About the UAE Ports deal, why don't the Dems
march into the Senate tomorrow and say due to this unparalleled threat to our security they are shutting down the Congress until it is resolved.
Reid did it a few months ago over the Intelligence Report (where is that thing anyway?)
Any Repub who objects can just called to be not serious about security.
Yes it's grandstanding, but it's about time we do some. This is an issue America will stand behind.

3. I really feel
that if the Dems don't try to get traction on this issue, we shouldn't be very optimistic about the Nov. elections.

4. the real problem is that 2 9/11 hijackers were from the uae and money
that supported the hijackers was run through the uae.

AND THERE HAS BEEN NO MEANINGFUL INVESTIGATION.

so why should we allow a company from the uae to run our ports?

5. Joe Lieberman was just on the evening news "representing"
the dems. He said that we should give these guys a chance. They might be 'good guys'. He just tied a nice big red ribbon around this done deal.

:nuke:

7. Yes. Used to be a dem until he went in for a root canal
and the wingnuts chloroformed him and gave him a lobotomy. Same clinic that did Zell Miller's dentures.

8. Why is he being so coy?
Leiberman should just wear a sign on his back that says:

"Please kick me out of office -- please! I'm not asking, I'm telling. Please!!!!"

What a buffoon ...
