I agree with you about the timing, but considering what the Democrats have been doing to Tom Delay and the POTUS, I say it's time to talke the gloves off and expose every crooked Democrat we find

"While an investigation may be warranted, I think the timing is bad. Murtha is a Marine and has served his country, no doubt."
Screw this "Marine." Just because you went through it when you were younger does not give you a lifelong license to act like an asshat, and be disloyal to the President, and, in effect, disloyal to all the current armed forces. Kerry was in the military too, you know.
As for this "steering" of Pentagon contracts to firms and people he knows...he just lost any shred of "honor" he might have convinced me he had. It's all about the money and/or the politics.
Semper screw Murtha.

When the DIMs start whining bout this, republicans should (but won't) point out the number of conservative non profits that were audited by Clinton's IRS. And the left wing ones that weren't.

It occurs to me that Murtha may have known the lid was about to blow off his crimes, so he changed sides to get media favor.

I think the time line is reversed. This probe was already underway, I bet, before Murtha came up with his pull-out ploy.

I think the right time is now.
If they wait for a more appropriate time, they'll wind up waiting forever--as usual.
I think it's time to investigate Nancy Pelosi for campaign finance fraud, too.

Murta was also snagged in the ABSCAM scandal (no files charged) 25 years ago.
Murtha was the only congressman involved in the complex case to emerge without facing criminal charges. He declared he was innocent, saying he had "met with two men who I believed had a substantial line of credit that could provide up to 1,000 jobs for the district. I broke no law. I took no money." A grand jury and the House ethics panel cleared Murtha of any wrongdoing.

The dems are trying to convince the nation that if you disagree with the Admin. policy they will go after you. The reality is if you disagree with the dems or the media, they will go after you.

About time this Kanjorski guy gets caught with his fingers in the cookie jar. Any investigation into any/many of the antics of this idiot over the last 15+ years and he would be fried.
For too long this political hack has been pulling the wool over the eyes of the good people in the Wilkes-Barre area (NE PA) with the continued help of all the local news.
My wife subscribes to the local news rag "for the coupons". She is not a political junky but for reasons unknown to me she constantly watches FOX News.
P.S. Congressman Martha will never be guarding God's
Gate with the true MARINES. Semper Fi

Daschle went to bed with a Boeing lobbiest every night - his wife. Nobody seemed to think that too cozy. Probably because 90% in both parties have similarly sleazy arrangements with lobbiests.

This is going nowhere. All dems have to do is threaten to investigate Trent Lott's lobbyist son or Roy Blunt's lobbyist wife.

While an investigation may be warranted, I think the timing is bad. Murtha is a Marine and has served his country, no doubt. BUT - he is wrong, and has been wrong on Iraq for a while Typical scaredy-cat Republican stance. We are at war with the dems. It doesn't matter that he was a marine. That's irrevelant now. He's a coward and a traitor NOW. Our side needs to politically defeat their enemies by any means necessary.
