Give 'em Hell, John Murtha! ----pix->>>
Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 05:08 PM by Stephanie

QUESTION: Mr. Murtha, what do you say to Senator Lieberman whom yesterday said Democrats need to acknowledge that this president is commander in chief for three more years, that undermining his credibility...

MURTHA: Undermining his credibility? What has he said that would give him credibility?

He said there was Al Qaida connection. He said there was a connection with nuclear weapons. He said there's biological, chemical weapons there. He said there's progress now. I'm showing you that I don't see the kind of progress he sees.

I'll tell you what they're saying to me when they call. It's refreshing. We're seeing some honesty about this thing.

Now, I don't know that you could call them dishonest but it certainly is not -- the public is not buying it and they've changed their mind, I think, because they feel that they've been misled.

4. He reminds me of Tip O'Neill
The craggy face, white hair and take-no-bullshit demeanor. That's a good thing.

7. Yeah, you know, you're right!!!
And it's high time we had another Tip.

Another dozen or so Tips wouldn't hurt.

I wonder what Tip would say about Tweety, his old protege.

8. One thing that is turning the People against the Invasion of Iraq is
that ordinary people are beginning to understand the fact that we're talking about an absolute minimum BushCo wants is 10+ years and they are NOT KIDDING about Eternal War. Plenty of money for War, but nothing to take care of the least amongst us.

Cheney has deliverables he is being held accountable for by PNAC's patrons; he has to deliver those 14 Permanent Bases. BushCo will keep us there, or elsewhere, FOREVER.

Wars 'R' U.S.!!!

13. Best lines in the news conference were these
I got a lot of criticism. DeLay got up on the floor and said I was a traitor. What I said to him, publicly, I won't tell you.

23. "US troops will standdown when Iraqi troops standup" vs. 14 enduring bases
Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 05:12 PM by EVDebs
Don't forget that bit of legerdemain !

Lieberman's SOTU 'french kiss' by * erases ANY credibility either of these two ever had. Period.

28. John Murtha is a gift, a warrior, salt of the Earth, he defines candor.
John speaks with the credibility of the Warrior such as a George Washington, Smedly Butler, and (in a brief moment of parting candor) Dwight Eisenhower. The pukes better listen to him, there is a very good chance he is delivering a message from the Professional Warriors they claim to support. I don't care how conservative Mr. Murtha may be on other issues, on the issue of survival of the United States he speaks with authority.

My rant for the day. :rant:

29. Who would you trust to run your garage sale,
Lieberman or Murtha?

It's the question that answers all.
