She had to withdraw her remarks because she started the Marine's statement with, Representative Murtha ..." On the floor, are not supposed to call out Representatives by name. Everyone got the point.

I think there is a House rule that prevents members from addressing one another directly from the floor. She should have had a procedural guru tell her how to have it entered and read.

The Dims jumped on procedure. At least, that's the way I understand it.

But she, and the Marine, hit the nail squarely on it's hate-America head.

I was ticked at that too, Mike.

What the Marine said was something like "And please address this to Rep. Murtha. Cowards cut and run. Marines never run."

The left went nuts on behalf of Murtha. If the e-mail hadn't had his name in it, I don't believe she would have withdrawn it.

I was mad about this too but the bottom line is that she got the point across.

I'd like to send this out to all the DemocRAT lurkers out there.

"Cowards cut and run. Marines finish the job."

I'll apologize after hell freezes over.

Our republic is in jeopardy my friends.

Our Republic is just fine right now. There is a PROCEDURAL rule that doesn't allow a member to call out another member by name.

What was said has been played on the news and EVERYONE has heard about it by now. The damage to the Dems has been done.

Jean Schmidt is my Congress Critter.

She's in over her head. She does not impress me.

What would have happened to her if she'd responded, "I stand by my quote, and have no regret"?

The House would have been forced to make a larger issue of it by attempting to reprimand her!

I keep hearing that Col. Murtha is a 37 year veteran of the Marine Corps. Wasn't he only on active duty a brief part of that time and a reserve officer the rest??

She should restate it without mentioning Murtha's yellow name.

The ".. and I have a message for Congressman Murtha" lead-in is what caused the trouble.

You have described the situation exactly. The RATS have gotten by with far too much lying and distortion and just plain venom against the President and the Republicans. Now we have a WOMAN Republican giving it back to them and they howl with outrage. Wish I could vote for her. Jean Schmidt has raised the bar for her fellow congress persons---
