	If the GOP attacks this man in this manner at this time, we will lose everything we have fought for. I'm watching this man give a very good speech on the floor of the house right now and I'm telling you all, he doesn't come across as a crazy Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid. He comes across as a respectable retired Marine.  Fight the proposal, not the man.

The man doesn't impress. Here's some interesting reading on how he voted no on a pay raise for our troops but yes to fatten his pocket.

I think you are right on - definitely not a crazy Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid. He has been visiting vets at Walter Reed and I think he is breaking down under grief. Attack the RATS not this one man - he just said the right words to set the ball in motion. We have all been waiting for the Repubs to grow a spine and stand up to the RATS, now they have done it. We have the vote on record and a lot of good sound bites for 2006 campaign. I wish folks would not take out after the Vet Murtha, but rather the looney left that has hijacked his party (like Zell said).
