Jack Cafferty going OFF on the port issue on CNN

[Sydnie]

He was saying that any member of government that doesn't say NO to this issue each of us should work tirelessly to see that they are removed from office. The question this hour is:

What should be done to stop a deal that would allow an Arab company with ties to terrorists to run US ports?

email your response to [e-mail]

He said if we allow this to happen, we will be "all done" and we will "deserve what we get".

1. Curt Weldon is screaming for Chimpy's blood

:D

[leftchick]

4. He is calling Democrats his "colleagues"!!

:wow:

[spuddonna]

42. This is a sure sign of the apocalypse... Hold me, I'm sceered! n/t

[Sydnie]

7. I don't think I have EVER seen him so red faced

Weldon is going to have a stroke!

[Dinger]

44. What Happened? I Thought Weldon Was Pinning This On Clinton?

What did I miss?

[cal04]

2. weldon is pissed

said both sides of the aisle are mad

[CatWoman]

3. tee hee

:D

[cal04]

6. I just hope they don't cave

this is outrageous

[Justice Is Comin]

21. I call that

and raise you three hee's.

[nonconformist]

26. My thoughts exactly! nt

[FormerRepublican]

5. I just emailed him with my answer to his question.

I said:

"Impeach Bush. And all his terrorist loving friends."

[cal04]

NOW he's first realizing it doesn't matter what

Congress says
where the hell has he been

[Chevy]

8. Jack was dead on..

Bush has boxed himelf in on this..Having dug his feet in on such issue,backing out down the line would make him look weak and irrelevant.As long as he keeps it up to September he will be poison to any Repug.

[quaoar]

12. Bush just now

threatened to veto any legislation attempting to block this deal.

Bush is the ultimate arrogant shithead. I hope he does it. In addition to being his first veto, it'll be his first overridden veto.

[ramapo]

9. Security aside....

Doesn't it bother anybody that this is a huge outsourcing deal? Why aren't Americans running American ports? It shouldn't be a British or Arab or Japanese company. Let's send even more of our dollars overseas.

What the hell is wrong with us????

[underpants]

13. There is no American firm that does this

I blathered my ideas here this morning. I still stick by it but hey what the hell lets milk this for all the political edge it will give us.

10. Weldon : "connections I can't talk about yet"

awhoo! Snow...Carlyle Group? heh heh!!!!

[Carni]

11. I just sent him this lol

Jack I am all for this UAE port security thing


But I have one specific contingency...Bush should turn over his secret service detail to the UAE also.

If they can provide such fabulous security then he won't mind outsourcing his own security, so that the American people can save a few bucks (and his cohorts can once again line their pockets with graft and kickbacks)

Oh and I would also like to see Halliburton called on to provide mssrs Bush and Cheney with their spoiled foods and tainted water from now on (you know like the service they provide to our troops in Iraq)

[spanone]

15. Wouldn't it be ironic if the Chimps first veto was on behalf of the Arab

world.

[Carni]

23. What's up is down and what's black is white

Honestly have you ever seen such bizarro world goings ons?

[JuniperLea]

18. Beautiful!

I emailed too, but nothing half as perfect as yours, Carni!


:yourock:

[Carni]

22. I'll probably get a visit from the secret service lol

That didn't dawn on me until after I hit send but OH WELL! lol

[JuniperLea]

30. I'll protest until they release you!

:)


:hi:

[Carni]

43. You may end up in gitmo with me lol

But thanks! :)

[Jensen]

29. I love it! Made me LOL just thinking,imagining!

[Jacobin]

14. Here's my email to Mr. Cafferty

Mr. Cafferty:
Perhaps one of CNN’s investigative journalists could track the financial dealings involved with this proposed sale and the sales which preceded it and that might shed some light on why this administration is bound and determined to sell the ports to a country that harbors, aids and finances terrorists…including two UAE citizens who were hijackers on 9/11.

One hint would be The Carlyle Group, which financed one of the prior sales of these ports, which is an entity that Mr. Bush (41) along with some Saudi heavy hitters (some with the name bin Laden) are involved. Conspiracy theory? Check the information out and then decide what to call it.

Its like Deep Throat said: “Follow The Money.”

[Sydnie]

16. Excellent email

I hope he reads it!

[w8liftinglady]

45. hehe I emailed him about the Carlyle group earlier,too

[Raffi Ella]

17. I am so relieved that Dems & Repubs are together on this!!!

This cannot happen.The UAE cannot be in control of our Ports.They just can NOT and apparently my Government on both sides of the isle agrees with us and is going to do everything it can to stop the President form doing it.

I gotta say it feels good being united and having them serve and protect as they were hired to do.

Now lets just hope and pray that this deal does NOT go through.

[CatWoman]

19. fuck

even Bill Bennett is alarmed!!!

[pimpbot]

20. How come Wolfie is really trying to play the race card?

Either hes doing the "devils advocate" or hes behind chimpy on this. Everyone on the program so far has been outraged at chimpster.

[Sydnie]

24. Perhaps just getting the issue on the table so they can

take some well placed shots at it? :shrug:

[Sydnie]

33. They just replayed blivet's** statement - that must be where the

race card issue is coming from. He stated that we were not upset when a different country was doing it, but we are upset now because it's THIS country.

That's all they have? Guilt? Like racial profiling isn't already part of their plans already in motion here in the states. Who is he trying to kid?

[Jacobin]

25. WHA???!?!?

I must immediately reconsider my opposition to this sale.

ANYTHING Double Down Bennett says has to be wrong, somewhere, somehow

[Buns_of_Fire]

32. Really? What odds is he giving?

P.S. I call dibs on the cell next to Cafferty's in Gitmo!

[CatWoman]

27. Cafferty says he's getting TONS of emails

reading some now!!

[CatWoman]

28. all emails called for either

IMPEACHMENT or REVOLUTION!!!!!

[Coexist]

34. Woo hoo!!!!

Bring it on, baby!

[CatWoman]

36. ole lying ass Bartlett on now

too bad his nose doesn't grow by the lie.

[Coexist]

40. doesn't matter - sound bite (byte?) is out: National Security Outsourced

to Arab GOVERNMENT.

[nonconformist]

35. w00t!

Maybe, just maybe, the revolution WILL be televised.

[AX10]

31. I agree.

National Security does NOT belong in the hands of foreign governments.

[onecent]

37. WHY ARE NOT PEOPLE PISSED????????????? I SIMPLY DON'T GET

IT..AND YES I'M YELLING.....Jesus H. Christ.

I hate this man I hate him...I don't care if they come and take me...he is a doofus.

Can we send a letter to the white house and call * a doofus??/

HATE HATE HATE

[Stevendsmith]

38. This is a gift, folks.

I am so happy that BushCo proposed this outrage.

[AzDar]

39. What DEFINES 'treason'?? Literally selling our country's security

to a foreign interest(and a potentially hostile one, at that)does it for me. IMPEACH!!

[Sydnie]

41. Cafferty is explaining now why people should be upset

Second question-
Should we be more upset that this is an Arab company than we are that it was a British company? (paraphrased the question here)

[FreedomAngel82]

46. I love when he speaks

[iconoclastNYC]

47. It's must see video.

Send the link to everyone you know!

[Roxy66]

49. I need the link...please. I cant pull up Crooks and liars...so any

other link will do

[Vinca]

48. He saved the best emails for last -

the REPUBLICANS calling for impeachment.:woohoo:

[Telly Savalas]

50. So is everyone still gonna be bowing to the mighty Cafferty

when we get a Democrat in the White House and the conservative Cafferty whines and moans with double the enthusiasm?
