Protesters greet "McBush" in Mesa, Phoenix

Source: Arizona Capitol Times

Hundreds of people stood behind a barricade of police officers to see a security convoy scurry President Bush into a west Mesa manufacturing facility on May 27 before kicking off a three-day fundraising tour for Sen. John McCain.

It wasn't a warm reception by any means. And a private gathering in Phoenix later that afternoon - the president's first official campaign appearance for McCain - drew an equally cold response from protestors who carried signs with messages such as "McBush - No Third Term."

"It is time we as American citizens stand up against this president," said Kathy Romano, 61. "And we need to stand against a favored son who stands with this president, too."

The scene was probably much different inside the Mesa-based Silverado Cable Co. where Bush spoke. The crowd was no doubt made up of Bush supporters and GOP loyalists, as the venue was chosen because the business reaped the benefits of Bush's tax cuts. But it's difficult to know for certain because both events were closed to the media, and Bush and McCain's only public appearance was a short photo op at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport before Bush boarded Air Force One.

Bush won the popular vote last time. We couldn't defeat Bush so what makes people think we can defeat McCain by calling him Bush?

People should have learned that you win elections by being FOR something. That's why Obama is so popular. He's the first Democratic nominee in a long time to have a clear vision of what he's for other than not being a Republican.

the bushes can't help but step in symbols of their own shit, they have so much of it spread around...

Because they didnt get enough people to go to this crap....
:woohoo: :woohoo:

How funny, hardly anyone wanted to go......

If the only people who hear it are a small group of already converted loyalists? Isn't the purpose of campaigning to get the word out and convince people?

That sounds like a Hatch Act violation to me - use of official government resources for political purposes.

little bits like "McBUSH"....short, simple, catch, are exactly what 'won' the last two elections for the nazoids, as well as for Poppy.

it's the only thing they do well, besides lie and kill and steal.
