To understand the candidates, understanding who their "advisors" are. John McCain is backed by the neoconservatives. That should be all you have to know. If it isn't, then you haven't been paying attention.
Bush did not destroy the Republican Party -- the liberal Israel-firsters who moved from the Democratic Party into the Repubican Party and called themselves "Neoconservatives" did. The founders were Irving Kristol and Norman Podhoretz. The Weekly Standard is neoconservatism's mouthpiece. The neoconservatives wrote the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) calling for ongoing wars for Israel. Christian Science Monitor's artical calls them "The Empire Builders."
The Internet is filled with information on the Neoconservatives. Start with Kevin MacDonald's article at VDARE which links with many more; read Mearsheimer & Walt's Israel Lobby at the London Review of Books website.

And don't forget: where McCain goes, Joe Lieberman goes -- that, you can bet on.
