“God Bless America”

BTTT!
Murtha and his ilk are important friends of our enemies. It tears me apart inside every time I think of our children in prison (Pendleton 8). Our marines are being treated worse than the terrorists in Guantanamo. I suspect that Murtha is not intelligent enough to realize that he has become a useful idiot to the leftists in this country and the terrorists abroad. Or Murtha is simply so blinded by hate that he has abandoned our marines. Or, perhaps he is a victim of dementia. ...victim-ology is a characteristic of many of today's Democratic Party. Murtha needs a time-out. BM = Boot Murtha!
I hope that the people from my former home town are not so greedy and hateful that they would continue to tolerate such scum. Maybe they will boot him and run an honest Democrat (if they can find one) next election!
BUMP. Coming in from southeast PA.
