So why are the republicans being forceful with the UAE deal?

[FreedomAngel82]

I'm listening to Stephanie Miller's show from the 28th in the first hour and Jim makes the point how they are probably being forceful because they have lots of information that could be damning to the Bush administration. The republicans came out against this and than a few days later they were all for it.

1. Someone knows which skeletons are in their closets.

2. A coverup by making the deal inevitable

If it's inevitable, then there's no contest. No contest, no MSM interest (nothing to film, no arguments, no more finding the winners and the losers), no political fallout, and the RW media tells everyone that the only people still worried are sore losers and irrelevant democrats.

It's the usual MO.

3. It's an easy issue to "distance" themselves from Bush on

4. NSA

Everyone is running scared.

The only answer to why the current lawmakers are allowing the current administration to break so many laws is that they are scared.

Otherwise, it makes no sense at all.

5. Follow The Money - Again !

The ploy Rove is using is simple. You want to be re-elected? Do you want us to finance your campaign with funds from the GOP? Do you want appropriations for your district?

Then do what we say. If not we have a candidate that's willing to run against you in the primary that we'll back and finance.

6. Why dont they form a separatist R. party? EOM

The right wing money of the super elitists will stay where it is.

8. Well, it's pretty obvious Bush & Co is getting something they.....

.....want VERY BADLY. I'd say it probably involves silence. About what?

Possibilities are;

UAE has specific information, in black and white, that Bush & Co either paid someone to carry out 9/11 or at the very least knew, months in advance, that it was coming.

Bush & Co know exactly where Bin Laden is but won't pick him up because he would spill his guts about US and Bush & Co.

Also could be international issues that Bush & Co want to keep private until the secure a deal that will screw China and/or Russia for years to come.

Am I wrong??
