Sorry, Tiger didn't call me the junior senator...you did....I was chuckling too much and credited him...

I would pull up all the scads of info on The matter and post, but I drove for about 7 hour today and my Rheumatoid fingers and hands are not working well. The info is eye opening and if you do a search on just her biography it is truly amazing how someone with so little experience in transportation anything, just Leftist Organizations and appointments got that Huge Important Job. There are still outstanding lawsuits against the city for damages to the victims and their survivors. Bottom line was probably cow towing to the Unions because they were paying off Chuckie in donations. JMHO.

Tiger your funny but not everyone who doesn't agree with you has an opinion based on "hysteria"..

You are absolutely right. I didn't base that opinion on a comparison with my own. I just know hysteria when I see it. The MSM puts little else on the airwaves. Its Chuckies stock and trade.

I'll just put you down under the "I Didn't Say A Word About Any Of this Until Schumer Brought It Up" column.

You either didn't read my response, or you are assuming (perhaps correctly) that nobody's going to back and compare your post with my post that you are responding to, since I obviously stated that I was completely opposed to the China/LA deal at the time. But having said that, I'm not too concerned with which column you put me under.

This threat just makes me trust them even more. Give us your ports or we will destroy you! I'm glad this deal is dead!

[TigersEye]

Yeah. Carry on with your attacks then.

[Junior_G]

Give us your ports or we will destroy you! I'm glad this deal is dead!

Yep. Business deals go sour all the time. What kind of ally is so intent on managing our port operations that they make economic threats when it doesn't go through?

I agree 100% The country club reps think that we red blooded Republicans can be scared off like the democratic sissies they are so used to fighting. Call a liberal a rascist and the PC crowd puts their heads down and mumbles an apology. But the average American could care less what you call us if we believe we are right. Argue the case on merits and we might listen to you but try to sell us a pig in a dress and call us stupid because we can see it's a pig in a dress and tell you its a pig in a dress is not a way to win positions with us. So come on bring on the immigration debate if not we will bring it on by way of our votes in Nov.

[TigersEye]

Cute. Most substance you've posted yet.

The case is going to be heard in a U.S. Federal Court...so at not every thing about the case is secret...as to UAE complicity... it is certain fast and loose practices that assisted in the deception by providing a "friendly" environment...

If their country was "friendly" to terrorists pre-2001 then so were most including ours.

Since 2001, the Port of Dubai has been a C.S.I. and a Megaports Initiative environment where WMD equipment smugglers get -- busted.

Really?

So I take it that means I should be more deceptive, no?

[Junior_G]

Awesome post. That sums it up well.

[unseen]

oh if only that was a fact but sadly many Americans have been brainwashed into thinking the WOT is a good thing. If only it was so.

Sorry, Tiger didn't call me the junior senator...you did....I was chuckling too much and credited him...

I was trying to remember if I had since I switched tactics and started acting like these others on your side.

[A Citizen Reporter]

If you think you can fool people, carry on.

You're pretty transparent to me. And without substance, as always.

[Dolphy]

What kind of ally is so intent on managing our port operations that they make economic threats when it doesn't go through?

They wanted and expected a fair hearing.

[TigersEye]

I think your opinion is right on the money. Thank you again but don't go to more work to convince me the Schumers are scum. I know it in the depths of my soul. Get ahold of a copy of "Waco, Rules of Engagement" and see how Chuckie acts when he thinks most people will never see him.

[samantha]

I don't think those idiot congresscritters understand that the isolationist Buchananites are good at making phone calls and screaming like hysterical damsels in distress to get their way,but they do very little work on campaigns and they give very little money. I have met very few Buchananites that I want to work with on anything. The best thing that bigot did was to destroy that Ross Perot party and made himself a laughing stock at the same time. I have already told my Congressman that I see the real him now and will not support him again.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

With pleasure.

Although, I've never seen someone so eager to prolong an unnecessary online beat-down, but De gustibus non est disputandem.

[samantha]

I remember it well and that was the beginning of my dislike of that Guy.
