45 days for the ports. Are we going to help them rubberstamp this

[Skidmore]

or are we going to fight it?

Do we help our nation retain it's infrastructure by putting the brakes on?


Where' your hammer, folks? Let's bang away.

1. wait, do you mean oppose UAE takeover, but support free trade

management of other ports by foreign firms?

[Skidmore]

2. I mean oppose UAE takover and support fair trade and reasonable

national security measures. Let's put the brakes on this trend and see if we can reverse the juggernaut. This does us no good, nor does the rest of the world any good.

3. trade helps us all, worldwide

What should we do if the anti port deal dems concede that this is good free trade? The problem with Dems is that they have bought the dlc+gop talking points hook line and sinker. Only a true progressive vision will counter this triangulate neo con vision.:kick:

In other words, only a progressive will support govt. ownership / management of our ports.:kick: the rat worms want to PRIVATIZE ALL! Beware!

4. I'm not sure where you are coming from

but I believe that the Democratic party should espouse fair trade, and not actively participate in the screwing of all workers of the world. If they don't and hop on the R band wagon, then we vot them out too.

Frankly, I'd like to see a lot less junk made and sold worldwide and nationally. I tend to be a minimalist. How much crap and trinketry do you need?

5. I agree

to much consumerism, not enough depth. :kick: for our similarity. I think we are supporting the same positions, but that I am not articulate enough to make the written connection. :kick:
