I don't know if he's a coward, but he certainly is a traitor and a liar.

"Is Jack Murtha a Coward and a Traitor?"

No. He's an old fool.

We can do without the names. I'm satisfied with "He's wrong."

I doubt Murtha is a coward. Unlike John F'n Kerry, he has actually "been there, done that" in significant combat, and has apparently had a long record of supporting the military.

On the other hand, I have no doubt at all that at this point he has fallen deep into error. Even warriors are not exempt from senile folly and/or political pressure.

A traitor? Yes, he is.

Murtha is a traitor, President Bush's comments notwithstanding. For many reasons Bush cannot himself publicly acknowledge this truth.

He is both a coward and a traitor. Period.

He has provided sufficient evidence to justify both labels.

Nah, he's just allowing himself to be used. Code Pink are traitors.

He's not a coward, but his conduct is certainly treasonous and he may be demented too!

I say Murtha is a flip-flopp'en idiot. His proposal to cut and run from Iraq is deadwrong. Withdrawing our troops at this time gives a victory to our enemies, the terrorists. Like Cheney said, some Democrats have lost their memory and their backbone.

If someone wants to call John Murtha a coward and a traitor, have at it.

Muir has it right. There's no need to label people as traitors or liars when garden-variety foolishness is more than enough to explain the behavior. There is a much larger supply of stupidity in Washington, D.C., than dishonesty and treason. (Though, admittedly there are pockets of the other two, especially dishonesty, that need dealing with.)

Time to focus on Murtha's stupid message, not his character. The White House press spokesman blew this one straight out of the gate by comparing Murtha to Michael Moore instead of blasting his stupid statement and pointing out its obvious pre-Thanksgiving-break timing.

Leave the character besmirching up to the bloggers! :-)

I believe he was blackmailed into doing/saying what he did.

He is without integrity. He has no principles.

It is my opinion, that we need to drop any sense of cordiality.

The demoSCUM (and many RINOs) want our country to focus more on words, than on action.

It is the reason why that the PC culture has overtaken most public discourse. If someone is a scumbag, lying, piece of crap, one shouldn't be forced call them "my colleague". Just because someone was elected to Congress, doesn't mean that they have the best interests of this country at heart (and, yes, that applies to both party members).

Bottom line: Respect is earned, not given.

And, unfortunately, respect can be pissed away in one act.

That is what has happened to Rep Murtha. Sure he served his country; that's good. He has served in Congress for years: good.

But... when you have thrown in with the likes of Nancy Piglosi and her anti-American rhetoric, you're knocked back down to zero. And rightly so.

It's real simple. Most of us learned it a long time ago: actions, not words.

The dems are hollow talkers. I prefer action. So, when they say that they want "this" or "that". Call 'em on it. They are all show, no go. Plain and simple.

-When people engage in debate within the boundaries of legitimate disagreement...-

Cutting and running in the middle of an engagement we're having success with doesn't qualify as "legitimate" to me. If our misrepresentatives are so ill-informed they don't know about the successes (vote - duh! constitution - duh! police training - duh!) they shouldn't waste our time by seat-warming in DC.

He may have been a brave patriot once, but now he's neither one. And before people start whining that he's served his country--let me say, so did Benedict Arnold. They don't get a pass just because they did right in the past. They need to keep doing right.

I doubt Murtha is a coward

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You guys are dicussing the wrong issue?

The issue is John Murtha is a coward on the real issue.

The real issue is he is cowardly to discuss the war on terror.

No..he is not....he is a decorated military vet. This kind of attack will not serve us well with the military or the American people.

From the suggestions I have seen posted here recently, it may be that Murtha "supports the military" because he is one of the two or three biggest pork artists in the country, and the Defense Department always has a lot of money to spend and, I'm afraid, waste.

He has been involved with a number of corrupt deals, according to reports, and presumably is getting kickbacks or contributions in return.

Spending a lot of money on military purchasing doesn't necessarily mean you are doing the right thing. It depends very much on how you spend it.
