Dem Senator: Negotiating with Republicans ‘Almost’ like Negotiating with ‘Terrorists’

Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) voices that new, cooperative tone the Democrats plan on adopting.

“Do you allow yourself to be held hostage and get something done for the sake of getting something done, when in fact it might be perverse in its ultimate results? It’s almost like the question of do you negotiate with terrorists.â€

Everything democrat politicians do is perverse as to ultimate result.

2012yet   December 3rd, 2010 - 4:56 pm

To the liberal Dem, TRUTH IS TERRORISM

Cowboy Logic   December 3rd, 2010 - 4:58 pm

Negotiating with terrorists?
How in the hell would he draw that analogy?

The Democrat Party knows nothing about terrorists.
They certainly haven't caught any.

If they did, they would give them a prize, and cut them loose.

Moron.

geeze….liberalism is truly a mental disease….

mattlgraf   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:00 pm

Weird, because I believe Democrats would treat terrorists better than they treat Republicans.

This is an unhinged man. Gov. Christie, we need some tough Jersey talk and a playground punch.

hezaAZsmitty   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:07 pm

Thank God and Greyhound he's gone. Hey! Sen. Menendez, remember when Pres. Obama met with the Republicans after he was newly minted, his attitude was "We won" get over it. Karma sucks don't it?

He is talking to inmates of the asylum.

GREEDY, BIG, FAT UNION CATS DEMAND MO’ MONEY…MO’ HEALTH BENEFITS…MO’ VACATION…MO’ TIME OFF…MO’ MO’ MO’ AND BECAUSE OF THEM CORPORATIONS COULD NOT AFFORD TO STAY IN AMERICA AND STILL PAY ALL THESE LUCRATIVE BENEFITS!

America…can you believe the gall of this 'loon'? Taking a descriptive name to describe what he is…and try to make it apply to us!

What a 'loon'!
———-
Question to the Democratzi 'terrorist' trying to put fear into the hearts of 'real' Americans…..

WHY IS IT THAT YOU ARE NOT INVESTIGATING WHY THE PUPPET OF THE BILDERBERG…OBAMA THE BUSH IS USING A CONNECTICUTT SS NUMBER WHEN HE HAS NEVER, EVER LIVED IN THAT STATE?

water_buffalo   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:09 pm

this kind of talk won't stop until these liberals are exposed for what they are, traitors …. someone needs to put them in there place…. so far Palin , Limbaugh and Mark Levin seem to do a good job at it…. lets roll

bubbatrunk   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:09 pm

Was this for real? or did SNL run a skit a day early.

Reaganite2_0   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:09 pm

I kinda wish democrats treated the GOP like terrorists; probably get treated a shit ton better. Just to illustrate: GOP/Terrorists+Dhimmicrats/UN= them begging us to get away with whatever we want.

CBrooks1976   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:11 pm

Cool!…..does this mean we can blow dems up when they piss us off :)

BobbyGG   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:11 pm

Ok Bobby, Econ 101
Vast % of employers in the US are small businesses – FACT
Vast % of these entrepreneurs are wealthy – FACT
Many of these people have their companies as S corps – FACT
By raising taxes, you not only raise the taxes on the wealthy but the businesses they support – FACT
By paying more in taxes, small businesses will NOT hire – FACT

Any questions Bobby or wast that too difficult for you?

Navy Gentleman   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:12 pm

There are not very many Democrats in Washington DC worth listening to these days.

DaBEARSSSSS   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:12 pm

Coming from a race-baiting thief who hides behind his buddies in the courts to avoid a Recall Election, I find it typical.

smellyfinger   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:13 pm

Negotiating with Libtards is like dealing with bedbugs

Greatnesslegend   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:14 pm

America's economic terrorist is in Afghanistan, he will be back tomorrow. Lets do a little comparison. Canada. Its Prime Minister, Stephen Harper is an economist who had almost two decades of private sector employment before running for public office. In response to the Oct-Nov 2008 crash Harper:

Cut the national sales tax.
Cut business taxes.
Enacted stimulus offset by spending cuts elsewhere.
Did not allow quantitative easing by its central bank.
Assured Canada's private sector ongoing government policy will reduce regulation and bureaucratic paperwork.
Did not extend unemployment benefits.
Enacted an energy policy that aims to cut C02 emissions, but allows more drilling, tar sands development, and nuclear power plant construction.

Compare that to Obama's rhetoric and actions over the last 2 years.

Result: 266,000 more Canadians are working this year than this date last. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics data a whopping 19,000 more Americans are working this year than this date last. America has 9.2 X Canada's population which means its result is equal to 2,447,000 more employed over the last 12 months, or 204,000 per month. America a tepid 1600 a month. Canada's unemployment rate dropped 0.3% last month to 7.6% America's rose 0.2% to 9.8. In the last year the Can$ rose from 91 cents US to 99 cents US. Canadian GDP growth is about double that of the US.

Obviously Menendez is whacked out comparing politicians who call for rule of law and limited government from the ballot box to Taliban who would gladly try and blow his brains out with an AK 47. A warning to the Taliban: Shooting a Democrat in the head will have little effect, they lost their brains decades ago…

Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah! My sick cat doesn't whine as much as these FEMOCRATS!

freepetta   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:15 pm

Menendez has always been a corrupt lying piece of anal waste. In the event he's not thrown in prison or voted out by his disgusted constituents, he should have his mouth taped up or washed out with ajax, he can take his pick.

sorebird   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:16 pm

We don't negotiate with communist.

claspur   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:16 pm

Governor Christie should drag this bum into his office and kick him around the room.

I'm really starting to love everything you post. Spot on as usual.

UrinalMint   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:21 pm

He deals with terrorists every day. The terrorists who belong to unions and get him votes for whatever they ask.

Obamonkey   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:21 pm

Menendez's family came from communist Cuba. Sounds like Fidel Castro sent this maggot to subvert and spy on us.

WorldclaZZ   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:22 pm

All aboard the Crazy Train!

Pobbo©®™   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:23 pm

Demtards DO negotiate with terrorists, everyone knows that. But won't compromise with the American people nor respect their wishes.

shanedo   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:26 pm

Gov. fat boy is to busy feeding his pie hole to do much of anything.

Jos94   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:26 pm

He must be thinking about the Dems negotiating with the Blue dogs on Obamacare. The outcome of that was perverse on both sides of the table for the rest of us.

arcsinice   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:27 pm

This slimebucket crook (audit him and watch all the fleas scatter), standing in front of the other crook Schumer, lies to no end, playing the ruthless class warfare – redistribution of wealth con game, and then, dares to claim that conservatives are tantamount to "terrorists". When Menendez' term is up, vote the POS out. Until then, mark him, hound him relentlessly New Jersey (and other fellow Americans), investigate the prick – you'll find fleas, give him no breathing room.

And CLASPUR………, I second the motion for Christie to have a personal, one-on-one with him behind closed doors. For that matter send him over to some olive oil importer like GENCO.

shanedo   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:27 pm

Politicians from all political parties are scum. Give us some independents with no personal or political agenda.

TommyRichards   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:28 pm

Menendez (D-NJ) and his commie-centric supporters exemplify the exploitation of the government educated populous…placing one arm around a voter's neck and picking his pocket with the other. Menendez is one sick freak who only cares about his stinky ass and contributors who support and finance his re-election campaign. The real mind blowing thing to see are the idiots who vote for this jerk! I suspect they mostly resemble `parasites'.

Democrat_Decimation   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:31 pm

Menendez is GONE in 2012. I see the moron Chuck Shumer is standing behind him, laughing as usual as he porks America.

SubjectofUSSA   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:31 pm

so stfu already, just wait til Jan and we can let the Republicans pass this all by themselves. Freaking left is all idiots, every last one of them.

wilmac   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:31 pm

Liberal democRat=Mental illness..Look at the Halfwit Schumer, yet the ppl of NY keep voting him back.,
Mental illness seems to an epidemic in America..Wheres the World Health Orginization when you need them.

Wow – Looks like listening to you cost my taxes to go up everytime !!!!!

AWESOME !! The repubs FINALLY GREW A PAIR! No frigging compromise. No reaching across the aisle. These jack asses haven't budged a millimeter in decades and have brought us to the precipice of finacial ruin. We WON'T budge!

smartguy35   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:34 pm

Menendez is another worthless liberal crook and just another rubber stamp for the apologist in chief Obama

Bitter_Teapot   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:35 pm

We don't negotiate with terrorists…..nor do we negotiate with the party that has been shown the door due to their idiotic policies. We won.

smartguy35   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:35 pm

this does smell like a snl sketch but even more dull

handleit   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:36 pm

Menendez should brace himself for some of the ugliest behavior he has ever seen in his half assed pathetic life. New Jersey beggars have made you their idol. You will love what is coming your way.

Diptera   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:37 pm

The demento-crats should know about negotiating with terrorists – they never saw a terrorist they didn't like from Cuba's Che Guevara to Venezuela's Chaves to the drug cartels and their violence on our Southern border. So does that mean it will be easy to deal with the repubs? – LOL

Marco_Malo   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:37 pm

Typical true believer bullsnot. Guy is whining because the terrorist Republicans won't compromise and do it his way.

smartguy35   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:37 pm

Menendez never met a tax increase he didn't like he should go back too cuba he seems too share the same beliefs as castro anyway

Inthiscorner   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:38 pm

Those pussies in the WH and Congress wouldn't know what a real terrorist looks like much less attempt their psycho babble on them. As far as they are concerned the only terrorists in the world are Americans.

danarchy   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:38 pm

Since the last election went the direction of these "terrorists", I guess we are all terrorists or terrorist sympathizers??? What a clown. Terrorist, racist and Nazi all come out of the left's mouths a little too easily and with seemingly no consequence. That bugs me.

Wesley69   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:41 pm

Senator Robert Menendez, when you compare negotiating with Republicans to that ofTerrorists, all discussion with you are at an end. I don't think an apology is enough! I would pull out of any discussions where you are represented. YOU DO NOT EXIST!!! You are a ghost! An evil spirit!! Senator Asshole, sir!

nobamaforbama   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:41 pm

Democommies don't like to negotiate. They like to ram bills through without reading what's in them. Americans have sent a message; you will have to negotiate, like it or not!

Mara123   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:42 pm

Everything this guy said was wrong, giving tax breaks to higher income earners does not take money out of low income earners pockets.

An where did he get the idea that Republicans are supposed to go along with the Democrats crazy schemes?

MrASW   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:44 pm

Haven't seen that shane guy today so I will take it, DEMOCRATS = MARXISTS = TERRORISTS, All the same.

This is a serious question. Can you name one for me?

This from a guy who violates his oath of office every day.

fantum   December 3rd, 2010 - 5:48 pm

I voted Democrat because…

- Working is too hard.
- Thinking is way too hard.
- I am 26, sponging off my mom, and I want free Health Care.
- Freedom of speech is fine as long as I am not offended by it.
- I want government to tax your earnings and give me things I want.
- If I knock-up my girlfriend I want government to pay her to kill the baby.
- We need to raise taxes on business… Gee… Why do things cost so much?
- Murdering helpless babies is ok as long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
- I want government to give Mexicans free health care and education at your expense.
- I want government to take over industry and apply the efficiency of the US Post Office.
- Pouring water on a terrorist's face is horrible, but killing a baby in the womb is good.
- Global Warming is a fact, even if those same scientists can't tell the weather for next week.

Shine the light of truth on Democrats and watch them scurry for cover!

More of the usual class warfare gargage. The Dems have no principles.

That is the unintended outcome of a flawed ideology that has never worked. Destroy the incentive to excel and thereby make everyone equally weak.

woodrowman   December 3rd, 2010 - 6:12 pm

The headline is not accurate. Please be less titillating and simply say it the way he said it.

He said the concept of negotiating with terrorists is similar to working with republicans.

NOT that republicans are terrorist.

Granted, a very dumb choice of words from a immoral party, but we have to occupy the high ground!

A more accurate statement: Negotiating with Democrats is almost like negotiating with Fidel Castro.

greekelk   December 3rd, 2010 - 6:29 pm

This clown – Senator Robert Menendez – should clean up the corruption in his home county (Hudson County) in NJ before he opens his mouth. It's the most corrupt county NJ and is controlled by Democrats.

Spanky2a   December 3rd, 2010 - 6:33 pm

"It's the most corrupt county NJ and is controlled by Democrats. "

Funny how "corruption" and "controlled by Democrats" seem to go hand-in-hand.

I live near Chicago, so I know.

rld77   December 3rd, 2010 - 6:47 pm

Simple– The guy is an idiot( i'm using this noun way too much lately) . You do NOT negotiate with terrorists. You pound them until they accept YOUR terms–period. Lay down your arms, turn yourselves in, and those of you deemed salvageable, may be allowed to continue on this earth (depending on prior transgressions).
Now if someone walked in and put a .45 to his noggin and said " OK Bud, here's how you're gonna' vote", he may have a legit claim.

DrEdu   December 3rd, 2010 - 6:50 pm

I respect Erskine Bowles and would listen to any ideas he has.

He was the business brain in the Clinton administration and did a very good job.

His family must have been Democrats and he went along for the ride.

If our next Republican president wanted to make him his White House Chief of Staff, it would be a very smart move.

Subsalior   December 3rd, 2010 - 7:06 pm
