GOP Lawmakers Float Ethics Probe of Murtha
By John Bresnahan
Roll Call Staff
Friday, Nov. 18
Republican lawmakers say that ties between Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) and his brother’s lobbying firm, KSA Consulting, may warrant investigation by the House ethics committee.

There must be a real threat to the integrity of the congress for the leaders to dust off the "ethics" committee that Delay destroyed so that it could not censure him for a fourth time.
Murtha has an "in", though. The hypocrit who is chairman of the house rules committee, closeted congressman David Dreier is the son of a "Marine drill instructor". He'll watch Murtha's back, you can be sure !
One day soon, these fucks in the congressional majority will bit off more than they can chew. Elections are another matter...."my republican congressman isn't one of those bad ones!" (Sorry Elphaba. I can't tell any of them apart.) |
First, this shows the "political" blackmail and the nasty tactics of the GOP. I hope the Dems. stand strongly and yell as loud as possible about this.
Secondly, it is the right of the minority to be heard on Congress' floor. The GOP I guess seem to forget that. Again, I hope the Dems. fucking shove it down their throats and scream bloody murder.
Third, I can't bite my tongue on this one, to compare the rights of the minority in Congress to speak to that of a grenade in a time of war, even as a joke is fucking ignorant, tasteless, classless and shows no caring towards those with friends and loved ones in Iraq. I guess that is typical, you don't like what the other side says you compare it to a terrorist attack.
And the ironic thing is the right to post such harmful idiocy was allowed and rightfully so, however, it's "purpose" was to show how the left had no right to be heard.
Finally, this shows how desperate the GOP is becoming, and Elphaba, I thought there were some good GOP, but obviously not because some of them could have stood up and demanded that the right to be heard be kept intact.
The GOP truly sicken me and they continue to show their contempt for the people and anything that opposes them by hiding and running rather than giving true debate.
