I know this has nothign to do with their desire for safe ports. However, I am for the effort since the GOP hasn't been making much noise on it. It's like the immigration issue. I don't really care who takes it, as long as someone does and 5yrs ago, already. Would have been nice if it had been done by Bush, but I'll take what I can get.
This issue IMO could be the issue to swing the 06 and 08 elections......WAKE UP "W".
This is not the TIME for this. Maybe after we have true friendly allies in the middle east as a WHOLE.
WE ALL who disagree need to contact the WH and Representatives and tell them we agree for once with the DEM's on this one. We can't let the get to the 06 elections screaming W Sold us out on the PORTs....the china deal is history, MAJORITY of americans don't remember or care at this point and time ABOUT THE PAST CHINA DEAL. even if they did the MSM will never let it play.
Security at the ports is another issue and that they can't control. The unions just don't want to have to threaten a company owned by folks who don't worry about manners when it comes to extortion.
Better than 90% of international trade through these ports is false/foreign flagged and that is where the danger has always been.
