Gates amd Ridge putting national security on the back burner for pollitical reasons.
And, at one time there were people here that touted Ridge as a ‘possible’ Republican candidate for anything - I’ll tell anyone who will listen... It will be a cold day in goddam hell when I EVER, EVER vote for endorse another asshole like McCain...or Ridge...or Romney, or Huckabee, or any ‘established’ contender....experience from the last eight years tells me these people, along with Newt are completely damn worthless, period......I won’t be cajoled any more.
Tom Ridge looks like a Cabbage Patch kid that came to life...with his head stuffed with Chinese fluffy trash. Gates is similar just a little worse.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates fits right in with the hussein obama crowd. I have never liked him.
So, I guess that means that if the US is attacked again during the next four years that these guys are wrong and Cheney is right. What a helluva price to have to pay to find out.
They are scrambling for ways to discredit him, thus proving he is being effective.
All you have to do is read or listen to Cheney’s presentation. It stands on it’s own merits, and Gates and Ridge are imbeciles if they can’t grasp the truth he was presenting.
All those folks who voted for McCain last year. Have we had enough of the RINOs yet?
It’s time to break out the steel tipped boots, and get to work.
Yeah, what else is new.
Two neo-leftist RINOs.
As for Ridge, he's been a disappointment for a long time now. I'd be more surprised if he stood up for Bush and Cheney at this point.
The gutless moderates comment on cue.
Gates is part of the administration so I can understand but Ridge is precisely the reason the Republicans are in a shambles.
You can virtually predict this crap.
You could have 100 former Bush era officials in complete agreement on the missteps of Obama in his first 100 days, but you’d never hear a word from them via the MSM. But, they’ll always find the one guy who worked for Bush who thinks everything Bush did was near-treason and everything that Obama is doing is terrific. And so it goes.
This is the dirtiest line of the week.
Ridge and Gates are clear examples of the liberal direction the GOP must not take. Neither of them has served with honor or distinction; unless the hind-lick maneuver is counted. Its time for us to look to Patriots not politicians. MORE TEA PARTIES.
Gates has been a political whore for years. I’m glad to say I’ve always despised him.
He has built his reputation by sucking up to the press & Congress.
I’m not surprised.
Gates and Ridge both have a reason to slant the truth. They think they have a political career ahead of them. Cheney won’t be seeking higher office. You judge who to believe.
Good. Gates purpose in this administration is to take the fall for any attack as a Bush appointee. So, it’s great he’s now signing off the Bush team and joining Team Zero. Cheney’s offensive just keeps paying dividends.
Efiin idiot. Cheneys speech was scheduled before Obama decided to stuff the teleprompter with platitudinous bs.
Like the guy up above said, never again. No more money, no more votes for useless idiots.
And where did that "taint" come from Secretary Gates?
It came from the putrid democrat party and the clown occupying the Oval Office.
Ridge, Gates, Powell and McCain have now joined Obama with markers on their heads. When the attack comes it will be because of these shmucks supporting policies that weaken America's intelligence capability.
