The Free Trade Express?

Really?  Sorry, but touting the fact that John McCain is for NAFTA and the Columbia deal does not constitute a statement nearly as bold as calling the Maverick's campaign The Free Trade Express. 

We're talking about the same John McCain who pretty much views the petroleum business the way the media, populist and liberal demagogues all view itThe same McCain who demagogues CEOs and their salaries.  This is the same John McCain who favors the statist cap and trade nonsense to regulate the petroleum industry.  The same John McCain who claims to be all for opening up oil fields, yet refuses to concede that ANWR should be open to exploration because of his own vanity and refusal to concede a damn thing to conservatives.  The same John McCain who says he's all about opening up the rest of the country to exploration, yet wants to leave any efforts to do so open enough so they can be killed by a thousand cuts from state and local governments, environmentalists and whoever else has an interest in stopping oil exploration. 

Leagues better than our Marxist Messiah?  Yep.  Free Trade Express?  Not so much.  When McCain's ready to quit acting like an intemperate jackass, learn how the market works and embrace it fully, I might accept that Free Trade Express line, for now, it's,
