One bad incident was not going to kill his service

Alright..he blew it and he knew it but one incident should not dictate a congressional position nor an entire career.

Congrats to Mr. M....now keep your head down and work your butt off and all of us will forget foot in mouth syndrome.

Of Course Murtha Won-Any Moron can get elected in the US today!

So many of us this morning are saying exactly what kind of people do we have in this Country...who do not care if our President has EXPERIENCE. Or if they have good JUDGEMENT, OR if they REFUSE to explain why MOST of their relationships have been with RACIST, ANTI-AMERICAN people? But that is just ok! We will continue to lower our standards to the point that one day a terrorist WILL get elected and take over the whole Country! Sounds impossible and obsessive doesnt't it? Well, we now have a President that COULD NOT pass the BACKGROUND CHECK to become an FBI agent, yet he can lead the free world???? Murtha, he is just yet another expample, say that the people in your area are RACIST, REDNECKS, and MEAN IT..then just say oh, I really didn't mean it, and get ELECTED! Yet when the Country is in financial crisis, gets attached by terriorist, those WHO VOTED IN THE MORONS year after year after year have the guts to ask WHY, HOW did this happen to the US? Look IN THE MIRROR! It just seems that the words COMMON SENSE just escape Americans in THIS AMERICA of 2008. Similar to if you are dying and only an open heart surgery will save your life, are you going to go with a renoun heart surgeon, or someone who has WATCHED heart surgeries, but NEVER DONE ONE! If you answered the latter, well you deserve to be in a big hole six feet UNDER! As for the rest of us, it is just a dam shame that we TOO have to suffer for the total LACK of ANY BRAINS in this COUNTRY!
