"To hear Hannity and Levin you would think the world is about to come to an end and it's all the President's fault."

I think the hysteria is with the bushbots. Their whole world seems to come down upon them when some fellow republicans/conservatives point out a Bush mistake. Isn't this how despots come to power, through blind allegiance, no fellow party members daring to point out what they percieve as a big mistake?

I voted for Bush, and I like to think I had some small part in getting a few others to vote for him, but I recognize him as a fallable man, capable of mistakes. What's with all this hysteria when conservatives point out a possible Bush blunder? Are we so insecure that we think the whole ship will sink because our guy makes an occassional error in judgment and we call him on it? Would it be best we just shut up and go stick our heads in the sand? This blind allegiance stuff I see gets scarey sometimes.

I may be a 'bushbot' whatever the hell that is but would you please explain in detail just what evils we would face over what we do currently?

Exactly. Bush's people didn't due their due diligence on the deal.

Why should they be shocked when we ask them to do more than a 25-day review on this deal?

Regardless of what the friends of Dubai say, there are national security implications to this deal and this rush job is an insult to those of who voted for the President.

This is REALLY funny! You haven't been around much the last few days, have you?

The anti-Bush crowd has been in emotional trauma...........we're just trying to calm things down around here, and make people THINK and not just EMOTE.

This is about the Port. President Bush did not initiate the deal. His cabinet approved the deal and I do not consider the deal to be a mistake.
