All I know is this issue has taken over FR much in the same way that the Schiavo saga did--with the same strong emotions too-candid posts. Also, my local talk radio host is completely married to the anti-port philosophy and has become unpalatable. Usually I listen in the mornings as I'm getting ready for the day but now I can't stand to listen to the rants. The anti-port faction seems to advance "it doesn't feel right" as its main argument.
True. I love John Gibson on Fox but today he sounded like such a thumb sucker. First he admitted that all the arugments for the port deal were reasonable. Then he blabbered on about "Why does the deal have to be with the UAE." Which is so lame.
