Thanks. Sold out by our own side. This will turn out to be one of the most successful Political propaganda ploys in history. Democrats not only do they get the money from the competitor, they made huge political capital with the Unions plus they nuked their "Weak on National Security" PR problem.

The really brilliant aspect is they got the "Conservative pundits" and talk radio hosts to do their PR dirty work for them. And as frosting they now make their taking over at least the US Senate not only possible but probable. Way to destroy yourselves "Republicans". Way to fall hook, line and sinker for your political foes PR ploys.

I must disagree. I think that is a little dramatic. The most successful ploy in history???? This is a port deal, nothing more, nothing less. Won't even be remembered by most people in 2 months.

Strange, no one seemed concerned about this deal. One that could stiffel competition and put a lot of the US terminal traffic in the hands of one company.

Article in today's Miami Herald says Eller is in the running to pick up the deal.

I doubt it very much my fellow freeper. When the hysteria about the Ports will settle down; the democrats will be seen again by the majority of voters in who they really are “Not to be trusted on national security and defense issues”.

Dude, get a grip on yourself. It’s a business deal that fell apart amid some bad public relations. It’s not the end of civilization.

taking over at least the US Senate not only possible but probable.

Yikes. Nobody bases their vote on the success or failure of a port management business deal. You're way too emotionally invested in this.

"Thanks. Sold out by our own side."

No, the problem is that the WH didn't see this coming. It's not (and never is) the facts that matter in politics, it's the perception... Dumb A$$ Bush blew it.
