Few people can make me hate them, but Murtha does it easily. I do hate that fat, treasonous ba$tard. If he wasn’t giving our tax money away to people in his district, he’d never survived abscam to be re-elected again and again. He is one of the most corrupt people in government.

He is right, since the leftwing is in charge of all media, and our very history in this country.

If they want to spin it, lie, ignore, or rewrite actual events and timelines, they will.

And just as Saddam and Sons are now looked upon as “innocent”, terrorists “win” when they blow up women and children in the marketplace, Israel and the US “oppress” and “occupy”, headchoppers just want a seat at the political table, this Administration SAID things they did not say, their motives are made-up, and what they actually SAID is ignored.

The MSM, academia, and Hollywood, can push facts, events, and history down a black hole never to be seen again, or a completely new and fictional script is written.

“How can these people call themselves Americans?”

Whoa! Don’t always equate being American with honor, loyalty, principled. We are living in the 21st century, and you are talking about a congressman.

You know, this is just more evidence of the Democrats contempt for our military and Murtha’s contempt in particular. I was reading an article this morning...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1898327/posts

about Anbar and our soldiers. The article described how many of our soldiers have become very attached to the ‘peaceful’ Iraqi people that they are helping. What does Murtha think that a ‘pullout bloodbath’ will do to our soldiers? That’s right....HE DOESN’T CARE!!

The Democrats don’t care about our country, our soldiers, or the Iraqi people. They only care about their own political power. They are beyond contemptible.

And Pilot washed his hands and said...

Pontius Pilate is only guilty of doing what he was pre-destined to have done. If Pilate had not allowed for the series of events we describe to have happened, we'd all be worse off.

Jack Murtha isn't even worthy of washing Pilate's feet.

“So I would LOVE to hear how if that blood isn’t on Congress’s hands for cutting and running, then how can the Haditha marines have blood on thier hands Mr. Murtha?”

EXCELLENT POINT BUMP!!

The Democrats managed to blame Vietnam and the aftermath on Nixon. Ask anyone randomly who was responsible for the mess in Vietnam today, and the answer will probably be “Nixon.”

Never mind that JFK started it, JFK and LBJ screwed it up, Nixon almost won it, and congress threw it away.

If you see the movie “The Killing Fields,” you will notice that everyone feels a sense of dread at what is about to happen to the Cambodians. But somehow or other, it isn’t the liberal reporter’s fault. It must have been Nixon’s fault, I guess.

Predictably, if they manage to get power and pull out, the Democrats will blame the killings not on the Iraqi government, but on Bush. Bush will be the new whipping boy for the propagandists for the next 30 years, as indeed he is already.

One more reason why it’s important not to pull out and lose what has been gained, because the true perpetrators will shrug off the blame.

Murtha has lost his mind.

By shear luck of the draw I also lived in wva for about 3 years. If I never see another “ROBERT C BYRD” memorial thing the rest of my life, I’ll be happy.

From and earlier thread today:

Murtha: GOPers to Abandon Iraq After Primaries http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1898276/posts

This thread:

Murtha: Post-Withdrawal Boloodbath Will Not Be Congres' Fault

So according to Earmark Murtha, Iraq is important enough to make Republicans run away from it, but surrender, defeat, and death are not important enough to affect Democrats responsible for it.

Isn't there an assisted living place for this giy in Altoona?

More to the point, Pilot turned over an innocent man to die, and then absolved himself for committing those actions, Murtha is attempting to turn over an innocent population over to be slaughtered, and then pre-absolving himself and his compadres of those actions....

This is really great news here. Since this is probably true, let’s pull all of the police out of Los Angeles, Detroit, New York, etc. Surely it wouldn’t be the city Admin’s fault if all hell broke loose. Right?

Murtha is an unrepentant criminal (see the Abscam tapes). He is not anyone that should speak about conscience.

” I lived in PA for a short while in Murtha’s district. The only thing he is good for is bringing home the pork. He is a crook and should have been in jail for years now. instead he gets to stand up making idiotic speeches about how things won’t be ‘his’ fault when it all goes to heck. As far as he is concerned, a dollar spend in Iraq is a $ that cant be spent in his district.”

Murtha keeps out of jail because the Dem’s protect him as long as he stays on the offensive. The people in Johnstown have used the unions to throw all business out of town and need the Murtha pork to survive. Democrats and Republicans alike.
The defense contractors who support Murtha because he can deliver, are hurting the very troops they supply.

There is more than enough shame to go around. When Murtha started to accuse innocent Marines of murder and ruined their lives you would have thought that citizens of Johnstown, politicians and defense contractors would have said ENOUGH. Didn't’ happen.

Absolutely agree... And any GOP Congress person that bends toward the defeatist Dems must be held to account.

Well, I’ll agree with that. I remember the Johnstown that I saw when I used to visit my grandparents on Feeder St. and my grandfather’s business on Lincoln. There were two department stores downtown (Glosser’s and Penn Traffic) and the streets were bustling. The shopping mall magnate had built a new headquarters near the post office.

I came back through a few years ago and not only is the business gone, but the housing stock is shot to hell. The place now lives on government pork.
