--John Murtha, when asked his opinion on the president and vice president's comments about the Democrats' lying short and selective memory about the run-up to this war
John Murtha can kiss my commoner redneck ass.
I listened to Fred Barnes on FoxNews with Brit and Fred nailed him...and I found what he said sooo right on.
I have military friends talk about Iraq and their story is totally different than what the lousy media continues to display. It makes them really angry because LOTS AND LOTS of great things are taking place in Iraq.
I wonder HOW MANY TIMES John Murtha has been to Iraq and really set down and talked to those soldiers? He's talking to families who've had sons over there 3 times. I've got family that's been in Iraq and Afghanistan 4 times....that's his job. And he's not complaining.
John Murtha has two wars as a Marine under his belt - Korea and Vietnam. He can say whatever he damn well pleases.
That "Murtha" can go to blazes!
He's not a "career Marine" like Dreher says.
He signed up during Korea (but never served in Korea) and left as soon as he qualified for his GI bill.
He got his degree, went into business, dabbled in state politics and then, at the time he deemed auspicious he signed up for a year in Vietnam at the age of 35.
While he was there he was already planning his campaign for state senate and was elected a few months after he got back.
He's been living off the public till for the past 37 years.
The guy's a Kerry before Kerry ever was and an operator through and through.
His tough guy act is pathetic.
