John McCain to End Slavery in Venezuela Once and For All
BoRev never ceases to crack me up.

http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2008/05/mccain-will-ple.html?csp=34">Weird Quote for the Day:

"Human trafficking -– slavery, by another name –- exists not just in places like Thailand, Kuwait and Venezuela. It is a serious problem here in the United States."

--Crazy old coot John McCain

Um ok, what? Everybody knows that Thailand is an obligatory stopover in the international perv circuit, and that Kuwait is notorious for kidnapping child slaves not just for camel racing but for, like, "http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/5-human-traffic-builds-us-embassy-in-iraq/">building the U.S. embassy in Iraq," But Venezuela? Oh wait I know. McCain was probably in Caracas and the ladies were throwing themselves all over him and he just assumed... no wait on second thought sex slavery is the only possible explanation here.

1. Quote comes from this:
http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2008/05/mccain-will-ple.html?csp=34

McCain will pledge crackdown on modern slavery

In Rochester, Mich., today, presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain will speak about "defending the freedom and dignity of the world's most vulnerable," his campaign says.

According to excerpts from his remarks, McCain will say that as president he would "make religious freedom a subject of great importance for the United States in our relations with other nations."

He will also take on the issue of modern slavery, saying that:

There is another form of human oppression that persists in the world today that demands our urgent attention and should sting the conscience of every good person. Inexcusably, it is a crime that, while prevalent elsewhere, exists within our own borders as well.

2. *snarf* He'd have to stop importing 99% of the products that are imported
to the US from China.

That's not gonna happen.
