Reply #2: he doesn't respect mccain

[JABBS]

Bush allowed his men on the ground in South Carolina to suggest McCain was a Manchurian candidate (while also claiming that the McCain's adopted girl from Bangladesh was a love child with a black NYC prostitute).

McCain, for the sake of his own presidential future, looked the other way and allowed himself to be used during the 2004 presidential race as a prop to be kissed on the forehead. McCain lost a lot of respect from the left side of the aisle by temporarily being a Bush apologist last year.

Now, once again, we see that McCain and Bush don't see eye to eye. (And this is just one of several issues). McCain may not be a liberal, but he is an independent voice in the Republican Party, and that's why some liberals hold him in high regard.)
