GOP Pulls Fast One... Tells Dems: Pull Troops Now? Okay, then let's vote!!!!! Tonight. 7 p.m. in House... Ultimate showdown...
I just saw Murtha on Hardball and he was saying the GOP is just doing this to embarrass him. The GOP know perfectly well that my recommendations should go to a committee and have a debate and then vote. Many people have come up to me today and said they support everything I said but they just don't know if they are ready to vote for it at this particular time" I know i'm late to the party but I also just watched his news conference when he started to cry about a soldier who's mom asked him to get her son a purple heart (any relation to Kerry"?) He said that young man would get his purple heart or he would give him one of his. When a reporter stated that many of these soldiers support this effort in Iraq and do not want to leave...he said "well, what do you expect them to say? They care about their fellow soldiers, they don't want to admit how they really feel. We have to speak for them." Gee, where's Cindy? He is truly almost a poor a spokesperson as she was. I'm curious to know what mother was wanting the purple heart for her son. Is his story for real? I can't imagine him not receiving one if he deserved it? I would say the press was not that supportive of the guy...
I've thought all along, some vote should be taken and let the Dems show their cards.
Now, can we have a similar one in the Senate?
It's also funny to hear him described as a hawk when he said the same thing a year ago and voted for the draft. Now, let me get that straight, he needs to speak for our volunteer soldiers now,ye he wanted us to institute a draft so non-volunteer soldiers could suffer in Iraq? Let someone ask him these questions.
I respect his service but I don't respect him as a congressman. I wonder what kind of reaction he will receive now if he visits our wounded soldiers? Better yet, why does'nt he le t the cameras come in with him on his next visit?
You can tell I needed a safe place to vent!!! (i've already made the approprate phone calls and e-mails
You have a point. :)
LOL...LOL BUMP!
I feel really bad having to read the posts because I have C-Span muted. I can only take so much of the dem BS, I am on overload now.
Oh, listen: he want a FULBRIGHT type investigation just like they had on Vietnam!
Disgusting.
I hear ya morgan I keep falling behind too! Very fast thread. You are right on the money, they are to be held to account with a vote DOING THEIR JOB seems to be something they do not want to do. They are forced to do it right now and that is why they are so mad.
oder=odor
Well, we need to be vigilant. But I think they got their hackles up, and as Lee said at Gettysburg, "The boys 'r' up fer a fight."
What the retraction??
The modern democratic party is nothing but an outrageous party of treason.
If I have to see one more old Dem cry on the floor of Congress I think I will puke.
Fighting over rules. How much time, who gets to speak, blah, blah. That won't take long.
You mean our guys didn't go look at it either?
It been on Fox and CNN today. Its an old story. Those Senators that wished to see all the intel on Iraq before the second vote were welcome to view it. They had to sign in to a secure room. Six did. This came up last year as Kerry never read the stuff either.
"Bill Clinton is an insane egomaniacal traitor."
That is just plain worth a repeat!
What is the "Murtha proposition?"
Sorry to hear about TexasCowboy.
He has to be someone special.
RIP
I have this book ordered and plan on giving away for some key friends!!!
