Bush Plans Active Campaign Role For GOP

President Will Help McCain Raise Money Late This Month; White House Won't Specify Expected Role

(AP)  President Bush will help Republican John McCain raise money later this month in Arizona. Beyond that, the White House isn't saying how much the two will campaign together.

The White House on Monday sidestepped a question about how much Bush will campaign with McCain but said the president would actively hit the trail in support of Republican candidates despite his low approval ratings and questions about whether his presence would help or hurt the likely GOP nominee.

"The president believes very strongly that, if we get out and take our message to voters, that we can be successful," said White House spokesman Scott Stanzel.

Bush, who has not been with McCain since a Rose Garden event on March 5, will appear with the Arizona senator at a fundraiser May 27 in Phoenix.

Asked at the daily White House news briefing whether one could expect to see a lot of Bush and McCain together, Stanzel said: "I think you'll see the president out on the campaign trail quite a bit. We'll keep you posted on their events that they may have together."

McCain's Democrats rivals, Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, have argued that a McCain administration would amount to a third Bush term.

Bush and McCain, bitter rivals in the 2000 GOP primary contest, had a lighthearted exchange about Bush's role in March, when McCain received the president's endorsement in the Rose Garden.

Bush offered to do whatever helped the most - campaign with McCain or stay away.

McCain declared himself "honored and humbled" to receive Bush's endorsement. He said he'd "be glad to have the president with me in any part of America ... as much as is keeping with his busy schedule."

As to Bush's low approval ratings, Stanzel noted, "it would be interesting to note the approval rating of Congress, as well, which is lower."

In the latest Associated Press-Ipsos poll last month, 28 percent approved of the job Bush is doing, his lowest rating ever in the survey. Just 23 percent gave the Democratic-controlled Congress a positive grade.

As Clinton''s campaign chairman said something like "Bush has done a lot to unify the Democratic party...". Voters will remember what a disaster his 8 years have been and how much damage they have done to the country. If that does not bring over people in the middle, I do not know what will.

John McCain is the only cannidate that will fufill our presidents war on islam. What we need in these endtimes is a good strong anti-libaral, non-hippie who holds true to the word of our lord. I really hope WHEN McCain becomes president he lives up to the republican platform and ends abortion, criminalizes gay *** and marrage and stops de-regulashion. We need to invade andor nuke iran and all these terriorists before its too late. This is exacly what the bible pridected would happen if the world fell away from his word. Armogeddon is close at hand we must stop them as a global force and unite christians and live as the word would tell us. and wage war against the non-beilevers and democarats and libarals.

I feel compelled to respond to your post. Man, you are one scary mofo. It is this kind of thinking (?) that should send chills down everyone''s back. It is hard to believe what you have said here. To actually be excited by the potential destruction of millions and millions of lives is just unthinkable. If you are looking to be feared you have achieved your objective. Just to know there are people like you out there walking the streets makes my skin crawl. And the sad part is that I know there are more than just you. How can you call yourself a "Christian" and go around spouting this kind of filth? I would like to think that you are just some dorky kid looking to get a reaction but your writing sounds to adult. You are one sick basstard and I hope you get some kind of help before you kill innocent people.

Good, Bush can continue to dig the hole even deeper than he already has.

No matter who the Democratic candidate is, I predict that McCain will lose by one of the largest percentages ever.

[harrydoghiny]

Please, Mr. President, hug your pal McCain at every campaign stop. Please, please, please...

[realpatriot1]

Bush needs to play an active role in something. His role as leader of the free world is no longer believable. His role as the financial steward of the nation never was.

He should play a more active role in al anon.

[greatdrivew]

Well, this is simply another example of McCain''s double-talk.

Out of one side of his mouth he cites minor differences between him and Dubya as proof that he''s not running for Bush''s third term.

Then out of the other side his mouth, he and Bush [albeit rarely together] advance the GOP/neo-con agenda for the war, economy, NAFTA, health care, energy, domestic investment, education, military industrial complex and tax breaks for the rich.

Four more years of the Bush/Cheney/neo-con agenda?

No thanks!!

It''s time to take a stand.

It''s time for a change.
