Ahh, back to doing whatever the "polls" say are we -

Well I guess we should just open our wallets even more and put billions more into New Orleans then as well....shouldn't we. Considering ABC & NBC news were showing polls out tonight saying over 65% of Americans don't feel GWB has done enough for the victims of hurricane Katrina....and that more $$ is needed.

The reality is those against the Port deal are doing so based out of emotion. Not reality and certainly not by having all the facts. Or do you honestly presume that the majority of Americans understand how U.S. (and World) ports operate? - Please.

"The reality is those against the Port deal are doing so based out of emotion. Not reality and certainly not by having all the facts."

I actually think that one of the reasons that you are probably seeing such tremendous opposition to this deal is a direct result of the administration's inactivity on the border and illegal immigration issue. Many people, rightly or wrongly, see this port deal as another step in a globalist agenda. I guarantee you that if Congress and the WH had been doing their jobs protecting the border, you would not see such hostility to an issue like the port deal.

I'm sick of people of your ignorant ilk accusing all those who disagree with you of basing their opinion on emotions not facts. The fact is that the U.S. citizens have seen through this globalist charade and have decided that the port deal is not in the interest of their Country.
The pro port deal, pro anything Bush wants, crowd have been filling these posts with the most emotional attacks against those who disagree with them since the Harriet Myers debacle. Wake up! This deal is not good for the United States even though it might be good for some peoples globalist agenda.
I have posted numerous times facts, including the fact that this is about more than 6 ports, only to have these facts not countered but ignored.
The decision has arguments on both sides. Most of the anti-port deal posters clearly understand this. The pro-port deal posters are the ones that can only see as far as there emotions allow, which isn't too far, and refuse to see that there are good arguments on the other side. Name calling and ad hominem attacks have become their modus operandi. FR should be a forum for those who both agree and disagree to be able to have a civil, logical, unemotional discussion about important issues, such as the port deal, without being personally attacked or having their motives or intelligence questioned.
We are not liberals, lets not act like them.
