8. RimJob got the RNC email two days late

The one that said, get your neck-snapping geeks in line pronto, or there'll be no checky-wecky next month.

2. Freepr=No Brains

No sense of self... no identity.

10. Yes, I saw it before my very eyes just what stupid people they are..

In the beginning, they were SO against this issue even calling for a rally! Course as soon as the thugs in the WH realized neither party likes this deal, they immediately started w/ the propaganda and new talking points in a matter of days. As soon as this tripe and Rush started, the freepers did a total 180 degrees. Never seen anything like it. They are all salesmen's dreams.

14. They are the kind who can be led to do anything...

and that is what's so frightening about them.

[caledesi]

19. Exactly....if they can "turn on a dime"....scary! nt

3. Just remember

this is freepers, and even among them only slightly more than half support it. I doubt that a substantial number of the general public has changed their views on this.

4. I predicted when

the story first broke that Bush would give into his base and they would return to him. Boy, was I wrong. He held firm, and they came around to his position.

The man has a handle on his base that no Dem leader can approach. It's a good thing he can't run again.

7. His "base" is a mirage.

[Burning Water]

16. I don't think so.

Somebody is voting for the man. What about all the stupid, ignorant "'Murkans" I read so much about. Ain't they his base?

15. saw it coming too -- did this "toon" up this morning....

[adriennui]

5. bushbots got to them

it's blasphemous to disagree with the chimp....they always come around.

[me b zola]

6. Unfortunately, I predicted this

The talking heads will tell them what to think and they will fall into line---EVERYTIME. This is why bush* agreed to the forty-five day waiting period. The puke congress needs the polls to show that they will be supported by the mindless sheep before they will back the port deal.

Pretty sick shit.

[ThoughtCriminal]

9. They had to wait until they were told

what to think.

11. Once they figure out

it's all just part of the selling off of America, turning us into a world run by multi-nationals, then they'll all fall in lock step.

Here's an article by Thom Hartmann worth reading: http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0227-20.htm

12. wolff just said that, I couldn't hear who called Frist a flip

flopper with this port deal

[pinniped]

13. You knew it was coming. These freaks just can't say no to their....

leader.

Truly sad. They are beyond repair.

[f-bush]

17. Of course their flipflopping...

can't be opposing shrub, now, can we? The stormtroopers must have gotten their marching orders from Rove
