Murtha is clearly losing the battle with senility.
As a Republican and 2nd District voter, I'm embarrassed to be represented by Jean Schmidt. Congressman Murtha's proposal was totally irresponsible and easy to rip apart. Instead of doing that, Schmidt took the easy route and threw out a cheap personal attack against a former Marine and has made the entire national party look bad in the process.
We cannot condemn the unpatriotic DailyKos and vicious MoveOn.org for making ridiculous personal attacks, then defend someone like Schmidt when she does the same. If you don't like Murtha's irresponsible proposal, state why. Instead, Schmidt has managed to make someone totally in the wrong look like the victim here by stooping to MoveOn-style personal attacks.
