Iraq GOP Showdown Aftermath Links
Memeorandum and Others ^ | 11-19-2005 | Aliveritas

Posted on 11/19/2005 7:17:40 AM PST by AliVeritas

Here's some of the feedback after the House GOP showdown. The MSM is spinning it full speed as the opposite instead of a vote for all representatives to stand on what they believed.

The question was "Do you put yourself on record as wanting immediate withdrawal of our troops?". After years of political anti-war statements by democrats, we saw they were spineless to vote their convictions... so it's spun as a republican stunt instead of the chance for democrats to vote what they truly believe.

And the rats shutting down the senate for a closed hearing over a non issue was hailed by the LMSM as a great rat victory.

Not too late, only one pubbie with intestinal fortitude in the debating society can raise havoc there. Put the rats on record, make'em squirm.

GOP Lawmakers Float Ethics Probe of Murtha
http://www.rollcall.com/issues/1_1/breakingnews/11329-1.html

Now at least I get the Pelosi link:

Comments from NRO
Republican lawmakers say that ties between Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) and his brother's lobbying firm, KSA Consulting, may warrant investigation by the House ethics committee...

According to a June 13 article in The Los Angeles Times, the fiscal 2005 defense appropriations bill included more than $20 million in funding for at least 10 companies for whom KSA lobbied. Carmen Scialabba, a longtime Murtha aide, works at KSA as well.

KSA directly lobbied Murtha's office on behalf of seven companies, and a Murtha aide told a defense contractor that it should retain KSA to represent it, according to the LA Times.

In early 2004, Murtha reportedly leaned on U.S. Navy officials to sign a contract to transfer the Hunters Point Shipyard to the city of San Francisco, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. A company called Lennar Inc. had right to the land, and Laurence Pelosi, nephew to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was an executive with the firm at that time.

Murtha also inserted earmarks in defense bills that steered millions of dollars in federal research funds toward companies owned by children of fellow Pennsylvania Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D). ..
