AP ALERT

Posted on 02/21/2006 12:32:20 PM PST by Brian Mosely

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Bush says the deal allowing an Arab company to take over six major U.S. seaports should go forward and he will veto any bill that would stop it.

I posted the official State Department quote from the Press Conference.

It did NOT support your accusation. Your accusation that the State Department did not support a free press is a lie.

How hard is this for you to understand? You were duped by the AP story...........the MSM ALWAYS tries to get you anti-Bush people worked up.

With you, they clearly succeeded. Try investigating before reacting.

Post #2595

I got hooked on FReep during Katrina. It was the place for facts. A poster named Jeffers was great. I'm very much aligned with conservative values. But the acceptable lack of facts and understanding of Law is quite shocking for so-called conservatives.

The President can shoot this down merger only based on some violation of some law. What is it FReepers?

I do think it is a political problem and the administration does not do a good job marketing its positions, but for the President to say, "I don't like." And shot is down is NOT conservative. It is reactionary.

Too be so ignorant of the facts (such as the way Ports operate and the actual facts in Panama) is more scary than the UAE.

Which part did I not understand?

The part that explained that you quoted ONLY PART of the statement, rendering it 100% inaccurate.

If a person makes a complete statement, saying that they understand the offense, but SUPPORT the FREE PRESS because Americans have shed blood and treasure to achieve it, and you quote only the first half of that quote, you are LYING.

Please just admit your error, and apologize.

Situation ethics don't hold water around here.

I just saw Scarborough and for the first time I liked Lawrence O'Donnell. I can't abide him usually but Bush's actions has made for strange bedfellows.

You obviously left out the letter L in your screen name. I'm calling your bluff(monster). No sane Conservative EVER 'likes' Lawrence O'Donnell and no amount of Bush's actions would EVER make bedfellows of a true FReeper and that vile man.

I don't care about oxymorons. I care about telling the truth.

Has that become a problem around here?

And what's this "AMERICA FIRST" garbage?

Hurts you globalists to hear an American want to see America first, doesn't it?

just like clintonites

Let me explain something that should be obvious to both of you, but apparently isn't.

Trusting President Bush as a man of integrity isn't even close to adulation of xlinton.

The people who adore xlinton don't trust him, because they know he is a cad and a liar. The like him because he excused their own bad and irresponsible behavior, because he did everything in his power to destroy the moral fabric of our country, and because he was relentless in his quest to kill unborn babies.

Those of us who defend President Bush on this forum against the emotional diatribes and knee-jerk reactions so offensively exhibited on this thread, are trying to inject reason into the discussion because we DO trust the man. But we trust him because he is a man of integrity, and honor, and he loves and defends the country that we also love. And in the past 5 years, though not a single one of us has agreed with everything he has done, we have seen nothing to make us lose that trust. He is a GOOD man, and a strong, moral leader, and has earned our trust.

Your comparison, Stellar, of a clintonista is as vaccuous as anything I've read on this forum, and as dead wrong.

As I have read your posts, Stellar, I rarely see any cogent thought, or depth. You are too interested in slamming the President and those of us who RESPECT him, to contribute well-developed thought.

Most of us recoiled at first at the idea that our ports might be bought out by an Arab country (some of us still disagree with it), but we had the presence of mind to find out the FACTS before we went off the emotional deep end as you did.

You see, that's the difference between those of us defending President Bush, and people like you two. We THINK before we scream.

(Stellar, I presume you are still under the grasp of your FR guru who told you to 'ignore' me, but at some point, I hope you develop enough independent thought apart from your gang leader to respond to my posts).

GWB's refusal, like always, to simply square with the American people on this leads many, including myself to question just WTF is going on.

Seriously, he is Clinton without the Cigar. I see little difference anymore.

I don't hate the guy, I hate many of the things he does.

Joking aside, I did volunteer for him twice in 2000 and 2004. I actually went to Florida for a week in 2004 to volunteer. HOWEVA, I am not happy on bit about this second term other than Roberts and Alito.

You're surely not this dense are you, chris?

Pro-life
Pro-family
Pro-military
Tax cuts
Pro-defense
Strong pro-business position
Strong conservative judges
TWO Constitutional Originalists on the Supreme Court
Strong American stance against Kyoto, the world court, and the war on terror.

What you say may get you pats on the back from your teen-age buddies here, but it's so wrong it's funny. On second thought, it's not funny at all...........it's pathetic.

Backtracking now, chris??

Just a second ago you called him clinton without the cigar. That's disdain to the core.

You're speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

Do you actually know how many containers get inspected? It is less than 10% according to Fox News. Does that concern you?

it's nowhere near 10%. I have read closer to 2%. The real problem is getting things inspected OVERSEAS. Not in US ports. Once they are on a ship heading to a US port its too late. What good are inspections of 2% of containers if the nuke is set off prior to inspections in NY harbor?

I won't backtrack. The Bush Administration is merely the Clinton Administration with slightly cleaner rugs.

Those are platitudes and rehearsed statements like anything else.

Believe it or not, Clinton did more on some of those issues, he signed the partial birth abortion ban that is going before SC.

Clinton signed the marriage act banning gay marriage.

GWB has done no such thing.

He gives people like you a few crumbs to feel satiated by all while sticking a plunger up your @#$ in many other ways.

I don't hate the man, I hate how he acts.

He acts like Clinton on many issues. Triangulating, strangulating, whatever.

He is a good person, but that does not make him right on many issues.

They are like the Dems .. nothing but opportunists that pile on and offer nothing

So better we sit back and say nothing and eat crow????

To me, the Meirs mess a perfect example of why we should hold his feet to the fire.

If we did not, he probably would have been inclined to nominate Gonzalez.

ALL HAIL KING GEORGE!
