republican candidate in my opinion.
