Does Meehan give you your talking points or do you give him his?

[hobbes1]

Someone should just toss em some boxing gloves, and say Settle it outside.


Then Meehan could really get what he has earned.(besides contempt that is...)

[Future Snake Eater]

It didn't provide the funding needed to up-armor Humvees.

That would be very interesting, if true. However, since it's a commie puke spewing it, how can we know if it's true?

[xzins]

Everything I'm reading says the uparmored Hummers don't cut it either.

Israel says we should use tanks and bradleys.

I agree.

"We're always pleased to see our friends, and we welcome free and open discussion, but let's tell the entire story," Hayworth added. "Not some of the woulda, coulda, shoulda. But what do we do to help people in the field right now? And the inescapable fact, no matter how you want to bash anybody else, is, sadly, Marty and Sen. Kerry voted against the very appropriation that would provide this kind of armor."


Meehan responded by pointing out that the bill passed by 78 votes in the House last fall yet 40 percent of Humvees in Iraq still lack armor.


Very good Marty. Now how did you vote?

[CaptRon]

Halliburton, Halliburton, Halliburton. Evil incarnate. Got an issue? Halliburton was probably involved.

If I were Halliburton I'd be a lot more vocal in defense of myself. Not to mention litigious.

[First_Salute]

Bump.

ArmorWorks given $30M Humvee armor order

Marty Meehan was the Congressman who made the most noise about President Bush chickening out of flying directly to DC right after the 9-11 crashes.

Howie Carr tagged him as "Osama Bin Meehan".

[Radix]

Meehan is a lying hypocritical dork who will say absolutely anything in order to stay before the cameras. He covets John Kerry's U.S. Senate seat and he will continue to seek attention with this objective in mind.

Kerry will not be surrendering his Senate seat anytime soon, but Meehan will still consider that he has a chance and will behave accordingly. The lying weasel will insinuate anything at all if it keeps him in the media spotlight.

He is only interested in himself, and he has been a political operative for a very long time. Incidentally, Meehan was almost redistricted out of his own seat after the 2000 census. The Massachusetts legislature leadership took him to task for certain hints that he made about running for the governorship. Meehan quickly fell into line, and the Congressional redistricting (which made perfect geographical and political sense) plan was shelved.

Marty Meehan is going to say a lot of controversial things during this campaign season as he feels now that his seat is "safe." In case anyone forgets, he was one of the first to criticize President Bush on 9-11 for not flying to Washington immediately. This same Meehan who calmly sat in his Capitol office during the bomb scare when every one else fled the building,(as if.)

In my view, Meehan is among the most contemptable of all professional politicians. Of course, I would say that about most of the professional politicians from Massachusetts, and especially the large portion of the Congressional delegation from this Commonwealth.

In WWII, didn't America not have the war materials needed? Didin't a bunch of companies switch over to war materials and start producing the heck outta stuff for the military?

Too bad all this contractinbg crap is in play, and that the goobermint spends all our money on other crap, otherwise, they could drop the dime on some items our military needs right now.

[DeaconRed]

WE NEED A UNITED STATES! ! ! NOW

[Meldrim]

Just like his dad "Buster", Marty was a little too good to serve his country.

The fact that he is on the Armed Services Committe at all astounds me.

[oyez]

Seem to me that we are using Humvees where we should be using Bradley's. Is there some disconnect about that?

[Cannoneer No. 4]

[Brimack34]

They should have built the Military up in the 90's this should not be a problem now. Clitoon was AWOL and now our fine military is paying for it.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Meehan is only in the interest of making a national name for himself. Searching for his legacy as it were.
