GOP Pulls Fast One... Tells Dems: Pull Troops Now? Okay, then let's vote!!!!! Tonight. 7 p.m. in House... Ultimate showdown...
Nope - won't waste the bandwidth. He's not about to read anything that he doesn't agree with.
TYVM. I like spending my 2 cents worth from time to time.
Many aren't in town. Shadegg, for ex, is a solid conservative from AZ.
He's doing a great job.
Rep Curt Weldon - I never voted for dates of withdrawal from Bosnia and here 10 years later we will still have troops in Bosnia.
Choice Votes Percentage of 1922 Votes
Yes 1070 56%
No 852 44%
Weldon is up now!
ROFL!
They'll drop him like they do everyone when their usefullness is finished.
Okay - I had to come back for this. So Weldon is defending Murtha? I'm in an alternate universe.
Can you or someone explain this to me: Are dems and the GOP saying that what Murtha said,or certainly what I thought I heard him say, was'nt what he said? Did'nt he say that our troops should pull out immediately? I know that he said later at a press conference that it might take 6 months .Are dems trying to spin this as immediately means STAT when I think most people would agree immediately does'nt mean this minute, but yes, immediately means let's get started NOW and the goal is all troops will be home in 6 months?
Did anyone bother to quote what Murtha said? Oh, I guess quoting him, might be a "personal attack" Again, why can't
atleast the majority of the GOP simply state that Mertha's plan is wrong for our troops and our country and the Iraqi people. Why can't they just say that Murtha is insulting our men and women in uniform TODAY. Then continue to elaborate on the Dems undermining of the War by total distortions and lies.
Or how about a few of the Rep. remindng the dems that this isn't the first time he's said to get out of Iraq and that he even voted for the draft. What would the hippies in San Fran think of his voting for the draft?
I still think they could be alot tougher. Yet i'm happy they have atleast done this
What was with the "message from the Senate" ladies bringing news about Rosa Parks in the middle of this debate? Gee..
Or perhaps someone could have done a one minute speech about how Murtha is under alot of stress due to his sons drug habit and that they all wish his son's recovery. I mean show some compassion for the guy !!
I would not be a compassionate politician; I could never get elected unless I were a lefty

He's doing GREAT!
ABOUT TIME SOMEONE MENTIONED HOW LONG WE HAVE BEEN IN OTHER PLACES!
WOOOO HOOOO!!
People have been saying that the RATS will try and weasel out of voting. How would this happen?
Lantos is a former holocaust survivor.
I am so very sorry about your mother.
Just me maybe but I suspect that the illness is more profitable to the medical industry than the cure would ever be.......just my thoughts of course.
Doom on em all if true.......
Tell yer neighbor to FIGHT !
They told my Dad the same thing and he told the young Doctor he'd live to piss on his grave (Dad was if anythinga people person :o)........
Give the lady all the support ya can even if it's just a small 5 dollar plant delivered when she home and hurting.....make her smile, lots of support if at all possible.
Stay Safe .....
Weldon on the Murtha loveathon train...
