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.

I'm gonna have to disagree whole-heartedly with you on this one.

The Honorable Jean Schimdt relayed a message to him from a fellow Marine. She did not actually call Mr. Murtha a coward but it would be fine with me if she had.

Mr. Murtha has denigrated the hard work and truly notable accomplishments of not only his fellow-Marines but the rest of the U.S. Military involved in the war effort. We have a number of critical operations involving infantry combat going on and Mr. Murtha has done the unspeakable. He is truly giving joy and comfort not only to the American left but to the Islamo-Fascists fighting our Troops and Iraqi Troops and civilians.

He has attacked not only the Commander in Chief but the entire leadership of the War on Terror and by constantly bringing up "'Boo Grab" (his pronunciation-not mine)he implies that our sons & daughters are evil, torturers of hapless innocents.

I am truly puzzled by his motives for grabbing the cameras at this time. I am not so cynical, yet, to believe he did this because of the ethics investigations against him were coming to a head.

To Mr. Murtha I would say, "Al Qaida luvs ya, baby!"
