This transcript would have been a bit more accurate had it reported that the Democrats called out against giving Sam Johnson a three-minute extension, but declined to stand and identify themselves...

I salute you, Senator Johnson. Those are important words that need to be repeated and echoed by your colleagues.

bump for a great set of remarks by Mr. Johnson.

(has anyone seen a transcript of Murtha's House floor attacks on our military capabilities?)

You can probably track it down via the Library of Congress search link at the top of the thread.

I saw and read about this speech in the MSM. Not! Murtha, the new MSM hero, was the only one covered. You all need to copy and send this to all of your liberal friends!

Withdrawal is not an option. To our men and women in uniform, I simply say, God bless you. I salute you. All of America salutes our troops.





Thank you!

"...I did spend 29 years in the Air Force, and I served in Korea and Vietnam and spent 7 years as a POW in Vietnam and more than half of that in solitary confinement. I know what it is like to be far from home, serving your country, risking your life, hearing that America doesn't care about you as happened in Vietnam..."

Sam Johnson Viet Nam Vet Hero AND POW gets it PING!

"...To us, Mr. Kerry's comments meant that no one should do to Mr. Murtha that which Mr. Kerry did to all of us and our fellow Vietnam veterans, living and dead. Mr. Kerry's disgraceful comments on many occasions in 1971 (while we were locked in combat), claiming falsely that we were "murdering" hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese and committing rape and mayhem on a daily basis, are a part of the public record for which he has never apologized. This might be called "Kerrying" our soldiers..."

Lifelong Independent Voter AND a Viet Nam Vet
helping the Republican Party, again,
just like on Nov 2 2004 PING

Too bad the "Move On FReepers" are still on FR and not
DU where they came from!

DU loves "Move On FReepers" who howl and scream,
just like Howard Dean

DU loves "Move On FReepers" who attack honorable
Viet Nam Vets rather than the dishonorable hanoi kerry.

DU loves "Move On FReepers" who "swore"
klintoon, hitlery, hanoi kerry, sanbdi ber(bur)glar, al bore, jane beno,
would be prosecuted for
pardongate, chinagate, the bribes in upstate NY in the 2000 NY Senate race, waco, etc, etc,
"when" the "time was right".

I'd have loved to see that and I'd pay good money to have it on an mpeg!

Do me a favor - ping your list to the post below? Dr. Patty really appreciates even cards/notes to include in her packages. If there are angels on earth she's one of them!

This was an incredibly moving speech. It SHOULD have been the headline in the morning papers, and would have if we had a real media instead of the media branch of the DNC.

Sam Johnson is a helluva man. I salute you Sam.

And I salute the MSM who ignore him but not with the Army salute I reserve for Sam Johnson and those like him. I salute the MSM with one use often in the Bronx.
