May 15, 2008 Reid Rejects President's Reckless And Irresponsible Remarks Calls on President to Explain Inconsistency Between Administration Actions and His Words Today
Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the following statement today in response to President Bush’s remarks before the Israeli Knesset:
“Not surprisingly, the engineer of the worst foreign policy in our nation’s history has fired yet another reckless and reprehensible round. More than seven years into his Presidency and in the sixth year of the directionless Iraq war, President Bush has yet to learn that his brand of divisive partisan rhetoric is precisely what has made America and our allies less secure. And for the President to make this statement before the government of our closest ally as it celebrates a remarkable milestone demeans this historic moment with partisan politics.
“President Bush’s own actions demonstrate that he believes negotiations – at the right moment, under the right conditions and with the right leaders – can both show strength and produce results. He has relied on negotiations with North Korea and Libya, two state sponsors of terror. And by conducting discussions with Russia, China, Libya, North Korea and Iran in recent years, President Bush has demonstrated his belief that negotiations can be a tool to advance America and Israel’s national security interests. I call on the President to explain the inconsistency between his Administration’s actions and his words today.”

After the way they spinelessly refused to fight on any level while the enemies within, in full demon-shriek, tore down this Great President 24/7/365 I am ready to let them all go down the drain and just give it over to the dims. These slimy jerks have given up any right to be supported by the rest of us. I am now moving to the group who believes we need to wash the so called pubs out in a landslide as the only hope that the message will be delivered that conservatives with stones, and none other, must rise up if ever the left is to be defeated.
Worst foreign policy in the nation’s history? Bush may be unpopular, but he deposed Saddam and the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
In contrast, how’d that Jimmy guy do, again?
Pelosi stated that this statement is unbecoming of the office of the presidency.
And I say, what was Billy boys escapade in the oval office called?
The truth hurts, democrates = the party of appeasement
Picture Daffy Duck saying “reckless and irresponsible.” That’s what I thought of when I say the headline.
How about Willie’s Tomahawk Tantrums after the various attacks, fireworks for a pre-warned enemy to watch from miles away except when it was an aspirin factory.
What an f’n pant load.....
Well,as disgusted as I am with the pubbies I can't do that.We have troops on the battle field,I have children and grandchildren working hard for their future. I can't give up and let the rats have total power over government. I have to do all I can to see the rats defeated in this election. My own conscience demands it.
May this wretched, evil man rot in hell,
May the sons and daughters of this wretched, evil man curse his name,
May his remaining days on earth be as dark and horrible as the words he spoke.
May we never hear his utterances without cleansing our souls with prayer for decency and good
May this wretched, evil man’s party wither away to dust and blow in the winds disappearing into a bleak wilderness.
God Bless George Bush, a REAL American Hero!
Yes: well-oiled and sticking it right up America's ass.
The President struck a nerve because he called the Democrats on their treachery. They insist on a foreign policy based on apology and the presumption of American guilt, and criticize their own President loudly and publicly, but then pretend to be offended when they themselves are criticized for their perfidious behavior. And whenever the Bush Administration has given in to its weaker impulses and agreed to negotiate with slave states and terrorists, instead of congratulating Republicans, the Democrats have (predictably) chastised them for being unprincipled, as Harry Reid did in essence today.
Are you listening America? These are the people to whom you would entrust the security of yourselves and your children. This is not a game, it is life and death, and the Democrats have chosen sides against their own nation. I think we used to have a name for this behavior, back in the days when reason ruled.
Where are the Republicans????? Why don’t we have our fearless {I wish} leaders backing Bush up on this????
I guess we will have to depend on talk radio to call them out on this one also. Boy this is getting old.
I live in S NV now, and I recently read an article about the great works of Harry Reid, including the fact that “Sen Reid kicked the Mob out of Las Vegas.” Well, I guess we should be thankful for that!?!?
Wow, the democrat operatives sure know how to fall in line and kiss Obama’s hiney, don’t they?
Of course, there are Republicans willing to stand up call the ‘rats out on this, aren’t there?
Bueller? Bueller?
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need
I thought this was satire for a moment ... oh, wait, Harry said it ... it IS satire.
Reid ought to know about irresponsible remarks. He’s an expert.
