It is simply dishonest to say that mccain would be another bush for numerous reasons, this should get it started:
What should McCain do about Cheney? - Yahoo! News
Hes a highly effective fundraiser in an election cycle in which Republicans are starved for cash, a hero to the wing of the party that views John McCain with the most suspicion. He has four decades of campaign experience, ranging from a short stint running Gerald Fords election bid in 1976 to two successful races on the presidential ticket.
Yet despite that pedigree, Vice President Dick Cheney is unlikely to share a stage with McCain anytime soonand may not be called on to play any role at all in the 2008 presidential campaign.
In part, its a reflection of political expediency. Though Cheney is one of the nations most influential and talked about vice presidents ever, his favorability ratings are near toxic lows.
But Cheney and McCain also have had a rocky relationship.
They have clashed publicly and privately during the Bush years on matters ranging from the treatment of terrorist detainees to former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Most recently, theyve been on opposite sides on the idea of a gas tax holiday and on a Cheney-backed energy bill.
