Forgive the vanity, but I just heard that Rep. Jean Schmidt, the newest Republcan congresswoman from Ohio, had to withdraw her remarks in the debate about the bill about withdrawl from Iraq. She was merely quoting a Marine who wrote her and said of Democratic appeaesment "Cowards cut and run. Marines finish the job." Why on earth would she be made to apologize for this? She was not directly calling anyone cowards, but these Democrats are most assuredly that for their emerging cut and run policy on Iraq.
It's amazing, Democrats can make the most outrageous comments attacking the president on the floor of the House accusing the president of lying to get America into war and other such slanders, but Schmidt quotes a Marine far better than any of those low lives on the Democratic side and she's made to apologize?? Nancy Piglosi regularly makes the most ugly and vile accusations against the president and never is she called to account for it.
Amazing, even when the Republicans finally go bare knuckles against these Scumbagcrats, still the Republicans act like wussies and back down from saying what should be said. Heck, what Schmidt said is the least that should be said against these Rats. We should be on the floor calling them seditious liars emboldening our enemies and causing our allies in Iraq to doubt our staying power which will only prolong how long it takes to hand over security to the Iraqis.
Why is it wrong to quote a Marine who is dead-on accurate but okay to take to the floor of the House like Murtha did and give a morale boost to our enemies who today celebrated their big moral and political victories in Congress this week by blowing up Shiites in their mosques and setting off car bombs across Bagdhad. Why is it wrong to call them on this and lay the blood spilt today at their feet? Why is decorum more important than standing up to people bluntly and candidly who advocate for things that will greatly damage American security? Why is it wrong to expose them for what they are but Murtha is worshipped as a hero for giving a tremendous energy boost to our enemies while demoralizing our troops and our allies in Iraq? When will anyone ask Murtha what the cost will be when we're forced to go back into Iraq if we retreat now to end the rogue, Al Qaeda regime that will take over there and turn Iraq into another Afghanistan?
We're living in a topsy-turvy country right now where right is considered wrong and wrong considered right. And we have few moral voices to speak up against it. And when they do, they're swatted down even by members of their own party. Our republic is in jeopardy my friends.
we live in a very odd world these days.
Bless her AND our brave troops.

Murtha is up for reelection Nov. 2006.
Think about it!!!
I haven't been able to find out but anyone knows how he voted in 1975 to support the South Vietnamese?
Not that it makes much difference but if he was voting with the antiwar types back then then he is not a recent turncoat.
Personally I think he is impotent and that is why he went from Marine to wimp. Just my theory but if a congressman needs Viagra then he would be the one.
I like it!
God forbid we have a citizen legislator in congress. The founding Fathers expressly said, "We need career professional politicians to run this country"...Is that what you read about their deliberations prior to writing the Constitution?
Actually, I find it quite appropros to the communist demoncrap paty during this time.
But I also feel the reason the french are so much against us is for liberating them from the vichy government. After all, the Germans did bring order.
I also figure Chirac's momma had her head shaved at the end of the war, and if they aren't brothers, then he and the former german leader are 1st cousins.
Go Jean! This is what we need to address. It's not that just Democrats are cowards, most Americans are cowards because most Americans don't support this war anymore. We need to call everyone out on it.
I just want to thank ther Ohioians for voting this woman to office. You done GOOD!
ohn Murtha, Jr. - Democrat - U.S. Representative from Pennsylvania. Implicated in the Abscam sting, in which FBI agents impersonating Arab businessmen offered bribes to political figures; Murtha was cited as an unindicted co-conspirator
Watch the rerun of Brit Hume tonight. You'll see it. Gave me goosebumps!
Thanks- I will do that!
Are you watching the hearing on LIVE now? We have a live thread for it...
Absolutely correct.
No I didn't know it was on. Thanks!
If she said it, why would she apologize? Ah, well, the US Congress, where the women are women and so are the men.
She did fine. She put it out there. Then she "took it back." And guess what? It's still out there! God bless her.
