You are not being clear at all. Why on earth are you on this thread? You have no interest in pursuing this issue, that much you have made clear.

What are you - the thread police? If I don't agree with your position, I'm not supposed to be on YOUR thread or something? Get off it, Calpernia and grow a spine or something.

And if you can't get the simple point that I and many other freepers made at the beginning of this thread, maybe you should ask yourself why you are here discussing something when you can't follow the discussion.

I've read that already. And commented on it. If you're saying that we can't have fair elections here because some congressmen are corrupt, that's just nutty, imo.

That would mean we haven't ever had fair elections in this country because we've always had some people in Congress who are corrupt and always will.

I don't think we should pursue this. Murtha is not running for higher office, he is elderly and he is doing more damage every time he opens his mouth than anything we can do to him.

I disagree! Every leftist weinie who opens his/her mouth in the interest of socialism ought to be exposed for what they are to the American people. Murtha included......

NJ and PA have a history with each other with corruption.

NJ and PA have voter fraud times 10.

The billboard reference was why McGreevey made his I'm a Gay American announcement. It was a media distraction.

PA and NJ launder money to each other by buying billboard ads.

It is our congressmen that are suppose to keep our voting rights in check.

Since PA and NJ have a corruption history, Murtha brings NJ one step closer to have scandals uncovered.

Go after Murtha for the hypocrisy of his actions now. There's nothing wrong with that.

But have you actually seen evidence that shows you that Murtha did not earn his medals? I sure haven't and I've asked several times now on this and another thread.

Now that Peach has quit for the evening, why is it a dream?

Because that's politics...

Or rather the lack of balls on Politicians.

The reason it won't happen is that, let's say Kerry was brought up on charges, and I'll be unspecific, the democrats will feel the need to respond in kind. They will find something on someone and make it a national issue, not only because they can but because they have available targets already.

The only way to really shift the balance of power is at the ballot box and that is the way to get rid of Kerry. Last time he was elected he used the Swift Boat Veterans (yeah the same ones that prevented him from being president) to keep his office. This time around they won't be behind him, and I predict the next time he runs for the senate it will be from Pennsylvania as John Heinz.

When it comes to Kerry's treason the tools to charge him are there for the congress and the justice department, to date the only reason they haven't been used is a lack of balls and the threat of a responce in kind from the other side.

And yes I don't like it one bit.

Are you so into yourself that you haven't realised that the vets on this board are almost all republican?

That's a rhetorical, a responce from you is not required.

As I see it Mr Murtha currently has a huge problem with the truth. Am I to believe that his current problems with honesty do not conflict with his past record? Maybe Mr Murtha needs to sign a Form 180 like his buddy Mr Kerry?

LOL. Maybe he does. Anyway, I've yet to see any evidence that Murtha's medals weren't earned. Not that I expect that to stop some people.

Is that famous "logic" if yours so faulty that you don't understand the difference between the Republican party and veterans? Ooops. I asked that already and you can't answer it.

"I honestly believe that we will never be able to make Kerry account for his actions during the Viet Nam war and we will never be able to have thrown out of the senate because he is there illegally. "

We can do it.

That son of a bitch is there because of his lies, and God knows that the truth will always prevail.

That was my point. The politicians won't do it, so why don't we?





>>>>The reason it won't happen is that, let's say Kerry was brought up on charges, and I'll be unspecific, the democrats will feel the need to respond in kind. They will find something on someone and make it a national issue, not only because they can but because they have available targets already.

This is almost the same as the argument of 'don't fight fight, they might fight back'.




>>>>The only way to really shift the balance of power is at the ballot box and that is the way to get rid of Kerry.

People like Kerry, et al, are in office due to voter fraud.

This can't get fixed unless the corrupt congressmen are unseated.

Look, just today a Massachusett's baby got called to jury duty:

Oh I understand it, I just didn't think I had to explain it to you.

Like I said before anyone that tells me that protecting The party is all important above all other things, and you suggest that in a number of your comments, reeks of liberalism.

Two perfect examples: Clinton and Nixon

Clinton made himself the party and all the little democrats did whatever they had to to keep him in office at any costs.

Nixon knew when the republican party couldn't help him any longer and resigned so that conservative ideas would no suffer from his disgrace.

As for your proof you ask for, The word of a former congressman and decorated Viet Nam Veteran that served in congress with him isn't enough to at least ask for some sort of proof from Muthra?

You raise the bar like a liberal as well.

#1. So you're saying that the effort to discredit Murtha can't go forward without the Republican party?

That's horsepoo. The effort against Kerry went forward without the help of direct help of the Republican party.

#2. I've asked for proof on this thread and others that Murtha's medals weren't fairly earned. Where is it? Link, please.

The word of a congressman may be interesting, but you do realize it doesn't represent proof, don't you?

There was lots of proof with Kerry didn't earn his medals. So much, an entire book was written about it.

#3. Who said that protecting party was more important than anything else? You're just making stuff up again.

I don't recall where I'd seen it but Murtha's Purple Hearts were requested by Murtha himself. This is not the proper protocol. This in itself is suspect.
