It's a good point. I've often argued that the 2006 election was lost by the R's primarily because they were percieved to have abandoned their fiscal conservative principles.

Yesterday, I saw for the first time the movie “Flags of Our Fathers,” and to think that Murtha wore the same USMC uniform as the 28th regiment disgusts me.

What a sh*tbird.

I noticed that. Maybe Boehner’s action has given the dems second thoughts for now.

Way to go John Boehner!

I would love it if McCain picked Boehner. He could shore up the base, deliver Ohio for us, and thump whoever Obama picks in a debate.

Comparing Murtha to Cthulu is an insult to Cthulu.

He'd be great, but I'd hate to to see him leave Congress.

It could be time for Boehner to trade that little shovel in the House, for a bigger shovel in the WHITE House.

I figure his seat is in a safe district.

“We need a pic of Murtha with an ear tag...”

How about a toe tag instead?

[However, based on recent history, I am not at all confident that we will do any better when we finally regain the majority in Congress. Part of the reason we ARE the minority is because our own leadership was complicit in this same kind of ridiculous largess.]

Indeed, indeed. This is another good reason to abandon the rino GOP and start a third party conservative movement to attempt to regain conservative representitives in the corrupt DC administration. It is possible that the GOP would collapse then and the conservatives could elect conservatives to do the right thing in the DC Congress and executive and judicial areas. Right now, D.C. is corrupt and can no longer do the conservative thing as we are not represented by conservatives but rather by liberal lites.
