Murtha Fell off His Grandstand Dems Followed

Published:

Updated:

Hghest accolades to the Repubs for backing treasonous Dems to the wall.
Follow events.... every time Dems speak against our Iraq involvement to the media ..... terrorists worldwide are emboldened and encouraged ..... more soldiers die.   
Had they expressed dissent within the walls of congress rather than grandstanding through the media, how many soldiers lives would have been spared?????  Plenty.
When the going got tough those who don't have the substance to lead or govern ..... followed those who've lead all along.

"Lawmakers Reject Immediate Iraq Withdrawal
Nov 19, 7:56 AM (ET)

By LIZ SIDOTI

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Republican-controlled House spurned calls for an immediate pullout of troops from Iraq in a vote hastily arranged by the GOP that Democrats vociferously denounced as politically motivated.

"To cut and run would invite terrorism into our backyards, and no one wants to see troops fighting terrorism on American soil," Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said Friday night after the House, as planned, rejected a GOP-written resolution for immediate withdrawal.

The vote, held as lawmakers rushed toward a two-week Thanksgiving break, was 403-3.

Democrats accused Republicans of orchestrating a political stunt that prohibited thoughtful debate on the issue, and nearly all voted against the measure.

That included Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, the Democratic hawk whose call Thursday for pulling out troops set off a nasty, personal debate over the war.
