"That has nothing to do with whether he diverges from Bush's policy."

Sure it does. Don't just make stuff up.

"For example, McCain was pushing for more troops and a "surge" long before Bush was ready to be on board with this."

Right. When the Democrats were saying the same thing. We didn't have enough troops there in the beginning. But, that was then.

" But Bush is far more conservative than McCain by most people's estimation. Neither is extreme, but McCain is certainly thought of as a liberal conservative."

Right. But, like his support of a woman's right to choose, he got that image before he decided to run for president. He has changed his position on a number of issues and has aligned himself strongly with Bush.

"The claim that McCain is "like" Bush is valid only from the perspective of a liberal "

No, it is from observing the way he has changed his stance on issues. You are right, once it was different. But that was then, this is now.
