"In regards to selling American ports to the United Arab Emirates, not just NO — but HELL NO!"


Hey dumb ass Sue. Noone is selling the ports. The Management company that had the lease to operate the ports was bought by another company.

In fact, we passed on a chance to take out OBL because the royals who own this company were dining with him, and we decided we shouldn't kill them, too.

Who's we?

Greetings:

Maybe she will run for president.

Perhaps on a ticket with John F'n Kerry? UAE is a true partner in the WOT.

Cheers,

Greetings TheCrusader:

but I will not support him on this assinine, divisive, and potentially dangerous deal with the UAE.

This is a 'Rat wedge issue, playing on Arabophobia. Would you kindly explain what makes any deal with the UAE "potentially dangerous?"

Cheers,
OLA

IMHO, the 'Rats & MSM have hijacked the news cycle to keep the headlines free of Saddam's videotapes verifying production/possession of WMD.

Yes, no doubt their little brains have done the calculating on the new news cycle(s).

Thank you for that; This is a no-brainer for anyone in Congress listening to his constituents.

Oops, double post. Sorry, all.

[Junior_G]

If it's so darn unimportant to him that he doesn't even need to be informed about it, then why the fortress defense of it?

No kidding. Stubbornness for the sake of being stubborn makes no sense. And the manner in which conservatives are being attacked for opposing it is the most disturbing of all.

Greeting finnman69:

LOL! Slick's mouse in the pocket IS the we.

Had slick took out the creepy relatives, the UAE would have rationalized "Allah willed" their demise for hanging with OBL.

Cheers,

Whew, for a minute I thought her smartass, useless and uninformed grandstanding was a political stunt.

LOL, well in effect it is and I doubt it will work. She has several things going against her to be the next governor of this state. She's a former mayor of Charlotte (they usually don't do that well in statewide elections..see Dick Vinroot) and Republicans rarely get elected governor. In the past 110 years, Republicans have held the governorship about 12 years or so. Beverly Purdue (Lt. Gov) will probably win. But at least when Myrick grandstands, she really grandstands...

This kinda reminds me of the hysteria after 9/11 when all airport screeners had to be U.S. citizens - I hope that's not where we are headed again.

"This Arabophobia disease spread by Chuck the Schmuck on the Michael Savage Show."

Yeah, "Arabophobia" is being spread by Chuch Schumer and Michael Savage, uhuh.

[GOPologist]

You're right. She at least could have had the decency to have said, "Heck, no."

[R.W.Ratikal]

Even Democrats have found something regarding national security that they can stand up for.

I'm not so sure about Purdue getting elected. Lt. Govs don't exactly have a great track record of getting elected governor lately. Jim Hunt was the last in 1976. Then Attorney General Easley beat then Lt. Gov Wicker for the nomination in 2008. I also believe the Democratic primary is going to be quite a dogfight between Attorney General Cooper, State Treasurer Moore and Purdue and it might become a very bitter fight which might weaken whoever comes out standing giving the Republicans a better chance of winning. The state has also been trending more and more Republican overtime.

"Then Attorney General Easley beat then Lt. Gov Wicker for the nomination in 2008"

In 2000, not 2008.

Is the point not the passing of an enormous opportunity for fear of taking out his friends who are allegedly our friends?

He was out hunting with them as they planned 911. Now they get our ports without a fight...sorry I forgot America is for sale to the highest bidder. The ports of dubya-i. Has a nice ring doesn't it.

[Rebelbase]

Can anyone here remember or quote any other letter to this President, let alone from a state Senator? I applaud her action as it brings the issue of Border Security to the forefront of water cooler talk, which is where it needs to be.

Myrick is also strongly against our current 'open borders', which is a travesty of National Security.

The lilly gutted spineless jellyfish bushbot blow-hards are going to need to get whacked in the head with a 2x4 to realize the jeopardy this country faces...oh, but heaven forbid GW look bad.
