You know the Republican's hatred for Obama is irrational when...

Get a life and maybe you two can share it.

 

Nothing you can say can spoil the wonderful mood I've been in since Nov. 4th. You DO realize we had an election, right?

 

Do you have Black & Decker printed across your ass? Sure you do.

 

In case you hadn't heard, the Democrats were annihilated in the midterms. In other words, their policies weren't working. Do you understand that? Probably not, but I'd still be interested in hearing your asinine reasons why you think(?) the Democrats were obliterated.

 

So you respond twice in less than 10 EACH, yet you post this when I took 34 minutes??

That qualifies for the pot and kettle.

BTW, you have anything intelligent to say? If you are averse to the election, you might try;
Obama putting our intelligence in peril.
Gruber on Obamacare.
Isreali sanctions.
Obama's actions on imigration
Ken Weatherwax

 

I believe the reason Moron Joe is so quiet on the election is because (a.) he's been proven wrong on every liberal point he was spouting and (b.) his echo chamber is no longer here.

Speaking of echo chambers, where's the parrot these days? Probably went to the Great Birdcage In The Sky. Oh, well.....

 

The GOP. Hence known as the party of torture. Nice!

 

No one cares what you... ummmm.... think.

 

But people do care about a political party so out of control, they damage the entire reputation of the country. Cheney, Bush, Wolfowitz and the rest of the Neocons should be hauled before the Hague and tried for the war criminals they are. You are a party of inhuman scumbags that have no right to be called Americans. Torture is what will define you forever. You make me sick you self-righteous puke bag. Pure evil in the name of patriotism is no better than the Nazis were. Heil Bush!

 

You are absolutely correct - "people do care about a political party so out of control". That is exactly how they voted this time. Apparently Obama and you are not listening.

 

You're so fond of bringing up Godwin's law, I'll have to spring it on you this time. Bush and the rest of his crew were no more Nazis than Obama is. Additionally, you're a moron if you believe that the Democrats don't have an ulterior motive for releasing this report which is nothing but a re-hash of stories that have been told a million times already. This report will probably inflame a lot of our enemies once again and people will certainly die because of it. You can thank the Democrats for that. Tell us, why exactly DO Democrats hate America?

 

If America wants to follow the Nazi example straight into Fascism, we will have to torture more people....wait. CHECK GOP.

 

Even if there were a grain of truth to your statement, it would still be better than Obama's crony capitalism and his government control of our lives. Wait a minute. Isn't that your definition of Fascism?

 

I am sure the next 4 years will be torture for you.

 

Oh Farmer....not even remotely so. The next 2 years will be a blast. Instead of Republicans blocking everything the Democrats get to block everything. Watching the fun will be a blast as the party of torture tries to figure out how to actually govern. Maybe the Tea Party nuts can open up some torture cells and try to make Democrats do their bidding.
The GOP...Lowing the bar of civility, humane treatment, and Christian behavior for everyone. All out of fear.

 

The GOP has single handedly stained this country's reputation for generations. The worst part is that they are so ]]]] stupid that they are proud of their behavior.

 

Even Democrats (believe it or not) are attacking the release of the report by Democrats:

Sen. Bob Kerrey: Partisan torture report fails America

Intelligence agencies need guidance to do better, Senate Democrats failed to provide it.

December 10, 2014

I regret having to write a piece that is critical of the Democratic members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Most of them are former colleagues and friends. I hope they will remain friends after reading this.

For eight years I served on this committee. I know how difficult and important the work of providing tough and fair oversight of our nation's $50 billion top-secret intelligence network.

I will wait until I have fully read and considered Tuesday's report to enter the debate over whether the CIA handled interrogation of detainees in an appropriate manner. Thanks to the 2005 and 2006 efforts of Senator John McCain I do not have to wait to be certain our interrogation policies and procedures are aligned with our core values.

I also do not have to wait to know we are fighting a war that is different than any in our country's past. The enemy does not have an easy to identify and analyze military. In the war against global jihadism, human intelligence and interrogation have become more important, and I worry that the partisan nature of this report could make this kind of collection more difficult.

I do not need to read the report to know that the Democratic staff alone wrote it. The Republicans checked out early when they determined that their counterparts started out with the premise that the CIA was guilty and then worked to prove it.

When Congress created the intelligence committees in the 1970's, the purpose was for people's representatives to stand above the fray and render balanced judgments about this most sensitive aspect of national security. This committee departed from that high road and slipped into the same partisan mode that marks most of what happens on Capitol Hill these days.

This committee departed from that high road and slipped into the same partisan mode that marks most of what happens on Capitol Hill these days.

I have participated in two extensive investigations into intelligence failures, once when Aldrich Ames was discovered to be spying for Russia after he had done substantial damage to our human intelligence collection capability and another following the 9/11 attacks. In both cases we were very critical of the practices of the intelligence agencies. In both cases we avoided partisan pressure to blame the opposing party. In both cases Congress made statutory changes and the agencies changed their policies. It didn't make things perfect, but it did make them better.

In both of these efforts the committee staff examined documents and interviewed all of the individuals involved. The Senate's Intelligence Committee staff chose to interview no one. Their rationale - that some officers were under investigation and could not be made available – is not persuasive. Most officers were never under investigation and for those who were, the process ended by 2012.

Fairness should dictate that the examination of documents alone do not eliminate the need for interviews conducted by the investigators. Isolated emails, memos and transcripts can look much different when there is no context or perspective provided by those who sent, received or recorded them.

It is important for all of us to remember how unprepared we were for the attacks of September 11, 2001 and how unprepared we were to do the things necessary to keep the country from being attacked again. There was no operating manual to guide the choices and decisions made by the men and women in charge of protecting us. I will continue to read the report to learn of the mistakes we apparently made. I do not need to read the report in full to know this: We have not been attacked since and for that I am very grateful.

It is important for all of us to not let Congress dodge responsibility. Congressional oversight of intelligence is notoriously weak. The 9/11 Commission recommended a number of changes in the authorities of Congressional committees but the proposal – advanced by Senator McCain – did not come close to gathering a majority of votes in either the Senate or the House.

The worse consequence of a partisan report can be seen in this disturbing fact: It contains no recommendations. This is perhaps the most significant missed opportunity, because no one would claim the program was perfect or without its problems. But equally, no one with real experience would claim it was the completely ineffective and superfluous effort this report alleges.

Our intelligence personnel – who are once again on the front lines fighting the Islamic State – need recommended guidance from their board of governors: The U.S. Congress. Remarkably this report contains none. I hope – for the sake of our security and our values – Congress will follow the leadership of Senator McCain and give them this guidance.

Idiot. It wasn't Republicans who blocked anything, it was Harry Reid. I suppose you encourage Democrats to block legislation? What a fool you are.

You know, I believe you're on to something here. In fact, it might be quite easy to do since Obama passed the NDAA... you know the legislation that allows the government to intern anyone for any length of time without the benefit of a lawyer. You've heard of that, right?

Before you start pointing fingers, you moronic jerk, you'd better learn a little bit of history. Have you ever heard of "extraordinary rendition"? You know, that's the practice of transferring prisoners to countries who practice torture. Bill Clinton did it (read your history) and so does Obama. Educate yourself a bit before you start spouting off on things you simply know nothing about.

 

You sound like a sore loser.

 

It's funny, with so much that has happened....Gruber, the elections, etc....moron joe chooses to fixate on a partisan report concerning the torture of some terrorists. Maybe "funny" isn't the word? Perhaps "sad" is most appropriate. One can always count on moron joe to carry the far left's water.

Oh, since I've not been around much & haven't asked this.....

Hey, moron joe, how do you like knowing Obama & his ilk consider you democrats to be "stupid" enough tp be exploited for their political gain?
And what's up with Hillary claiming "businesses don't create jobs"?

Kind of a bad time to be a democRAT liberal, ain't it?
