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.

The thing I can't figure out is what is the advantage in this deal for the US? What benefit is there?

An British firm wants to sell. A UAE firm was the highest bidder. Disallowing the highest bidder is sort of like eminent domain. If you wanted to sell your house to the highest bidder, and congress forbade it, you might be a little steamed.

Oh well, I can't believe you support anything and everything stamped "OK" with a (R). Critical thinking entails more than Party Group Thought.

ROFLMAO. Now we're talking irony, pal.

You're using Number One on the list of Bush Haters' Talking Points.

How utterly U N O R I G I N A L.

Whoever you were before this reincarnation sure didn't learn much the last time they were here.

And you're entitled to believe that and state it as such.

That doesn't make you right or give you might.

The Republican Party used to be a Conservative Party that put America first.

Don't like it? Start your own party.

Name one shipping company from the landlocked country of Iran.

Time for a geography lesson!

Alan Keyes can't get elected dog catcher.

He is an untried, can't get elected to anything, talker. You have less than NO idea what he would or would NOT do, other than to talk down to everyone, if he ever were to get elected to anything.

RINO is a much abused and misused term. It actually stands for REPUBLICAN IN NAME ONLY; not someone who just isn't "CONSERVATIVE" enough for you.

You are extremely rude and un-called-for.

I may be rude sometimes, but not uncalled for. I only jumped into this thread because I was fed up watching the defenders of this idiotic deal demonize anyone who dared disagree...even to the extent of labeling everyone racists who didn't agree with them.

This is nothing new. Same crowd, different issue, different day.

Actually, I find most on FR to be sane.

It's the Kool-Aid drinking bullies (a relative handful) I find to be a bit intellectually dishonest.

Why are you trying to imply nasty personal stuff about folks on this thread?

What could that possibly accomplish?
