Is this a wise place to go? No, the 1st words out of any dems mouth will be that Murtha is being attacked akin to what the Swifties did to Kerry.
Not that what the Swifties did to Kerry was wrong but just that what the dems are going to say.

With all due respect, and I really do respect you, Oxen, Kerry and Murtha were the ones who attacked their opponents based on who served and who didn't. They based their qualifications on the fact that they served, and that others didn't (or if they did, it wasn't as noble as their own).
Murtha is up for re-election this year. He is the one who brought his service into this, with his railing against "chickenhawks" like the Vice President (MURTHA'S words, not mine).
Personally, I'd rather not have to go through something like this again (I got sick of Kerry's duplicity during the 2004 campaign, his saying that he was a war hero of a war that he and others worked so hard to undermine). However, since they want to run on their service, and claim superiority over others because of their service, then questioning of their service is fair game. Only in the mind of the Left is questioning their service "a smear".
I understand your viewpoint, OXEN, and I do respect you and your posts. I just respectfully disagree.
