2. Not voting in this one. They only pretended to be concerned
to give the appearance of distancing themselves from *.

5. Can someone tell me when they listened to us? What did I miss?
They just passed the Patriot Act. They are now probably going to give the ports over with a wink and a kiss to Halliburton?

One has to wonder if this whole deal was a set up to begin with. And Lou Dobbs was giving his best performance.

6. I am happy that Congress did finally stand up...

...and develop a spine.

However, my enthusiasm is tempered by the fact that DPW took the action--not the pResident.

It was the UAE-government owned company who stood up and said that they would sell the American portion of the deal to an American company.

Our pResident (that scum-sucking human meatball) should have been the leader on this one, and the one to insist that this deal could not happen without the support of "We the People". He should have explained to the UAE that the will of the American people was tantamount--and no deal.

Unfortunately, a foreign government was the voice of reason. That has me dismayed.

8. I'm not stunned since it is an election year and the repugs stand a good
chance of losing seats. If this were not an election year and there power was secure, they would vote what ever way the chimp wanted.

Of course we're stunned. This is a dictatorship, and the rubber-stamp legislature never dares challenge the dictator ... at least, not without his permission. :eyes:
