accusing Marines of murder as part of a partisan powerplay is *not* ‘taking care of $hitsville, PA’ Happy Jack…

Doesn’t seem to bother the fine citizens of $hitsville, either.

“If I’m corrupt, it’s because I take care of my district,”

He is corrupt, arrogant and despicable. I don’t give a fat rats rump about how his district loves him. Tar & feathers is too good. I think burning at the stake is more appropriate.

There will come a time soon when examples must be made.

You’d have to pry those earmarks out of Murtha’s cold dead hands. So he blames his constituents for his corruption, typical libtard, the buck and responsibility never rests upon them always on someone else.

Is that what it takes to take care of one’s district? corruption?

The people of his district have to be one of the following, or a combination thereof because they keep electing him:

1. Stoopid
2. Oblivious to the news
3. Everything he’s called them
4. Unwilling to accept reality
5. Unable to read.

Hey. If they perpetually tolerate this mess, they deserve what they get.

And for balance, I rip Sen. Cornyn and Hutchison on a regular basis (and I did NOT vote for Cornyn the last election cycle for his inconsistent voting). I do the same to my congressional rep.

The sooner the better, too, lest there be 2010 repercussions.

I hope there aren’t any 2010 repercussions. Let the Democrats ride this train wreck until 2012.

Gee – I thought Congress was supposed to take care of the country – not just their little corner of the pie. silly me. But I also agree that many of them keep getting elected because they “bring home the bacon.” What other excuse is there for some of them?

Murtha, Reid, Kennedy, Stevens, Frank, etc. were/are the masters of how to bring home the pork, thus their multiple, consecutive election wins.

As long as Americans care more about building projects being funded where they live than the country at large, we’re going to be inundated with cheap politicians like these guys from either party far into the future.

The “if” here operates in roughly the same way as it did in the title of that O.J. book, I gather.

Or the Mos Def defense either way it stunningly apparent that Murtha's defense is to cop to corruption as something he does out of his own moral peril.....down is up and up is down Newspeak. When was the last time he had a check up from the neck up?

I think the Democratic leadership would rather he retire than be disgraced. It will make it easier to keep the seat.

The Chris Dodd defense, I was made to write the legislation for the A.I.G. Bonuses, the unelected Treasury made a U.S. Senator write in the bonuses for A.I.G. execs.
