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.

Rush was being very sarcastic in his endorsement. He was wanting Murtha as a target.

Spendy Horror is actually pretty strong on defense.

Ya, on procuring defense contracts for friends and family to enrich his and their bank accounts.

Because he is a raving nutbag moonbat who is highly corrupt.

But, but...there's plenty of those, like, uh...Nancy.

Plus, I truly doubt that Murtha will go quietly into the good night...and the Troops do not need that bastard given additional power.

"This is politically good for House Democrats, and politically bad for the House GOP. The Democratic caucus was damn smart on this"

yep, too bad the GOP leadership is so inept at political skills. When they had the chance to choose a New RNC Chairman, who do we get? Martinez (who looks like a blatant attempt to pander to the Hispanic voters) God forbid those weenies choose a dynamic, strong Black candidate like Michael Steele. Then to add insult to injury, the same buffoons who gave us Denny Hastert & Bill Frist, go back to the crypt & raise Trent Lott from the dead..(fair or not, Lott has the racial baggage) ..
With masterminds like this, No wonder the Democrats just won with No agenda No Plan and No Class. (sigh)

I thought Rush was endorsing Murtha just for the fun of watching the implosion. Did I miss something?

In that case I hope he smashes the little twit to pieces...

Perhaps he'll stumble upon the hammer Tom Delay left behind. ;^)

The conservative agenda was gettng toooo close for the elites. The corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" neede a slow down. Just think, GW would have to nominate a conservative to the SC if someone died or resigned & that just might tip it. That's baaaaad for all of us but good to the elites. The (R)s will not win an election with McLame or Rudy. The media will cover for the Hildabeast & you will have the SC full of the biggest leftist imaginable. Get your prayer rugs with an order of tacos & hope that universal health care card reaches you before your malady.

It would have been best if brain dead Murtha had won. He is less capable of doing damage to the country, and would have crippled the Democrats plans for destroying the economy.

With Hoyer in charge, Democrats plans for destroying the economy will be in a better postion for success. Hoyer will be a better leader at destroying the presidents tools for fighting AlQaida.

So yes, Murtha was the better candidate for our country.
Hoyers odds for success are much better, and will put us in more danger.

These days we gotta take our schadenfreude wherever we can get it.

First objective of Pelosi will be to destroy the economy.

Dems did this back in 1990, and with help from the MSM put the blame on Bush Senior. You can bet your butt they are planning to kick in a recession to get a Dem in the white house. All economy chips fall in the presidents basket, like it or not.

Dems do not give a damm that Americans will suffer, as thats what they are there for, to ease the suffering by handing out cash. Someone elses hard earned cash.

Any failure of the house leadership run by Pelosi is a WIN for the United States, IPSO FACTO.
