Rumored ex-Marine John Murtha, Democrat congressman from Pennsylvania, has become the darling of the cut-and-run crowd for trying to place absurd restrictions on our troops, amounting to withdrawal from Iraq. Were Arab sheiks whispering into his ear?
In case you missed the video on "I Love the '80s," Rep. Murtha was caught on tape negotiating bribes with Arab sheiks during the FBI's Abscam investigation in 1980. The Abscam investigation was conducted by Jimmy Carter's Justice Department, not right-wing Republicans.
On tape, Murtha told the undercover FBI agent: "When I make a f***in' deal I want to make sure that I know exactly what I'm doing and ... what I'm sayin' is, a few investments in my district ..."
It is a profound and shocking fact that Murtha even showed up at this meeting, knowing he was going to be negotiating bribe money with Arabs.
Murtha added that he wanted the investment in his district to look like it was done "legitimately ... when I say legitimately, I'm talking about so these bastards up here can't say to me ... 'Jesus Christ, ah, this happened,' then he (someone else), in order to get immunity so he doesn't go to jail, he starts talking and fingering people and then the son of a bitch all falls apart."

ohhhh...I agree with AC and said so in my first post.
it was only a "matter of record" about the "ex-Marine"
and me being a Marine, I would love to be the first to knock Murtha on his fat arse for what he has said about the troops.

I'm with you! Check my tagline!
You would think, maybe I am naive, that a scumbag of this magnitude would want to stay under the radar. He makes Jimmy Hoffa look clean for petes sake.
Yes, you are! I appreciate it...:)
Venal hack John Murtha was willing to sell his country's interests to Arab sheiks.
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.
Ain't no "maybe" about it...

We'll both have to look elsewhere for a fight! :-)
I am both a Marine and a redleg dogface. I don't know of a single Marine who is anything but ashamed and disgusted by this old creep.

A vote or the Democrats is a vote for the Islamo-crats..
