Be sitting down: "McCain: I will prevent Bolivia and Venezuela from taking the Cuban road"
Caracas, Tuesday May 20 , 2008

McCain: I will prevent Bolivia and Venezuela from taking the Cuban road

Republican Senator John McCain, speaking before a noisy crowd in Miami on Cuban Independence Day, on Tuesday pledged to keep the embargo against the Caribbean island, prevent Bolivia and Venezuela from taking the same road taken by Cuba, and strengthen ties with Brazil, Chile and Peru, if he is elected as US president.

McCain criticized his Democrat rival, Senator Barack Obama, for saying that he is willing to sit down with Cuban President Raúl Castro, reported AP.

"If I am elected president (…) We will work to prevent Venezuela and Bolivia from taking the same road to failure Castro has paved for Cuba, and we will broaden and strengthen ties with key states like Brazil, Peru, and Chile," McCain said.

Likewise, McCain criticized Obama for opposing to a free trade agreement with Colombia.

"Colombia is a beacon of hope in a region where the Castro brothers, Hugo Chávez, and others are actively seeking to thwart economic progress and democracy," McCain added.

1. Sitting Down and Thinking about Throwing Up!
'Ole McCain shooting his mouth off surrounded by all manner of gusano terrorists. With McCain's penchant for flip-flopping, he should understand that changing his mind is a dangerous option and he had better be looking over his shoulder.

3. He'd better start keeping an eye on his car, maybe making sure it's always in the garage.
Otherwise, he could go the way of Orlando Letellier, on the streets of Washington, D.C., in broad daylight, at the hands of Cuban "exile" assassins.

4. Business as usual

When it is convenient, conservatives forget about the concepts of democracy, self-determination, and the so-called "free market."
