There are lots of reasons to vote against McCain but this isn’t one of them. The Panama Canal Zone was U.S. territory when McCain was born there. It isn’t now, because Jimmy Carter and a traitorous Senate gave it away. Using this as an issue against McCain just distracts from the real reasons to oppose his candidacy.
Sure its silly, but its still interesting.
I keep reading “The Panama Canal Zone was U.S. territory” but I can’t seem to find any sites to back that up. I find comments about it having been a territory administered by the U.S. and the military base there was US territory-but nothing putting in the same place as say Puerto Rico. Anyone have a link?
P.S. Yes, I know its silly, no need to keep reminding us, this is just for fun.
“Actually it’s a common misunderstanding that the zone was a U.S. territory - in fact, the U.S. had lease rights, but not territorial rights.”
Found this on redstate, was curious if you have something that says it was a US territory? Thanks
