Hastert says Dems should be humble

[azurnoir]

What did US Intelligence have to do with it?

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Ron Bonjean, communications director for Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) today issued the following statement:

"Every day is not an election day, but it seems for the Democrats it is. Today our British allies and U.S. intelligence services were able to identify, intercept, and impede a terrorist plot because we have given them the tools to fight this intelligence-driven Global War on Terror. Instead of humble gratitude, the Democratic Leadership suggested that increasing democracy in the Middle East is distracting us from homeland defense.

1. These Guys Are So FUCKING BLATENTLY EVIL!

They LIE AND LIE AND LIE Through Their Teeth.

It's so disgusting!!! POT MEET KETTLE!!!

[mediaman007]

19. So Bush* makes terrorism comments in Green Bay, then

he's off to a fund raiser! So which party is always campaigning?

[Rose Siding]

2. I guess we aren't quite housebroken yet

Or was it being neutered like house pets that Grover was after?

[Norquist Nemesis]

7. Neutered

It would be pretty good odds that Hastert's spokesperson has been having weekly breakfast with Grover, too.

[jedicord]

3. So if they say the US intelligence services helped the British...

does that automatically make it true?

[rodeodance]

4. I truely want to see ASSTURD eat his own humble pie

[Nickster]

5. We were just responding to the 6 years worth of campaigning that Dubya

has been putting on us. We just assumed it was always campaign season. Sheesh. LoL

[Virginia Dare]

6. A couple of points, Denny you fat turd...

1) It was British police acting on a tip from a Pakistani national who broke open the plot. Neither your fat ass nor your precious Lord Chimpface had dick to do with it.

2) We're pouring BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars into making the skies safer, where's the beef?

3) Where is the increased democracy in the Middle East? Do you refer to Iraq? Excuse me while I roll on the floor laughing hysterically.

4) You fuckwads would use your own mothers' funerals to score political points if you could.

5) FUCK OFF YOU FAT PIECE OF CRAP!!!

[rodeodance]

8. these tools, these tools, these tools. "I want a hammer"

.......
"This misses the point: the war on terror is a global war. The terrorists arrested today were aiming for our cities and innocent civilians, and we only know that because we had visibility into their planning and plotting. With the PATRIOT Act, FISA courts, and other intelligence programs, we can learn what the terrorists know and where they go, and then we have a chance to disrupt them. But it is those same tools that saved the day today that the Democratic Leadership have repeatedly tried to vote down, thereby weakening America's intelligence efforts and lowering our guard against terrorism.

"America cannot stop terrorists with blinders on. America cannot stop terrorists by simply hoping they won't take transatlantic flights to bring terror, once again, to our cities. We stop terrorists by watching them, following them, listening in on their plans, and then arresting them before they can strike.

"Senate Democrats are also blocking confirmation of the new Department of Justice National Security division chief, a position which was funded by the PATRIOT Act and has received strong bipartisan support from the leaders of the 9-11 Commission. In addition, Democrats have a consistent voting record of underfunding our intelligence community in the 1990s. Instead of partisan political attacks, the Democrats should stop thinking about the November elections and join Republicans who stand vigilant in fighting the Global War on Terror."

Clinton Denounces Cheney for Terrorism Comments

NEW YORK, NY August 11, 2006 —Senator Hillary Clinton has denounced Vice President Dick Cheney for saying terrorists would be emboldened by the results of Connecticut's Democratic Primary.

...
CLINTON: I don't take anything he says seriously anymore. I think that he has been a very counterproductive even destructive force in our country and I am very disheartened by the failure of leadership from the president and vice president.
...
A spokeswoman for the vice president said his comments on the importance of a strong national security strategy "speak for themselves."

9. Humbly and gratefully, Mr. Speaker, you can suck my ass.

That "Hannity Sucks Ass" guy is my new hero.

[Mz Pip]

11. Every day IS election day

to the pukes. A day does not go by when one of them does warn of the impending doom should the Dems get elected.

Humble gratitude, my ass.

BTW, have we increased Democracy in the Middle East? I don't think so.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[rodeodance]

13. the WH is in campaign mode all the time.--they do not govern

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. Today? Just Today?

Ok...who thinks Karl was in the room when Bush was briefed about all of this last Friday.

[Horse with no Name]

14. And Republicans should be ashamed

because each and every day they lie, cheat and steal.

[madrchsod]

15. i`m so proud to have him as my rep

i wake up every morning thanking god that he`s looking out for my best interest...denny you are "the man"

[acmavm]

16. Old fat Denny and his corrupt party are getting pretty thin

skinned here aren't they? They've always been a bunch of petty prima donna pissants, but lately they're so touchy they never quit their bitching and whining.

We must be really getting to 'em.

[seemslikeadream]

17. YOU FUCKING TRAITOR HASTERT

HOW DARE YOU, HOW'S TURKEY THESE DAYS, DENNY?

[harlinchi]

18. That's what Uriah Heep's mother said. Didn't work well either! n/t

[fishwax]

20. oh, it's the dems who are playing politics with this crisis

i wonder if dennis thinks the gop is showing humble gratitude. perhaps he should give us an example to follow ...

[The Backlash Cometh]

21. Hasteret is shaking in his boots because he knows that Sibel is

breathing down his neck. That turkey is so mixed up with that Turkey treason intrigue that he knows that time is not on his side.

[Metta]

22. Typical, two pronged, false choice, inflammatory rhetoric.

No shortage of gas here. Just trying to see if he can hook anyone and distract them from how mightily we're marching into fascism.

[Atman]

23. Dems say Hastert should put down the Hostess Cakes and STFU.

I'm sorry, Denny, if every day is not an election, then why are you campaigning for the GOP?

[Hubert Flottz]

24. That makes about as much sense as a rubber crutch in a...

Polio ward! And that blathering fool is one of the Top repubs in Washington? Guys like him are the reason we are creating terrorists by the thousands, in Iraq.
