WASHINGTON The race to be the No. 2 House Democratic leader turned nasty Tuesday, with challenger Rep. John Murtha accusing opponents of "swift-boat style attacks" that hark back to his days being investigated in the FBI's 1980 Abscam sting.

Nah, the Rats are divided and their margins are to slim. It`s 08 that is scarey
The dumb-o-crats lie to their own and stab them in the back. Oh this is going to get uly, and the voters are going to suffer. For those who voted them in, time to suck it up.
Casey's father was pro-life, but the empty suit son refuses to say how he'd vote. Let's just say he's heavily beholden to liberals and can be counted on to vote whichever way they indicate.
Guesss we better stock up on the popcorn.
"And three, I bring home the bacon for my district."
That says it all. A perfect henchman for Pelosi.
The latter was an invention of CP/USA, I believe, and the former the invention of the leftists pukes who are heroes to the North Vietnamese Communists.
McCarthy lacked charisma, was definitely not telegenic, and he was a heavy drinker -- but he was consistently accurate, history has proved. Ditto the Vietnam war veteran critics of Kerry (the consistently accurate part).
Not to disparage Kerry's service(s); but after all though Benedic Arnold proved that you could be a hero to both sides in the same war it's not generally an honor.
LOL!
Oh, my old head, I almost forgot: AND DEATH TO AMERICA!!
Since when is the truth a smear?
LOL!
It's annoying to see "swift boating" and "McCarthyism" accepted as pejoratives.

Well said! You are absolutely correct!
And the man most responsible for this JFnK almost became POTUS.
Who? Aunt Bertha? What's Aunt Bertha, ohh, ohh, John Murtha! They look the same to me!
Wow, the libscum are starting to eat their own already. Amazing.
Apparently they won't spare anything or anyone -- even themselves -- from the pain and misery they are going to inflict on America over the next two years...
EGOMANIAC (typical Dem trait)
There are whispers in the Congressional community that Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi maybe counting her chickens before they have hatched. It seems that many moderate Democrats are waking up with a hangover worse than a Sailor after a three day liberty.
Back channel chat between the newly majority Dems and the still sore GOPers may be coming to a deal to pull the rug out from under Ms. Pelosi by choosing a moderate or conservative Democrat congressman for Speaker that both can support.
Congresswoman Pelosi has already become more of a lightning rod in a position that she hasn't taken yet, than former Speaker Newt Gingrich. Many southern Democrats are already at odds with the liberals poised to take commitee chairmanships and three have considered changing party affiliation.
Two high-ranking Democrats have already been publically rebuked, Congressman Steny Hoyer of Maryland and Congresswoman Jane Harmon of California. Most notably, in breach of Beltway etiquette, assumed Speaker Pelosi openly supporting Congressman John Murtha, Pennsylvania, for Majority Leader over Hoyer.
One aide, who didn't want to be identified, said, "It might be time to take her down a notch or two, referring to Pelosi. If she keeps the way she's been going, someone might pour a bucket of water over her head!", referring to the climactic scene in the film "The Wizard of Oz".
He must be a little touchy about the subject no doubt.
