Rove let this one get away from him.
Do you honestly believe Rove is reviewing port contracts? It was a done deal, and then word got out because it had a hint of national security on it. Whether some people want to admit it or not, this is a very hot topic. I know it is easy to just brush it away as innocuous contract between to private parties, but in this case, the knee-jerks are strangely (and electorally) in unison on this: Frist, Hastert, Ridge, Delay, Coburn, Inhofe, etc... So Bush needs to address it. You know, when I hear that a nation is going to be operating six of our biggest ports, the word "operating" seems to be reeeeally intricately involved. As I said before, let them practice down in New Orleans first, and then we will see about the other five.
Yes, exactly. I've heard a lot of very accurate fact sharing and pointed, well expressed concerns on this one day's television alone, and all from Republicans -- Governors, Congressmen (no women) and Senators. All say they want this "deal" revoked by the President to avoid...the obvious override of a Presidential veto, both of which I am sure will occur.
I don't support this Port Deal. I'm a Republican and I voted for President Bush. He needs to get with the program. I'm concerned.
