I agree, but couple that with Schumer's involvement and there might be something to change the dynamics of the questions asked on Sunday. The press is looking for a new handle on this. Give them a handle that trashes some Congressional pubbies and they might just run with it, without realizing where it will end up (of course, I don't know where that would end up...).
The key issue, for me, is to point out the motivations of the port deal critics. My main thust on this comes from the NY Sun editorial about the contributions from the International Longshoremen's Association union (and the mob) to the people who are leading this charge, led by Peter King. But the (NY based MSM) press won't touch that notion with a 100 meter pole.
I just sent this question to Meet the DePRESSED:
If my gas company gave me 45 days to pay my gas bill and then turned my gas off after 6 days.. I WOULD BE FURIOUS!
Could it be that Schumer and Company were so eager to slam this deal quickly because they feared THIS story was going to get out?
ELLER LOBBYED SCHUMER TO SQUELCH THE DEAL!

Then Schumer RAN TO THE CAMERAS (and to quote Al GORE) "HE PLAYED ON OUR FEARS!"
This snake has a bunch of heads, and is hard to unravel to clarity.
WOW!
This is fun!
I have sent them ALL my question.... telling them of course that they wouldn't DARE address it...
THANKS AGAIN FOR THIS THREAD!
