Censure Murtha.
Silly me, I seem to have forgotten the part where the Constitution says that when you're elected to congress you can ignore the facts. Murtha, like some three-year-olds and some pacifists of my acquaintance seems to think that if he repeats something it becomes true.
Murtha is so full of it his eyes turned brown.
What are "chemical mortars"?
I subscribed to the Weekly Standard last month because of the great work Stephen Hayes has been doing there. If the profession of journalism was not overrun by mindless liberals, he would be getting a Pulitzer prize for this work.
Censure? I'd like to see a much heftier punishment. He's a traitor to his country, who's sold his soul in hopes of having another term in office.
Then your short-sightedness caused you to miss some other very good material. I, too, disagree that he's a hawk, longtime or any other time--but Hayes has something far more important to say, and if you quit reading there, you missed it all.
good for me
Murtha was a hawk. He didn't start calling for troop withdrawal and running his idiot mouth until the latter half of last year, IIRC. That (combined with his service in Vietnam) was why the libs paraded him so prominently.
Maybe you should go back and read the rest of the article.
nah...I'll take a pass
Does Murtha's challenger have any chance of knocking him off?
I don't have any idea, but in Pennsylvania, where Arlen Spectre is considered a conservative, I would think Murtha is pretty safe. But I honestly don't know.
What are you smoking? Arlen Specter came within a hair of being knocked off in the primary last time, and was only saved because President Bush and Rick Santorum campaigned vigorously for him. Santorum's Specter support and his move toward the center are the primary reason he's vulnerable this year. As James Carville once said, "Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, separated by Alabama." If we could just get the voter ID bill past our notably corrupt governor and could remove the 200,000+ Democrat virtual voters from the Philly area, PA would be solidly red.
Why didn't you just answer the initial question instead of trying to insult me? I said in my post I didn't know.
Thanks for including that.....
