How can the administration get it so right (in my view) on the war and so wrong on immigration and the ports?
This baffles me. In the case of the president's immigration (amnesty) program I have made clear my thoughts about it, but the port thing confirms that there is a serious misunderstanding on the part of the administration when it comes to the whole package.
There is an uproar by conservatives as well as liberals when it comes to port security. And rightly so.
What confuses me is why in the world would the administration hand a stick to the democrats to beat them with?
That's what's happening with the port situation and that's what is going to happen with the border situation.
(UPDATE: read about it here, here, and here......here is Frist's press release...Rick Santorum distances...if it concerns national security and Jimmy Carter is for it, for many that will seal what you think about it.)
(UPDATE II: President Bush has now threatened to veto any legislation that attempts to thwart the effort for an Arab company to control key ports. Let me get this straight: McCain/Feingold was not worthy of a veto or a veto threat, but this is?!
This will never be allowed to fly and the president will waste more political capital on another silly thing...a terrible waste.)
