MANCHESTER (AP) -- Carol Shea-Porter calls anti-war Congressman John Murtha "a profile in courage," but she stands all but alone among Democratic congressional hopefuls in the state.
Murtha, a former Marine, Vietnam veteran and strong supporter of the military in Congress, shocked the country last fall when he said the U.S. could do no more in Iraq and should withdraw. The Pennsylvania congressman plans to speak to Democrats in Hampton on Sunday.
The New Hampshire Union Leader asked New Hampshire's congressional candidates whether they agree with Murtha's call for prompt withdrawal.

Okay, so they found one bonehead Rat willing to support Murtha. And here's what the bonehead Rat she's running against has to say about the war:
Craig said he is not privy to enough military expertise and inside information to say whether he agrees with Murtha or not. Until he learns more, "I'm not saying that I agree with (Murtha), but I'm not saying that I don't," he said.
Craig deplored how politicized the war has become and called for a bipartisan effort to determine the best way ahead.
I start on this . . . where ??

Murtha's a treasonous rat who hides behind his veteran status. What was his vietnam service, 3 months behind a desk?
To: wouldntbprudent
Murtha gambled. Murtha lost. Now even his party shuns his presence.
