Even Rick Santorum (who is sweating out an uphill re-election bid) is choking on his own bile to join the Democrats on this "issue" because he figures the ignorant rabble will actually buy the sound-bites they hear on their car radios that we are about to be overrun with docks full of Muslims fork-lifting A-bombs off of ships and onto waiting trucks.

The American public is truly stuck on stupid on this issue. The Democrats are demagoguing it, and the Republicans are acting like lemmings, scrambling to get to the right of the Democrats on it.

I have never seen ignorance prevail in such a blatant way.

"The American public is truly stuck on stupid on this issue."

It's understandable when you have people with the security competence of, say, Frank Gaffney stating that it's a dubious deal. But when you read his editorial you find his reasoning is weak and unconvincing.

You're sounding pretty stupid yourself on this issue.

Are you trying to tell me that the risk of a terrorist attack at one of these port is the same if American companies are running it or an Arab country is running it.

Ignorance is truly contagious.

You can't tell me that some Arabs wouldn't observe how the Homeland security operates at the port facility and tell some of their buddies back home.

You people need to get a grip, GWB isn't always right.
