#1 That whirring sound you hear in the east is JFK spinning in his grave.

Gotta figure out how we can hook up a dynamo....

#5 Anyone who wants to read some real "Profiles in Courage" should pick up a copy of Home of the Brave by Casper Weinberger. Reading it is a humbling experience.

#6 Murtha is a pig.

He claims that things are worse in Iraq now than under Saddam. I suppose that's because he never had the joy of watching family members killed by wood chipper, or nerve agent, or mass grave.

Then his claim is supported by comparisons of crude oil production under Saddam and post-Saddam. That tells us exactly what the war was about.

Or these Saddam supporters love to make comparisons of electricity availablity, but there is rarely a discussion of the fact that the Ba'ath NEVER improved or expanded the electrical grid. There is never a discussion about how outdated the system is. Same thing for water sanitation.

It's really too bad that his entire family was not murdered by the Ba'ath. Maybe then he'd get it.

#7 This shows how far the Democratic party as fallen.

Kind of sad in a way.

#9 ...Actually, it's only fitting: Some years back, it was pretty much determined that Ted Sorenson wrote 'Profiles' and JFK just put his name on it. A phony award for a fraud of a congressman.

#10 Gawd this is depressing. This joker can't even find his way home and more than likely thinks we are still in Viet-Nam. JFK must really be feeling the shame.

#11 Iff IRAN-CONTRA = GWOT, Murtha = Ollie North??? save in reverse??? Notice that Danny Ortega is running for office again, and arguing that Nicaragua should keep all or most of its Soviet RPG's and SA anti air missles.

#12 Well you never have to worry about Teddy winning one. He will show up for the party however.
My early pick for next year? He nominates his kid.

#14 Murtha has an opponent this Fall, Diana Irey. Here's what she wrote me:
Thank you for your pro-American views of life. We face many serious challenges with the war on terror and trying to win the hearts and minds of millions of Muslims around the world through the concept of freedom. Little by little we gain support.

Unfortunately Mr. Murtha would rather publicly humiliate our men and women who serve our great country in the US Military than to afford them their constitutional right of due process.(I am referring to his last attack where he called our Marines “Cold Blooded Killers of innocent Iraqi citizens”) His continued attacks on our government, our military and our military leaders are shameful and can no longer go unchallenged. He needs to apologize to our men and women in uniform as well as to their families.

I plan to extend to Mr. Murtha what he is unwilling to grant our brave men and women who serve and that is due process. Mr. Murtha will learn first hand how due process works in America when his Pennsylvania 12th District sends him home (for good) in the November election.

People say there is no way to defeat Murtha. We have polling data that shows he can be beat if our message gets out to the voters. That is why it is so important for good people such as you to support my effort by contributing to the campaign and spreading the word.

Thank you for contributing to this effort.

Diana
