Celebrating the death of another human being is unseemly. You fellows go ahead and crow over his death if you want, but you can count me out.

Well, since Gov. Rendell was not in favor of the health care plan, I see this as a positive, or would, if he were appointing someone. Let’s hope Pennsylvania will second “the Scott heard round the world” and give us a common sense blue dog democrat at the very least and a good common sense conservative at best.

RIP Murtha...
Now....about that Congressional seat...
I won’t miss him. Traitor to his country, his people, and the Corps.
Just my .02

Please read the book “the Palace File”
You will learn of the last Congressional fact finding group, of which Murtha was a participant, sent to Vietnam to determine if we would should continue to provide funding for and armament support as we agreed in the Peace Agreement.
The Group came back and suggested against further funding. Shortly thereafter SVN was without funding and armaments and we witnessed the Fall of Saigon.

I think Nancy Pelosi will be crying for the next few days her man is gone so now she will have to scrape up another criminal to back her..
I have nothing nice to say about this man so I will leave it there..

Obama, Pelosi and Reid are no doubt working to stall the signing of the death certificate until after another vote on Obamacare.

It is hard for me to imagine a ‘man’ of his stature and dubious legislative past ever being a mud Marine. I have no clue as to his actual service or commendations but based on his following ‘service’ to this nation as a ‘Congressperson’ I’d have classified him as a REMF.

“Plugs”Biden lived in Scranton for 10 years. I’d be more embarrased to mention that than Bill O’Reilly living there.
ALS, Hillary Rodham spent many a summer in the Scranton area as a child .

I suppose Obama would refer to him as a corpse-man. He’d be right.

what makes me sick is this guy’s family will have a military funeral and the USMC will have to provide the honor guard - for the a$$hole that trashed marines at Haditha without having the facts.....how pathetic is that!

Murtha's passing comes at a tenuous time for House Democrats as they seek to convince some of their older members to re-up for another term in the face of what looks to be a difficult national political environment for the party. Nonsense. The governor(D) can appoint a lameduck Democrat to pass the Party legislation and not face the wrath of the voters (no intent to run for re-election).

He didn’t just trash the military. He engaged in treasonous agit prop.

Remember Thumpers mother, If you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all.Actually, that was Thumper's mother asking Thumper what his DAD used to always say. Thumper's answer was great, "eat all of your greens, not just the flowers only."
Just thought I'd toss that in there. I liked the movie a whole lot better than the subject of this thread.
