McCain's running for president of *which* country???
Edited on Sat Aug-25-07 11:09 AM by tbyg52
US Republican Presidential candidate John McCain has pledged to protect Bermuda's international businesses if he is successful in his White House bid. The Arizona Senator, who spent three days on the Island this week meeting business and political leaders, said he understood the concerns of the insurance and reinsurance sectors about draft legislation proposing a clampdown on US business operations in so-called tax havens.

He told The Royal Gazette: "The industry, the re-insurance that's had such phenomenal success has been good for both nations. I would oppose any measures that would upset that."

4. ***Donate to the John McCain vacation fund!***
I wonder if he'll try to hire Grovelbot's brother-in-law as his campaign manager.
