Thank you, SeaBiscuit!

I'm sure Sean Vannity was all over this today...

Can't imagine why anyone would use "Birchite" as an ad hominum.

Really?

Top Ten Ways to post like a conspiracy lunatic.

Recognize any of the this nuttiness from THE NEW AMERICAN?

[sinkspur]

I'm sure Sean Vannity was all over this today...

He didn't say a word about it. He was on the verge of a stroke over the ports deal.

[sinkspur]

IF Americans react to this deal like they did over the ports deal, the outrage from Americans will sink the GOP in 06, and probably in 08!

Americans will think it's just dandy because the media tells 'em that Chuckie Schumer is down with it.

[CWOJackson]

Sean Vannity is a fraud with an expensive hair cut.

Can you guys think of anything else we can give away?

EVERYONE IN CONGRESS?

[beyond the sea]

LOL

Get ready for the witch. Her first priority will be National Health Care.

Nope Bill Frist has done made that one possible. HIs Medicare reform deal? A spin off of Hillary Care.

[plain talk]

Again we have a situation where it's probably just an ownership change but people will demagogue it in ignorance. However perception is reality unless the ones championing this can explain it properly for the masses. With these increasingly complex business arrangements this becomes harder and harder to do.

If I were Bush I wouldn't allow this crap to go on. Why give your enemies such ammo to split your base with?

[Fruitbat]

Yeah, I don't know what's going on w/ him. Seems almost as if what he did for the Iraq War now, in hindsight, was simply a personal vendetta that he walked into that just happened to coincide with public opinion. Otherwise I just don't know how to explain his queserasera quasi-liberal attitude.

[beyond the sea]

Get ready for the witch. Her first priority will be National Health Care.

Nah.

Her first priority will to be to try to kill forums such as this fine one.

I'm sorry, Trotsky.

That's not how things work in this country.

[sinkspur]

He's too late. Bush has already signed the deal.

Hunter's just as big a hack as Schumer.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Isn't that the same line you were peddling during the Dubai ports cowpatch this administration stepped into?

You seem to be very good at making bold, sweeping declarations that prove to be incredibly wrong in their predictive value.

[plain talk]

Yes, that how it works. The masses vote and what they say matters. So perception is reality. This issue will be demagogued to death like the port deal and will die unless the admin figures out how to educate the public. It will splinter the base and the dems vote as a block.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

The public is not in need of remedial education.

I think you're confusing us with the back-slapping, oil-infatuated, Gulf Arab-enabling multipolarists in this administration, which seems not to learn from any of its past mistakes, no matter how many times it has made them.

[sinkspur]

Isn't that the same line you were peddling during the Dubai ports cowpatch this administration stepped into?

Not a peep about this, on any talk shows on cable.

I'm afraid, in the high dudgeon over the Mexican boycott, the Doncaster deal has slipped under the radar.
