Yeah, I know a lot of people are upset about this treasonous comment. And it'll be good for more than a few threads. But so what?
If it really upsets you, what are you going to do about it? Post a few angry remarks on a thread (status quo), or do something meaningful?
What's my definition of meaningful?
- Speak the only language most of these politicians understand - support Murtha's opponent Diana Irey
Support can mean money, signing up for her campaign E-mails, volunteering your time, forwarding her URL to all your friends in or near PA, etc. - Write a letter to the editor supporting your troops and publicly chastising Murtha and calling for his resignation.
- Double your efforts to thank servicemembers you know, letting them see Murtha is NOT speaking for most Americans.
- Send a care package and/or letter to troops deployed overseas
- Stop by a recruiter's office with a handshake, a kind word, and/or a nice food item... to show you care and recognize their difficult environment

I know. I've been on both threads. This thread isn't about "talk" though.

Murtha is a real scum. He wasn't there, but he knows exactly what happened and why.

Young Marine Blasts Rep. Murtha at Town Hall Meeting

"Yes sir my name is Mark Seavey and I just want to thank you for coming up here. Until about a month ago I was Sergeant Mark Seavey infantry squad leader, I returned from Afghanistan. My question to you, (applause)
"Like yourself I dropped out of college two years ago to volunteer to go to Afghanistan, and I went and I came back. If I didn't have a herniated disk now I would volunteer to go to Iraq in a second with my troops, three of which have already volunteered to go to Iraq. I keep hearing you say how you talk to the troops and the troops are demoralized, and I really resent that characterization. (applause) The morale of the troops that I talk to is phenomenal, which is why my troops are volunteering to go back, despite the hardships they had to endure in Afghanistan."

I'll make the check out first thing in the morning. I don't live in the district but I'll do whatever I can to get Murtha out of office.

Thanks for the thread Coop. All your suggestions are good one, the best is supporting Diana Irey to get Murtha's sorry rear out of office.

Re: your first suggestion , I went to her home page and found this as the first paragraph. For some time many of us have thought that Murtha has 'lost it'. I thought the use of 'drifted' in the first paragraph was very telling.
Thirty two years is a long time to spend in Washington. For decades, western Pennsylvania looked to John Murtha to stand up for our values. But as the years have drifted by, John Murtha has drifted further and further from the ideals that made this country great. He has become part of the problem in Washington.
I am originally from PA so have always had an interest in the politics of the state.

The Pentagon has confirmed today that Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar and al Zawahri have been captured and are being held at an undisclosed location.
NOAA scientist have issued a press release today claiming they have found a simple low cost solution to global warming (rumored to have been assisted by algore).
Greek officials report that Natalie Holloway has been found living on a local oil magnates yacht.
A UFO has crashed near Ft Wayne Utah, the alien occupants are alive and being cared for by Air Force personnel.
Well have these and other stories, but first, out top story; New evidence has come to light that strongly suggests that Bush did in fact lie about WMDs!

We have a chance to get rid of Murtha this November.
Trouble is, he is firmly entrenched and brings a lot of pork to the area. He will be hard to beat.
