Comments on: McCain To Visit Colombia

Ariz. Senator Says He Wants To Show Support For Anti-Drug Efforts, Pending Free Trade Agreement

[mudrose-2009]

McCain has been to Iraq 4 times; he''s been to Canada and now he''s making a trip to support Columbia and their free trade agreements that Pewlosi has in her fat hip pocket because she feels it''s a good campaign issue to fool people into believing that free trade takes jobs away when in essence all she''s doing is making it harder for the little guy to sell his goods abroad because our exports costs us a tariff while our imports are free. But you buy the *********. McCain has been out of the country meeting with heads of state, etc. RamaLama hasn''t been anywhere other than the 57 states he''s campaigning in. Somone mentioned something about 57 states being a Muslim thing too. Our boy is gonna reveal himself ever so soon.

I think McSame is going to Colombia to get a cash infusion from the Cartels.

The Cartels know as long as the War On Drugs is going they will stay rich. And McSame is just the man to deliver that policy for them.

[ramos937]

McCain is making a very dumb move. All he will get is the mushroom treatment which is feed him XXXX and keep him in the dark. The powers-that-be will put on one heck of a dog-and-pony show for him. He will never be expose to the other side of the matter.

[hungry1968]

So he''s pro-Iraq war, pro-NAFTA, pro-big oil, and says that "the market should correct itself" in reference to the housing collapse. And now he''s pro-CAFTA.


AND he''s trying to make the claim that he''s not Bush''s third term?

[mcvet]

Well Why not! Give away a few million more American Jobs... Why shouldn''t our standard of living continue to fall... If this loser is elected folks we will find ourselves closer to competing with the 30 Cent a day labor because or standard of living has fallen that far. Sieg Heil McSame!!

"So who is the world''''s biggest drug peddlar?

Posted by gkc99 at 07:44 AM : Jun 25, 2008"

I think you are unfair with the bomber in chief ... he said he would veto every single beer !!!

[gkc99]

If McCain is so opposed to drugs, maybe he''d better divorce his moneybags wife Cindy.

All her money comes from the sale of one of the most destructive drugs in the world. Alcohol. How many lives has that ruined.

Yet prohibition of alcohol didn''t work any better than prohibition of other drugs is working now.

Not to mention that the federal (and state) governments suck in billions of dollars from the sale of alcohol and tobacco.

So who is the world''s biggest drug peddlar?

I told You A$$ 4 Holes....

I Told You so !!!

Note: %u201CI think when you look at the good sources of information, were we to open up the California coast or the Alaska natural wildlife refuge to drilling, it would be...

Note: 12, 15 maybe 20 years before those resources came online and got to full production.

That%u2019s not going to impact the price of gasoline any time soon.%u201D


"I think it would have an effect, just not a major effect.

The odds are you couldn`t get any significant amounts of crude from coastal areas within the next decade. Offshore rigs, if you want to go get one, tough luck.

They are all leased out.

Even if the infrastructure is there, it would be hard, but the Infrastructure isn`t there...

But markets react to future developments and even if the crude is not flowing, the project itself could have an impact on markets."

But the assertion that offshore drilling could have an impact on oil prices by placating oil speculators is itself a contested proposition.

And some analysts insist that it is wishful thinking that the market would suddenly perk up because of the prospect of more supply.

The Energy Information Administration: Estimated that oil from these sites would hit the market around (2017) and peak around (2027).

Rushing the process would likely only result in less supply. "The faster we try to drain the less efficient the drainage," said Dr. Ralph Byrns, Professor of Economics at UNC-Chapel Hill.

"If we drain it dry and still get 14 billion barrels of oil [the President has suggested 18 billion], that itself would still take 20 years."

[omaar-101]

America`s..

Total Imports of Petroleum Oil (Top 15 Countries)

(Thousand Barrels per Day)

Drill all You want, You can`t produce the Oil these Countries provide, nor will you see a drop in price at the gas pumps. Over 300 Million Americans,

The Demand is Too Great and it will take 7-10 years to bring this Oil on shore, by that time, Gas will be 15 $ per gallon an we`ll be riding Horse & Carriage.


If we were so Oil Rich, why hav`nt the past Presidents of the last 60 years, kept the USA Oil Independent ?

Because of the Over 300 Million USA Oil Supply & Demand..Pompous A$$ Thats Why..The Need & want are Too Great.

What did 2 Term President George Bush Jr. do to Overrule Bill Clinton`s Law against USA OffShore Oil Drilling..

Answer Nothing, When he could have !!

Hey everybody - Bush and Cheney broke the LAW - Imagine that - where is this story on CBS NO NEWS?

WASHINGTON %u2014 Ivy Leaguers and other top law students were rejected for plum Justice Department jobs two years ago because of their liberal leanings or objections to Bush administration politics, a government report concluded Tuesday.

In one case, a Harvard Law student was passed over after criticizing the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. In another, a Georgetown University student who had previously worked for a Democratic senator and congressman didn''''t make the cut.

Even senior Justice Department officials flinched at what appeared to be hiring decisions based _ improperly and illegally _ on politics, according to the internal report.

"Individuals at the department were rejecting any of our candidates who could be construed as left-wing or who were perceived, based on their appearances and resumes and so forth, as being more liberal," Kevin Ohlson, deputy director of the department''''s executive office of immigration review, complained to Justice investigators.

The report marked the culmination of a yearlong investigation by Justice''''s inspector general and Office of Professional Responsibility into whether Republican politics were driving hiring polices at the once fiercely independent department.

McCain is a drug dealer no fuss no muss

"Thank GOD somebody is thinking of a GLOBAL MARKET. Even if they are REPUBLICAN. I think it''''s an excellent idea on his part to get acquainted with other world leaders, and begin trade dialogues for goods & new technology. If American corporations don''''t want to improve the quality of their services/goods and make their prices more competitive, I welcome the opportunity to purchase goods elsewhere."

It is a great time to "get acquanted". A candidate for president makes a great "oppurtunity" to begin "trade dialogue".
NOT!!
This is a political photo op. Nothing more or nothing less

[ioweign]

Is Bush using again??

[hsinco-2009]

I think he is going for a cash infusion from the Cartels. They know keeping the war on drugs going keeps them in business. Mega dollars.

Well said!

[tiredofthebs]

I think that John is a little confused about what he is running for. He is campaigning in Canada, Mexico, and, now, Columbia, down there promoting this failed drug war. His wife is over in London campaigning for him. I think one of his advisors should tell him he is running for president of the United States, not king of the world. Oh well, let him totter around the world having fun. Obama can have an open field to campaign in. Poor John.
