"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.

You're probably right on this - But that doesn't make those opposing the Ports deal any less intellectually dishonest over this issue.

Furthermore the whole "lack of border security" is a lighting rod issue that has been used and overblown to some degree.

There is more profiling going on at our borders then most are aware of (for a number of reasons). I'll leave it at that.

You are 100% absolutely correct, NOBODY and I mean NOBODY trusts this administration on the issue of home land security. The administrations policy of open borders and allowing massive illegal imigration is comming home to roost.

Wise words. Bush has no credibility on border security issues.

As always, Mrs. Schlafly proves herself to be a true conservative patriot.
