McCain speaks on port deal

[ProSense]

He's upset at the way the Dubai company was treated. WTF? Who treated them poorly? Bush made a funky deal and tried to sneak it through and it was rightfully cancelled.

Snip...

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), one of the few senators to vocally back DP World, said the company's forced pullout could compromise future relations with Dubai, whose port is a major base of operations for the U.S. military in the Mideast.

"I've already been told that, of course, they're offended," said McCain. "I'm concerned not just because of their having to make the sale but the way they were treated and the rhetoric that was used around here."

4. I remember him saying the very same thing when Clinton was vilified

5. We Trash the more principled leaders like CARTER, CLARK, now McCain

who refused to lie about the deal to get political points.

Are we democrats behaving any better on this issue than the Sean Hannities and
Mike Savages of the world?

6. Huh? McCain was all for Dubya's little deal with the funders of the

world's terrorists...what principles are you talking about??

[Sensitivity]

8. You forget "McCain-Feingold" and many other ways he parted from

the RW on matters of principle.

He is obviously a RW nut from my point of view. But sticks to what he honestly
believes more than most.

10. McCain bailed on Feingold! He treated Obama like crap! And he

was completely silent about Bush attaching a signing statement to his torture amendment.

9. McCain doesn't have any principles

He is whoring for Bush and is whoring for the Rethug agenda.

What principles?
