Has Murtha no sense of decency?

Has Murtha no

sense of decency?

Recently, Lt. Col. Paul Ware, an investigator in the Haditha massacre case, issued a report recommending charges be dropped against Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt. Not long ago, Congressman John P. Murtha locally declared the Marines guilty. This was done shortly after the incident hit the news and was based on the testimony of locals making the charges and before all the facts could be taken into evidence. The report specifically questions their credibility, since forensic results were inconsistent with the execution-style murders the locals claimed.

In his abominable, politically motivated actions, Murtha acted as "judge, jury, prosecutor, castigator and press agent, all in one."

All I can say is, "Until this moment, Congressman, I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Let us not further assassinate this lad, Congressman. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"

If this sounds vaguely familiar it should. Substitute "Senator" for "Congressman" and you have the words spoken by lawyer Joseph Welch on June 9, 1954. The earlier quote was attributed to Harvard law dean Ervin Griswald. They referred to and were addressed to Senator Joseph R. McCarthy.

I now address that question to the supporters of Murtha, because we know his answer, judging by the lack of a public apology: Have you no sense of decency?

Joke of the Day!.....

High Tech Restaurant:

A man walked into a very high-tech restaurant in a fancy hotel.

As he waited to be seated, he noticed that the Maitre D’ was a robot.

The robot clicked to attention and said, “Sir, there is a one hour wait. And I am programmed to converse with you until a table is ready, If you please.”

Intrigued, the man said, “OK.”

The robot clicked a couple more times and then asked,Sir, what is your IQ?”

The man answered, “Oh, about 164.”

The robot then proceeded to discuss the theory of relativity, Interstellar space travel, the latest medical breakthroughs, etc.

The man was most impressed. The next day he returned, But thought he would try a different tack.

The robot again asked, “What is your IQ, sir?” This time the man answered, “Oh, about 100”.

So the robot started discussing NASCAR racing, the latest
basketball Scores, and what to expect the Red Sox to do this weekend.

The guy had to try it on e more time. So the next day he returned.

Again the robot asked the question, “What is your IQ?”

This time the man drawled out, “ Uh... ‘bout 50.”

The robot clicked, then leaned close and very slowly asked,

“A-r-e

y-o-u-r

p-e-o-p-l-e

g-o-i-n-g

t-o

n-o-m-i-n-a-t-e

H-i-l-l-a-r-y?”

Somehow I don't think this clown is planning on hanging himself. Just laying low. The L/MSM will keep him safe and sound for the most part. Okinawa Jack taint going to go down to easy. At most a few eye casts from Pelosi the witch will clue him in on how to dance as things develope.
He will slither out from the rock and take on whatever new role is assigned him.

“do you have any bananas today?”

hillary, shumer, murtha, pelosi, et al, are bananas.

what’s even more bananas is that the “electorate” will put them back into office.

(liberal electorate = mean-spirited scu&bags)

As for his “war hero” status...[link]

As a vet, I just can't imagine wearing purple hearts that were fraudulently obtained.

How does Murtha live with himself?

(Okay, for that matter, how do "black ops" Kerry, Rose Law Firm bill padding-Travel Office firing-Marxist Hillary and Chappaquiddick Edward live with themselves?)

These all relate to the original question. "Have they no sense of decency?"

Nupe.

Which is why I believe that each is so fundamentally miserable and unfulfilled.

Which is to say he doesn’t have an ounce of the decency of Judas.

I believe most politicians are amoral at their core. Some are what psychiatrists call “functional psychopaths”—malignant, criminal personalities who are shrewd enough to avoid major run-ins with the law. Murtha was snared in ABSCAM but he was able to cut a deal by turning on two co-conspirators.

After Swift Boat veteran John O’Neil debated John Kerry on Dick Cavet’s show, when they were both still young, O’Neil said Kerry approached him after the debate to shake hands which O’Neil refused. O’Neil said that by this gesture Kerry was telling him the debate was only about personal political ambition—which Kerry guessed must be O’Neil’s motive for being there—and not about viciously slandering hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops still in the field and abandoning millions of Vietnamese to death and tyranny.

When Bill Clinton allegedly raped Juanita Broaddrick in a hotel room, a charge supported by much circumstantial evidence, he forcibly embraced her then bit down on her upper lip with his teeth and held the bite while he raped her. This technique would indicate Clinton was a practiced rapist. Friends of Broaddrick the next morning commented on her swollen lip.

If I could remake American politics, which I can’t, I would like to see farmers, carpenters, welders, waitresses, barbers, nurses and truck drivers in Congress and the White House rather this endless gaggle of sleazy, sociopathic lawyers.

The news media worships and elevates these scumbags while attacking anyone who opposes them.

I hope in 2008 the voters will send a real message and dump this whole load of human garbage.
