It's that they're all waiting to hear what Hannity/Rush/Coulter, etc, etc have to say on the Port Deal. They can then completely change their opinion just like that on the basis of what these people have to say. They were like it with the Harriet Miers fiasco.

5. We don't necessarily agree with our pundits.
Extreme left-wing moonbats usually insist on evidence or at least distrust authority. Right-wing sheeple are authority driven and believe what they are told if it supports their preconceived ideas. What they call flip-flopping, I call a willingness to listen to reason.

3. Well, if they're waiting
for O'Reilly, he's all for it. UAE is our "ally" in the War on Terror. We need to make "friends" in the Mideast. Just when you think you've got Bill figured out, he ups the ante with stupid.

25. The Arabian oil billionaires are the landlord of the USA
We are so far in the hole that their puppet, Bush, cannot refuse them anything.

I think that is what the RW tapped into.
Fox TV, hate radio, and who knows what they get through the mail and internet. They use the same phrases when they talk about the issues.
Obedient followers.

6. Purple-tonguers
They gotta drink their masters' Kook-Aid to know what to say. Yesterday they were SCREAMING about giving away our bases; today they're saluting little lord pissypants for his brilliant coup against the commielibs.

To wit:

Well, I've gotta hand it to Bush. He's really sticking his finger in Osama's eye, defying Osama's efforts to create a wedge between the US and its Arab allies. He's also painting a bullseye on these six ports, but then, I'm not sure that's necessarily bad. At least we'll know what Osama's likely target is, and can act accordingly.

This is really a continuation of Bush's "bring it on" policy.

And I'm not sure it's really dangerous in terms of a security risk. But if something does go wrong, and these ports are somehow involved, Bush and the UAE will definitely get the blame, even if it's not deserved.

9. Interesting
Meanwhile, Carlyle gets the goodies. In perfect accordance with the plan. At the perfect expense of the American people.

What a bunch of sheeple.

8. How come all the right-wing talk radio and TV hosts are all angry...
...and vicious while all the liberal ones are comedians? I think liberals are generally not driven by anger and need some comedy so we don't start crying when we hear even what little real news gets through.

20. They're stumped for a word to use for those "damn libruls" so
they pulled this one out of their ass. They like to use big words, it makes them look like they know what they're talking about. Aren't you impressed?

21. Oh yeah!
I mean using big words like "Islamophobia" (despite the fact that they created "Islamophobia" with the so-called War On Terror)... I'm impressed! Little freepers have finally learned to turn on their minds...

22. They need to be careful with that. Their minds are likely to
turn on them once they realize what the little freepers have been using them for.

13. It's not about policies, it's about idol worship
Bush is the bully demigod - idol of the bigot, the ignorant and the sociopath. It's not about what he does, it's about what they think he is. He can do no wrong to these people.
