...McCain's Bush Problem Though James Carney adequately highlights the personal rivalry between President George W. Bush and McCain, his reference to McCain's divergence from Bush on policy issues is dramatically overstated [July 28]. While McCain's previous vocal opposition to Bush's agenda has secured him the "maverick" label, his Senate record has followed the party line on almost every major issue except tax cuts (a position he has since reversed) and torture.

That’s when I turned to look at her fellow protesters...
...During the 2004 presidential election, he seemed to toy with using his new influence to become the next Jerry Falwell or James Dobson. Although he did not officially endorse George W. Bush, the mega-author made no secret of his preference. Two weeks before the election, he sent an e-mail to the several hundred thousand pastors on his mailing list, enumerating "non-negotiable" issues for Christians to consider when casting their votes: abortion, stem-cell research, gay marriage, euthanasia and human cloning. Shortly after the election, two attendees of a Washington meeting of conservative religious and political heavyweights remember...
