Who has taken a stronger position against assault weapons?
Bush. He said he’d sign a ban on assault weapons. But McCain opposes the assault weapons ban (!). • Q: Who promised that U.S. troops would be greeted as “liberators” in Iraq? A: McCain. (Dick Cheney said that, too. In fact, McCain is more of a Bush-Cheney hybrid. This is a pretty scary thought.) • Q: Who went on a nationwide speaking tour trying to convince Americans to privatize our Social Security? A: Both Bush and McCain. The idea proved unpopular with, well, basically everyone in America. • Q: Even after the public and Congress rejected the idea, who is still pushing to privatize our Social Security? A: McCain. Bush finally gave up. (And when Bush gives up on a bad idea, you know it’s REALLY bad.) • Q: Who said “the issue of economics is something that I’ve never really understood as well as I should”? A: McCain (perhaps channeling Bush?) • Q: While running for president, who called himself a “different kind of Republican” and promised bipartisan cooperation? A: Bush. Ahh, the ’90s
