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.”

The Republicans are Class A ball.
Dingy speaks, and baby birds fall right out of the sky... dead.
Does Harry actually BELIEVE that his is the voice of reason? (raucous laughter)
Hmmmm, the shoe seems to fit and the ox appears to be hurting. Go go GWB!
Bush could say “the sky is blue” and reid and iron head pelosi would put out a press release decrying Bush’s irresponsible use of the visible spectrum. This is so lame. I wonder if they even have the courage of their convictions, or is this a complete political stunt. Wait, I know the answer to that...
The irony and hypocrisy within this statement is breathtaking.
Not one word of support from any Republican on Capital Hill.
"For the Love of God - Shut Up, Senator!"
The silk pony may have the hair, but Harry is the whining champion. Who else to better represent the party
And they wonder why they are going to get their ass kicked in the fall.
Except for Roosevelt,Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, KARTER,and Klinton. In fact the Dumbocrats have been on the wrong side of policy since the Civil War.
Pathetic press release. It fails to describe what Bush said that was so offensive and wrong.
The Libs have been issuing statements of indignation about this all day. That only happens when the statement they’re indignant about is 100 percent true.
And, I reject Reid as an idiot unable to muster the intellectual capital to buy a vowel, Pat...
You noticed that too, eh?
I'm starting to hate this republican party worse than the democrats. At least the dems have tenacity. The republicans have nothing. When it's all over, the blame for what's happened to this country will be squarely on their shoulders.
These modern Democrats are so slimy and sinister that they make their supporters appear to be ignoramuses and moronic chumps.
Their hubris hopefully will be their downfall, but I think that they have probably judged their base correctly.
President Bush should speak plainly more often. He’s been to nice over the years and what good did it do? No, you can’t coddle the enemy and the rat congress is our enemy. Maybe late than never.......
Because it's an impossible task. Bush hit them between the eyes with the truth. Kicking and screaming is all they've got.
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.
Ruck Fied...
Just shut up already. These people are just sickening. I can’t stand them.
Right, no way do they want to repeat what Dubya said - can’t have people hearing and ruminating on the truth.
Compared to Reid, the banjo player is Stephen Hawking.
separated at birth???
but Granny would do a better job.
He does indeed!
amazement bump!
