McCain/Mexico/Columbia - Do I Smell Corruption?
McCain to visit Mexico & Columbia next week. That's after his visit to Canada recently. That smells NAFTA. That leads to these questions...

Why would a cash-strapped campaign spend the money/time on these visits when the smell of NAFTA around them sickens the Rust Belt boys and turns off part of his base who detests people who live "south of the border"?

Only viable answer is MONEY. Obviously the NAFTA mafia wants a boy in the Oval Office who will continue slitting American throat to stuff goodies into their corrupt back pockets. Will there be money in brown paper bags (so to speak) sent to McCain 527's or the RNC? There is nothing about all this that passes the smell test.

Finally, will the Obama campaign make note of these visits and yell "NAFTA" particularly loudly in the Rust Belt? It's a gift on a silver platter for them. It would be equally disgusting not to see them use this to make the point about "same old crap, different con man".
