GOP to Wobbly Dems: Bring it on!

murtha.jpg
The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on surrender-monkey Rep. John Murtha (D-France) call for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

Way to grow a set of cajones, House Republicans!

Of course, we wouldn't want to question Murtha's patriotism. Because as we all know, former members of the U.S. military cannot, by definition, be unpatriotic.

Except for Benedict Arnold.

Okay, one former miltitary man was a traitor.

How about Zebulon Pike ?

Er, okay, two.

Fine, but in addition to Murtha being a former Marine, the man is a sitting U.S. Congressman! A top official in the U.S. government!

Aaron Burr, any one?

Long, long time ago....

Alger Hiss, Roosevelt Administration

Enough!! So, there are a whole lot of cases where traitors happen to either be in high government positions or happen to have also served in the military. What does that prove?

Nothing, only that treason and military/government service are not mutually exclusive of each other.

So are you saying Murtah is a traitor? Doesn't he just want what is best for his country? By definition those trying to do what is best for their country can't be traitors, can they?

No, but he is a whiny bitch, isn't he?

Indeed.

Via Drudge, this news:

House Republicans, sensing an opportunity for political advantage, maneuvered for a quick vote and swift rejection Friday of a Democratic lawmaker's call for an immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq.

"We want to make sure that we support our troops that are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan," said Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill. "We will not retreat."

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi had no immediate reaction to the planned vote.

The GOP leadership decided to act little more than 24 hours after Rep. Jack Murtha, a hawkish Democrat with close ties to the military, said the time had come to pull out the troops. By forcing the issue to a vote, Republicans placed many Democrats in a politically unappealing position - whether to side with Murtha and expose themselves to attacks from the White House and congressional Republicans, or whether to oppose him and risk angering the voters that polls show want an end to the conflict.

UPDATE: See-Dub suggests that you might want to call your Congressman about this one. Good point. Call away, minions, call away!

1 Yes, all of us in the US need to know who the traitors are. I wish the Senate would take the same vote.

2 I just got off the phone with my lefty congresscritter. the staffer was like "So your for the Murtha resolution?" "NO! I'm for winning the war!" Rusty, might I recommend you amend your post to get people calling their congressmen about this?

4 As I love to repeat whenever the opportunity arises; when these bastards have screwed up so completely that all order collapses and there's war in the streets, we can at least have the pleasure of burning them alive over a slow fire.

6 You forgot to mention Kerry. One of the biggest traitors of all time.

7 I'm so glad you're back to straighten all this shit out, Rusty.

8 Agent Smith, F..k off! Before we deprogram you.

9 I'm sorry but didn't they vote on the HUNTER Resolution? The resolution that they voted on that called for a withdrawal of troops was introduced by a Republican from freakin' California. Forget Murtha. Should a Republican be calling for our troops to come home? Who is Hunter and why is he asking for immediate withdrawal?

10 Why is it that a few former military men who speak out against the war are supposed to be taken seriously just because they are veterans, but all the veterans who speak out in favor of the war are ignored?

11 Agent Smith and greg: Run along and play now. The grown-ups are talking.

13 Agent Smith and Greg, I gave you my address two different times. Why don't you and the dumn ass come over to my house in Abilene and play? You won't cause you know I will beat the crap out of you. Now quit trying to threaten people, you little shit.

Posted by: jesusland joe at November 19, 2005 09:06 AM (rUyw4)

14 Greg, I'm flattered that you Googled™ me! I feel so famous now, in a rather obscure, mediocre sort of way... dirty, almost. Anyway, you were pretty much spot on with the details, (you must have neglected your porn surfing for hours, kudos for obsessing about me!), but the analysis was flawed because you projected too much. You seem to have a problem with objectivity, which is the heart of a good analysis. He who cannot see past himself is blind. For example, my mother's death has nothing to do with my state of mind. You see, I'm a Taoist at heart, (yes, the Tao is completely compatible with being an atheist), and I accept with complete tranquility things that cannot be changed. I may not like them, but I accept them, and so remain sane. I'm pretty damned stoic when it comes down to it, and only tend to get excited about things that can be changed, and when the need for change meets opportunity, all that is necessary is the ability and willingness to act. The Hagakure and Five Rings are invaluable guides. By the way, I'm also a student of Sun Tzu, by which you may infer that I will in no way ever be the first to act, but rather will watch the enemy and prepare myself and allow them to make the first move. Once the enemy is committed to action, only then will I act, but I will act decisively and without reservation. I frequent muslim groceries and restaurants so that I may learn what they're thinking as much as possible, and I go to a pub where liberals hang out and chat them up so that I can keep a sense of what's going on in the local tinfoil-hat community. I may be a devious bastard, but I will not be caught unawares. MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Now if you'll excuse me I have to go do my Saturday morning bunker inspection and register the mortars. Ta-ta!

15 Black market commodities? Like Colt 45 and Menthol Kools? Oh snap! Yeah, I went there. I'm gettin' some backlash on that one, I can tell ya now. Oh well, let the flogging begin.

16 By the way, I hope Murtha feels stupid for confusing his Viagra with his senility medication and letting it get the better of his judgment.

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at November 19, 2005 10:58 AM (0yYS2)

17 Would a Taoist cause ripples in the pool ? Would a Taoist call others silly names like a frightened child ? (I still feel shamed by being called a "bed wetter" by you)More time is perhaps needed contemplating the navel. Or shakabuku from JLJ

18 You know john, if you keep sitting around babbling like that, you're gonna get sent to the old folks home for being senile.

19 And I must of missed something about Pike. Why do you consider him a traitor ?

Posted by: john Ryan at November 19, 2005 11:16 AM (ads7K)

20 Whilst I will not presume to read Rusty's mind, it's probably because of Pike's association with the undoubted traitor James Wilkerson.

Posted by: John "Akatsukami" Braue at November 19, 2005 01:59 PM (OzUMH)

21 Well John if you wish to deem Pike a traitor solely because of his association with Wilkerson or his associations with others, thanks for sharing that with us. IM all was said in the best of spirit. I always find your repeated references to my penis (bed wetter...viagra) somewhat amusing. As I mentioned before these type of insults often do show more about one than many might choose to know.

Posted by: john Ryan at November 19, 2005 07:40 PM (ads7K)

22 John Ryan, IM has you figured for an old Protestant main liner, possibly Presbyterian or Episcopal, who was conservative in a pukey way when he was young, but has "matured" in his own mind to be nothing more than a lukewarm liberal. Claims to be moderate, but that term no longer exists in a real way, because you are about to be forced to make a choice. Moderate usually means lukewarm liberal. I think he might be right.

Posted by: jesusland joe at November 19, 2005 08:15 PM (rUyw4)

23 Greg, Leave Greyrooster alone. You're going over the top with this shit and you know it. There's an implicit threat in publishing people's information on the internet. You claim to want to blog and post anonomously. You need to respect other people's privacy.

Posted by: jesusland joe at November 19, 2005 10:22 PM (rUyw4)

24 Rusty, Greg needs to be banned. He's posting other people's private information out here for everyone to see. No one should have personal info published on the Jawa unless they do it themselves. What Greg is doing is unethical and needs to be stopped.

Posted by: jesusland joe at November 19, 2005 10:31 PM (rUyw4)

25 Quothe JJ: "Moderate usually means lukewarm liberal." "Be thou hot or cold, for if thou art lukewarm, I will spew thee out of my mouth."

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at November 20, 2005 08:32 AM (0yYS2)

26 Now that greg is officially stalking, just pass his ISP info to the FBI and let them have at him, because cyberstalking is a Federal crime.

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at November 20, 2005 11:38 AM (0yYS2)

27 you retards, what losers...always claiming everyone who isnt as blind and stupid asa you are traitors. well guess what according to you66% of the USA are traitors. you idiots are in the minirty now fuckheads so get used to being made fun of as the ridiculous little bitches you paste eating republican moral vbalue nerds are. we hate you, everyone hate you, you have good reason to have internalized your fascist horseshit, you little dick men that you are. ernie

28 ernie Guess what. You ain't no marine, that makes you a liar. So begone, troll, and go back to the swamp at DU. You'll feel better among your own kind, and ya'll can mourn the terrorist scum killed today. Have a nice day, shithead.

Posted by: jesusland joe at November 20, 2005 05:18 PM (rUyw4)

29 Agent Smith: You got some of it correct. Some of it wrong. I worked for a respectful engineering firm and later became co owner of same. We worked in the design, inspection of, and management of engineering projects. Mostly, but not entirely in the mechanical side of building. Elevators were a small part of it. Some of my projects were the San Francisco and San Jose Airports. I served in Marine Corps during the Vietnam war. 2nd Batt. 26th Marines. What have you ever done for your country? So for the record. What are your achievements? That is besides being an asshole. I'm not ashamed of who I am. Apparently you are. Or are you a coward? Both of us allready know that answer. Don't we.

30 Proud to attack leftards and muslims.

Posted by: greyrooster at November 21, 2005 07:35 AM (ZaAd/)

31 Please note the prick above calling himself agent smith doesn't reply with anything he has done for America. Of course we all know who the little traitor is don't we. This cowardly commie is without pride. Voted off this blog and the pityful lonely little prick continues to post where he is not wanted. That in itself shows his character. Or lack of it. So Greg the traitor go back to the 8 year old boys that you claim to love to suck their cocks. The world doesn't need or want you. Fact is you should be executed for your crimes against this nation and deviant subhuman desires.

32 Hey ernie, isn't it about time for you to move out of your mom's basement and find a job other than delivering pizza?

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at November 21, 2005 03:22 PM (0yYS2)

33 Mr. Anderson, You disappoint me.
