MONTEBELLO, Quebec – President Bush today sidestepped a direct question about whether he'd be willing to categorically deny there is a plan to create the North American Union.
Instead, he ridiculed those who believe that is taking place as conspiracy theorists.
The exchange came at a news conference held by Bush, Mexico's President Felipe Calderon, and Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who met at a resort in the rural woods outside of Ottawa, Quebec, to discuss their latest work on the Security and Prosperity Partnership.
After the trio presented their prepared statement about the SPP, several reporters who had been selected in advance were allowed to ask questions.
When it came time for a question from a Fox News reporter, Bush was asked if he would be willing to categorically deny that there is a plan to create a North American Union, or that there are plans to create NAFTA Superhighways.
"As you three leaders meet here, there are a growing number of people in each of your countries who have expressed concern about the Security and Prosperity Partnership. This is addressed to all three of you. Can you say today that this is not a prelude to a North American Union, similar to a European Union? Are there plans to build some kind of superhighway connecting all three countries? And do you believe all of these theories about a possible erosion of national identity stem from a lack of transparency from this partnership?" was the question, according to a White House transcript.
Reporters at the news conference said he sidestepped, instead adopting the tactic that those who are arguing the European Union model of integrating nations into a larger continental union is being used in North America should be ridiculed.

A straight answer would have been preferable to ridicule. Now the rumors won’t die.
“Now the rumors won’t die.”
Please point to ONE conspiracy theory that has EVER died.
oops. Thing = think
Conspiracy theories abound because conspiracies really happen. Not every theory turns out to be a real conspiracy, but some of them do.
OK, the World Nut Daily says he sidestepped the question. The Washington Times says he denied a union. Which one ya gonna believe?
They CAN'T die, because there are too many people behind them................
...and there are even conspiracies that don’t have rumors!!!
There is too much evidence that something is going on for it to die. A “North American Union”, maybe or maybe not. Certainly giant corporations are forming a “public private partnership” to loot the American (all three nations) people into spending on infrastructure and altering public policy (without the legislature’s involvement) that will benefit the giant companies first rather than the citizens first.
If they didn’t sneak around like cowards the conspiracy theorists would be proven wrong.
The aliens want to eventually have a one world union before the invasion. I fear for my great grand children.

I also noticed he didn’t deny that he’s the Anti-Christ.
So many pro-illegal, open borders Bushbots, so little time....

Bush’s answer was:
“We represent three great nations. We each respect each other’s sovereignty. You know, there are some who would like to frighten our fellow citizens into believing that relations between us are harmful for our respective peoples. I just believe they’re wrong. I believe it’s in our interest to trade; I believe it’s in our interest to dialogue; I believe it’s in our interest to work out common problems for the good of our people.
“And I’m amused by some of the speculation, some of the old – you can call them political scare tactics. If you’ve been in politics as long as I have, you get used to that kind of technique where you lay out a conspiracy and then force people to try to prove it doesn’t exist. That’s just the way some people operate. I’m here representing my nation. I feel strongly that the United States is a force for good, and I feel strongly that by working with our neighbors we can a stronger force for good.
“So I appreciate that question. I’m amused by the difference between what actually takes place in the meetings and what some are trying to say takes place. It’s quite comical, actually, when you realize the difference between reality and what some people are talking on TV about.”
So the answer is: “Maybe, maybe not. Wait to see what Clintoon II does”
Not so fast. Who would have thought a few years ago that Bush would have been pushing for a massive amnesty bill with open borders to Mexico?
One might recall how beginning in the 1960's, the John Birch Society was promoting the idea that a "master conspiracy" that included many of our top leaders was seeking to bring about a Communist world state. Long after the Soviet empire collapsed, the "Master conspiracy" theory lives on among true-believing Birchers.
