Trying to remove information from the Internet is like trying to remove pee from a swimming pool.

Let's take a trip on our time machine back to 2000, a more innocent time.  We had a government that was making money and paying down the debt, and the only thing we were arguing about was how to spend that surplus.  George W. Bush won the Republican nomination, and subsequently embarked on a very Ron Paul-esque campaign.  He believed in tax cuts, no nation building.  Bush billed himself as the "moderate republican."  He was against the pointless imperialism that was wasting money.

Then, Bush got into office, and started doing things his own way.  Turned out, he wasn't really against nation-building at all, and launched us into a war far more pointless and expensive than Bosnia could have ever hoped to be.  Sound familiar?  It should to those of us who understood history.  Bush's campaign tactic was identical to that of Richard Nixon in 1968.  Nixon also billed himself as the "moderate republican," the guy who was going to end the Democrat's war in Vietnam.  Like Bush, Nixon had no intention of pulling out, but instead expanded the war into Cambodia.  He introduced bills that had devastating long-term effects on the economy as well as health care.  Nixon ushered in the modern world of Republican hopelessness.  He changed this country from one that is supposed to benefit "We the People" to one benefiting "We the Corporations."

Some, including myself, have called John McCain "Bush II"  I now don't believe that comparison to be accurate.  In my study of history, and my discovery of where "this all" started, it is plainly apparent that George W. Bush is merely Nixon II, making John McCain Nixon III.  It is his legacy that is alive and well in these two politicians, the boy of privilege and the "Maverick" war hero.

Few can argue that Nixon and Bush's presidencies weren't disasters for our nation.  Nixon instituted improper government control over health care with his bill mandating HMO's be offered by all employers.  He ended the gold standard on purely a whim, surprising the economists of the time.  Bush used evidence he knew was faulty and fresh fear over 9/11 to push us into an immoral war with Iraq, costing this nation trillions while turning security of our ports over to an extremist-friendly nation and leaving our border with Mexico almost completely unguarded.

Don't fall for John McCain's "moderate republican" lie.  We've heard it before, and quite frankly, the "moderate Republicans" just haven't done a very good job with this country.
