The future Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, is endorsing The Saboteur John Murtha for House Majority Leader.

As a Republic (not a democracy) we have the privilege to vote for and elect our representative government. Unlike some previous elections, the people who did not get the representatives they voted for are not screaming and carrying on about the election being ’stolen’ or that it was unfair somehow. Whaaaaa-waaa-waaa.

Instead, most of us understand that this is the way a Republic works. The majority of the people spoke - even in the races that had razor slim margins.

This is a perfect example of you get the government you deserve.

The problem is, do the troops deserve this? I don’t think so. But this is what we are stuck with for a while.

The dems have been gloating and grinning from ear to ear all the while backtracking on their demands for immediate withdrawal of troops. Now they are going to form a committee to form a committee to select a sub-committee to consider what committee should oversee a committee that will form a committee to start considering what might should be done in Iraq. That committee will look at all the options and submit it to a committee that will consider if it is ready for submiting to a committee that will evaluate it before sending it to the committee that will evaluate it before submitting it to the committee that will approve it before submitting it to the committee that will submit it to the House for approval before voting on whether or not to consider those options. Then once the options are figured all out, they will start the committee dance with culling the options down to the most viable. And on and on.

In the meantime, Ms. Pelosi is backing the man who called our troops ‘cold blooded killers’. The man who the democrats hail as their ‘war hero’, but who won’t allow his military records to be made public.

But it’s not about who’s best for the job. It’s about favors and personalities.

The unexpected move signaled the sizable value Pelosi gives to personal loyalty and personality preferences. Hoyer competed with her in 2001 for the post of House minority whip, while Murtha managed her winning campaign. Pelosi has also all but decided she will not name the ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee, Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) to chair that panel next year, a decision pregnant with personal animus. [source]

Here’s what she wrote:

“I salute your courageous leadership that changed the national debate and helped make Iraq the central issue of this historic election. It was surely a dark day for the Bush Administration when you spoke truth to power,” she wrote. “Your strong voice for national security, the war on terror and Iraq provides genuine leadership for our party, and I count on you to lead on these vital issues.”

Murtha responded, “I am deeply gratified to receive the support of Speaker Pelosi, a tireless advocate for change and a true leader for our Party and our country.”

All Murtha had to do was call the troops ‘cold blooded murderers’ and call for immediate redeployment of the troops to Okinawa

You know what they say …. fasten your seatbelts ….

Here’s more ….

Leo Pusateri remembers how Murtha came to national prominence after a 32 year career in relative obscurity.

But all that changed on November 18, 2005, when Jack Murtha, tired of being a relative nobody on the national politcal scene, finally decided to make a big splash by throwing his former Marine brethren and the rest of the military under the bus as a means to his end. And let’s not forget the sweetheart deal that was arranged by Murtha to line the pockets of Pelosi’s nephew, Laurence, to cement the compact:

Murtha’s role in the culture of corruption also implicates Pelosi herself. Roll Call reported last year that Murtha “reportedly leaned on U.S. Navy officials to sign a contract to transfer the Hunters Point Shipyard to the city of San Francisco.” Pelosi’s nephew, Laurence Pelosi, was an executive of the company that owned the rights to the land.

And now wouldn’t you know it– Nancy Pelosi, the liberal’s liberal– (and soon to be House Speaker), is endorsing Jack Murtha over Steny Hoyer to be the next Majority Leader of the House of Representatives.

What better way to assuage fears about Democrats being too dovish and anti-military than to back America’s foremost spokesman for cut and run — who once famously pronounced Haditha a case of murder “in cold blood” while the investigation was still ongoing?

I think The Emperor Misha said it well.

You know, the “highly decorated” REMF mostly known for calling our Marines “coldblooded murderers” without a shred of evidence to support it at the time he made the accusation.

The insane, doddering, syphilitic old poster boy for euthanasia whose “solution” to the war is to “redeploy over the horizon to, well, Okinawa” who then, when given a vote on his own proposal, doesn’t even have the guts to vote for his own psychotic idea.

Right Wing Nut House

Whatever small chance the Iraqi people had that the United States wouldn’t abandon them to the tender mercies of al-Qaeda and the sectarian thugs who are wandering the country drilling holes in their victim’s heads is disappearing as fast as you can say the word “bi-partisanship:”

Theodore’s World

After they start feeding America to the terrorists, and march onward to their goal of socialism and moral degradation, maybe the rest of our fellow Americans will finally get their heads out of the sand, or their arse, and realize what the party of Democrats has in mind for their future.
