Not sure how this one falls in the topics available to us for posting on our blogs.
For a long time John Murtha has gotten on my nerves. For years he's been anonymous in congress when suddenly he becomes a media star because he opposes Bush, the war, the troops and so on.
Recently he jumped to the podium to denounce the Marines who were brought up on charges at Haditha. In my America people are supposed to be innocent of crimes like these until proven guilty. And rightly so. Last week it was shown that the evidence had been tampered with to make the soldiers look guilty so that one of the defendants had charges dropped and the rest of the case was unraveling.
WHERE'S THE APOLOGY FROM MURTHA? If he were my representative, he would get faxes from me demanding he apologize for his remarks. But he was elected in a blue state and you know what they are all about. Ends justify the means. It's not about intellectual honesty.
Then we have EARMARKS. Remember that congress was going to get them done away with because Republicans were abusing them? Culture of corruption? RIGHT! Apparently Murtha is the king of earmarks. He has teamed up with this son and steered lots of money toward him to found companies that never come to fruition. If you want the details, sign up for Rush 24/7 and listed to Friday's show. I am not sure which hour it was in, but Roger Hedgecock was filling in and explained it on the show
