I'm not suggesting we let them get away with it (corruption, fraud, theft, etc.), I'm saying let's give them some rope before we hang em.
The dems are dysfunctional lot, and getting more so.

Nah, there are limits to how high I want to see a traitor climb in our government. It's bad enough when Republican leaders can't talk about Murtha without first praising his service in Vietnam. Folks like myself have to keep reminding the GOP that Benedict Arnold was a decorated War hero, too.

I remember Abscam well. A Republican congressman from my district in Florida, Richard Kelly, lost his job because unlike Murtha, he took the Abscam money. Then Kelly was succeeded by Bill McCollum; you've probably heard of him. While I didn't like Kelly that much, it bothers me more that Murtha would survive the scandal and last long enough to become a walking argument for term limitation, the House equivalent of Robert KKK Byrd.

Murtha's remarks on the ABSCAM tape included something to the effect that, I'm not interested right now, but we could do business in the future if the money were right.
Not only is he another good reason for term limits, he's also a good reason to eliminate the straight-ticket voting option on the ballot. If the lazy know they're going to have to stand there and mark the individual offices, they will either not show up, or they'll just hit a few higher offices and leave the rest blank.

That the Post is running this should tell you that Murtha is not going to win this. If he does then Pelosi has already stepped in a huge pile of dog crap and she hasn't even been sworn in yet!!! Praise the Lord! This is a God thing.
