Here goes... Iris Weinshall is Mrs Chuck Schumer. She was appointed Sept 2000 to be The Commissioner of the NY City DOT. she was so useless/incompetent and cared more about clean restrooms on the Ferry's than Safety that the entire operation was a mess. In October of 2003 there was a horrible accident where 11 people died nd dozens were maimed. Many People were jailed and/or fired and even though Iris was cited by the US Coast Guard Investigation for running such a sloppy Organization that this incident happened she never lost her job. She is still there, and her name and Sen Schumer's are never associated. Mayor Bloomberg's Press Person used to work for Chuckie. Need I go on? She is protected........Sickening is it not?

So your point is what?.. I couldn't possibly know ??? Jack left town and that left what? I am not trying to convert you or anyone else to be in "lock step" with me.

This site is about is the sharing of news, information and opinion by grass root conservatives that believe in the Constitution...not THEM vs. US... or has the Free Republic degenerated into a virtual Animal Farm ?

Ferrous Cranus is utterly impervious to reason, persuasion and new ideas, and when engaged in battle he will not yield an inch in his position regardless of its hopelessness. Though his thrusts are decisively repulsed, his arguments crushed in every detail and his defenses demolished beyond repair he will remount the same attack again and again with only the slightest variation in tactics.

Sometimes out of pure frustration Philosopher will try to explain to him the failed logistics of his situation, or Therapist will attempt to penetrate the psychological origins of his obduracy, but, ever unfathomable, Ferrous Cranus cannot be moved.

Look familiar?

That's what it all boils down to for you folks, isn't it? No principle matters other than "winning".

Right, the mass hysteria we have seen out of the Senate and House on this issue is all about principles.

Well, if you don't....WIN, that is, I guess you're just reduced to sniping from the sidelines, eh EV?

Like you on the ports issue, I suppose. 62-2.

The only difference would be that you and all the other Republicans currently defending it would be on our side opposing it.

No kidding?

Can you link me to ALL your posts trashing the China-LA deal?

I thought I remembered you. You've been here before, with a different name, haven't you?

I saw it. Those who were against the Dubai deal and for the Patriot Act smiled the hardest at the Patriot Act Reauthorization signing. They were falling all over themselves jockeying for position behind president Bush.

Sickening but not surprising. Schumer is one of the most despicable Senators there is. I had no idea you would dig up that much info to respond with. Thank you! : )

Maybe even the Saudi-NY deal.

I'm simply saying that, if you don't mind, I'll put more credibility into people who have actually WORKED in the ports and know how they work and in people who have actually BEEN to Dubai.

Don't be offended; I'm funny that way -- I like the facts.

Where was all the ruckus when Saudi Arabia invested in ports in New York at the graces of Schumer?

I don't know. Frankly, I think Schumer's opposition to the deal is pure political opportunism and I wouldn't trust him on issues of national security farther than I could throw him.

If the Dems had won Al Qaeda would be knocking down more of our buildings by the gross by now.

Familiar? It perfectly describes you and your ilk. You have been dishing it out for hundreds of posts and you get back two or three just like it and start whining like a little girl with a skinned knee.
