Yesterday afternoon President Bush endorsed John McCain and said he feels McCain is the best person to take over his job.
Now people are arguing whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. I feel it is moot point that doesn't need to be argued about.
Okay, so Bush has gotten our country into a little bit of a mess, and could go down in history as one of the worst Presidents and a Lame Duck. But Bush is a Republican, of course he is going to endorse the Republican nominee. He is not going to endorse Barack or Hillary. Just because he hasn't been the best President doesn't mean he can't support the Republican nominee. I think if Rudy Guilliani or Mitt Romney was wearing McCain's shoes today, Bush would be behind then too.
The same thing with other politicians. Larry Craig might not come out and publicaly endorse McCain, but you know that he will vote for him in November. Larry Craig solicited gay sex in a men's restroom. Trent Lott will vote for McCain in November. Trent Lott made a racist comment at Strom Thurmond's birthday party. Was it Mark Foley who sent messages to the Congressional pages? He will vote for McCain in November. Dick Cheney shot a man in the FACE. We know this. But I don't think it will reflect bad on McCain.
The same on the Democrat side. Ted Kennedy killed a woman. Kerry and Edwards already lost an election. Bill Clinton did have sexual relations with that woman. Ted Kennedy KILLED A WOMAN! I don't feel that reflects negatively on the candidate they support.
So Bush says that McCain is the best man to clean up his mess. Let 'em. Of course party big shots are going to stand behind their candidate, McCain can choose how to use them.
