If nothing else, this proves the base will respond and help IF the Republicans get off their duffs and address these issues.

I don't see how that hurts us. They still a) look like idiots and b) look like traitors.

But consider this: what if all the Dems walk, and as soon as they are out of the room, the GOP votes through an amendment on something else that the Dems want, and defeat that, and something else? I mean, if we are playing parliamentary games here, there have to be little tricks that we can use to just SCREW these guys.

It will be covered live on C-SPAN. Congress is in a recess and will resume shortly to vote. C-SPAN is showing the Q&A with Col James Brown from earlier today till then.

Maybe they're busy slipping a bill in to ban CSPAN before they get to this vote.

The Dims must be putting pressure on Murtha somehow.

Maybe they are pushing for an investigation. See post 1968

Republican lawmakers say that ties between Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) and his brother's lobbying firm, KSA Consulting, may warrant investigation by the House ethics committee...

According to a June 13 article in The Los Angeles Times, the fiscal 2005 defense appropriations bill included more than $20 million in funding for at least 10 companies for whom KSA lobbied. Carmen Scialabba, a longtime Murtha aide, works at KSA as well.

KSA directly lobbied Murtha's office on behalf of seven companies, and a Murtha aide told a defense contractor that it should retain KSA to represent it, according to the LA Times.

In early 2004, Murtha reportedly leaned on U.S. Navy officials to sign a contract to transfer the Hunters Point Shipyard to the city of San Francisco, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. A company called Lennar Inc. had right to the land, and Laurence Pelosi, nephew to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was an executive with the firm at that time.

Will the Dems beat a hasty retreat, no show for vote?

"Non-victory" is the same strategy that Murtha is advocating for Iraq. He must still be thinking that it's 1975 and we're in Vietnam.

Hey Wolfie....My congress critter is Ellen Tauscher...not much difference.

You're right. Most of the CA Dem congress critters are interchangeable. All except Maxine Waters. She's in a class all her own.

(I still think the WMDs are hidden in Syria)

I've always thought that they were moved. GW did, after all, give plenty of advance warning to Saddam. What moron in his right mind would keep damning evidence around him?

Murtha voted for the draft last year. He's a moonbat.

So far the mob has pecan squares, brownies, fudge, and JD. I hope someone volunteers to bring some sweatpants. We are going to need them! ;-)
