John McCain Watch: The Blame Game

Sen. John McCain of Arizona chats Wednesday with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on a helicopter tour over Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Times (Via Hugh Hewitt): McCain slams Bush on global warming, Iraq policy

Republican presidential candidate John McCain was anything but subtle Wednesday as he took swipes at the Bush administration during a meticulously staged appearance with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on the bustling docks of Los Angeles Harbor.

President Bush’s record on global warming? “Terrible,” McCain declared. His pursuit of the Iraq war? “A train wreck.”

If the point of the Arizona senator’s visit was to put distance between himself and his party’s unpopular president, McCain was following a pattern set by Schwarzenegger in his reelection campaign. For McCain, the task is especially important because his vocal support for Bush’s recent troop buildup in Iraq threatens a voter backlash.

In what was billed as a nonpolitical event to call for tougher federal action to stop global warming, McCain joined Schwarzenegger for a hazy morning helicopter tour of the Long Beach and Los Angeles ports. The Republican duo flew over the future site of a hydrogen power plant that would pump carbon dioxide into the ground instead of the air

Sounds like the BLAME GAME to Flap. At least McCain did not go this far.

A couple of Flap observations for Senator McCain:

1. Where have you been since President Bush was elected in 2000?

Answer: The United Senate and until January a part of the Senate Majority.

2. You are not running against ultra-Lib Phil Angelides like Arnold but in a primary GOP campaign against peers who take responsibility for THEIR policy decisions.

Can’t vote for you Senator…….
