Mornin! You missed the 8000 posts last night during the voting. Be thankful Sunday isn't that busy.
The Democrats will now insist the vote was only a stunt and they will try to spin it as not serious. Regardless, their supporters have to be told about these guys not supporting withdrawl, which is what the anti-Bush people want. Three voted no and six voted present.
Murtha is also under investigation, but Democrats don't want to hear that either.
Yeah, Morgan, they started last night saying this was nothing like what Murtha had proposed.
J.D. Heyworth was very brief but very effective when he held up a NY Slimes frontpage headline, and WAPO front pageheadline, and an Al Jazzeera frontpage headline--all said Murtha wanted immediate withdrawal.
Many are suggesting that's what prompted this sudden little burst into the spotlight--that he can now claim any charges against him are politically motivated by the evil vindictive ... blah blah blah.
The interesting thing is that this was reported on by the LA Slimes (usually a dressed up DNC talking points fax). I'm not sure what's up with that, but they also mentioned that the scam involved a Pelosi. One of her sons IIRC.
[The Democrats will now insist the vote was only a stunt and they will try to spin it as not serious.]
This stunt vote proves that the democrat politicians do not represent their base vote, they talk one way,vote another.
[Katrina hurt us for the next election.]
The left wing media propaganda assault hurt, the democrat governor of Louisiana and the mayor of New Oreleans were at fault and needed a scapegoat.
Which now means the "Democrat Rewrite History Cycle" has shrunk to less than 48 hours. Murtha made a fool of himself earlier in the week and the Dems made a fool of him last night by cutting and running in Washington leaving hapless Murtha with three yes and 6 present votes.
The Dems don't get it but the only thing that could possibly work for them in 2006 and 2008 is to support the war on terrorism wherever it must be fought.
WOOZERS! 8000?! I gave up after 6000 post! Bawhahahaha...BUT it was so entertaining and hilarious it was so much fun, except my eyes wouldn't stay open long enough to finish reading the rest of thread...:0)
Perhaps that has something to do with Murtha's "coming out" on Iraq - wanting to innoculate himself by indicating that any investigation of him is motivated by his remarks on Iraq
Murtha struck me in Friday's debate as emphatically a Democrat partisan - his arguments for withdrawl were right from their playbook and basically pathetic if not treasonous.
