I hope the anti port anti Bush Freepers are happy.

Among those who have the ability to think critically, that's instantly recognizable as a straw man argument, based on a false premise that anyone is against the port deal is therefore anti-Bush.

I'm not anti-Bush, but I fervently oppose the deal and applaud its apparent death.

I'm curious: You obviously think Bush was right on the port deal. Are there any major issues on which you consider Bush wrong?

Also i was refering to a specific group not all people who oppossed the bill on the merits. But there is a significant number of freepers here that dislike Bush greatly and were quite excited this failed

One final clarification. If it wasnt 3:20 in the morning I could get all this out in one response. I have to think even if one opposed the deal that the way this was shot down was horrible. We were in the middle or act day 6 of a 45 day review to where all the facts were supoose to get out. However a Republican of all people put a rider against a port deal on bill that deals with supporting our troops. That is far left Dem behavior not something we do. The propoents were just starting to get their side out. I think thats the reason besides a play for a cheap vote. However the process of how this was shot down is a seperate issue besides the merits of the bill itself. Thats not how good govt is suppose to work.
