Why Murtha Matters

[Felix_Nietsche]

If you have evidence that military support for Bush has dropped.....then post a link. I will look at it.

I have posted links on the 70%+ military support for Bush43 SEVERAL times on this site.

I think you are most likely correct that 70% of the military supports Bush. It makes sense.

I am not talking about the general population of the military. I'm talking about top-level commanders. That's not that big of a group but they are in charge of the actual mission.

I'm sorry, but since you seem to know nothing about Jack Murtha and his relationships, you really have no legitimatcy in talking about his statements and what they mean. Sorry.

I wasn't aware the 2+2 forum elected you the authority on Murtha. This may be a surprise but your opinions carry no more weight than anyone elses on this forum. Sorry.

Patriotism is love of country. Based on what Murtha and other Democrat 'leaders' are saying, I questioned their love of country.... Since Murtha has tuned himself into the media darling of Al Jazeera, I think it is accurate to call him the Axis Sally/Tokyo Rose of the war on terror. I think he is more senile than a traitor but his actions would be exactly the same if he was an al queda mole.

Love of the COUNTRY, not the ADMINISTRATION. I hate Bush BECAUSE I LOVE THE U S of A:

Bush has taken the country into an unwinnable war and alienated friend and foe alike in the process;

He is bankrupting the country with a combination of aggressive military spending and reduced taxation of the rich;

He has deliberately and dangerously attacked separation of church and state;

He has repeatedly "misled," to use a kind word, the American people on affairs domestic and foreign;

He has proved to be incompetent in affairs domestic (New Orleans) and foreign (Iraq and the battle against al-Qaida);

He has sacrificed American employment (including the toleration of pension and benefit elimination) to increase overall productivity;

He is ignorantly hostile to science and technological progress;

He has tolerated or ignored one of the republic's oldest problems, corporate cheating in supplying the military in wartime.

Not quite - Patriotism is love of country and a willingness to sacrifice for it. Just giving lip service for the media as in “I love America” doesn’t make one a patriot. You actually have to do something.

As to Murtha, why is it that he gets all this press when Senator Lieberman goes the other way with his OpEd piece and gets almost no mention. Hmmmm…..?

Congrats on your joining the Pooh-Bah ranks - Welcome!

So Bush and Cheney are not patriots? They pulled every string imaginable so they wouldn't have to go to Vietnam.
