Bearded Bruce wants me to support this assertion, I am happy to but I don't want to hog all the fun for myself. I will just point out the two most obvious points of convergence and let others pitch in if they wish.

1. He is running on the platform of continuing Bush's position on Iraq. He goes so far at to take credit for the current tactic called the "surge" which is causing so much distress for so many of our military families. As a continuation of the President's military stance McCain is OPPOSING the updating of the GI Bill.

2. He running on is continuing Bush's Tax Cuts. Tax cuts he opposed when the "straight talk express" talked much straighter.
