"is the investigation of Murtha ..."

What's this? What investigation? Yippeeeee.

[Spiff]

Bah! Don't ever apologize for telling the truth.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Everyone we need to be strong is a coward........not good!

[SamuraiScot]

She's right. Murtha's not a coward.

He's a traitor.

Ms. Schmidt, please, you did nothing wrong. Don't back down.

Stand for what you believe. We need more like you.

whoa(no pun intended)...reminds be of this:

[Gordongekko909]

Hey, until recently, she had bigger cojones than any other House Republican.

[nutmeg]

ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

[wardaddy]

I like this woman.

She has a pair and nothing to apologize for.

''Everyone makes mistakes and she made a doozy,

I don't see that she made a mistake by telling the truth, I am a little disappointed that she is backing off. Look at some of the things that they said about our fine President and got clean away with it. Talk about double standards.

Everyone should call Jean Schmidt and tell her, you were right to repeat a call from Danny Bupf, the vote was 403-3. Why are you groveling to this bunch, that is the foolish thing.

New Motto, If you support the troops, Quit investigating the troops.

[Tzimisce]

Apologizing for what we think is the first step to giving up our ideals.

Just look at John McCain...

[wildcatf4f3]

will call her office tomrrow to voice my support

[taxesareforever]

by calling 30-year congressman and Vietnam veteran John Murtha a coward for wanting U.S. soldiers out of Iraq.

This is how the media twists what conservatives say. She did not call Murtha a coward. She quoted a serviceman who said it was cowardly to withdraw from Iraq. No apology should have been given. Why oh why do conservatives wimp out to the evilness of the demorats?

[freema]

One woman with more balls than the entire Democratic Party, and many republicans.

She said nothing wrong,
She insulted no one, except, perhaps...
cowards.

[Fresh Wind]

Typical AP journalism. The bias starts up right in the first sentence.

The Democratic National Committee

Also known as the Al-Quida Committee!

[ohhhh]

[She promised in her first floor speech Sept. 6 that she would not engage in name-calling from the House floor. Republican rivals say she went back on her word, lied about who was responsible for what she said, then avoided the media for four days]

She is a man amongst girlie boys in a Congress run by fools,liars and idiots.

>>>And anyway, what the heck does having been a War Heroe, 30 years ago, have to do with his dangerous idiocy, now?<<<

Very few people in the general population are fit for public office. The same for war heroes. I know of at least two war heroes who are not fit: McCain and Murtha.

Did anyone hear a whisper about Sam Johnson of Texas from the MSM after the House vote? He was 10 times the hero that Murtha was; yet his brilliant closing speech in opposition to cutting-and-running seems to have been completely suppressed by the MSM.
