So, let’s get this straight from RINO Ridge
1.) urged to raise terror level, you ALMOST resigned but didn’t
2.)Having NOT resigned you tell us NOW that this occurred- FOR WHAT REASON are you telling this now?
3.) You additionally try to increase your status among the “katrina bush bashers” by saying you warned against Brown appointment to FEMA! WHY are you doing this.
IF you were a person of honor and integrity and this did indeed happen THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE RESIGNED.
But then, that would not have allowed you to continue to line your pockets, and set up a presidential or other run as a professional lying RINO politician. What’s next, you and Colin Powell doing a “blackface” vaudeville act about “no WMDs ever in Iraq” This man is an ASS. Just cause you were a fighter pilot doesn’t give you anything other than a flyboy. This from the son of a real steely-eyed sub driver who had more integrity in his little toe than in all of this idiot Ridge.
Two things are possible. Number one is that Ridge is lying and number two is that he violated his oath through his political cowardice.
Great. That’s just great.
I’m sick and tired of this. Tell these people to STFU. If you have nothing positive to say then STFU. Hey, Ridge, what’s your point? Why would you write this?
Uh, okay, so what?
I would think that a Nationwide election for the President of the United States would be a de facto cause for the raising of the threat level.
What more tempting target - and effect - could there be than disrupting the election process in America itself?
Well, this seals it for me. I am never voting for G.W. again! Ever! /s
Bush made a stunning number of bad appointments, and Ridge was one of them. Now he’s showing his gratitude for being promoted beyond his competence.
A book. It's ALWAYS in a new book.
A heightened terror alert was absolutely legitimate.
Anyone with half a brain should have been terrified at the prospect of Kerry in the White House.
ANOTHER a**hole with a vendetta! ALWAYS didn’t trust the man - think Specter lite - but this really takes it...geez, Bushie sure could pick ‘em...

(CNN) — Osama bin Laden delivered a new videotaped message in which he told Americans their security does not depend on the president they elect, but on U.S. policy. And he said al Qaeda remains motivated to strike the U.S. again.
His blockbuster book will rate right up there with Shmoe Scarbourough an the best seller list...234th or so.
The passive voice (”was asked”) = bull****. Always.
You can prety much predict that the Left will lionize Ridge, at least for a while, now that he’s turned on President Bush like a rabid dog. For Ridge’s near-future career path, see Scott McClellan.
I regret having voted for Ridge once, and I’m proud to have voted third-party when he ran for re-election.
And Ridge says this in his book? I'll believe it when I see it.
I had forgotten all aabout him...and enjoyed it.
I don’t believe him.
NYC was attacked on election day.
Dumba** RINO.
