The best thing is they can walk away winners now, OR they can go to stage two and lobby that the ports be "nationalized" like they did with the Airline Screener. The Congresscowards, their usual gutless selves, simply looked at the polls and panics. NEVER even thought that they should stand by the President and fight for the truth. They simply panic and rolled over for the Dem's AGAIN.
No national security implications, no nonsense about "turning our ports over to Arabs" simply a business deal where the losers went to Congress to buy the influence to reverse the deal. The same Americans running the port terminals now would of been running them after the deal for Dubai Port World. The name on the outside of the terminal and the name on the paycheck given to the American terminal workers would have change and that is about it.
Simply amazing that the same people who whine endlessly about "Bush big spending" and "Big Govt Republicans" now have seen to it that there will be an expansion in the cost, scope and reach of the Federal Govt over the Private Sector. That's the REALITY which the Whine All The Time Choir just screamed down rather then admit their "I'm made at Bush" hissy fit about the Terminal Deal.
RUSH understood it but since it did NOT conform to your preconceived notions and emotional hissy fit mood, you just tuned him out. Stupid mistake. We shall see now just how much damage you all did to the Conservative cause. The Democrats are not letting go and certain of your supposed "Freeper allies" among the "Real Conservatives" are doing everything they can to fan the flames. You MIGHT want to be a little more cynical about whom you trust. Just because someone talks really tough about this issue or that for a time does NOT mean they are seriously on your side.
In intelligence work it is called a False Flag Operation. For example, Your are the KGN and want to get into NATO. The security against you is too good. So since you cannot get inside NATO, so you set up a phony "Israeli" front operation. You know some of the Rightist American officers were not happy with the way Israel is being cut out by the Euros from Nato. So these Americans will hook line and sinker for the opportunity to give "under the table" briefing about plans and naval operations in the Med to an "Israeli" source What they are in fact doing is handing the info straight to the KGB via a "False flag" Israeli sleeper agent.
NOT everyone on this website is actually Conservative NOR actually interested in the same goals you are. WATCH what they post. Really curious how certain posters do everything in their power to push anti Republican PR lines 100% of the time. Most of life is a bell curve. Anytime you see something that consistently groups at one end or the other of the curve, warning bells should go off in your heads. Once is chance, twice is circumstantial, 3 times is enemy actions. Any traffic analysis worth his salt would be taking a really close look if they saw the sort of communication pattern some of our fellow "Freepers" follow.
Maybe you should try to get more involved? Have you volunteered to do any political work? You obviously have a lot of time and energy to devote to it.

One thing that pops up in a cursory check is the number of posters with <2000 sign-up dates who can be counted on to be anti-Bush, no matter what the topic.
I used to think that DU types had figured a way to falsify the sign-up date. Now I think they joined FR very early for various motivations, but only surface when the big divisive issues catch on.
Boy was that a cut to the chase rant. Tell em like it is, don't mince words, and give em the bottom line. WEE!DOGGIES!
