Why in the world are you not SCREAMING at the top of your lungs at YOUR president who is selling off our port security to the U.A.E???

This is out source theory at it's grandest. Now the pres has said he's not gonna allows ANYONE to stop this deal...no way...no how. That makes one wonder what's in it for him down the road AFTER he's prez???

Even his own party is screaming foul now....what are your thoughts on this?

Me, as if you care, I think it's is WRONG!!!! I know I'm tagged as a flaming liberal and in some cases you are right.....I'm an independent thinker of my own mind...I don't pack up with the crowd just because they have a pretty label/banner.

He's had quite a few of those in the last couple of years, actually. Wink

I'm mad as H***. I still haven't forgotten about Carter selling the Panama Canal. But I will be the first to admit I don't know all the facts, it stinks anyway I look at it.

Why do people always bring up Clinton whenever Bush does something stupid? Say what?

Clinton pulled his own dumb stunts and people belly-ached at the time. Ya know, when he was actually in office and it made sense to belly-ache. But what is the logic with it now?

Bush is not only the president for the current term, he is also the president of the previous term. Ie, he's been sitting in his own mistakes for a few years now...

Senator Frist, Senate Majority Leader:
"The decision to finalize this deal should be put on hold until the administration conducts a more extensive review of this matter," said Frist. "If the administration cannot delay this process, I plan on introducing legislation to ensure that the deal is placed on hold until this decision gets a more thorough review."

The Adminstrative response?:

"President Bush said Tuesday that the deal allowing an Arab company to take over six major U.S. seaports should go forward and that he would veto any congressional effort to stop it."

will make this quick 'cause I've got 8 stupid replacement heifers walking around with their tails up and it's just a little chilly to let them calve outside and needed a caffeine fix, but, seems like maybe Bush is trying to bring this bunch onboard to a greater extent to our side and make it very detrimental to them to deal with terrorists. I'm just shaking my head and hoping for some good answers in the next few days as I'm sure this will almost totally dominate the airwaves.

I'm a life long Republican and from Texas. Bush is a tremendous disappointment but still a hell of a lot better than the other choices we were offered. Al Gore and John Kerry? Give me a break! What can't we get good knowledgeable people elected? I'd kind of like a John McCann/Joe Liberman ticket!

Ok...my ' bad' for using the wrong word by saying Bush " sold" the ports.... He's sold the managment of them. Ok...now that's done and corrected.

Ok...that gets the semantics out of the way.....and HMW is right...why bring up Carter and Clinton when we've had WAY WAY more " Bushs to deal with in the last 50 yrs than anyone else. How can you make excuses there??

Kola - I agree. Remember Reagan the Teflon President? I do not understand why no matter what this administration does, people defend Bush and Cheney. Even when major parts of the GOP are aghast at the polarization, the deficit, the corruption, the arrogance of Cheney and Rumsfield, the cluelessness of Bush when left unminded (remember Harriet Miers, poor lady?), the viciousness of Rove.

I absolutely do not agree that Bush was the best choice. He's been a disaster economically and internationally. I believe he has singlehandedly set back science and research in this country, accelerated the polarization and mean spiritedness and ruined civil discourse. I am not a very political person and I feel like running out and supporting ANYONE who will throw the bums out and be halfway competent at running this country.
