To tell you the truth...the reason I was AGAINST this to begin with, was because of Peter King....I know he has consistently come out and backed President Bush over and over...
So...when he was against it, I took notice...same with Sen. Coburn.....
However, after listening to Tony, reading posts by freepers like Liberty Lee, Cboldt..and others, I am more leaning for it (still fence sitting)....and I just wonder how much of the Congresscritter's opinions are based on "knee-jerkitis"...
Because they read the headlines and see a very un-politically correct transaction going down....and they "over-react"...
If they want hearings now, fine....but, they better get a grip on their knee-jerkitis....and I am talking about the GOP here...I don't care about the dems.
Yep, it's all an emotional response to "arabs".
Insulting and yes racist to suggest all arabs are terrorists.
Ali, there were two companies that bid to take over P & O; the Singaporean company and the Dubai-based company. The Dubai company made a higher bid.
Frist lacks leadership qualities...to put it mildly.
"Am I crazy, but isn't that socialism? "
Yes!

Yes, it is.
Yep, you are ready for your own talk show!
Bingo!!! Nothing is ever by accident!
I don't think I should do a talk show. It would be very silly.
He sounded, to put it bluntly, like an Ass on FNC. He's done. Not that this does not help my guy provided he keeps his yap shut! Senator Allen handlers, shut him up!
rp, you guys have done outstanding work on this issue. We are very grateful. Can you say Medal of Honor :)
"I wonder what some element in the UAE feel on their side on this deal (the civilians, not big business)?"
See the last part of my post 212:

Tony had King on the ropes but no KO punch. Simply not enough time to put Chicken Little out of his misery.
Two things from the last radio news break:
First, the newsreaders are characterizing this as a "port security" problem .....(just like they call the NSA thing, DOMESTIC SPYING)..
Second...he said that the White House is coming out NOW, saying that Bush didn't even know about this until it was a fait accompli! ruh-roh
LOL. I see we are both sending him similar messages.
I am praying that everything goes well with your daughter's tests today!!
Yeppers!

It's a mouthful!
I pray he just shuts up and lets it blow over! I have to go to work! Keep the buckets handy. I will be back this evening! :)
ok then, AMERICAN elves.
