I don't think that Bush declined, I believe it was our Canadian officials who didn't want him to. The reason is because the Liberals recently kicked a rabid anti-American out of the caucus so they can't control her. The parties could have controlled all their MPs, but I don't think Canada wants another Reagan/Robinson situation.

How stupid, he should have just done it. No one would heckle him except Carolyn Parrish and no one takes her seriously anyways.

No, lefties have a place in society. Second place. Our great nation is balanced on the idea of seperate ideas and values and different political slants, etc.
Ant:
yes. in american society, integrity, and intelligence, are second to racism and bigotry. congratulations in becoming a bigotted supporter of a racist party. Enjoy your kinship with KKK voters, skin heads, white supremacists, the CoCC, Strom Thurmond, Trent Lott, and racist voters all throughout republican strongholds, i.e. the south, i.e. racist america. Now please go listen to Tim McGraw, and stop posting in a hiphop forum.
