I don't understand why "americans" who respond to these moronic "polls" are all over Bush for this and they were all as quiet as mice when Slick Willie was letting the RED CHINESE do the same thing at the ports in Long Beach. Sorry folks! I don't get it. To me, it's some kind of freaky Commie Pelosi/Boxer thing. This is a "scandal" created by the morons at the DNC and in the Liberal MSM that is being pimped by "outraged" Republicans. Geeeesh.
I am against that. When I first heard the story, I was against it. I thought the Prez was crazy, and wrong.
*Then* I found out the truth -- and now I'm for the deal.
Most people think "Bush is selling our ports". And they're against that. Most folks will *not* voluntarily go find any other info, so they'll not learn the truth until later, when the deal is looked into in detail.
This poll is nothing, just temporary, based on the MSM repeating lies.
And the really special thing is, when folks find out the truth, in a few weeks, once everyone has looked at this company with a microscope up the private regions (assuming they find nothing), it'll be the opponents of the deal that look like idiots, and the polls will swing the other way.
The MSM lies because lies work temporarily.
This is no big deal.

Because the Red Chinese didn't blow up the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, crash an airplane in Pennsylvania, blow off bombs all over the Middle East, Bali, the Philippines, etc. The Arabs and Muslim extremists have. There's an immediate and rational suspicion of Middle Eastern Arabs as de facto, real time, blood and bombs enemies. One can decide, on examination, that doesn't apply to PARTICULAR Arabs and countries, but considering the universal draw of terrorism among Muslim lands, there is a rational reflex of suspicion towards anything involving Arabs and Muslims, and US security.
China, by contrast, is a potential enemy. But there are not thousands dead and Chinese bombs going off all over the world. THAT is why Americans (not "americans") are reacting very differently to the notion of a Middle Eastern Arab sheik owning a controlling interest in port terminal unloading facilities, and the Red Chinese doing the same thing.

You captured my thoughts exactly. And his WIFE is the one leading the charge.
