why haven't the media and the Dems been able to convince 81% of americans with their lies about the "illegal, warrantless domestic wiretaps" story? I mean, its the same idiots out there - right? where they smart just a month ago on Alito and the wiretaps, and they all of a sudden got dumb?
forget this line of argument on this one. you have your positions, we have ours, we just differ on this - that's all. most of the debate has been honest, except when it resorts to the religious bigotry attack. the UAE owns the essex house in manhattan, I pass by it every week, they even rebadged the sign with some arabic name - I don't see any protestors out in front asking congress to divest them of it.
They reacted out of FEAR!
It's that simple.
Led by lies and hysteria.
Some don't.
Some of the Dem garbage is so far off the cliff, that just about NOBODY, not even those in their own ranks, will believe it.
The calumny about the wiretapping ( which it wasn't and even YOU are quoting the Dems, with that ), was overplayed.
Yet, you have just said that "the deal is dead". The "deal" is NOT dead! DPW bought P&O. THAT WAS THE DEAL!
Part of the buyout included the LEASE of terminals in six American ports; not the ownership of PORTS.
Yes, the UAE not only OWNS various properties throughout America, but they also own an airline, which flies in and out of America.
And with all of the hysteria, there very well might soon be protesters demanding that they divest themselves from all ownership of anything and everything here. Did you miss the threads about that? Some nutter Congresscritter has a Bill, wherein it states that ALL American entities own by foreigners must be sold to and run by Americans.
"the UAE owns the essex house in manhattan, I pass by it every week, they even rebadged the sign with some arabic name - I don't see any protestors out in front asking congress to divest them of it."
Is the Essex House a security risk?
