2008 Strategy: MURTHA
Various | Today | Self

Posted on 09/23/2007 8:50:38 AM PDT by enough_idiocy

The Dems won in 2006 by leading a relentless attack on Bush and Republicans. They fostered an impression in the public’s mind that Republicans were corrupt, hypocritical, liars with no plan for Iraq. To win in 2008, Republicans MUST expose who the Democrats really are – corrupt, hypocritical, lying, traitors (not all dems are of course, but their leadership is) with no viable plans for Iraq, the WOT, illegal immigration, or domestic issues like ballooning entitlements. There is no better target to demonstrate this than John Murtha. MURTHA IS THE EPITOME OF WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE DNC AND WHY THE GOP MUST WIN IN 2008. He takes money from radical wackos that support the enemy, will say anything to assure America’s defeat, including slander our soldiers. He takes money from people and does their bidding at great costs to America monetarily and in terms of security.


TOPICS: Government; Politics/Elections; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS:
lights and microscopes must be on Congress’ worst member – John Murtha.

He is currently embroiled in various unethical scandals: Haditha defamation; ties to a charity under investigation, war profiting (brother’s contracts), earmarks (duplicative, wasteful agency), earmarks given to political bakers (there’s a long money trail between his earmarks and donations); violations of ethical rules; lying about Iraq; calling petraeus a political hack and the soldiers liars; breaking campaign pledges; clueless about Iraq/Terrorism; his ridiculous “plans” for Iraq that included sending our bombers to Okinawa, saying the US is worse than Iran/North Korea; ties to the radical wackos and insurgent supporters Code Pink; threatening colleagues and the pentagon; and various lies.

The lights need to shine on all of Congress. We are at war yet they have no plans to pay for it. We have not raised our taxes or even had war bonds to pay for this war. We will break this country and to be honest, I think that’s what Congress wants. We need to pay for this war, re-evaluate exactly what’s it’s costing, including private contractors that we are paying for that we never hear about from Congress.

Why would Congress want to break this country? Think NAU, think Amero. This will be their excuse to go this route. “To save our country financially.”

Exposing corrupt Liberals only takes gonads. For the past seven years, the GOP leadership has shown that they have no spine and no gonads. Case closed.

I’m sure the MSM will be all over this... Right after the next election.

Filthy corrupt politicians are under the special protection of the MSM, as long as they can be counted on to espouse the proper Liberal blather when called on to.

The MEDIA is the real war.
