March 4, 2006 -- Has there ever been a slicker political double-play combination than Bill and Hillary Clinton? Consider how the former president, and the desperately-wants-to-be president, seek to have it both ways in the controversy over the Dubai ports deal.
Sen. Hillary - joined by her New York colleague, Chuck Schumer, and New Jersey's Bob Menendez - has emerged as a leading voice in opposition to the deal, saying, "Our port security is too important to place in the hands of foreign governments."

Your passion about true facts is a sight to behold. Don't expect it'll change many minds thought; by the way, there is just a hint of xenophobia in the air lately, present company excluded, of course.
"How can people capable of using a computer be so utterly IGNORANT of the facts of this matter after 2 weeks? There must be a genetic element. Some Invincibly Stupid Shield gene that keeps people from bothering to learn even ONE fact about this topic. The display of panic, hysteric, bigotry and ignorance on the part of some of the Port Deal hysterics is inexcusable."
All one has to do is actually get out and do something
constructive, instead of moan and groan or lecture.

Why not? She married one.
The Clintons "... count on the public not knowing what they're doing."
And .. while the Clintons weren't looking (obviously), THAT WHOLE LANDSCAPE OF CONTROLING HAS CHANGED.
The dems and the old media DO NOT set the agenda anymore. They keep flying off the handle with all their "gotcha" hysterics and days later they have to back away from what they said.
Still .. they do it over and over and over again .. meaning they are INSANE - because to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result is the pure description INSANITY - and people who have lost touch with reality.
The only people the Clintons can count on are the sychophants who are power-hungry; and the "kooks" they can appease.
WE CANNOT ALLOW THE CLINTONS TO GET BACK IN THE WH.
I know it may be hard to vote for some repubs - but what other option do we have at the moment?
The secret will be to become more activist ourselves. Get the local phone numbers of your congress people - they all have a local office in most major cities (senators) or in their district (house). Call them on a regular basis. Let them know you don't support what they're doing OR THE WAY THEY'RE VOTING ON ISSUES .. OR MORE IMPORTANTLY .. YOU AGREE WITH WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND YOU WANT THEM TO KEEP IT UP .. EVEN IF THE DEMS GIVE THEM A HARD TIME ABOUT IT.
Don't believe the old media's lie that e-mail to your congress people is ignored .. IT ISN'T. They count pro and con opinions. The secret is - don't use bad language - don't call them names (even if they deserve it) - don't threaten them - and make your position clear. Don't expect them to agree with your position - just tell them what your position is.
Rep. Curt Weldon is a good example. He was out there all by himself for a long time. However, the public got involved and little by little other congress people have been hearing from YOU and have joined in the Able Danger investigation. SEE THERE .. YOU DO HAVE AN IMPACT .. YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP IT UP - THE REPUBLIC IS COUNTING ON YOU.
Remember, Jesus warned us: "Don't grow weary in well doing". Sometimes it may look like everything is falling apart .. BUT IT'S NOT! The media just wants you to think it is SO YOU WILL GIVE UP!! Jesus also told us, "NEVER GIVE UP".
I've been having this recurrent nightmare...
I want Bill O to look into how YALE kicks ROTC off campus, inconveniencing the cadets; and yet welcomes, no, actively recruits the former Talibani twit, before other more qualified Americans!
FR thread: Foreign involvement is nothing new [COSCO Chinese gov't co runs terminals]
But time marches on and ...
Congress did not kill the Clinton deal which arranged for loans for COSCO to have ships built in Mobile, Alabama.
Congress did not kill the Clinton deal which arranged for a loan for a nuclear reactor that powers a warship-building yard in China.
Congress did not interfere with COSCO getting an exemption from US laws which "discriminate" against state owned shipping companies.
Congress did not kill the later arrangement for COSCO to build and lease a terminal at the Port of Long Beach.
"He not only supports it, he's even been advising the company on the sly on how to get around the opposition of senators like - well, Hillary."
His expertise on this is unaparalleled, and if anyone should know, it's Hill.
How did this make it into the Post? I thought they weren't supposed to go after Hillary?
That is why we need to be focusing on who would be our best candidate in '08. So someone please help me with some good choices. I'm beginning to learn some good things about Sen. Tom Coburn.
Hillary has deteriorated so much there is no way to pretty her up. I'm not saying she isn't dangerous though.
Amen, brother. They are a pox on the nation, and we suffer from the ripple effect of their corruption. We lost our innocence with the Clinton admin.
To bring this to the attention of the locals I posted the article in one of my sites..

Say it isn't so! The "pros" paradise not as billed with He-Clinton and Carter sharing the same talking points.
Hehehe...
That sure is an outrage. I hope he will pursue that topic.
The Clinton machine has layed low for 7 years.
Yes, they will be back in full force in the spring of '07.
Great Idea.
