MCCain ran a campaign ad in the Jerusalem Post. Is that normal?

To run campaign adverts in foreign newspapers?

1. Was it where he advertised a staircase for sale ?

"Used once , not coming down again"

Decrepid old fart - I think he's loosing it.

2. Define "normal"

Nothing is normal about him

:mad:

3. I am ashamed to report that many of my fellow Jews, especially the Orthodox,...

have consistently fallen for the neocons' "pro isreal" bullshit. One of the smartest people I've ever known, a community leader, turned neocon after that Lebanon/Israel war in 2006. He kept on telling me about "our people", and how we should thank Codi Rice and bush.

4. He has been buying ads in the print version for weeks.

5. He may have this backfire on him - foreign influence is frowned on

in our elections.

6. Maybe his campaign manager got a cheap rate

And then they asked someone from the Bush State Department if
Israel was within the borders of the United States, and being
a Bush political appointee, the idiot presumably answered, "hell
if I know, but probably." Done deal. Republican normal.

7. Don't know; but he's campaigned in Britain as though we were the 51st state.

This was even before he got the nomination. He came twice; cozied up to Cameron both times; on one occasion spoke at the Conservative Party Conference and among other things announced his desire to 'spread Republicanism round the globe'.

He's an idiot; and he seems to think the whole world is supposed to vote for him.

8. He's just letting everyone know he would be open for business

if chosen as president. Anything will still remain for sale.
