The vote was 403-3. The Republicans disagreed with Murtha on POLICY, while making it clear that they were not personally attacking the man. That was the correct approach. Ann, however, has bought into the notion that it's not enough to disagree on policy; vicious personal attacks are necessary. That's 'Rat logic; we're better than that (although she isn't).
In order to make her point, she had to quote Henry Hyde on his praise only, and leave out the remark that "among his great qualities, infallibility is not one of them." Ann has become an intellectually dishonest attack dog who plays to emotion, not logic. She's no better than the 'Rats who can't do anything other than launch personal attacks.
I can't wait for the day when the President makes Ann his Sister Souljah.
She didn't say that. She took great exception to those who seem to feel it's necessary to kiss the Dem's butts before you can say anything is wrong with their policies or worldview.
Your parsing of her words says more about you than her.
You seem to believe that we have statesmen in office. You are wrong. Their priorities center only upon themselves. This is true of Democrats AND Republicans. Children need to be scolded when they behave like ...children. I admonish the whole fat-ass American population who would rather see who is "the Biggest Loser" than wakeup and smell the truth that there are murdering savages that would glady crush their way of life, regardless of its debauched and pathetic way. Unfortunately we have a treasonous, self-centered, Godless coalition of Leftist scum-suckers who actively plan on facillitating the murder of the American dream. These are the more dangerous of the two, solely because as long as we have the better people of our country who believe in self-sacrifice and honor (ie something greater than themselves), militarily , these LIVING FREAKIN' HEROES, will not allow us to lose from outside our country. It really is the insidious enemy within that will break us; without them, Moo-slime Joe doesn't have a chance at waxing my car, let alone killing my family.
So -- Murtha is a coward and a POS, solely for aiding and abetting the enemy, so he can have his 15 minutes with Chairman Mao-Pelosi.
Sorry to offend your sensibilities, but I think it is time we revive an old tradition of debating the truth in the open, especially in the people's forum of the House of R. And for those brave enough to "call a spade a spade" I'm sorry if they get raked over the coals and lose an election. America is more important than any one person's job security.
A lot of people at this forum need to re-watch Zell Miller's speech at the convention. I'd be happy to facilitate the viewing.
