Kerry defending Murtha on CSPAN2 now

really good so far...!!!

he's explaining how this administration will smear ANYONE regardless of political party. They're afraid......terrified about leveling with the American people about misleading them into war.

:hi:

But that it is the right policy. I think kerry's "phased withdraw" is quite different.

But the white house would rather play character assassination and swift boat people.

I am still waiting for support for the policy Murtha announced.

Maybe Kerry will say that some other time. <sigh>

for Kerry's 13-18mo plan?

Pick up on the vibe - Kerry and Murtha have a history of working together on military matters.


There's a current thread posted on their history.

against the vicious attacks, but, as you say, where's his agreement that the troops need to be brought home NOW.

How many times has Mr. Kerry gone to Iraq? Murtha's gone a lot, and he knows what he sees.

I'm not impressed with St. Kerry, I have to admit.

the congress.

Odd that Kerry waited 3 weeks AFTER he submitted his withdrawal plan to get airtime to discuss his plan, and then suddenly Murtha pops up that morning to throw out a vague 6mo plan.

However, their history shows that these two are strong allies who have worked together before on military matters.

I think they expected the swiftboating and planned for it.

I also think Murtha threw out his plan to force Republicans to move towards compromise on the 13-18mo senate plan.

The dems don't have to march in lockstep, but they do have to present a united front if they ever intend to whip the GOP machine.

The guy seems to take one step up and two steps down.

Read the transcript for Kerry when it goes up.

I miss would coulda been :cry:

"We can disagree without personal attacks...like attacking the character of Murtha"

whether or not he's carefully parsing his words for political purposes it's a very bad strategy - it was during the last campaign and it's a bad strategy now.

and it makes me enourmously sad and frustrated that Kerry is unable or unwilling to speak simple truth to power.

tell it straight, and tell it simply.

He is either unwilling or incapable of doing just that. I cannot sit by quietly this time while he plays word games, plays both ends of the debate against the middle in this way. This goes to the very heart of the same moral and ethical dilemma that we as a country faced during Viet Nam. Kerry's unwillingness to speak as he did to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971.

Where is that soul today?

of place on this thread. Kerry was clear, concise, and attacked the WH viciously in his defense of Murtha and on the WH Iraq policy.

Try reading the transcript.

He spoke eloquently, and was right on target. What a great speech!

I switched channnels when the repug came on and started spouting RW crap. Didn't want to lose my breakfast.

I hope this turns into a huge debate. I hope J Kerry plans to step in again.

now it apears the GOPs want to filibuster to shut down Dems.

Hah...they have no good defenses, so they shut out Dems wherever they can.

Tubes could have been used for centrifuge, they are trying to spin that they had testimony that said the tubes could be used for nuclear power. Giving #s of Dems who voted for the war, I really need to hear a dem say, "WE GOT DIFFERENT INFORMATION FROM THE PRESIDENT!!"

How fricking simple is that??????????????????????????????????

It's Kyl and Big Ears Sessions laying on the lies again. I don't know whether I hate Big Ears or Chicken Mouth Santorum more.

Unfortunately, few media reports deal with that discussion. But there was some spot reports on it - nothing consistent to hammer it home.

INTELLIGENCE. If we admit we were wrong then the war was wrong end of discussion bring the troops home.

What Bush has let people do as he ran was a sin. Man has no shame.:applause:

to PROVE that what another did was antiAmerican.
