Rep. Murtha had the best healthcare taxpayer money could possibly buy and he’s now dead as a doornail.
The average 77 year old under Obmomma Care would get pain pills.

Even if that were the case, can you imagine trying to get a fair venue for such a trial?
It’s a Rat tradition to pronounce a verdict long before the trial has begun.
I’m interested what the verdict on Murtha is.

The guy was receiving top of the line care from a state run hospital and it killed him. For this we want more of the same but run at pion level standards?

So, healthcare reform will make doctors ‘gods’ who can do no wrong? /s

Hey, the old “win one for Teddy” didn’t work in the Senate either. In fact, the “Teddy” seat didn’t survive.
“Win one for Murtha” has a kiss of defeat smell to it too.
We can only hope.

As a member of Congress, Murtha had been exempted from the 0bamascare plan that us peasants would endure. No rationing of care, or Death Panels for them!
This doesn't fit with the concept that "all me are created equal" from The Declaration of Independence, but Murtha was among those that felt that they were somehow elite, and more entitled.
The next time I'm in Pennsylvania, I plan to "honor" Murtha at his gravesite, but first I a need a couple of Big Gulps to do it right.

Did I hear him right? I though when he was talking about tort reform he said that Murtha’s loss (value of his life) was great. As in more valuable than someone else his age.

I guess Kennedy just wasdn’t enough? *eyeroll*

If they want to use someone killed by a government doctor in a government hospital as a poster boy for socialized medicine, I say “sounds like a plan!”
