" It's way past time to stop putting up with that crap, even from a "distinguished" member of Congress."

Might I exchange demented for distinguished ?

Last night's News Hour With Jim Lehrer:

Murtha: Well, I say that the fight against Americans began with Abu Ghraib. It began with the invasion of Iraq. That's when terrorism started.

A "Yea" vote is to allow the vote on troop withdrawal.

Very unlikely the GOP would have put this up for a vote if they didn't have the votes.

If they did, then the DeLay absence is real.

That's a bald-faced lie... I read their comments and they said they were confused because Murtha was a hero yada, yada,....very washed down comments as only seems to come from Scott McClellan.

"uh guys, what if it PASSES?"

Turn on C-span. The Democrats are saying IN MASS that they will support the war. They are begging the republicans not to hold a vote... it's pretty funny.

Sure, the Dems have tried to avoid making a simple vote yes or no about wether or not the sense of the house is to pull the troops out of Iraq now.

The dems are claiming more time for debate. They are trying to claim nore discussion. They are claiming 'stunt'.
They are trying to stop from having to make their positions known prior to the Holiday coming.

The Dems were shouting down when they didn't agree(Especially Hunter) when they were recognized. To be honest the Dems have made fools of themselves today. They have shown their true colors that when it comes to time to pick a simple side on a few sentence resolution...they REFUSE.

Some started in on the lie stuff the mis lead stuff BLAH BLAH BLAH....basically they tried same old same old and they are REALLY on the spot right now.

This is the vote in the House on whether to pull the troops out or not?

OY..........if our guys were on our side, we'd be in good shape?

The vote would be against Hunter, not Murtha.

It's Murtha's resolution, essentially. Did Murtha not call for immediate withdrawal? Of course he did.

That's what Hunter's resolution calls for.

It came off like it normally does. Most of the house and senate people are friends. And she hasn't been there long enough to makes friends and know lifers don't talk about other lifers.

nah it's ok.

The words were said.

Everyone heard them.

So withdrew them and acted professionally about it.

The Dems will continue to meltdown....rope a dope and whatnot....

(I hope)

That is all Dems know how to do...discuss and fill space with hot air full of meaningless drivel.

But the Dems will be framed favorably in the media and the Republicans won't.

A self-defeating logic loop if ever there was one.
