Polipundit ^ | Nov. 16, 2006 | Michael Sparxx

BREAKING NEWS:

Conservatives with Attitude! insiders are informing us that Congressman John Murtha will DROP OUT of the running for the number 2 spot in the House as Majority Leader.

Even if he does stay in the race, he will fall short by a few votes.

This will serve as a big blow to Nancy Pelosi.

Deal - or no deal Jack. If you refuse the offer, you will have to choose another case to open.

Forget Hastings. RATS aren't that stupid, either.

"...surprise!, surprise! ... regardless of what they call it, DemocRATS will be "staying the course" much to the surprise of the clueless dufus' who voted for them because they promised to "get us out of Iraq". Hahahaha

Does anyone think Hillary isn't aware of this scenerio?:

"...Pulling out will endanger the Kurds, Iraqi reformers, the sanctity of U.S. pledges abroad, and the reputation of the American military for generations. It would be hard to believe Democrats want to someday read, as we do now of Vietnam, that we were close to stabilizing Iraq when the funding to do so was cut off. ..."

She will never allow the rest of the RATS to hang that baggage around her neck - sinking her like a stone for sure for the 2008 general election.

Ok, so, here's my question.

I know enough about Murtha to know he was a corrupt slimebag idiot, what with his Abscam scandal and his ridiculous "redeploy to Okinawa" drivel. Really is a shame he didn't get the spot.

I know next to nothing about Hoyer. What's he like? More of an actual moderate, or an almost-but-not-quite-as-hard leftie as Murtha? Sane or Howard Deanish? What are we in for?

Nancy is deeply saddened and it's some consolation that Murthawi the corrupt didn't get the position.

If the enemedia and pundits would have given the attention to Murthawi's corruptness and unethical behavior before the election that they did for this vote, Diana would be a Congresswoman now.

Sorry, I'd rather win than prove a point. It may set us back politically, but it helps the country win...and that is good news for the folks on the ground in the WOT.

YEAH!

A sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet slap down of Pelosi. It will be fun watching the donks not being able to lead and tear each other apart. This will only illuminate the differences between our two parties and most will not like what they see in the donks, the true party of jackasses.
