Lib Blog: Jack Murtha has the votes (For Majority Leader)
MyDD ^ | November 14, 2006 | Jerome Armstrong

Posted on 11/14/2006 2:36:56 PM PST by RWR8189

I've heard from a couple of different Hill sources that Murtha is ahead; that newly elected Democrats favor Hoyer by a 2:1 margin, but that Murtha is ahead by about 25 votes overall, which has come about from the standing members after Nancy Pelosi's letter. The vote is Thursday.

"The beginning of the end for the Dems fleeting majority."

Amazing isn't it? In every victory, there is strewn the seeds of future defeat.

"Good and he will help prove the corruption of the dems."

But if it never gets investigated or reported by the MSM, did it really happen?

You gotta wonder about these parties and their idiotic senority systems. I hope Hastings gets the call at intelligence.....this Democratic majority is begining to look like a giant pinata.

This flies in the face of another story about the new conservatives in congress wanting/supporting Hoyer. This portends to the future that Pelosi will, indeed, whip those so-called conservatives into the liberal line.

We may score good political points from it, but the damage to our nation is just too much. Intelligence Chairman hears our nation's most closely guarded secrets. Pelosi is mad at Harman because she wouldn't leak the secrets to the press.

This blog says the new Dem reps are favoring Hoyer 2-1.

I hope the financial dirt starting to leak on "The Madam" holds off till January when she officially takes charge. That way we may be able to watch a Speaker AND a Majority Leader be forced to step down together.

"I hope Hastings gets the call at intelligence..."

Thanks, zarf.

As if I were not troubled enough about all this. Hastings' appointment would make me dig up my hoard and bolt.

Actually, it confirms the story you're referring to...

Watching that video, you see the real Murtha (as if the one he shows the world isn't bad enough), the brutish, greedy thug.
