Sorry, Bush won the second he mentioned a veto. There is no way that Congress, up for election this year, will shun their single best campaigner--that's Bush--over a change of OWNERSHIP (not staffing or administration) at six ports. It ain't happening.

I don't know what Congress can do anyway. If they passed a law, what would it say?

"Sorry, Bush won the second he mentioned a veto."

You may indeed be right about that, in which case we may be exchanging the phrase "Pyrrhic victory" for the much easier to spell "Bush defeat". (and yes, I had to look it up)

RUN RUDY RUN!

>>>There is no way that Congress, up for election this year, will shun their single best campaigner (Bush)

Having Bush "help" you on a campaign may be the last thing you'd want.

Right now all liberals hate Bush with great passion. And an increasing amount of middle-of-the-roaders and conservatives have become disillusioned with Bush over his love of illegals and... now this. This leads to dispondency.

No, I think Bush might not be a help to many campaigns at the rate he's throwing away his political capital.

The Harriet Myers affair was bad, but this is a spoiler for the next elections. Bush is certainly out of touch with the people that elected him. It will show in the next election. Hopefully this will be our last Yale president. I don't think our country can take too many more.

When the dust clears on this way over blown issue, people will understand that all DWP is buying is the right to get a cut of the transactions, not much different than the many companies who manage credit card transactions for a WalMart or Home Depot. They will have no say on security issues or the day to day operations, just the financial transactions

I have to agree with you on what is actually happening - no biggie except the new management company is Arab. GWB is politically tone deaf. Over at DU land they are suggesting they go out and tangle with the longshoremen!! he he he he - I can't wait for this to happen. They don't know what they are messing with. below is from DU

If Bush refuses to stop the sale, and congress doesn't act fast enough, we need to show them that we are serious. We need to picket the gates of the ports. Nothing in or out for at least one day. Even pugs can relate to this. The momentum is on our side. Read my posts on this at http://pleonexiabeyondhubris.blogspot.com / I live near the ports in Philly. The thought of this scares the crap out of me, and it should scare you to. Anybody up for a protest?
