[Twist_U_Up]

Every person that is in political trouble are the first out against this issue.
Frist,Hastert,Boner,*,King etc etc etc

Where are the Dems all of a sudden ?

Getting weak ?

The media is playing us

Rove is playing us

BEWARE

[SeattleGirl]

1. I'm not a big conspiracy theorist or a glass half empty person

But I have to say my eyebrow is raised a bit by this. I'm not sure if there is more mischief afoot with this Administraion, but on the other hand, maybe the common man and woman on the other side of the political fence from us, really are pissed off about this, and are pressuring the repukes in Congress.

We'll see.

[slor]

2. I believe the Dems were...

the first to speak out.

[Twist_U_Up]

6. They were

Schumer,Hillary but they are now being overwhelmed by repubs in the media is helping

[FreedomAngel82]

12. Yes

And than they followed. Of course they get more media attention. :eyes:

[htuttle]

3. You're suggesting that Bush is sacrificing himself for his party in 2006?

Since when have you EVER, EVER known Bush to be willing to sacrifice even the smallest bit for anyone?

??

Just saying that, like the Scorpion, his nature is his nature, and he can't change it. I think he was hoping that nobody would really notice the ports deal.

[Twist_U_Up]

8. whys he worried

his polls are in the tank and he cant be reelected. time to start making the repugs look like they are strong on security

[Vincardog]

9. aWoL is not knowingly sacrificing himself he is managed.

He is too LAZY to actually make decisions. His handlers are leading him into the shredder.

[FreedomAngel82]

21. I think they were expecting to get away with it

They were thinking the republicans would be following them etc. but they're pissed off now too. They weren't expecting it I think. They've thought all this time now they were above the law and could get away with anything but now this has surprised everybody.

[Warren DeMontague]

4. All it means is, this ports deal is such a rotten idea

even the usual pinhead suspects can figure it out.

[Vincardog]

5. Agreed. This is a Ploy to allow the Republicans to distance themselves

from the festering stink coming off the cancerous aWoL in the White House.
Where are the Democrats? Where is the Fucking Leadership?

[Twist_U_Up]

14. Not on the Tee Vee thats for sure. nt

[pretzel4gore]

7. the pigmedia going 'oink'

cuzthat's what pigs do......nevermind the hand-quicker-then-eye crap the monkeyfarts are doing; it's a scheme to waste our time. bush is a vicious criminal; and the pigmedia are his accomplices. enuff said (IGNORE PIGMEDIA; JUST USE THEIR EVERY ACTION TO DEFINE THEM AS CRIMINAL RUN ORGANIZATIONS) they will hate that

[FreedomAngel82]

10. Clinton and Schumer have come out

Clinton has a bill and Schumer got together with a republican who lost a family member on 9/11 and they had a press conference.

[Twist_U_Up]

15. and Frist is hijacking it. nt

[magellan]

11. We're all downwind from DC these days (nt)

[shance]

13. Another distraction from the NSA scandal?

Their dog and ponying something.

[Twist_U_Up]

16. That too,Patriot Act also

How many times can people get pissed on and told its raining,before they catch on ?

Just beware and pay attention

[SeattleGirl]

17. Not necessarily. More like another piece of s**t Chimpy is

trying to pull off. I had lunch with my co-workers today, and one of them said, "You know, there are so many stories, so many scandals, so many potential scandals, going on now, it's hard to keep up with them." I agree. If there were just one or two stories, I would definitely see this as something to take attention away from those one or two stories. But I think it's reached the tipping point now, where Chimpy has overreached, and people all over the political spectrum are sayin, WTF? I could be wrong, but that's how it seems to me.

[HeeBGBz]

18. It does seem like a power play of sorts

I just don't know whose power is playing or for what. Other than lots o' ill gotten gains.

[yellowdogmi]

19. I think you are right.

I have been saying this for days. What better way for the repukes to shed the image of lockstep then by blocking *'s deal. It will also provide the illusion of bipartisan cooperation to the general public. We are being played. Been saying it for days. The only way to beat this is to be first and loudest. Unfortunately we are already too late. Repukes put the breaks on this and they look like they are protecting America. It was a lob and we missed it.

[mdmc]

24. the gop opposition is the big story

but who will get this contract if this deal falls through? No-bid contract for...

[yellowdogmi]

26. There is a money trail to follow

but with the issue of national security involved I have to believe that it is meant for a political advantage. Either they want to paint us Dems as oblivious to security issues or paint themselves as nonpartisan best intrest of the country coopertive statesmen. The $$$ will go to manchurian global(halliburton) or Carlyle group. That is just flame bait. To make us look like the angry left. I haven't got it all figured out but I am sure this is not what it seems. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop then Frist came out against it this morning. By being first and loudest we got caught choking the chicken again. Repukes can claim nixing the deal was a security issue. Dems were sleeping and would have allowed the deal....... ad nauseum. Still thinking on it. But it has to be more than $$$$$

[mdmc]

27. oh.

i was just sayin that the dems have been fightin this treason all along, while some gop are just wakin up.

You can't say Senate Override! without a loud dem voice!

[Joe Fields]

20. Again, for the 35th time, repeat after me.....

It's not on their "to-do list" to give a rat's ass what anyone thinks, except his defense contractor buddies. Guarantee you, he won't piss them off.

[FreedomAngel82]

23. Exactly

They believe they are above the law and can get away with anything. Perhaps the Cheney shooting deal was what showed them this for sure.

[Twist_U_Up]

25. when you have the most loyal neo cons

coming out against asshole, you can bet something stinks.

You actually think that these nazis couldnt all push this through ?

By god they have already stolen elections, allowed 9/11,anthax etc etc etc

you think a silly little business transaction would hinder these thugs any.

I dont

[zippy890]

22. veto gets overriden - Contract to guard ports goes to...

Halliburton- good ole american company,

its a win/win

for the repubs looking to get elected (Whose the toughest on them A-rabs)- to some big american corporation
and fatcats

ugh, i'm getting really really cynical

[Sydnie]

28. McCain has come out in support of blivet**

Hard place to be right now for him, isn't it?
