But Now You Know

…Then Why Did They Hate Bush and McCain?

I am puzzled by those few remaining people who defend Obama adamantly…because most of them claimed to hate Bush.

And yet, of course, in policy Obama is just Bush III:

Bush = Obama

• Bush had a massive “stimulus package” that used Keynesian/socialist theory to try to “help” the economy. McCain voted for it.
• Obama voted for it. Obama followed up with a second “stimulus package” of his own.

• Bush expanded the war in Iraq with a Surge, while gradually drawing things down in Afghanistan, pretending they were getting better. McCain supported him.
• Obama is expanding the war in Afghanistan with a Surge, while gradually drawing things down in Iraq, pretending they are getting better.

• Bush expanded socialized health care entitlements more than ever before in US history, with the prescription drug benefit. McCain voted for it.
• Obama is trying to expand socialized health care entitlements more than ever before in US history.

• Bush responded to each natural disaster by throwing money at it.
• Obama is responding to each natural disaster by throwing money at it.

• Bush bailed out the banks, and expanded regulations on them.
• Obama bailed out the banks, and is expanding regulations on them, using the Bush plan.

• Bush protected the unions while the car companies were trying to file bankruptcy, including a massive bailout.
• Obama protected the unions while the car companies filed bankruptcy, after including a massive bailout.

• Bush kept Guantanamo open, and “tried” people held for a year or more without trial, in secret military tribunals.
• Obama is keeping Guantanamo open, and is “trying” people held for a year or more without trial during his own administration, in secret military tribunals.

• Bush passed the USA PATRIOT Act to grant himself police-state powers in violation of the Constitution
• Obama refused to rescind, or allow to expire, the USA PATRIOT Act police state powers that violate the Constitution

McCain = Obama

• McCain proposed a trillion-dollar global warming tax/trade scheme in 2007
• Obama proposed a trillion-dollar global warming cap / trade scheme in 2009

• McCain opposed drilling in the Antarctic and off the coast of Florida in 2007
• Obama opposed drilling in the Antarctic and off the coast of Florida, in 2007 and today.

• McCain censored political speech in the name of “campaign reform” with McCain/Feingold
• Obama is fighting to censor political speech in the name of “campaign reform” against the the Supreme Court

• McCain supports amnesty for illegal aliens
• Obama supports amnesty for illegal aliens

• McCain promised to never overturn Roe v Wade
• Obama promises to never overturn Roe v Wade

• McCain wanted to undo the Bush “tax cuts”
• Obama wants to undo the Bush “tax cuts”

• McCain voted for massive new penalties and liabilities for tobacco companies
• Obama wants massive new penalties and liabilities for tobacco companies

• McCain voted for massive new penalties and liabilities for gun companies, and restrictions on gun shows
• Obama wants massive new penalties and liabilities for gun companies, and restrictions on gun shows

What on earth was their problem with Bush and McCain?

Maybe they’re just racist against white people…
