Murtha, Schakowsky keynote NU Iraq War forum Sunday...(known by the company he keeps)
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 5-5-06 | Lynn Sweet

Posted on 05/05/2006 3:32:59 PM PDT by smoothsailing

Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) travels to Evanston for a forum with Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) on Iraq at 2:45 p.m. Sunday at Northwestern University's Norris Center

Murtha and Schakowsky on Iraq

Murtha and Schakowsky came to the Iraq war from opposite perspectives. The former Marine, the ranking Democrat on the House Defense Appropriations panel who backed the war, triggered a national debate last November when he called for the U.S. to pull its troops from Iraq.

Schakowsky voted against the war and is a leader of the House "Out of Iraq'' caucus.

Murtha, in a separate event, will also headline a political fund-raiser for Schakowsky.

'Cut and Run' Murtha is on the loose again.

This time to poison the minds of college students at Northwestern and raise money for Jan Schakowsky, North Chicago's Marxist darling.

I wonder how the Jewish Jan Schwarkosky likes being in the company of an ANTI-SEMITE?????Hating Bush makes strange bedfellows.

Murtha's disgusting, it wouldn't surprise me to see him protesting with Code Pink.

Young Marine Blasts Rep. Murtha at Town Hall Meeting
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1558047/posts

"Yes sir my name is Mark Seavey and I just want to thank you for coming up here. Until about a month ago I was Sergeant Mark Seavey infantry squad leader, I returned from Afghanistan. My question to you, (applause)

"Like yourself I dropped out of college two years ago to volunteer to go to Afghanistan, and I went and I came back. If I didn't have a herniated disk now I would volunteer to go to Iraq in a second with my troops, three of which have already volunteered to go to Iraq. I keep hearing you say how you talk to the troops and the troops are demoralized, and I really resent that characterization. (applause) The morale of the troops that I talk to is phenomenal, which is why my troops are volunteering to go back, despite the hardships they had to endure in Afghanistan."

Murtha just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Hopefully sufficient amounts of people will recognize his political agenda, and see how badly he is representing our troops, and regardless of party affiliation, consider voting for Dianna. Politics are dirty business, but he sure has shown his true colors and hopefully shall be exposed.
I do hope Dianna is receiving stuff from this site as to why Murtha literally is telling lies about conditions of our troops and the ground conditions in Iraq.

Tonk I wanted to share this with you and ask you get it to all your military friends, canteen etc, thank you!

May 3,2006 Sebring, Fl.

I have not been so upset at my fellow Americans since I was told I could not wear my uniform during the Vietnam war because demonstrators out side the gates of the base would probably do something to me.

Being a retired career military man I sit here today, in great disgust, of what has been happening in OUR country this week . Our heros must be turning over in their graves. We must let the illegal immigrants and the people of this world that we will not let anyone live here who did not earn the honor legally.

Not being an activist, I cannot gather over a million people at the drop of a hat. In fact I would not want the people to demonstrate at all. The only way I know how to get people involved is asking all the military group I could find to put the word out for me. All of you have branches spread out over this country and can contact them in a heartbeat.

All I ask of you is to forward this e-mail to them and let thing go as they may.

Here is what I would like to see happen. On July 4th, 2006 at 12 noon EST all AMERICANS blow your horn, wave an American flag , pledge allegiance to the flag or sing the National Anthem to let people know that AMERICANS are alive and well and will not have foreigners tell us how to run OUR country.

I know most Americans will just go enjoy their holiday but hopefully some will participate and then go enjoy time with their family.

Please try and not have any politicians attend any of your gathering because I say they are the ones who fell asleep at the helm and what is happening today is their fault.

I hope you can help me in this crucial time in our lives and I think we all know how important this matter is to OUR country.

Please e-mail me at manfield@earthlink.net if you are able to help.

Thank you for your time.

John Manfield Jr. USN/ret Sebring,Fl
