This is great....seems like a no-win situation for the Dems: -- If they decide to support the troops by vote, then they'll be backtracking on their own rhetoric. -- If they vote (and the vote passes) to bring the troops home, and the Iraq situation implodes, they'll have no one to blame but themselves. Brilliant! They have to be in a disarray right about now!

Well said, precedence.

Does Murtha propose to withdraw U.S. troops (even though the new Iraqi government has asked us to stay) and leave the rest of the Coalition there? Hmmm? Or does he propose to tell the Coalition what to do? Clarify your motion, Mr. Murtha.

Call your Rep's and urge them which way to vote. Especially if you are in a dem district. Try Google and you can get their sites with contact info. At least everyone try and send an e-mail

I'm so done with the limp-wrists in Congress. This is all just part of the pantomime.

Nothing the GOP does at this point can excite me.

"I would do the same if I had a representative with more substance than a cloud of flatulence."

That is a really outstanding sentence. But if you think you have flatulence for a rep, try living in the Maryland. There is nothing on the face of the earth quite as silly and stupid as a Maryland liberal. Compared to our reps, flatulence looks like it has substence.

or they vote to pull them out -- in which case, if they win, forever become the reason for every bad thing that happens.

Except for that little fact that "things don't work that way"...it'd be forever tagged as a "Bush Administration" thing.

That's why I really did not want Gray Davis recalled here in California; he buttered his bread and he should have been the one to have to sleep in it. Now, this state's bankruptcy will be Arnold's fault by the media/'Rat reckoning.

Great idea, and we can look for the Dims and the MSM to call it a "stunt"...

I said that to my husband the minute this traitorous talk left Murtha's mouth.

I am very embarrassed that you would even consider pulling out of Iraq.

Zarqawi is expanding his base of operations and you, sir, would choose to cut and run. I will not. I have not seen two young men go off to fight this important war in vain. Your position is to represent all the people of your district, and you are not representing me or my family. There is a theorcratic regime on the march, colonizing, and trying to destroy Freedom. This regime knows no boundries and seaps into the pours of democratic countries.

Let me tell you what I fear and maybe you'll understand me better. I fear going into certain areas of Cleveland anymore. I will not go because, as a female, I am unwelcome. Did you pay attention when there was an Honor Killing right here in Cleveland? Did you pay attention when they found the radical imam right hear in Cleveland? Dennis, are you paying any attention to your own hometown? All of this is coming from a radical ME. WE were not in Iraq, Afghanastan etc. on 9/11.

We are in the right place to fight this crusade of Islam. Hussein was paying $25,000 to each Palistinian suicide bomber...that alone is supporting terrorism. Dennis. Please don't compromise my US freedom, we are fighting the good fight not only for us, but for the rest of the world.

The idea came from JD Hayworth of AZ in a caucus, and most all of them cheered...

Hayworth is about to be on Sean's show.....

They can call it a stunt but it is no less newsworthy than Murtha's comments yesterday.

Recall how many members used purple ink on their fingers in the State of the Union to show support for Iraqi voters. Others have worn other ribbons, etc. I think the GOP should get some pins or sticks that show a white flag with a big red X across it and says "No Surrender ot Terrorists" during the vote.

Agreed. Start rolling the cameras for the 2006 election commercials.

What if pulling out gets more votes?

Secession - it might work the second time around! The two new "countries" could be called the RED and the DEAD.
