Morgie - I'm very impressed, I think you're the first Republican I know (apart from those living here) that actually took the 9/11 commission report seriously!
What's the CSA by the way? A google is pulling up Child Support Agency, Canadian Space Agency etc for me...

lol, by the current yardstick I'm a paleo-Con, I tend to lean much more heavily towards libertarian than Republican, but I also like voting in the Primary elections and trying to shape who will be representing me, so yeah, not really a good republican so much as a good conservative.
CSA does indeed mean Confederate States of America, one of their gripes was unrelated riders, like allocating highway funds for a state in a bill that is designed to combat child porn. It's political suicide to vote against it, but voting for it also means voting for the riders. I have no problem with riders that are at least related to the objective of the Bill, and in this case blocking the port deal seems to be at least semi-related, at least on the national security front.
