He's "a male Cindy Sheehan" and "a one-man wrecking crew" on ethics. Is Murtha the man to lead the Democrats?

Monday, June 26, 2006 12:01 a.m.

Two Vietnam veterans now serving in Congress gave speeches over the weekend that help explain why the American people hold both political parties in low esteem , and also why Democrats have largely failed to capitalize on the failures of a Republican president and Congress.

Good article ss. I don't know where Murtha is coming up with a lot of these things he's saying. Some are so far out that I don't think Dean or Kucinich would say them.

His actions over a number of years are worse. Everybody seems to know it and he's still in office, it's just unbelievable to me.

I think I heard whoever is filling in for Drudge tonight say that Murtha said this past week that the United States is a much bigger threat to world stability than North Korea!!!

Un-freakin believable!!!

By pushing forward Rep. Murtha as a fresh leader for their party, they are reinforcing the worst stereotype many swing voters have of a congressional Democrat: a big spender tarnished by scandal who holds wacky foreign-policy views.

You heard correctly.....

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel quoted Mr. Murtha as claiming that the "American presence in Iraq is more dangerous to world peace than nuclear threats from North Korea or Iran." He also told the audience of 200 that "we want as many Americans out of [Iraq] as possible" because "we have become the enemy."

This is so damn funny I can hardly stand it. The Democrats couldn't wait to start lining up behind Murtha, now he is dragging them all into the abyss with his nutty Anti-American screeds. If this stuff doesn't end up in some Republican TV ads this fall, then I will be disappointed. In fact, I would say it's only a matter of time before we start seeing the posts at Kos and Atrios suggesting that Murtha was a Karl Rove plant all along!!!

They are beginning to notice! LOL!

Democrat National Committee chairman Howard Dean is seeing polling numbers that are making him a nervous man. Recent internal polling data for Senate races..... shows Democrat support cratering if not crumbling around the edges.

Dean is going to be crucified if he doesn't deliver at least one chamber of congress.
