This is an elected member of the House talking of denying our troops who are fighting and dying as I type this in Iraq the equipment....training to defend themselves against an enemy who will show no quarter and asks for none.

Words fail me.

[JohnRand]

The only good thing about this is the American people will be reminded in 2008 of this vote. It will rightly be viewed then as we all view it now as an abandonment of our troops. It's politically expedient RIGHT NOW for politicians to play these types of games but it will haunt them in 2008.

BTW, did you know that one of the Haditha Marines who Murtha called a cold-blooded killer is actually from Murtha's district?

Darryl Sharratt (father of LCpl. Justin Sharratt) has asked repeatedly sent requests to meet with Murtha or anyone in his office. Darryl has never even had the courtesy of a returned phone call.

Treasonous, idiotic, political posturing SOB!!! How DARE he even think, let alone say out loud, this kind of thing? I'm only 25 years old, but there used to be a time when you would get your butt monkey-stomped for saying things like this. God bless my fellow brethren in the U.S. Military. We will win this war, if the D.C. dumbocRATS don't lose it for us.

[GadareneDemoniac]

I'll tell you what I think - the troops need to come home now and turn their guns on the traitors in this country!

I would never advise any grandchild of mine to waste blood and sweat for a government that will cut them off at the knees.

Damn it!! This is the second time in my lifetime that this has happened. Enough is enough.

Did anybody have his speech on tape? Somebody should make ads from this kind of quotes from the Democrats for the masses to see.

[Fury]

Do you have a citation for the quote? Location? (on the House floor, etc)?

[cll]

I have nothing but contempt for that EX-marine.

[Txsleuth]

To add to that...Feingold gave a speech today saying that he is for cutting funding...but, he said...they aren't cutting funds for the "troops"....just for the "WAR"!!!

LOL...they really think we are that dumb??

[Enchante]

When I referred to this bozo as "John al-Murtha" before the election someone here got bent out of shape about it.....
now I feel prophetic -- it was clear long ago that Murtha would rather undermine the troops he claims to care about and weaken the nation he purports to love than allow the USA to achieve VICTORY against the terrorists.

[TravisBickle]

While Murtha is solely responsible for his words- I believe it's time to start holding the voters in those districts with some responsibility. I'm not sure the best way to do that, but these guys don't just show up. They are elected by voters who are either too stupid or too apatheric to know better. But there actions are now proving to be harmful to our country and it has to stop.

Thank the good people of Pennsylvania for returning this piece of drek to the US congress.

I think it is time that we the peeples know exactly what type of medical conditions and what type of meds anyone in the House or Senate have and use.

I know we have medical privacy laws, but we need to know that that the people who can pass laws that affect us, that can confiscate our money, that decide domestic and foreign policy, are not thinking in a prescription drug fog. And yes, it does not matter what party.

[Iluvpopcrn]

Just what does it take for someone to be charged with treason today?

[FryingPan101]

"There’s no question in my mind.”

Excuse me, Congressman. What you clearly meant was "There's no mind in my mind."

I wrote to my congressman today and expressed my heartfelt sorrow at their actions. There is no such animal as a symbolic rejection. It's a rejection.

[Isara]

I suspect that some Democrats are making a deal with terrorists to undermine our Commander-in-Chief in exchange for foreign funding for them to be in power. They committed treason in the past. Why not doing it again?

[rocksblues]

I just want to thank all the so called Americans from District 12 in Pennsylvania that voted for this POS!

[razzle]

The Lord will take care of these devils on the Left. That I am certain.

[voltaires_zit]

Back alley, underhanded B.S. from a chair polishing ballot louse. It is despicable trying to tie strings to the appropriations bill to make war fighting more difficult.

If Murtha had any balls, he would do the right thing (at least by his lights) and entirely de-fund the war. That, at least, would be a straight-up stand.

[jazusamo]

The despicable cowardly murtha is a disgrace as a Congressman, an ex-Marine and as an American.
