The Democrats Can Win Only If America Loses (about Murtha)

The Democrats can win only if America loses

Thursday, March 23, 2006

It would seem that John Murtha's Kennedy-sponsored Profiles in Courage Award has gone unnoticed.

With the lack of hoopla over this honor I am obliged to add comment. I feel this award is as fitting as the Nobel Peace Prize was to ex-President Jimmy Carter, and considering both sources not surprising.

Carter has advanced peace by his instrumental work in the Korean agreement that gave North Korea time to obtain nuclear weapons. From Fidel and Chavez to the terrorist Hamas there has not been an anti-American or pro-Communist organization he has not supported. Thanks Jimmy.

As for the ludicrous award our own John Murtha has earned, let's be clear about the motives. He along with his fellow Democrats knows that the news from Iraq is not good. That is not to say that good news does not exist, but good news is not reported. The war can be lost right here at home with a helpful media, and it is incumbent that America lose in order for Democrats to win an election.

Demoralize the American public, with each enemy attack yell out for surrender. "Redeployment" equals surrender, equals lose a winnable war. Each time the enemy who is watching hears the likes of John Murtha say we can't afford to lose one more soldier they are emboldened to kill more soldiers. Not that this is a concern of Murtha -- after all there is an election to win.

John Murtha is not alone in this as the Democratic Party by a majority is invested and active in losing this war, with the notion that all can be righted after they are empowered. Murtha's dream chairmanship of the Armed Services Committee will never be obtained unless Nancy Pelosi becomes speaker of the House, so you can bet the deal had been struck and, like a good foot soldier, Murtha is doing his best to undermine America in effort to hurt the incumbent party.

The true Profile in Courage award should be bestowed on Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman who has actually gone to Iraq and reported the good news that does exist. Lieberman has enough political savvy to know that he would lose all party support and face a likely loss of his seat in the primary because he dared put his country's interest and truth above political gain.

America should reward Lieberman as a true Profile in Courage for speaking a truth against his own political interest, and we in Western Pennsylvania should retire our enemy's friend, Jack Murtha.

When Diana Irey wins the election and sends Murtha packing, the Dems will have lost!

The truly ironic point is that Joe Lieberman could win the Presidency if he were the Democrat nominee. However, the Democrat party has been taken over by the left wing raving lunatics and they would never nominate Joe Lieberman.

"Democrats Can Win Only If America Loses"

Bumper sticker?

Seriously, the Democrats empower our enemies to keep up the pressure because they see a chance of us folding up our tents and going home. The MSM empowers them also. Wonder how many young soldiers we have lost because of these people.

Good post.

Democrats and terrorists both lose.

Freedom-loving Americans look to and plan for the future, thanks to the armed services, their families and friends, and 70+ million voters and their families and friends.

Murtha should resign. Any old fart who has the nerve to say that our ARMY is broken is obviously off his rocker. I would like to know who the DOD people are who are briefing him on how terrible our troops are doing. This entire Intel group he claims to have is a figment of his very old imagination. Time for old John to throw on the feedbag and walk on out to the pasture.

I was born and spent my childhood in Washington and then, in the 1940's, my mother was close friends with the editor of this newspaper. I've since moved many times and have only one livng relative in that area, but still, it's good to know the place hasn't turned to mush.

I agree with what you say, but I am always very disgusted when people bring up Lieberman like he's some kind of saint, or a man of conscience (not that you have done that, really).

That sonovab*tch Lieberman threw his lot and soul in with the Evil Bill Clinton for the 2000 election. He did it purposefully, trying his best to continue that legacy of evil by kneeling to Bill Clinton and sucking his teensy little ****, just like Monica Lewinski herself!

Lieberman will NEVER regain his soul or credibility in my eyes, or get any sympathy or respect from me. EVER! He is a despicable Clinton b*tch, and guess what? Ya can't un-suck that thing, Joe, so may you enjoy your legacy forever!

We've got our share of moonbats around here, but there's an upturn in the local economy, and good jobs are coming back so the conservatives are slowly gaining ground.President Bush carried my borough in 2004.

Thanks for recognizing I am not putting him up for sainthood. My comment was more about the depths to which the DemonicRat party has sunk to.

That's good to hear.

I lived 2 doors down from the Washington Hospital (Locust and Wilson).

What borough are you in?

East Maiden Avenue used to be really beautiful with large mansions, big trees and a wide street. Is it like that now?

We've lived around here about ten years.The homes are still beautiful,and well cared for. I've heard stories about the trees.

Apparently some time ago, I'm not clear exactly, but I believe it was the 70's, some kind of elm disease got to the trees that lined the steet and the borough had to cut them all down.

But all the yards still have large beautiful trees, and lawns are lush. There's great soil here, and in the summer my wife grows some of the best tomatoes to be found anywhere.
