Michael Scheuer: Democrats Are Worse Human Beings Than Republicans
You’re automatically a bad person if you’re pro-choice, says the former head of the CIA’s bin Laden unit, who adds that the Democratic Party stands for killing babies, slavery, and secession. This comes on the heels of his comment on FOX News that our only hope as a country is for bin Laden to attack us again.
Scheuer also believes Obama doesn’t care about protecting the country.
COLMES: You don’t think the President of the United States, Barack Obama, cares about protecting this country.
SCHEUER: No, I don’t. Because I don’t think he realizes what the world is like outside the United States. [...]
COLMES: You don’t think he wants to protect the country?
SCHEUER: I don’t think he can, sir. [...]
COLMES: He doesn’t want to protect the country?
SCHEUER: Not if it costs votes.
SCHEUER: No, I don’t. Because I don’t think he realizes what the world is like outside the United States. [...]
-perfect description of George W. Bush

Scheuer’s comments are both outrageous and partisan. There’s a reason the repubicans lost in 2006 and 2008. The American people simply do not fall for that garbage anymore.

Sorry for having a late response. However i agree with you,but you fail to add a few other points.
1. Failures on family values by being hypocrites
2. Craze vile spewing form high profile members of GOP
3. Right Wing talk radio. Hannity,Rush etc etc….
4. Palin being VP pick for 08 election
5. Faux News
6. GW BUSH and his pal DICK CHENEY on abuse of power
7. The same 2 guys lying about Iraq
8. A hurricane hitting New Oreleans
9. Mission Accomplish
10 911
11.The Great Divider
Are other reasons the GOP failed and keep on failing up to this day for being the party of NO and no insight with the same old status quo on how our nation should be be run.
Most of all right wingnuts are running the party led by a right wing radio talk show host that is label an entertainter. To place the icing on the cake,every1 that speaks againist this man turns around and kisses his funky rearend by saying they are sorry.
Just showing you some points you forgot to add.

It’s not just an opinion: Dubya was a child of privilege, he never held a real job until he was in his forties, and yet he never traveled outside the United States, except for maybe crossing the Mexican border to go on a tequila bender when he was in the Texas Air National Guard champagne unit.
As “President”, Dubya never showed any interest in visiting the countries where he traveled. He never took in the sights, which might have given him some cultural or historical perspective. He had such little interest in foreign countries that he didn’t even know about the tensions between Sun’nis and Shi’a in Iraq until Iraqi exiles explained it to him in January 2003. Despite the fact that he was already hell-bent on invading that country, he had zero interest in the human landscape there.

Only liberals are super facinated with the rest of the world. They want other countries to abide by thier ideology of acceptance of radical ideas like homosexuality and abortion. I was in alot of countries overseas during the viet nam war era. Not a whole lot to be facinated about. especially when they hold such disdain and jealousy for us. IT is not a pre-requisite for a pres. to know all about all the other countries. It is probably more of a noble thing that GW liked the USA so much he didnt want to leave. Unlike Obama who loves the the other countries more. Even Alan has said he dislikes having to pay for a military, in many of his arguements. The truth is very obvious. Liberals cannot stand the military, and therefore all there hoopla about how many lives we lost over there is simply substance for thier agenda. liberals are not true americans and are hosts like cancers that live off of the true flesh.

Well said, Java.
I would include in your statements that with the exception of No Child Left Behind and War Policy, Bush seemed rather uninterested in his role as Chief Legislature.
In my eyes, he was a do-nothing president.

constitutionally, I don’t think it’s accurate to call the president the Chief Legislature…He’s the executive. In fact I would be fine with a president that would keep his nose out of the legislatures affairs other than to veto laws that are unconstitutional and/or retarded.

Read something off FOXNEWS.COM sometime.
Cheney said he hoped Panetta was misquoted when he said it sounded like Cheney wanted an attack.
Now Scheuer advocates a ‘violent as possible’ military strategy, after Cheney’s Defense of Torture Media-Tour…
Where do I go get this stuff? That would be FOX News. Sometimes CNN, at times AP, and other soures.
“Utter nonsense Eric. Cheney said no such thing! Panetta, in his bizarro world, implied it without any justification.”
That’s not true, David. Read Panetta’s statement instead of only watching ripped up video-clips.
He explained exactly what he was saying and he used the qualifier ‘kind of’ and ’sort of’ because he is a director … and I’m just some bum … so I’ll say it outright with NO SPIN and isn’t it funny how conservatives justcan’t stand it.

The idea of being struck again by al-Qaeda is prob. a necessary evil. We as americans need to know how this admin. is going to handle such an attack. All of America needs to know how a liberal congress is going to treat such a threat. We know that Clinton chose to support the white bosnian effort, but let a million blacks get hacked to death with machete’s in Africa. And they always support the liberals.

“Lastfreeamerican” is a racist who believes that we should intervene in global humanitarian crises solely based on the skin color of the participants.
He’s also a traitor who thinks we should have a major terrorist attack every time a new president or congress comes in just to see how they can handle it,
Oh, and “lastfreeamerican”-racist-traitor, don’t worry about terrorists striking red states. They attacked the two most liberal bastions last time (NYC and D.C.), and that’s because they are the location of the centers of power. Nobody is going to bother your fever-infested trailer park in the swamp.

One might argue that The present situation in Iraq was started on 2 Aug 1990, look it up. You might also look into why Clinton wished to force regime change in Iraq as early as Jan 1996. And may-be a quick read of the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 is in order.

Oh, you better resign yourself to the fact that three years from now Obama will be busily campaigning on the premise that GWB messed things up so bad it will take decades to fix……..
That’s why Obama had no problem putting us so deep into debt, He (Obama) figures that they (Democrats) can draw from that deep well (the debt) for decades by blaming the Republicans for creating the problem to begin with……

That sounds exactly what Bush did with regard to Clinton for the last 8 years. 9/11? Clinton’s fault. The economy? Clinton’s fault. Skyrocketing unemployment? Clinton’s fault.
” That’s why Obama had no problem putting us so deep into debt,”
The debt also includes this unnecessary Iraq war you so love.

I doubt that’ll be the approach in 2012. Independent voters won’t respond well to that message and they usually decide elections. It’s cynical to say Obama wanted to put us deeper in debt to have campaign talking points. We’re digging the hole deeper because many economists believe spending will end this recession like it ended the depression (WW II spending).
GuidoVanHorn Reply:
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:42 am
which is a dubious claim to make. though we can only guess at the results of not spending so much, some economists think that FDR’s spending program kept us from emerging from the great depression sooner.
I’ve done a lot of research into FDR, and I’ve come to the conclusion that about 1/2 of what he did was really good and 1/4 was ok and 1/4 was pretty dumb.
That being said he was still one of our greatest presidents.

Hmm…
Maybe we should just start another war, N Korea or possibly Iran, so then we could spend our way out of this depression that we’re heading into before it gets so big and so great that it will require a “World War 3″ in order to create a situation sufficiently large enough to institute the necessary “spending our way to wealth” strategy…..
GuidoVanHorn Reply:
July 4th, 2009 at 1:55 am
I think one of the big drivers of getting us out of the the depression was the proliferation of major value added manufacturing in the US, which was spurred by WWII needs, planes, trains, automobiles, ships etc…
The US manufacturing sector has been taking a massive beating over the last couple decades, and is in some part responsible for our current issues. Our economy changed from adding value, to shuffling around “service” dollars.
It’s a major complex problem, but I think this is one area that isn’t getting enough scrutiny, manufacturing forces companies to “spread” the wealth. service sector jobs can be designed so a few people can horde massive amounts of money.

Eric G. calls us conservatives amoral and bloodthirsty; we dont kill the unborn!!!!!!!!!! As for liberals joining the military; its obvious that it is strictly for show. During the viet nam war, there were those of us who didnt need to be drafted and those who were. most of whom were liberals. (It wasnt Our War.) Alot of them call themselves vets, but were sickbay commando’s. those who stayed in the rear with the gear. If they were out there, it was constant whinning. this is hardly what you want watching your back out in the field. One of those liberals cut himself with a can opener a couple of times so he could go home early and collected, a couple purple hearts in the process.

Believing that someone is a better or worse human being than you bc they believe in a different set of ideology is ignorant and prejudiced.
How dare anyone tell another individual what they HAVE to believe, and that if they don’t believe it that they’re a “bad” person? Let’s take Mr. S’s comments… regardless of his narrow-minded and ignorant attitude, I can’t conclude that he’s a “bad” person. He thinks differently and I don’t like how he thinks, but I hardly know enough about him to judge his entire character – which is what he’s doing to an entire group of people.
