You can insult Bush all you'd like on this forum and (rightfully) no one will care or be offended. But I attack McCain and everyone bites my head off.

Maybe the War Veteran thing?

Although considering the guy voted 100% of the time this year with Bush you'd think he'd be fair game by now.

Because he's a much better and respectable person than George W. Bush.

If anything I consider Bush more honest, at least he doesn't try to con people like McCain did with that "maverick" nonsense.

Really? A Yale alumni, Connecticut native pretending to be a southern everyman is better?

Didn't you hear? Bush isn't the Republican Party nominee anymore so John McCain is now the evilest man in America until 2012.

The GOP uses the same formula to pick "Most Liberal Senator" when the Democrats nominate a Senator for the Presidency.

Because folks here tend to like McCain more?  Just a possibility for you to consider.

Because most people here aren't idiots like you and hate anyone that shares a different ideology.

Because as a Veteran criticism of him is de facto banned due to Americans idolizing and giving more deference or respect to men who've spent time in foreign countries as hired guns for the federales.(Regardless of the justification of wars that's pretty much what a soldier is regardless of timeperiod or nation they're from)
