Murtha, please be on TV every weekend until November, you'll elect more Republians this way.

[Taxman]

And, lose your re-election bid!

[A Troop 1-14 Cav]

We need (well we don't "need") Murtha-fu**er and Dean on every takl show possible between now and November.

Result? Repubs pick up 5 seats in the House and at least 2 in the Senate.

Rove's freedom to travel has been rather restricted of late.

[Rosemont]

Murtha is unstable.

If it's going to take men/women in uniform to shut this man up, someone please find said people to carry the message. I'm really growing tired of this "if you never served you can't make statements about the war" nonsense. Someone remind me of FDR and Clinton's service. When the men in uniform, serving NOW not 30yrs ago, stand up this to this man, they are silenced by the MSM.

He's talking about making political statements, duh the guy is running for the dem party leadership as announced last week. Does anyone with a functional brain not realize he's doing exactly that himself!

This is precisely what Ann Coulter was talking about - untouchable vets, untouchable widows, etc.

Murtha's office is not air conditioned?

And he looks as if he probably has a pretty fat backside, too.

[small voice in the wilderness]

The White House lays the trap, Rove baits it, and Murtha starts sniffing it out. C'mon, just a little closer fool...

[jazusamo]

Hopefully Murtha will keep flapping his yap, It's helping Diana Irey.

Murtha's "big fat a**" sits on top of his shoulders.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Representative John P. Murtha, the Pennsylvania Democrat and Vietnam War veteran pushing for a quick withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, today mocked Karl Rove, the president's senior adviser, for championing the war while "sitting in his air-conditioned office on his big, fat backside."

LOL. John "cut 'n run" Murtha...keep it up, buddy. As progress is made in Iraq, you look even more foolish as time goes by.

[new yorker 77]

How can someone like Murtha, who looks like the afterbirth of a Manatee, call Rove big and fat?

[new yorker 77]

They say the camera adds about ten pounds. Exactly how many cameras are on Murtha?

[operation clinton cleanup]

He's making a political speech. He's sitting in his air-conditioned office on his big, fat backside

Glass houses! Rock throwing ping!

I would like to make some comments for those working to defeat Murtha in the 12th congressional district in PA.

First it is obvious that Nancy Pelosi got Murtha to carry tht "Surrender Now" water, because Murtha has one of the saftest seats in the house. Look at the shape of the 12th district. It is the most gerrymandered thing you can imagine. Plus it has a 2 to 1 Demoratic edge in registered voters. With moderates it has to be a 70 to 30 or better Democratic district.

Usually I argue against trying to defeat a Democrat where the odds are that long. It is usually a waste of time, money, and effort, but that is not the way I see this race.

Let us say that if Murtha is defeated by Diana Lynn Irey, the repercussions in the Democratic party would be beyond belief.

But what if Murtha instead of winning 72 to 28 wins 55 to 45. This is a district in which a Democrat should win by at least 70 to 30. A 55 to 45 result would prove that in a majority of districts Gerrymandered 54 to 46 to elect a Democrat, a Democrat taking Murtha's positions would lose big time. That would scare the stuffing out of 2/3 of the Democratic members of the house. If most Democrats lose 15 percent of their support they are history. And a 55 to 45 Murtha win in the 12th would prove that to a lot of Democrats. None of them would likely come with in 5 miles of Murtha. His influence on other Democrats would be, in effect, zero. His surrender now position would get far less than 59 votes in the house.

Murtha is taking the risk becuase if the "Bring the Troops Home" ploy fails he believes he will still hold his seat. But if he suceeds, he will be the big dog in the Democrat House. It is our job to see that he does not succeed.

What Murtha has to know is that if he wins by a much smaller margin than ususal, he will prove the Anti War ploy is a loser for Democrats.

In most districts there may be difficulty determining what cost a candidate votes. This fall it could be immigraion, the war, gas prices and in many districts local issues.

In the Pennsylvania 12th, the issue is Murtha's position of "Surrender Now and Avoid the Rush Later".

If it can be shown by the election returns that Murtha has cost himself a lot of support that will change the minds of a lot of Democrats.

It would be wonderful to defeat Murtha. But even if all Ivey can do is make it a fairly close contest, it will scare the crap out of a lot of Democrats. And even if the Democrats managed to take the house, not many would want to follow the Murtha plan for Iraq.

It is not likely the RNC will do much to help Ivey at this point. They are always structured to help those who have the best chance of winning. It will be up to us to help her make the race against Murtha competitive.

I do know this if the Ivey / Murtha race becomes competitive in the final weeks, the Republican party will be surprised and pleased.

Neither Republicans or Democrats do much of anything in 70 to 30 districts. Lets make this one an exception.

Our goal as Ivey supporters should be to do what every we can to help her become competitive. If that can be done, she will have all the help she needs.

John Murtha

Do you know this man? For years, many of us throughout Pennsylvania trusted John Murtha. We knew him and he looked out for our interests and our values. But that John Murtha is missing today. After 32 years in Washington, John Murtha has become part of the problem. To name just a few examples: John Murtha – Wrong on Congressional Pay Raises. Since 1995, John Murtha has voted 11 straight times in favor of raising his own pay. (CQ #648, #317, #435, #289, #300, #419, #267, #322, #463, #451, and #327) John Murtha – Wrong on Spending. John Murtha has voted multiple times to raid the social security trust fund – the key to your retirement – to pay for wasteful government spending projects. John Murtha – Wrong on Health Care. John Murtha has voted to actually make your health care more expensive. He even voted against tax-free health savings accounts. John Murtha – Wrong on National Defense. John Murtha actually voted to cut spending on our national security by $76 billion. Then, he voted in favor of instituting the draft! And, perhaps most stunning of all, John Murtha spoke out against the brave men and women who are defending our freedom by calling for an immediate withdrawl of our troops from Iraq.
