From HuffPo, my contribution to the discussion:

“His passion for the troops cannot be questioned.”

I question it. Without waiting for a field investigation, an Article 32 investigation, or the result of courts-martial, this sanctimonious boob took it on himself to brand these Marines murderers, claiming from his pedestal of political ignorance that they panicked. The initial investigation, driven by political pressure, is what caused the initial charges to be filed against the Marines. In the Article 32 investigations (the military equivalent to a Grand Jury) the government provides it’s evidence that a crime has been committed by the service member, and the defense is given the opportunity to rebut that evidence. In most cases of the Haditha Marines, there was either insufficient or no evidence of any wrongdoing, and the charges were dropped. In the cases that have gone to trial, the courts-martial have found them not guilty, with one of the military judges expressing his disgust at the fact that the Marine was charged at all.

Yes, I have much more faith in the military’s justice system than the civilian courts.

As for Murtha, he has not apologized. He has been confronted by the father of an acquitted Marine and blathered, rather than apologize. His unspeakable hypocrisy of claiming to support the military while demonizing members of what was his own service for political expediency alone, in my mind, disqualifies him from serving as a member of the House of Representatives.

Whatever the outcome of the elections, someone should donate Barney Frank and Murtha some teeth.

They both have mouths like Granpa Simpson’s.

NOT purty.

Even if Murtha loses I am afraid OB will appoint him to his administration such as his Secretary of Defense or Secretary of State. Then everyone would have a belly full of this prideful man.

It’s time for Murtha to declare defeat, only this time rather than disparaging our military, he can admit he has been beaten by the enemy, except his enemy is actually the good guy for the majority of Americans.

Who in their right mind would vote a man like Murtha? I mean really, he called his own voters racists. If Murtha gets re-elected then I give up, there is no more common sense in America.

What I am amazed about in this election is how common sense seems so absent amongst the people and the Repubs…have people come to believe that one-party rule by an unpopular democratically-controlled congress is going to make things better??

Just donated again to West and Russell..I kinda wonder in the afternmath of this election if we conservatives are going to be wholly responsible for funding conservative candidates..it seems to me the Repubs have no problem ignoring opportunities for victory.

I hope Tom Cole gets sacked after tyhe election.
