"What a pile of steaming B.S. by you."
Paul, cool it... I am NOT the enemy!
"I'm talking the open contracts!"
"Do you believe in free enterprise or don't you?"
Yes, and this was an OPEN bidding process. Americans (for reasons I have stated elsewhere in this thread) did NOT want to participate.
"Does your acquiesence to foreign dependancy trump your belief in a AMERICAN-PREREQUISITE free market? Whatever happened to all those 'free trade' admissions that national security legitimately trumped their free trade religion? Looks like you guys are constantly back-pedalling...never, ever seeing national security as a problem."
You misread quite a bit into my position on this. I DO NOT want this company to win this bid... I want an AMERICAN company to run our ports. I can't make them do it, and neither can the President! Companies are free to engage in business contracts as they see fit. Change the rules if necessary, but I am ONLY commenting on the facts leading up to this unfortunate and threatening development.
"H'mmm....Just like the democRATs."
Are you calling ME a RAT?? Spend about 5 minutes reviewing my past posts. I am ALWAYS in favor of doing WHATEVER IT TAKES to ensure our security.
Why do you attack a fellow Conservative when you are at fault in misjudging my intent? I will not respond in kind. Please reconsider my actual stance.
For the good of our country, we Conservatives MUST remain united in the face of both domestic and international enemies.

C'mon, it boils down to, "show me the money."
