Comments on: Questions About Murtha Contract Awards

CBS Evening News: FBI Investigating Defense Firms- And Murtha Donors - In Rep.'s Hometown

[erichsh]

The paucity of comments by the liberals here is almost overshadowed by their ridiculous attempt to steer their inflammatory comments to (who else?) Bush. But in the meantime where has CBS et. al. been with this story? I guess they (choke - gag) HAVE to finally say something because one of their heroes' shenanigans is finally about to be busted wide open by the FBI.

"The republicans are still pi$$ed they lost and Murtha has no more earmarks going to constiuents than any other congressman seated."

I am a Democrat, but even I know that he has millions more than any other member of the house except Nancy P....This is the guy that was filmed in a sting. He didn't swallow the bait, but said "maybe some other time." He didn't report anything. This is the guy that accused innocent servicemen of being rapists and murderers. This is the guy that uses extortion to get what he wants from the military and brags about it. PLEASE check your facts. This guy is no friend of the Democratic Party, he's a time bomb.

OBiden, are you referring to the illegal war in Iraq that Obama has EXTENDED, or are you referring to the illegal war in Afghanistan that Obama has EXPANDED?

Hey, are you referring to the illegal war in Iraq that Obama has extended? Or is it the illegal war in Afghanistan that Obama has expanded?

When they bring these members of Congress up on charges they are all afraid where the discovery process leads just as they were with Bush/Cheney and the neo cons and 9-11 and Iraq. They all have an attitude of better left under the covers than risk involving more of them.

Couldn't happen to a better guy! Everyone has known this guy was crooked from day 1. Bye,Bye, John.

I am a dem and crooks are crooks! Run them out of office if they are crooked! Unfortunatly the fact is that people are elected so that they "help" their area, state and industries. No one party has imminity from this fact.

Look at the Great Lakes. The Coast Guard has cleared ice for over 50 years at a cost of billions of dollars cost. All this for Great Lakes industry shipping. Oil Co's have received tax breaks for decades even though they are obscenely profitable. Aitlines have been given handouts. Pharmacy Co's have been given exclusive Gov contracts. NAFTA benefited the Car Co's that opened plants in Mexico. The list goes on and on. Representatives are fighting for projects that benefit their constituents. This is pretty much why they are elected.

Crooks are crooks and kick them out Dem or Repub. Period!

incog- we who think honesty in politics is needed will not stop 'whining'. You criticized Republicans for their corruption and no we will keep on it until the corrupt Dems are run out of Congress. Frank, Dodd, Rangel, Murtha are all committee chairs. How big do you think the outcry would be if they were Republicans. You can't excuse Democrats for ethics charges. Waters is a powerful members who obtained bailout for a bank that wouldn;t have qualified but her husband worked for it and had an interest in it. So sorry we will continue to point out ethics problems with the Dems until that party or the JUstice dept does something about it. It is not whining to want justice.
