The world will laugh at the US if Mccain is elected. You know why? He will further plunge the country into economic woes. Even on the issue of foreign policy, he lacks the tact and wisdom to resolve conflicts. Seems to me that we are really looking at a warmonger here.

Leadership for South America that big business can believe in!!!!

McCain is reaching out to Colombian Americans and Mexican Americans who live in the USA by visiting these countries. Unfortunately, since McCain's trip will be paid with our taxpayer dollars, we Hispanics won't vote for him, and will be wasting his time.

It seems that McCain only cares about foreign policies and not domestic issues. I'm tired of hearing about him visiting other countries trying to either help them out or come to some sort of agreement. Let's clean up our own country first.

Ronnie, Because we don’t live in the 1800, the world is interconnected on all levels security, economy………
It is amazing how short sided some people are.

Talk about isolation, I am glad that John McCain understand that we need to make sure allies like Columbia and Canada know that there are realistic people in our politics.

Thank god for John McCain.

Obama is dangerous for this country.

Justin , anybody who was born to a military family no matter what country they are born in is considered a U.S. citizen. Maybe we ought to get to the facts. I read that Obama has two birth certificates . One from KENYA and one from Hawaii. Which one is it. Oh by the way about two months ago they burned thirteen people to death for being witches in Kenya. I forgive you for not knowing that children born to americans in the military are U.S. citizens no matter what country they are born in. But hey you have got to love america and have enough guts to serve in the military before you would know that.

McCain is an idiot but at least the idiot loves america. Too bad the republicans don't fix their elections like the democrats do. We might have got a better canidate for the republican ticket. As popular as Obama is maybe John McCain should hire Obama's reverend Wright and father Pfleger along with his terriost friends to help win over the Obama supporters. He would have to make some un-american statements and play the age card instead of the race card though. Oh by the wat to all you idiots who are always talking about John McCains age . You people must not have no respect for the people who built america and gave you your cush life. For you to dissrepect and hate seniors so bad you must have had some sorry parents. I think these old people that you talk about should have let Hitler win the war then you could all goose step and praise him. You know he was the second coming of christ and the messiah to the german people. He was a socialist to you know.

McSame runs out of the country because he looks so bad with his 200 person town hall meetings while Obama is having 20,000 + people at his. Robot arms you can run but you can't hide.
Obama08 with or without the puma people.

Ya know, I thought all the nasty Obama suppoters had gotten all the nastiness out when they were going against Clinton. Wow!! What kind of life do you have that brings out this kind of venom against every one but the almight, arrogant Obama. Can't wait till he really screws up and then you turn on him. Talk about losers.

It is a breath of fresh air to see a presidential candidate actually reach out and talk to our neighbors. This is commitment to our country and our friends. Barak Obama can sit home and pore over John McCain's quotes of the day so he can spin some Democrat kool-aid to feed his thirsty trash talking followers. You guys don't even have a clue about what these anti-Democrats are all about. John McCain is our leader!

Hope to get some drug money John for your Campaign?

MAYBE MCSAME CAN FIND A COUNTRY

HE CAN BE A DICTATOR IN. IT AIN'T GONA

BE HERE.

What is wrong with McCain? Does he really have his head that high in the air. He's taking every chance he can get to leave American to focus on neo-con policies in other countries? Give me a break! Chavez a dictator? Ummmm he was elected by a large majority in that country; just because he doesn't like you doesn't make him a dictator. The Saudi's are dictators and you regularly praise them.

MCWAR PLEASE DON'T COME BACK.

GO OBAMA 08-12

Counting your eggs before they hatch is a DUMB idea...McCain is NOT the President so for him to be crossing the GLOBE instead of focusing on the issues HERE is a bit PRESUMPTIVE of him and his campaign...I think the taxpayers don't enjoy footing the bill for his travel arrangements, etc....misplaced priorities!!!!

Hey McCain do us all a favor and stay there.

It's good to see John McCain looking at the bigger future issues beyond the election, to things we will have to deal with, such as NAFTA, drug issues, etc. (not to mention the problems with Iran, Iraq, etc.). I have said for years that McCain was the most presidential choice we have, & he shows it more every day. Now if only the American People don't make a mistake and fail to put McCain in the White House....MAKE MINE MCCAIN!!!
***Jim M. Gau***
***Hancock, MI.***

Oh Boy Vacation in Colorado....lucky dog.....Now the air is thin in Colorado so breath deep and often the GOP has no one else that wants to Run....

Mexico, Canada, Colombia, Europe,etc. What about home McLame? No wonder he can't do jack for the US economy. Waste his time and money compensating for what he doesn't have here. Maybe he should run for UN Secretary.

Why is it instead of focusing on the issues at home, he travels to Mexico and Columbia? I guess he knows he is not welcomed in any other countries like in Europe and Japan where Obama is very much supported. What a waste of Money. This election should be over now and Obama should win. Enough of the GOP wrong policies and distorted visions. This guy should retire.

Funny how he says his campaign will pay for it. He is saying he will go the public financing option, so doesn't that mean we are still paying for it?

And he criticizes Obama for NOT taking taxpayer money to run his campaign with the donations of regular people.

Straight talk–NOT

Last time i checked, Columbians and Mexicans aren't registered to vote in the US...Someone might want to tell that to McCain. I don't remember other recent candidates taking so much time for trips to other nations during an election.

Does McCain think that supporting proven failed free trade agreements is going to help get him votes? He shouldn't even bother to campaign by doing stuff like this.

Maybe he thinks the citizens of these countries can vote him into office.

This man continues to show his lack of understanding of the needs domestically. As far as he is concerned, if we all clean out our closets and sell everthing on eBay and that will help fix the economy.

Well, that is a little bit of an exaggeration but he did use eBay as a model as to why he feels that our economy will survive the high gas, food and taxes.

Is McCain going to visit Mexico and Colombia to see how many more American jobs can be sent there? Just think about how much more money these big company's can make if they could send more jobs outside of the country, they could pay the people in Mexico and Colombia $1.50 an hour, provide no health care and not have to worry about that pesky insurance like workmens comp. ; things that are required in the US. Any American company that oursources jobs out of the country should forfit tax breaks; these tax breaks should be reserved for company's that keep jobs in the US. Also; since the government in Colombia can't control the drug lords in their country allowing more Columbia to send in more goods would also allow more drugs to be sent into our country.

JOHN MCCAIN -

DO YOU WANT TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY?

THEN YOU NEED TO ASk HILLARY CLINTON TO BE YOUR VP!!!

YOU WILL WIN IN A LANDSLIDE. WHAT BETTER WAY TO BRING THE REPUBLICANS AND WAY OVER HALF OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY INTO UNITY FOR A BETTER AMERICAN.

I SAY YES TO A: McCAIN/CLINTON TICKET FOR 08.

IT WILL NOT BE HE FIRST TIME A REPUBLICAN AND A DEMOCRAT WERE PRESIDENT & VICEPRESIDENT TOGETHER.

justin chicago – His place of birth is of no matter, he was born an American citizen. I have a friend whose husband was born in Germany because his father was in the Military but he was still considered an US citizen.

Isn't he running for the President of the USA.

If he is then why does he keep going out of the country?

Must not really care.

BTW. The guy who held McCain during Vietnam says that he would make a good president.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Hey Independent

Your ignorance is showing again. When will you learn about shame?

I hope Senator McCain decides to vacation in Colombia until January 21, 2009.

He had better not offer them amnesty!!!

Poor thing! He's so out of touch. Tsk, tsk!

> Maybe instead of promising other countries jobs, like Colombia, you
> know, he could possibly tell us how he is going to create AMERICAN > jobs?

Well, once the Colombians are gainfully employed, McCain will offer vouchers for Americans to travel there to mow their lawns, do cheap labor and/or serve as their housekeepers. See, who says that McCain isn't looking out for your interest?

why not?

I am extremely amused that McCain has made the blatant and obvious effort to not only support but ENHANCe both NAFTA and CAFTA yet seeks to pander to the Clinton supporters. Anyone voting for him deserves excatly what they get.

Perhaps McCain should spend some time touring THIS country and see the bitterness of the workers firsthand. Prices going up, wages going down. Bitter doesn't correctly describe it, mad as hell is more appropiate. Republicans, it's time to reap what YOU have sewn.

McCain ought to ask Obama to join him and let Obama decline as he has done with the suggested town hall meetings. Better yet, at these town hall meetings, McCain ought to place an empty chair on stage with him to suggest Obama absence.

McCain is every where except for where he needs to be right here in the good old USA... Even Cindy is overseas they don't care about us here in the U.S they are looking else where.

Scary. He's going overseas to ask for money and what should we the American people expect in return to all these Drug Cartel Countries for thier blood $$$?

So I guess campaigning in this country where we are facing some very serious issues is not too important to McCain just like bringing our troops home. Anyone who questions where McCain loyalties are now knows, overseas. DW, if the media is influencing your vote then that is a problem, I let the issues influence my vote, I pay very little attention to the yellow journalism in this country. CNN, MSNBC favor Obama and Fox News favors McCain, but I don't base my vote on them or what they do or do not report. It is all about the issues, nothing more, nothing less and McCain's issues are no different than Bush. That is my estimate from reading his stances on his website, not according to the media.

This old creepy moron cares more about foreign countries and ignores numerous problems facing us here at home. I hope he goes with Joe Lieberman so he can whiper in his ears antime he get loss.
God bless..............Obama 08....

Good for you Senator McCain!

The Democrats don't know what they are talking about. They just listen to the drivel Obama spouts. Obama and company just say no to American values and principles!

As a former Democrat, I have learned a great deal during this election cycle. Just say no to the backward and downward Democrat spiral!

McCain 08!

It seems the same simpleton has submitted all the above blogs, you Dems are sooo worried about how we are perceived by the world, then when a REAL senator with experience and knowledge starts working with our neighbors you cant do anything but trash and insult. You and your "CHANGE" is more of the SAME old politics. Your pretty boy OBAMA needs at least 10 more years of cooking until hes ready for prime time, take away the teleprompter and he sound as naive and inexperienced as he really is.

After I defeat Iraq, Iran, Syria, Hamas, Hezbolah, The Taliban, and N. Korea. 'I will be the FARCs worst nightmare my friends'.

Campaigning in the important swing states, I see.

'Si Mi Amigos de Columbia' I will send you our jobs. And if I can not send you enough of our jobs. Just come across the border my friends.
Si Se puede

The lead for Obama will grow as people realize the bottom line. McBush is a guarantee of four more years of foolish war. A guarantee of more fine young service men dieing for a country that wants us to go home. A guarantee of a huge debt that our children will have to pay off. A guarantee of a weak dollar as we print money to pay for this war while Iraq puts billions of their profits in the bank. A guarantee of a ruined economy because the war is the cause of our economic woes.
Yes, a McBush Presidency is a guarentee you can count on 'my friends'.

Way to go, Senator McCain! World issues and America's standing in the world transcend dirty Chicago politics, the only thing Obama (and Axelrod, his "brain") know - thus the shouting, stomping, and blathering about nothing but Obama, the "nothing" other than being black!

Be sure you meet up with representatives of the human rights and campesino organizations, Sen. McCain. You'll quickly learn that U.S. aid to Colombia–so-called Plan Colombia, which many Colombians call Plan de Muerte or Plan of Death–is anything but "friendly" to most Colombians. And neither is the paramilitary president, Alvaro Uribe.

why does McCain think going to other countries is important to his presidential campaign?Americans could careless what other countries think or do so why bother wasting the jet fuel going?He must not be very "green".

God help us if this man is elected.

How can democrats unite when so-called journalists like Ms. Campbell are so enraptured with Obama - they actually make you want to vote for McCain!

McCain was born in Panama. he cant run for president legally.

Mexico and Columbia. The two most potent drug suppliers to the U.S. AND THEIR GOVERNMENTS KNOW IT!! McCain is too dim to know any better. WHo doesn't know these two countries reputations and their Primary Exports????

McCain..too out of touch with reality with the WRONG Friends.

Obama Can't talk to Iran but McCain Can visit the worst Drug Offending Nation on the PLANET???

Trying to decide which country to invade next?

I could understand Bush traveling to foreign countries to try and solve problems that affect the United States. But why would McCain who is just campaigning for president spending money and resources in these endeavors? this really shows how unorganized he is as he should be focusing in making us understand why we should vote for him. What do Colombians, Mexicans and Canadians have to do with the election process? if he wins (and I hope he doesnt) he will have enough time to have talks with foreign countries. Come on McCain, focus! the main problems are here at home, if you cannot acknowledge that how can we trust you to be our president?

BTW, the name of the country is ColOmbia not ColUmbia like the district. Seems like some people do not know the difference.

there is an african proverb that said: before you go ahead and clean up somebody else mess or house, you should start first by your own mess or house

How can he travel to Columbia when people are suffering here? There are levies breaking everywhere, yet he wants to give a gax tax holiday that would cut the funding to improve those levies? He doesn't care about the poor here, so why is he going there? Oh yeah, his friends are looking for employees to work for their companies, I'm sure at deep discounts.

This is all to the good. The US pays entirely too little attention to this giant segment of the world. Finally a candidate sophisticated enough to recognize this.

McBush please go there and stay there....America doesnt need another president who is foolish enough to destroy most of our lives

Obama 08-12

McCain needs to spend some time in the good old USA. We have pressing concerns here and he is running around the world like he is Bush! You have a tough go of here Senator. I suggest you keep you eye on the prize here.
But then I am not voting for you anyway!

Do you folks realize, that McCain's campaigning consists of Mediocre Town Halls? And the rest of his time is spent Cavorting in other Countries?

He was last known to be making an Overseas Trip, which supposedly included, Canada, Mexico, and Colombia. Well he went to Canada, and came back to the US, with BANDAIDS ON HIS HEAD! Now he is back home and is about to take off for ANOTHER TRIP to Mexico and Colombia!

Would you folks, please WAKE UP and see just what John McCain is all about?

hahaha go mcshame that wont save you. obama 08!!!!!

More jet setting and less time in the senate. Does this guy know the cost of fuel to keep globetrotting? I would be an irate donator to him campaign to flying him all over the world. Sure economics is not his best forte

What country is McBush trying to impress? We have problems here in the USA that need attention. Maybe he is going to hold another secret conference to tell them not to worry about the border of America being sealed. If "slick willie'"-is in on the shafta- nafta deal- We can be sure it's not a good sign for The american citizens. "slick" is making bundles with his Dubai friends ,just as he did with the Chinese connection in the White House.

Good. Any day he wastes in other countries is a day he can't spew his drivel here in the US.

Worry about AMERICA, not others.

The last time he was abroad in Canada,

he got attacked by some roof or car doors.

Tough luck.

America and world love Obama.

Go Obama go!!!

Maybe instead of promising other countries jobs, like Colombia, you know, he could possibly tell us how he is going to create AMERICAN jobs? Is he running for president of the US? Or for president of Colombia?

Hey mcwar, when you were visiting Iowa for that photo op, did you fill any sandbags like Obama did? Of course not, you probably didn't realize a flood was going on.

Just say No: Cindy is the besat part of McCain!

Go, with our blessings. Take a vacation while you're there, you and Miss Cindy look like you could use one.

Obama 08

Senator,

Are you or Ms. Fiorina aware of the violent drug battled between Mexican police and drug cartels, literally a few miles away from the United States border with Mexico?

I would certainly hope that with your being from Arizona, this is not news to you.

What actions and timetime do you propose to stamp this out?

McCain should go back to Panama where he was born.

Please stay and don't come back not even to visit.

McCain said he plans meet with Colombian president Alvaro Uribe to discuss DRUG trafficking as well as the Colombian Free Trade Agreement.......................DON't TAKE CINDY!!!!!!!

What is this man doing? He's traveling to every country on the planet talking to foreigners rather than Americans. I need him to come to the Gulf Coast and talk about how he's going to make sure that this hurricane season, no debacle like the government's response to Katrina will happen again.

I want him to tell me how he's gonna make sure that the now 1/4th of my monthly budget that goes for commuting (gas) will not increase.

Talk to Americans, not Canadians, not Colombians, not Mexicans – talk to the tax-paying citizens of the USA (the ones who pay your salary) about what you are going to do to stop the economic hemorraghing in this country.

Well McSenile, it seems like you are spending more time outside the country (Canada, now Mexico and Colombia?).

I guess with all of the lobbyists (i.e. Charlie Black) that have major connections to people who undermine their people as well as us, you have go an sign some speculative and shady agreements.

It is nice to know Sen McCain cares about stopping the drugs coming to USA, but going to Colombia to pledge US AID is not what the economy needs now.

US economy needs more AID than a corrupt South American Country. Sen McCain you are running around to Canada and NAFTA countries talking about how NAFTA will benifit them but you are yet to show a Roadmap how US can benifit by staying with the current NAFTA agreement. NAFTA has to change, so US workforce can gain high paying new jobs rather than working as a deli worker making minmum wage.

MORE DEBT TO SAUDI ARABIA, DUBAI AND CHINA....... BUT THE REPUBLICANS KEEP TRAVELING, KEEP MAKING MORE WAR...... NOW ISRAEL WANTS THE U.S. TO HELP IN BOMBING IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIES......... GOD HELP US!

Please Keep Him!

Hey Clilnton News Network:

Maybe you can run the story of the D.N.C. Sueing McCain Over Campaign Loan.

Then, you can run the ethics behind McCain's flip flop.

Then you can factcheck it.

Then you can leave it on your political homepage for a week.

Wow, and all i've ever heard is that Barack is the one with the secret agenda, yet he's not yet left the US, twice in a week for Mr. McCain...
Oce again it's advantage Obama

Barack Obama 08

McClone can stay in Mexico and drink fruity cocktails with umbrellas while he collects his un-needed Social Security. We really don't want or need him back. Hasta la Vista, Crypt-Keeper!

Sen. McCain's campaign seems to be operating in a fog. They are really doing some stupid things.

McCain said he plans meet with Colombian president Alvaro Uribe to discuss DRUG trafficking as well as the Colombian Free trade .............
SAY NO to CINDY !!!!

Hey McClown your love or lack there of for AMERICA really shows. These visits to other countries prove what??????????????

I see he'll be shoring up NAFTA with Mexico and working on the Columbia Deal which nobody wants.(except Bill Clinton who has been working on the deal),,,,take him with you McWar and leave him there.

He'll have to change his name from Maverick to "IDIOT"

Watch out America he's going to sell our soul to anyone that has money.

3 tips for Mexico and Colombia.

1. Use small words
2. Don't believe his promises (he changes positions more than underwear).
3. Also put the old man in a HUGE car he has a tendency to hit his head on the roof or the door (we don't know he changed his story as he was telling it, see number 2)

John McCain –

Please join our leader, Senator Obama, on his trip to the REAL WAR ON TERROR to

Afghanistan to speak with the commanders there regarding what they need to capture bin Laden.

be careful John, don't hit your head getting out of a car this time...Columbia? may be you can pick up a souvenir for Cindy...lol

interesting that at this phases the McCaint family finds it more important to seek friends out side of our borders

Hey mcwar, let's try and create some jobs here in america okay? Like I know your buddies need that free trade agreement to make their billions but let's try and give a few americans some jobs here in america, okay?

A BUSH & MCBUSH POLICY, HELPING

EVERYONE BUT US. AND WE PAY FORE IT.

HE IS WORKING ON EXPORTING THE

REMAINDER OF OUR JOBS. THAT IS

SLEAZOS FOREIGN POLICY.

McCain might as well go to Mexico and Columbia because he sure doesn't have a good message here in the good old U.S.A. McCain is so out of touch.

"To get more money for his campaign? What is he running for, president of the world?"

LOL!!!! That's pretty funny! But it sure seems like he spends more time in the world than here in the states! LOL!!!

And by the way, good luck Senator in Mexico....

on who's dime it sure as hell better not be mine! He spends more time campaigning out of the country than he does in the country! Sounds like all the lobbyist he has working for him they are all hired by foreign governments and corporations over seas to undermine our country's progress and financial stability.

When Obama won his party nod he took over the DNC and made changes in short order and major ones too no longer taking pac or lobbyist money that was a major change!

When Sen Mc Cain won his party nod the RNC came in took over his campaign and change his position on every major issue to fit there agenda. Who is the real leader and who is being lead wake up people!!!

Obama 08 yes we can

OUR HERE JUST LIVES OTHER NATIONS.

GUESS WHO PAYS FOR THESE TRIPS.

THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER, US FOLKS.

Sorry, but Mr McCain needs to place his focus here in America. There are other people that can deal with the problems in Mexico and Columbia. He needs to really tour the US and figure out what he is doing wrong. I mean really tour, talk to the people, not just his supporters, talk to everyone deomcrat, independent, republican, all of us. He is so out of touch with what we think and feel as a whole that he will never make it unless he focuses on what is IMPORTANT... and that is the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Who give a hoot about Mexico and Columbia right now, we are worried about putting food on the table and how to get to work (gas prices), medical insurance ... you name it.
Sorry but everyone else should be second in MR McCains book at this moment. This is not protectionism, just reality Americans need help with just basic survival, and could really give a flip about anyone else at this moment.

Columbia is a beautiful country of beautiful people... but when it comes to the drug cartels, they've been looking the other way for decades. Maybe there should be some 'pre-conditions' to meet with them.... considering the fact that we were ready to send troops down there just a few months ago.

And why are these trips being paid for by his campaign? Is he trying to get the Columbian vote?

MCSAME WANTS TO EXPORT A FEW MORE OF OUR

JOBS. AND SPEND MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS

ON THESE TRIPS.THAT MONEY COULD BE USED TO

EDUCATE OUR VETS.

Please stay there...
Are you going to use Cindy's private jet?

Sounds like he cares more for other countries than the U.S.

McBush Jr. 8 more years of the same crap.

More NAFTA and American job give away!

FOCUS ON THE USA MCSAME!!

UNITE DEMS!

To get more money for his campaign? What is he running for, president of the world?

WHY ISN'T FREE TRADE CREATING JOBS HERE AT HOME, SENATOR MCCAIN?

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!
