'They won't be able to continue. They won't be able to do the deployment. They won't have the equipment, they don't have the training and they won't be able to do the work. There’s no question in my mind.”

I agree.

[RedRover]

I suggest they too can go straight to hell.

BOLD-FACE BTTT!

[tillacum]

Oh how I wish we treated traitors, today, as we did in WWII.

[ChadGore]

With What? SPITBALLS ?

A modern day Benedict Arnold.

But I remember a story about the 2000 election that claimed that the Democrats had hired a man who had been convicted of voter fraud in another state to program the voting machines, and then sold the same ones to Montgomery County.

Here's some background on this corrupt sack of human garbage:

Are the people in Johnstown, PA proud that they have elected this fake hero of VN and now a traitor to the U.S. and the military in Iraq and Aphfaganistan? I would hang my head in shame.

[cubreporter]

We became this way because of political correctness....not making people responsible for their actions and a bunch of gutless wonders in Washington that turn tail and run.

Murtha is included in the pack that wants to cut and run. Tuck their tails turn and run. Disgusting. Where are the good politicians? Shame on the republicans that joined forces with the dem/libs. Oh shame on them and I hope they can still look themselves in the mirror when more and more of our brave military are killed and...the USA is attacked once more. God forgive them cause I sure can't and will never vote again.

and the people in that part of PA are idiots of the first order...average IQ in the area must be rated as imbecile -

[AngryJawa]

I would say the same about people who voted to reelect "men" like Arlen Specter who wants dialogue with Iran or the republicans who are for retreat.

What in the world then do we say about a POTUS that ignored a real conservative candidate to support the reelection of a "man" like Arlen Specter who wants dialogue with Iran...

There's a lesson in there somewhere, but my head hurts too much to see it.

[huldah1776]

Johnstown PA is very a very depressed area and the schools are horrible. The people there probably don't even know who he is, or can afford a newspaper. To get him out, someone would have to invest in the area, create jobs, educate the people.

This is what the American Electorate voted for.

Every time I read something like this I just want to say I'm glad I'll be dead in 40-50 years.

It is apparent that the last thing our representatives are doing is representing us. Murtha... out... on a stick.

A rebellion is in order. If not, WE ARE THE ONES WITHOUT CAJONES.

Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death
Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775.

No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The questing before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free-- if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

"How did it get to this point."

1. Tolerating assholes, excusing treason and treachery.
2. Allow "Public Education" to become Leftist Indoctrination centers.
3. Allowing "elected offices" to become lifetime careers for 3rd rate feckless imbeciles who would fail in most private sector challenges.
4. Permitting non contributors to vote.
5. Pretending that all cultures, religions and ethnic moral ethics are equal.
6. Permitting bilingual education in public indoctrination centers.
7. Promoting false "self esteem" in underachievers, rather than pushing students toward true worth or value.
8. Pandering to racial/ethnic minorities...who NEVER reciprocate once they become the majority...
9. Accepting the premise that generation after generation is entitled to welfare for life..
10. Rewarding unwed mothers with taxpayer's money.
11. Never learning that you always get more of whatever you subsidize.
12. Etc. etc.. etc...

I could go on....but you already get the drift..
We as a nation, have lost our way....
We are being led into the abyss by the dumbest, most inept and clearly the most incompetent Public "leadership" the nation has ever suffered under..

There is a reason all previous great civilization have fallen..
They are dragged down by the overwhelming weight of the nonproductive assholes, leaches, cowards and perverts that accumulate....

Semper Fi
