thats good... you need a sence of humor round here.
Because Tip O'Neill, the Speaker at the time, got the investigation quashed - even though the outside prosecutor wanted it pursued. The outside prosecutor resigned when this happened. See John Fund's article in today's OpinionJournal.com
I dunno. I listened to most of the tape and heard a guy who seemed genuinely interested in bringing business to his district. He told the scamer several times that "Getting this guy in the country won't cost you guys a cent." The scammer really had to try hard to shove the money down Murtha's throat. I don't like Murtha and wish he would have lost, but I think getting hot and bothered about this stuff 26 years after the fact is full of baloney. Just sayin'.
Because John Murtha was playing a very useful role - bashing Iraq strategy. The Democrats and their stooges in the MSM decided that Iraq was going to be one of the main talking points in the election. Murtha was selected to carry the water for them because he was a veteran and had a reputation as a supporter of the military. He must have been promised something - very likely the Majority Leader position.
Well, the election is over now and Murtha has outlived his usefulness. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
From one who myself, should have done more.
I'm with you. Maybe it'll come out much later that Rove orchestrated a plan for the GOP to take a dive. Two years of Democratic control, and 2008 turns into a landslide and the death knell for the Dem/Libs!
I belieeeeeve!
Murtha for SPEAKER!!!
I webmastered the Vets for the Truth / Boot Murtha.com website. We obtained a copy of the full 54-minute FBI surveillance tape and put it as one of several posts here on Free Republic. But folks were so, well, distracted with all the races throughout the country that they weren't interested much in Murtha's own little Congressional race in Pennsylvania's District 12.
Vets for the Truth sounded the alarm about Murtha as did Murtha's opponent Diana Irey. It is somewhat rewarding to see that some of that is now, belatedly, getting national attention.
Why is this coming out NOW? It would be more effective if it came out AFTER Murtha won a leadership post.
Just a bump and thank you for all you did this fall. Heard Diana on the radio today. Hope we see more of her.
