John McCain down Bogata way, ole!

Republican presidential hopeful McCain is down in Colombia today [1 July 2008]. His is a show and tell day in Bogota. He went to throw his support behind Herr Bus;h's push for a free market zone with the US, which doesn't seem to be going anywhere. McCain adds nothing to the matter, but he's in motion which just about says it all. He's being jerked around by an adviser of his Charlie Black the man who wishes Al Qaeda attacks the US again so that his traveling mate will be a shoe in to the White House. Well, Black wearing another hat is a lobby for Occidental oil which has a presence in Colombia. So we may read a little more into McCain's trip than meets the eye, but not very much. McCain is a witless wonder. He's slipping and sliding to appease the Republic hard right who will hold their collective nose vote for him in November, something his 95 year old mum had the good sense to say out loud. Age has nothing to do with McCain's candidacy; it's his groveling before the old gods of a disastrous 8 years of Herr Bush radical rule. If McCain had any thoughts of his own, he long ago traded them in for a chance to sit in the Oval office. He's the Hubert Humphery of the Republican party!
