"Rush was talking about htis today. He is in favor of the deal and did a bit of research. It was the longshorman's union that raised the scuttlebut to the dems. The union is worried it will harm their members."

Sorry, no. He did no study. That was a Bush talking point starting yesterday bubbling up in talk radio, not Rush first. Blame the unions. Which doesn't make sense, the unions have no less bargaining power with a Dubai company than a British one.

Actually Rush has been stating facts and not fear and innuenndo as weiner (savage) and vannity have.

BTW how is this for hypocrisy, sean vannity works for a news network(Fox) that is part owned by a saudi prince.

Rush is making himself look like a fool. If this were Clinton trying to pull such a stunt the man would be having heart attacks on the show.

The Unions put pressure on the Congresspeople, they write bills requiring further regulation of foreign companies which gives workers more money.

This is always how the unions have operated and got their way.

I know Tony did the research, and he supports it. Both hosts have had union people call in. One to Rush was not very nice.

Does "election year" ring a bell?

It's utterly illogical. If, as we are told, the "guys unloading the ships won't change", and UAE is not bringing in new labor or management, why would the unions be concerned?
