Fight the 'Rove Machine's Traitor Talk,' Murtha Says

Fight the 'Rove Machine's Traitor Talk,' Murtha Says By Susan Jones CNSNews.com Senior Editor June 23, 2006

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) complains that Republicans are labeling Democrats as traitors "if you stand up and question them" on the Iraq War.

"Enough," Murtha said in a Friday email message written on behalf of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee -- a group that aims to shift control of the House from Republicans to Democrats.

"To all the Republicans who sit in their air-conditioned offices and talk of the courage it takes for them to keep young kids in harm's way -- I say enough. Karl Rove talking about 'cutting and running' while he sits on his big, fat backside, saying 'stay the course.' I say enough! That's not a plan!," Murtha fumed. (He said something similar -- and oft-quoted -- on NBC's Meet the Press last Sundayl)

"We've got to have a new direction, and it's clear we need more Democrats in Congress to get that done," Murtha writes in the DCCC fund-raising pitch.

Murtha insists that the Iraq War is neither a Democratic nor a Republican issue.

"While the Republicans have been busy name calling, the situation in Iraq has only gotten worse," he said. "The insurgency has grown exponentially. IED attacks, where our troops are sitting ducks for an enemy they can't even see, have increased steadily. And the patience of the American people for this flawed policy is running out," Murtha said.

Standing up and questioning policy is a long standing American tradition.

Aiding and abetting the enemy is treason.

Somebody hand that treasonous POS Murtha a photo of his own backside.

Jackass Murtha: Your nation is ashamed that you ever wore its uniform. If you despise your nation and its troops as you obviously do, then find some Islamofascist satrapy to be your future residence. Also stop posing as a patriot. Everyone knows better by now.

Dumb-sh!t Murtha...we tried your direction under Clintoon. And what it got us was the Mogadeshu cut and run and ultimately 9/11.

"Murtha insists that the Iraq War is neither a Democratic nor a Republican issue."

Then sit down, shut up, and let the adults handle it.

Murtha loves the attention he gets from the unAmerican left when he sells out the country.

Murtha doesn't sit on his fat ass in an air conditioned office? Are only people with skinny asses and no AC allowed to talk about Iraq now?

When the going gets tough, we can always count on the Democrats to wave the flag of surrender.

Tokyo Rose, Lord Haw Haw, Axis Sally, and Benedict Arnold were all patriots just questioning the administration of the war.

He is not just questioning the policy he is recommending surrender. There is a difference but Dems seem to be too dimwitted to see it. Questioning policy is politics. Recommending surrender is traitorous.
