House Panel Votes to Block Ports DealUh, Mr. President? Ummm, yeah, well, ahh, you see, uhhh, gosh, it seems that you've somehow managed to move to the left of Charles Schumer regarding our national defense. No, that's not good you moron! Now listen, with a 62-2 vote by the house panel to crush your corrupt, arabist, cowardly deal-with-the-devil, it appears that you can take that little veto threat of yours and just shove it straight up your capitulation-to-moslems ass.
(NewsMax Wires) WASHINGTON -- In an election-year repudiation of President Bush, a House panel dominated by Republicans voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to block a Dubai-owned firm from taking control of some U.S port operations. Democrats clamored for a vote in the Senate, too.
By 62-2, the House Appropriations Committee voted to bar DP World, run by the government of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, from holding leases or contracts at U.S. ports.
Bush has promised to veto any such measure passed by Congress, but there is widespread public opposition to the deal and the GOP fears losing its advantage on the issue of national security in this fall's elections.
"This is a national security issue," Rep. Jerry Lewis, the chairman of the House panel, said, adding that the legislation would "keep America's ports in American hands."
As the committee acted, Democrats on the other side of the Capitol maneuvered for a vote in the GOP-led Senate. Republican leaders said they would hold a procedural vote aimed at heading off the Democratic effort as early as Thursday.
"We believe an overwhelming majority will vote to end the deal," said Democrat Charles Schumer of New York, whose attempt to force the issue to the floor brought the Senate to a late-afternoon standstill.
Congressional supporters of the deal "are few and far between," conceded Sen. John Warner, R-Va., an administration supporter.
GOP Senate leaders hope to delay a quick showdown with Bush on the issue, but the House committee, led by members of Bush's own party, showed a willingness to defy him on a security issue in an age of terrorism.
The panel attached the ports language to a must-pass $91 billion measure financing hurricane recovery and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The full House could consider that measure as early as next week.
"One of the most vulnerable situations facing America is our ports of entry," said Rep.Bill Young, R-Fla.,chairman of the House defense appropriations subcommittee. "Whoever's responsible for those ports of entry should be American."
You see, the American people have spoken, sir, and, frankly, they just don't like you anymore. Now, sit down and shut up before you go and get yourself impeached, you idiot.

Bush is going to limp out of office like a wimpy piece of crap just like his old man did. Can't the Bush family ever stop sucking the dicks of every oil producing moslem? Forget Saddam Hussein...he wouldn't give the Bushes a dick to suck which is the real reason why they wanted to get him out.
Great to hear. I think Bush will back off after seeing this kind of opposition - it'll be just like the Harriet Miers issue.
um...what...b...solidsurfer said...
Nanc, were you about to become bad nanc before you caught yourself?
Surfer, Harriet Myers was a little rain on his parade - which he cancelled. The UAE ports deal is like a tsunami that wiped him out altogether.
No forgiveness on this one.
well, she was rearin' her ugly little head for a moment or six...
MZ: I was about to write that "In your face" was incorrect and that a different part of W was targeted, but then I read the "up your ..." part at the end of the post!

remember, united methodists are of the mind that christians have replaced jews in the eyes of G-d. this is referred to as replacement theology. according to the n.t., it is supposed to happen as to test and refine the people of G-d.
replacement theology is completely errant. only true people of G-d can see through the lies of the enemy. there are plenty of us out here, but not nearly enough. i'm spreading the word even to my christian friends who have no idea of it. it is going to get much worse before it gets better.
