Amen ,Thank You ,I agree .Why this outcry now ,It seems to me all these politicians protest to much,No one is concerned about COSCO and how the Chinese have ports surrounding us and they control both ends of the panama canal ,I just cant understand this firestorm about something that has been business as usual for years,Maybe Rush had a good angle on this the Longshoreman Union,Tommy Franks said it in his Statement The port of Dubai is the best run port system he has ever seen .Effeciency is the enemy of unions ,less members paying dues, deserves some looking into

Election Year Politics, Racism or both? Who knows.

This seems to be a major reason for the objections. The union bosses, movers and shakers have used people like Gaffney to stir the pot of xenophobia, then dem politicians came in as "concerned for America's safety"

Speak for yourself. Many of us have been decrying this for years. Calling people who object to this deal racists is as much a non sequitor as calling people who were pointed out Harriet Miers' lack of qualifications for SCOTUS sexist.
