Ratner rant ping to the Today show list.

And you're on the side of Jimmah

[goldstategop]

Liberals now want to cut us off from international trade and commerce. And these are the people who usually tout the advantages of our being competitive in the world market. Its politics.

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

[Echo Talon]

Sounds like the liberals got their talking points from Pat Buchanan and Michelle Malkin LOL

[Echo Talon]

And your on the side of Hillary,Schumer, and Uncle Ted!

[sport]

Did she mention Long Beach, CA?

[cripplecreek]

And your on the side of Hillary,Schumer, and Uncle Ted!

Yep and I'm not too much of a COWARD to admit to that fact.

[Chuck54]

Nah CC, I don't think GLGB or myself for that matter is on Jimmah's side.

I claim to NOT be on the side of the knee-jerkers and would think GLGB resides there as well.

If that be Jimmah's side, so be it.

Another left-wing Einstein heard from.

What about foreigners owning the 7-11 down the street, Ellen? Those brown-skinned guys could slip a little ricin into every cigarette pack and no one would know until it was too late.

[raybbr]

Why do you guys seem so determined for America to offshore, outsource and capitulate to foreign govts?

[rambo316]

Anybody notice how the RATner got a huge makeover, like face lift, hair color and new teeth? She looks like she got Nanci Pelosi's Doctor.

[Dane]

Yeah where was she when hillary let COSCO(Chinese) operate in Long Beach. Probably heard crickets from Ms. Ratner.

The hypocrisy of this bunch knows no bounds.

[Miss Marple]

Who cares who is on whose side? Jimmy Carter didn't come out on this issue until others had spoken up. For all we know, he chose to support the President just to spite the Clintons, whom he doesn't like. Or maybe he knew that if he supported it people like you would stampede to the anti-Dubai position. Jimmy Carter's peanut brain and weird motivations don't concern me. I DO pay attention to people like Tommy Franks, however.

[randita]

Earth to Ratner - we're in the 21th century. Globalization is here to stay.

What I'd like to ask is these pin headed psuedo anti-globalists is:

Okay, so we ban foreign investment in the U.S. What happens when all the countries where U.S. companies have investments respond in kind and kick us out? Where will our standard of living be then?

Where's that picture of the man with his head in a dark place?

[edpc]

So....let me get this straight. In the 90's it was OK for the Chinese getting a quantum boost from Loral in their missile technology. It was also fine for Chinese owned Hutchinson Lampoa to have control over the ports at the Panama canal.

This "issue" and the mock concern over it is so transparent. You know the memos and talking points over this are flying around Dem central as they try to avoid another thrashing at the polls in 2006.

Why do you guys seem so determined for America to offshore, outsource and capitulate to foreign govts?

When are you guys going to point out hillary's/schumer's/ratner's hypocrisy.

Ratner had no problem with the chicomms in Long Beach.

[Chuck54]

Now is it all foreign governments or just the Arabs?

I'm still waiting for all the hyperbole to disappear and for someone with more intelligence than ALL of Bush's cabinet officers to tell me just why this is a bad idea.

It's not like this is the first deal like this in history. Jeez, this is the way business is conducted and most of the knee-jerkers seem to think Bush should have been at every meeting concerning this. Talk about micro-management.
