You know what's really funny? Not included in the three House members who voted for the withdrawal bill is Barbara Lee, the lone Representative who voted against the invasion of Afghanistan way back in 2001. I figure that if anyone would have voted for this black-and-white get-out-now resolution, it would have been her.

But nay. Her website is awash with bandwagon "Republican stunt" nonsense.

I think the new Democrat motto is...

Loose lips sink Dips!

Murtha's military service is cited so often and his defenders are so shrill that it evidently escapes everybody's attention that the discussion was really about which Democratic politician was best qualified to advocate surrender.

As I noted in a previous post, Murtha became so accustomed to losing in Viet Nam, that he wants to put it all of our fighting forces now! Is it revenge? Is it cowardice? Or, is it both? He is the center of the "Surrender Now" democrats! I have no use for this man, regardless of his military service! He is a coward through and through!

The Demos who come out looking best in this are McKinney, Wexler and Serrano. Yes, they are anti-American commies - but at leats they are willing to walk what they talk. Traitors? Yes. Hypocrites? No.

LOL!

Is it revenge? Is it cowardice?

Perhaps it's envy.

"Their hate for George Bush is so great they don't seem to care about the ramifications of reckless statements."

That's what I find so incomprehensible. George W. Bush doesn't use interns as sperm receptacles, he doesn't have a history of a serial rapist, he doesn't sell out our national secrets to the Chi-Coms for campaign donations and he doesn't sell pardons for gifts to his Presidential library. Perhaps if the President were a complete moral degenerate, he'd be universally loved by the left?

Amen AppleHarvey!

Dennis the Menace Kucinich also vote against pulling the US troops out of Iraq??? Can you believe that?

[luvbach1]

To Demoncraps like Murtha, all present and future conflicts involving the United States will be another version of Viet Nam.

[Shortstop7]

I find this whole thing very comical.....

The Dims have got to know how foolish they sound now.

Heehee.

Well stated!

Murtha you’re a boy make a big noise
Playin’ in the House gonna be a big man some day
Now you got mud on yo’ face
You big disgrace
We kicked your can all over the place

We will we will rock you!
We will we will rock you!

What is disgraceful about forcing politicians to demonstrate the courage of their expressed convictions?<<<

Hmmm..Oh yeah..Never forget the difference between a conservative and a liberal..

A conservative bases his politics on his morals..

A liberal bases his morals on his politics...

Hence the 203-3 vote

He is the center of the "Surrender Now" democrats! I have no use for this man, regardless of his military service! He is a coward through and through!<<<

My Country...Right or Wrong!......Naaah...lets just have a Democratic UTOPIA where each individual decides if he wants to fight....The Constitution is out dated...

[M-cubed]

Ouch!...a shot between the donkeys eyes!

"...Perhaps if the President were a complete moral degenerate, he'd be universally loved by the left?"

Yes.

The DNC would sell out they're own mothers, not to mention the country, to get back in power.

"The US cannot accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily. It's time to bring the troops home. . . They have become the enemy."

Uh, that's why they took guns with them...The military had a sneakin' hunch that when they bombed the capital of Iraq and killed a lot of terrorists as well as run the Iraqi president out of office, some would view them as the enemy...
