Anyone but Bush or Bush-lite
I want nothing to do with Neo-cons. They are black eye on the face of conservatism. They're like the obnoxious and embarrassing big brother you spend your time trying to have your friends avoid.

When I mention something about Obama, you bring up Bush. We spent 8 years of Bush-hating and Bush-bashing. His time is up. It's over. Much of his debacles are beyond disrepute, so bringing them up again only confirms what we already knew. Right now we are discussing Obama, and whether he is a good candidate for the presidency.
​
The neo-cons have and probably will continue to dominate the Republican party. As such, I view the Republican party to be near terminally corrupt, and to be restricted in any way possible. My position has changed from "anyone but Bush" to pretty much "anyone but a Republican". I would have loved to have had McCain as president, rather than GWB. But now I do think Obama is in the best position to best counter the damage of the Bush 8 years.

Re: Anyone but Bush or Bush-lite
He [McCain] had that mindset for over 40 years. But he is involved in a political race to win.
​
Alas, he is a prisoner of a corrupt Republican party. What might well be the "true McCain" could not get the Republican nomination.
​
I must wonder where he would be running, if we had a system (instant run-off?) where a third party candidate was a practical option?
