Re: Why Murtha Matters
The commanders he represents will get fired if they speak out. There are numerous examples of military personal and other officals getting fired by Bush when they speak out. I'd suggest a google search, but somehow I think you'll refuse to believe anything I link unless it comes from Townhall or Little Green Footballs.
Your political base can actually be different from the people who live in your district. A lot of people get money from outside of their district.
Also, Murtha's district is actually pretty Republican. I worked for Kerry in Johnstown and most people were supporting Bush.
