I think the Dems were ASTONISHED that the Republicans reacted like this. They were hoping that the news buzz over the holidays would be Murtha..the great patriot Marine against Bush...and it didn't happen that way, thank God!The Dems figured that the Republicans would react as they always did...especially with DeLay gone...but the vote is the vote...and the vote backs the troops!
Don't you think that the Hammer called in that play?
I agree. I am sure Mother Sheehan was planning her mtgs. with Murtha, and vice-versa.
