Did Dubai ports get passed just last week???
I heard somewhere that after we all came together to stop this a couple years ago, they passed it late one night last week when no one was watching and no one has said a thing! Does anyone know about this?

1. I wouldn't put anything past them.
They would legislate shooting Americans dead in the street for no reason to control population growth if Bush wanted them to.

We have the most disgraceful, ineffective, corrupt Congress ever right now. We no doubt have no clue as to what they're really up to. They should all be removed from office.

4. maybe thats nancy real reason for taking impeachment off the table
once started there is no telling where this would stop and they all know it. The whole lot of them except'n for a few are complicit in all this lawlessness and have been for a while. I believe it really started in earnest with the elections of '94 when the re:puke:s took the house and senate.

2. The only reason that it didn't pass the last time is because both sides
picked up on it, and nobody wanted it. There was a break before the bill was voted on and the Senators and Congressmen got an earfull from their constituents. Had it been kept quiet the first time, it probably would have passed the first time.

3. The contract to operate the ports was sold, there isn't anything to get passed

So, no we do not have the best port operators running east coast ports. Anyway you would have heard Lou Dobbs screaming "Over my dead white body!" Remember there are people who can smell a non-WASP getting something in this world the second it happens.
