This thing was smoking a lot, but it has Mixican plates. It was some little itty bitty car called a Chevy. You could fit it in a suburban.

If we had a sense that the goobernment was doing their job in securing the ports and securing the border, I doubt if we would have had much of a problem with DPW. Given their arrogance and denial up to now, this was just pus icing on a turd cake, and they shouldn't have been surprised when we said "no thanks."

And if Schumer made points off it, and if the rats get elected because of it, that's not our fault either. Hell, maybe I'd LIKE to see them control the congress and stick a flashlight up George Bush's butt 24/7 for two years. These pubs have made me remember gridlock fondly.

They are pretty stupid, and largely hypocritical.

So stupid, in fact, that "they" have managed to create and maintain the most productive economy and dynamic democracy the world has ever known. Odd, isn't it?

Odd that they would bitch about it, and think that that strong economy can be damaged by global trade.

But, that's what many of them think.

We should organize a party to free him, no?

"as a bunch of xenophobic ignoramuses"

Maybe because that was what the Port Deal Hysterics were. And yes you arrogant children it IS YOUR FAULT. YOU were told and simply screamed down anyone who did not mindlessly regurgitate DNC talking points to validate your in the closet bigotry and hysteria. The Port Deal hysteria was the most disgraceful display of chicken little panic and economic ignorance in Modern US History. HERE is what the Port Deal was about. Way to go "Conservatives". Way to do the Democrats PR dirty work for them.

And was it not just the sweetest little Influence for Hire scam.

Eller & Co , run by fat cat Democrat Donors, got beat out for the P&O deal by Dubai Port World. They hired a big shot lawyer and filed a lawsuit. They knew the Lawsuit was crap so they scurried up to Capitol Hill to cry for help. The Unions also hated the deal cause they knew in new Union Negotiations with the new company they were going to get seriously squeezed by demands of labor saving technological improvements. Chucky Schumer, head of the Democrat Senate Election Committee, took the lobbying info and ran with it. It allowed him to do a number of things. It allows Democrats to nuke their "weak on National Security" PR vulnerability. It gets him a big wet sloppy kiss from the unions in terms of money and foot solider for the Senate campaigns. It gets him big dollars from the Port Terminal companies, it drives a wedge into the Republican base, and best of all he got Know Nothing Talking Heads like Sean Hannity, Mike Savage and Laura Ingraham etc. to do the PR dirty work for him.

The best thing is he can walk away a big winner now, OR he can go to stage two and lobby that the ports be "nationalized" like they did with the Airline Screeners. The Congresscowards, their usual gutless selves, simply looked at the polls and panicked. NEVER even thought that they should stand by the President and fight for the truth. They simply panicked 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 the knee jerk nature of their "I'm mad at Bush" hissy fit about the Terminal Deal.

Before the Xenophobe Caucus elects Chucky a saint, you may want to ask yourselves why is he scurrying over there now? Looks to me like they are sliding over to pick up their paycheck for killing the Dubai deal.

U.S./China -- Skepticism surrounds Schumer/Graham trip to China...

Posted by Zon On News/Activism 03/16/2006 1:18:04 PM PST · 1 reply · 5+ views

MarketNews International ^ | March 16, 2006 One non-U.S. Trader eyeing the Schumer/Graham trip to China and wondering why the two Senators would risk a trip to that country and taking a stance on currency and trade that likely will irritate if not offend their reluctant host. That trader and others remind of the protectionist message the trip sends around the world and they remind that with China the second largest holder of FX reserves in the world messrs Schumer and Graham need to tread lightly amid concern that a shift in China reserve management could upset a now fragile greenback and a U.S. deficit funding...

Arrogant children? That's the way Hillary views the American people. In the closet bigotry? That's another Dem gambit - playing the race card.

So in your attempts to try and associate us with Chuck Shumer, you engage in the worst of Dem tractics yourself. Boy, that will really bring people about to your point of view.

But I won't rise to your sorry flame-baiting and respond in kind, since that seems to be all you have left and seems to be all you seek to contribute to FR - DU-level incivility.

"then after spending the whole day and $200 on them, you tell them it’s time to go home and they explode into tears and theatrics while flopping about on the floor calling you “a meanie,” which is like “xenophobic,” but without the overeducated pretense."

rofl. No truer statement uttered.

What - calling those he disagrees with "arrogant children?" That is bullcrap. And he's too busy trying to pick a fight to even bother discerning who he is pinging - I went from opposed to neutral on the ports deal, but he could care less - he's apparently just here to provoke flame wars.

It could lose almost the entire first paragraph. Then it would be even better (as a rant).

I'll have to take your word for it. The first paragraph is where I stopped reading. Too many capital letters. ;)
