GOP Pulls Fast One... Tells Dems: Pull Troops Now? Okay, then let's vote!!!!! Tonight. 7 p.m. in House... Ultimate showdown...

[Liberty Valance]

So Congressman Burtha...how you gonna vote?

[MinuteGal]

Is Murtha leading up to some waterworks?

[Jrabbit]

He's saying our troops are wimps....I despise this man

[Howlin]

No prejudice there, eh?

[CharlesWayneCT]

OK, Hayworth reads from a REAL SOLDIER who blasts Murtha.

Democrats get confused over whose resolution it is, want to say THEY should get to close.

Again, he's giving stories about the FAMILIES of the soldiers.

WHY doesn't Murtha has a SINGLE LETTER from a real soldier who supports his call.

Isn't that strange. Certainly SOME soldiers support him.

Murtha's taking quotes from MENTAL PATIENTS?

[RobFromGa]

I doubt if the insurgents find Murtha boring.

[goodnesswins]

There's LOTS of Baby Boomers posting here tonight, I wager....

From Al Jazeera: Rep. John Murtha, an influential House Democrat who once voted for invading Iraq called Thursday for immediately pulling out American troops from the country, a move described by analysts as another sign of growing unease in Congress about the war http://www.aljazeera.com/cgi-bin/news_service/middle_east_full_story.asp?service_id=10108

[queenkathy]

huh?

[nopardons]

Absolutely! This whole thing is a farce!

[Itzlzha]

...Having said that, I do so hope this little civics lesson that we have been treated to serves to show the total impotence of the congress, and the uselessness of all the members on both sides of the aisle. These people are feeding off the short memories and general stupidity of the American public. What should have been a glorious moment for the majority in the house, has turned into just one more exercise in blather.

<------ (nods head in agreement and approval)...

I am sick and tired of these elites, these holier-than-thou, pompous bastards running our lives, and I can't imagine that our fates and that of our country can be so casually turned over to people so utterly out of touch with common, ordinary folks. That the Dems are stupid and traitorous is not the point. What we need to take from this, tonight, is that we are in deep, deep doodoo if this nothingness is allowed to continue unchecked.

<------(stands up and applauds vociferously!)

This entire process has sickened me beyond my capacity to express it. Sadly, this is just typical of how OUR business is carried out, in OUR names, on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. All because we simply can't wait for the representative of our choice to show up in our district bearing the latest barrel of pork. For this we reward them with lifetime jobs, and are perfectly willing to overlook that it is OUR money they are giving away, and that we, the little people, pale in comparison in importance to their real friends; the lobbyists and big-business, and union higher-ups that line the pockets of these bastards when they finally, mercifully leave office.

I've had it with the lot. See my tagline.

Bravo!

Thank you for taking the Red pill!

Welcome to the REAL fight!

Don't let the "Party over Principle" crowd here lull you back to sleep...this is when ALL Patriots need to take to the ramparts and reclaim this Nation from the self-absorbed, the self-aggrandizing, and the power mad elites that screw us over in our own name!

Murtha went to the Ti[p O'Neill school of plitics. He is really repeating what he said at yesterday's press conference. I am waiting for his story about giving his own PH to a marine who was injured in a non-hostile fire event.

[Political Junkie Too]

What's he saying, that people get hurt in war so we should pull out?

-PJ

[Windcatcher]

Murtha: "It's just TOOOOO HAAAAARD! BRING THEM HOME!"

I can only thank God that the likes of this guy weren't around when we were in BASTOGNE.

[Mayflower Sister]

I'm sorry. This man is a TRAITOR. Bill Clinton is a TRAITOR.

[Howlin]

LOL!

[Danae]

Vote already!!!

[right-wingin_It]

Murtha is repeating the same personal stories over like a broken record player

[tirednvirginia]

What is the point to all Murtha's stories about the wounded.
