1. Schumer Up now!

[Coexist]

2. 'we will STILL be introducing our legislation this afternoon'

"CFIUS conducts a full thorough and independant investigation"

[suffragette]

3. Please keep the info coming for a cuberat

Can't access it myself right now.

[pearl]

4. I just called his office

Said he was an apologist for the WH and gave it to them.
oooh so worried about the Arab World sensitivities.
We round up Arabs all over the world,
invade in the middle east based on a lie.
torture and mayhem throughout the middle east and

now we're sooo worried about the "bias"
What Shit.

[Coexist]

5. "is CFIUS structured properly in a Post 9/11 world"

hahahaha

[suffragette]

15. Was that from Schumer?

If so, both he and Hillary are kicking butt at throwing the "Post 9/11" mem back in their faces.

[Coexist]

17. Yes! It was him

Warner was only up for a minute pushing the deal, the rest has all been Schumer.

[suffragette]

19. Good going - this needs to be said this way.

Thanks for posting this thread, FLDem5.

6. New Republican spin point: Warner just said UAE will increase security at

the port if UAE takes over.

That really settles my nerves. Boy!

Warner also stated: Why would the UAE put so much money in a port and allow the security to be comprimised.

My reply: Could be many reasons.

[IsItJustMe]

22. * already said he would veto any attempt to stop it. So now what happens

if information comes out in this 45 day investigation that is negative to wards this deal?

I already know the answer: More Orwellian spin.

[Coexist]

7. "will the investigation be independent - can they have an open mind"

"if the report is kept secret, and only open to the President, what good will the report be??"

[spanone]

8. Schumer will kick some ass. Warner is just too damed predictable.

Bush* could be caught with his pecker in his pet goat and Warner would have a wise old view of it all, never blaming the 'selected' one.

[Skidmore]

11. "Old wise view" LOL

I swear Warner practices "Senator" in front of the mirror at night.

[elehhhhna]

20. any man who was Liz Taylor's 15th husband has a judgement problem, imo

[WinkyDink]

25. Hush! Today's her birthday!

(She's my idol! LOL!)

[Coexist]

9. "the president has not said he has an open mind"

"I think the report should be made available to the Senate and the HOuse and the non-classified part should be made public"

[Coexist]

10. 3rd question: Evaluation

there ought to be an... ability for this body and the other body to disapprove of this deal

[Coexist]

12. the Legislation want Congress to be able to DISAPPROVE of this deal.

Yes. It is being presented by 5 (R) and 5 (D)

S2333 is the Bill number.

[katsy]

13. Someone needs to cut through...

the spin put out by repigs.

If the UAE is an important ally in *'s war against terror (snigger), it should remain so regardless of the whether the port deal goes through... unless the government of UAE is blackmailing the U.S.

Would Great Britain declare the U.S. an enemy if an American company won a contract over a British company? Of course not, so stop the bullshit.

[Coexist]

14. "how much is the American part of the port area walled off"

Still Schumer.

I don't quite understand that.

[Coexist]

16. it would probably get a Veto-Proof majority - Oh no he did not!! HA!

That is great.

[Coexist]

18. "amendment after amendment after amendment that I and others

have brought to the floor in the past (re: port security) have been voted down, usually down party lines"

Anyone know if that is true?? That would be a KILLER issue in November.

[suffragette]

26. I know Patty Murray has been pressing hard on this issue for some time

See http://murray.senate.gov/news.cfm?id=251786
and http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp-q=PORT&sp-a=sp10025fe3&sp-p=all&sp-f=ISO-8859-1&searchsubmit.x=0&searchsubmit.y=0&searchsubmit=Go

[Coexist]

21. looks like that is it. Floor yielded

[pearl]

24. "War on Freedom"

Hey guys, Did you hear Warner claim there is a War on Freedom.
He probably meant to say War for Freedom but he inadvertently let
the truth slip. I wonder if Crooks and Liars might have captured it.

[WinkyDink]

23. More weakness from Dems, it seems to me.

Harry Reid sounds more milquetoast than Percy Dovetonsils. Test-driving the slogan "Dangerous Incompetence".

Smaller syllables, Harry. And more BRUTAL words than "incompetence".
