Comments on: Murtha's Defense Earmarks Draw Questions

CBS Evening News: FBI Investigates Those Close To Powerful Lawmaker

[Chard402003]

Murtha is a crook. He took a deal to get out of Abscam (probably ratting out others), he's taking my tax dollars to his district and contributors to use as pork, and he's a traitor. I hope those brave Marines sue his butt into oblivion. Oh, and yes, he's part of the "most ethical Congress ever" run by DEMOCRATS.

Nice try, Russ. There are also "heads" of minority caucuses, committees and other groups unrelated to the Democrat party.

And your post makes the gigantic leap that the people of this country are mildly informed. The fact that this empty suit, radical, extremist marxist got elected on the basis of packaging and marketing makes it abundantly clear that they are not -- particularly the youth vote.

Throw in the fact that the country has put a freak show in charge of Congress (Frank, Schumer, Pelosi, Reid, Rangel, Kennedy, Byrd, et al) and it's pretty obvious the voters are rather uninformed. Truth is, Saul Alinsky-in-chief and his merry band of Bolsheviks currently in the process of wrecking the country have COUNTED on that fact, and want to keep it that way.

And let's be honest -- if this were a Republican, that fact would be noted in the headline, rather than going totally unmentioned. This is not unusual -- this is standard fare for the corrupt leftist media.

And yet no answer from the voters in MURTHA's district. Do you all understand . Being corrupt is always someone elses congressman not mine . this is our problemm. We have a corrupt adminiunstration on Washington and when confronted the answer is ALWAYS . Not my person {OBAMA<PELOSI>GEITNER<REID< }} The fault is bush and his govt . so we can be as corrupt as we want to be since you fools voted for US >>

IT IS TIME TO DRAIN THE POND.

Excuse me, but can someone at See BS explain why Murtha is not identified as a Democrat?

Or is this yet another episode of the media playing "Name That Party"?

If someone is identified as the ?head of a committee? it is implied that the person belongs to the party in power. The Democrats have controlled both chambers since the elections in 2006.

It appears the media is finally targeting this dirt bag. After ignoring his flagarant disrespect for the military and the many complaints from Veteran's groups, they finally have zeroed in on him. They realize his time is numbered and will be out of office soon, so they are jumping on to a bandwagon they can support (anti-defense contractor - hate the military also). They would never say anything negative about him while he was trashing the military. Now, when they see he is weak, they are now positioning themselves so they can say, "see, we agree with you."
I have seen this many, many times before. If you think ABC is supporting you now, they are only looking out for their own goals of destroying the military and this great nation.

This common criminal has hidden behind his uniform long enough. Would someone in the political arena with some testicular fortitude call this guy to the mat on his treasonous accusations towards the military and his criminal behavior so lightly touched upon in this article? FYI Sharyl, MURTHA IS A DEMOCRAT.
