Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney accused rival John McCain of adopting to Nixon- like tendencies. His charges stem from McCain's claims that Romney has a timetable set up for the withdrawal of troops in Iraq. In other words he is accusing Ronmey of siding with the democrats ideas and views of the war. McCain made this charge during the Florida primary before Romney could rebut and went on to win the state. Romney claimed that this kind of campaigning "was reminiscent of the Nixon era"..Oooh. Well of course when infamous names such as Nixon get thrown into the mix people start talking.... Former House speaker Dennis Hastert of Illinois chimed in reminding folks of the Keating Five savings-and-loan scandal that McCain and four other senators were involved in. Tsk Tsk.
Romney said that his references to Nixon were not attacks on McCain's integrity, "I think he's a man of character" But he added, "I think he took a sharp detour off the Straight-Talk Express" (which is the name of McCain's tour bus)...Ha! Republicans are so corny.
