I am sitting here watching the final debate between Senators Obama and McCain. The debate got to free trade, focusing on the pending Colombia Free Trade Agreement. Playing the negative card, John McCain pointed out that Barack Obama opposed the free trade agreement with Colombia while agreeing to talk with Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez. “Bzzzzzz. Gotcha Barack”
Senator Obama cogently pointed out that trade unionists are systematically assassinated in Colombia and that country should not be rewarded for such institutionalized killing. McCain’s response?
We’ve got to honor our best ally in the region.
Senator McCain, when will we put the interests of our fellow human beings ahead of our favorite governments and their death squads?
Stumble It!
