McCain Takes Campaign To…Canada?

(CBS)

From CBS News’ John Bentley:

MINNEAPOLIS – John McCain will head north of the border this morning to give a speech on free trade in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada’s capital city. While the visit is not a campaign event, it’s expected McCain will talk about his support for NAFTA, the trade agreement Barack Obama said he might renegotiate when he was campaigning in Ohio.

While most Canadians are not supportive of America’s current Republican president, McCain’s speech is being called “hottest ticket in Canada” by many in the Canadian press. The 380 tickets to the event, which cost between $2,000 and $5,000, sold out in half an hour of going on sale.

McCain is expected to praise the cooperation between the two countries on trade issues, as well as thanking the troops Canada has sent to Afghanistan.

It’s the first time a U.S. presidential contender has made a trip Canada during the campaign season.

Republicans and Democrats have allowed the invasion of privacy for you and I. Telecom Companies under the behest of President George W. Bush provided the technical wherewithal to provide secret information on selected customers. The Bush Administration under the haze of conducting a war on terror have politicized private Telecommunication Companies into providing eaves drop information without warrant or documentation.

George Bush implemented an illegal spy program through the National Security Agency (NSA) without any warrants granted by the Foreign Investigation surveillance Agency (FISA) Court.
The Bush administration refused to produce any findings, or lists of eaves dropped subjects.

Congress has allowed the Bush NSA Spy Program to lapse and revert back to the Jurisdiction of the FISA Court and process. Republicans have shrieked that the Democrats aren%u2019t allowing for the protection of the US, and are siding with Terrorists! For not allowing Bush to eaves drop on anyone he wishes without warrant or documentation.

Yesterday, both Republicans and Democrats joined together in dismissing any civil liability against the Private Telecommunication Companies that participated in Bush%u2019s illegal eavesdropping.

Obama has taken his campaign to Kenya to support someone who would install Shari''ia law there (even though there is a majority Christian population)...

So, as the son of a Kenyan, is Obama Kenyan or American? Loyalty first to America or to a tribe in Africa?

The GOP is going to try everything the can to smear and swift boat the Democratic Nominee for President of the United States, because looking at their results from the last 8 years of Corruption, War, and Obstruction against the average American Middle Class, they have nothing else.

Republicans seem to all have an abnormal affection for Guns, Violence, and Hate. The War Mongers have taken from this country everything they could during the Bush Administration and the Rubber Stamp Congress. It%u2019s time for a change.

As an American proud of my Canadian ancestors I would like to send a message to John McCain. Get the hell out of Canada you doddering senile old sell out! You''re already determined to scr*ew America over more by having a 3rd Bush term, but that doesn''t give you the right to scr*ew around with Canada! Go back to the nursing home in Sun City and ****!

"Not a campaign event"?? So where will the money go? The estimate is between $750k and $2 million in ticket sales. So McCain gets nothing? LMFAO

I know McCain needs the money, but raising it in a foreign country is borderline treason. We can all imagine what the corporate press and Fake News Network would say if Obama was doing exactly the same thing.

Poor old guy, forgot what country he was running for president. However he might stand a better chance in Canada. Maybe we could get them to do a NAFTA swap. They take McCain off our hands and we pay them one Bush dollar.

HUSSEIN AND THE NEW BLACK PANTHER PARTY

The racist NBPP is led by notorious extremist, Malik Zulu Shabazz, and is a registered team member and blogger on Obama%u2019s campaign website.

Barack Obama and The New Black Panther Party
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DQAOZlNrO8

Snarling at the White Man
Leaders of the New Black Panther Party, unlike those of its namesake of the 1960s and 1970s, speak of ''white devils'' and ''bloodsucking Jews''

Khalid Muhammad.
Muhammad, who first appeared publicly as the new Panthers'' leader at the Jasper demonstration in 1998, had long been known as the leading spokesman for the black separatist Nation of Islam. He lost that post after Nation leader Louis Farrakhan was widely criticized for Muhammad''s violently hateful speeches.

He has blamed slavery and even the Holocaust on the "hooked-nose, bagel-eating, lox-eating, perpetrating-a-fraud, so-called Jew."

He has launched repeated diatribes against his enemies: "white devil crackers," "bloodsucking Jews" and "*******."

Muhammad had clear ideas for dealing with whites who did not leave immediately: "We kill the women. We kill the babies. We kill the blind. We kill the cripples. We kill them all. We kill the *******. We kill the lesbians. ,,, When you get through killing them all, go to the ******* graveyard and dig up the grave and kill them a-*******-gain, because they didn''t die hard enough" the first time.

way better than the dimmy kkkarteryears that hussein will return us to,,,

from the dimmy kar-ter years of double digit unemployment, double digit inflation rate and double digit house mortgage interest rates, car loans were like going to a loan shark

reagan years brought single digit unemployment, single digit inflation and single digit house mortgage rates

vote demonic-rat to reward the deadbeat parasites spendthrifts

vote gop to reward the workers, frugal savers, investers, job creaters

even a dishwasher can become financially independent and secure under capitalism

Malik Obama confirms his half-brother Barack grew up a Muslim

Apparently the Obamas of Kenya have no doubt -- contrary to the claims of the Obama campaign, that the presidential candidate was raised a Moslem. They take that as a given.
"Barack Obama''''s half brother Malik said Thursday that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background. In an interview with Army Radio he expressed a special salutation from the Obamas of Kenya."
