I wonder if Pelosi is just paying off debts. He demands the post, she offers, most object, he loses, debt paid.
"I wonder if Pelosi is just paying off debts."
Yeah, what's he got on her? She used him as her useful idiot front man against the Iraqi war. This smells like the classic backroom deal to me.
She's backing him in the face of political suicide for doing so. Too bad the vote is secret, or we'd find out who else owes Jack Murtha.
In early 2004, according to Roll Call, Mr.Murtha "reportedly leaned on U.S. Navy officials to sign a contract to transfer the Hunters Point Shipyard to the city of San Francisco."
Laurence Pelosi, nephew of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, at the time was an executive of the company which owned the rights to the land.
I wonder if Pelosi is just paying off debts.
You betcha!!!
This is the setup for Hillary. I tell you they write these scripts in Michael Moore's basement.
Hillary is the only RAT who came out for the war. She needs to parlay that. Putting Murtha there puts Hillary in a bad light because if we do cut and run, Hillary cannot say "I didn't approve of that." If we stay though, she can say, "See, I was for the war and it makes her look more centrist."
We are watching a television movie unfold. It is smoke and mirrors because that's all the RATS have. That's all they ever had, same as the Communists in Eastern Europe had.
Refer back to any periodical about Moscow in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's and you will find this information. It just has to be put into context.
