So McCain is running against his own party - what does he want change from?
so many people are gullible. They think he will be some sort of bandage to fix the GOP?

we cannot let him get away with this. The pressure must be kept up to emphasise McCain IS a part of the GOP's failure. This must be repeated over and over.

McCain must leave the GOP if he wants change? But he represents corrupt Washington with his corrupt past, the Keating 5, covering up for Abramoff etc.

McCain and Palin also promotes the agenda of far right, PNAC, with their pseudo/Orwellian war on terror and their craving for world domination.

1. He wants to change from Bush to himself.
If he knew better, he'd know he was part of the problem. He knows he'd like to be president. Why? I dunno. I'd only want to be president if I could be making peoples lives better and improving the status of my country in the world. He just seems to think, "Maybe I could be Commander-in-Chief. Then I'd be in charge of the whole military. Neat. I'll fix the world by threatening it. Then I might help industry at expense of labor and belittle some actual reforms or people trying to help. And then I'll rob from the poor to give to the rich. Double-neat. I'm so Reagan, I scare me."

2. Even more specific, from the Republican party of the last 8 years.
So McCain wants to divorce himself fine, this is my ?, from what? What specifically were the failures? What specifically will be changed. Until McCain and Repubs answer the questions it is just political rhetoric.
