Senator John McCain has aggressively tried to distance himself from Bush in an effort to avoid being tagged by Democrats as running for Bush’s third term. However, as Think Progress notes, McCain’s chief surrogate, Senator Lindsey Graham, did not adhere to that message during his appearance on ABC’s This Week, with George Stephanopoulos.
Stephanopoulos asked Sen. Graham if McCain’s tax and healthcare policies are essentially “an extension or maybe an enhancement of the Bush policies.” Sen. Graham answered, “Yeah, absolutely.”
