I understand that, but theres a difference between foot in mouth and knife in back!Zella all of them have put their foot in their mouth at one point in time or another.
I agree, I guess I could have left off the 'hey hey hey, goodbye' part, been hanging out on Democratic Underground too much, picked up some disgusting habitsYes, smack is impolite, but retrospective criticism is not. No one should celebrate any ones death. One day all of us will be at that place.

the reason Murtha was beloved by his constituents is obvious and easy...
his nickname.....
Murtha, King of Pork, PA...
the man POURED pork money into his state... he was known for it... he brought lots of money to his people... and they loved him for it..
I agree. Waffling is not limited to the left however. Not saying the man never made an error or mis-spoke, he obviously did, but he had his convictions, was elected on them, and stuck to them. Agree with them or not, as you said he was to be commended for that.Mr Brown I think his constituents were dedicated to him because of his own dedication to himself. They voted for and followed him for his truth. He never waiver or waffled like a typical liberal. Was always true to his words and thoughts. Thats why as a republican I admired him because I knew exactly what I faced.
Ask him a question and get an answer. A month later answer will be same.
May not be what I would have wanted to hear but at least you knew where he stood.
Cant say that for folks like , Pelosi, Schumer, and the other liberals.
Where does it say you have to be in that district to disapprove of their political
activities...if he's or whoever, is spending and stealing TAXPAYER money
that affects us all...:wtf:
Kennedy was a POS, just because Mass. was stupid enough to be in Kennedy
love fest and continue to re-elect does not speak for the moral character of
the man...![]()
Centered would be good...Yes, he was dedicated to his people. I hope they find a replacement a little more centered.
Happy cows come from California, right?And the milk was better than I expected. Thanks.
South end, Harrisburg, down by CarbondaleWhere in Illinois are you?
I am from Palatine,
That explains a lot.....born in the drug store there.
This why he was elected over and over, he was doing his job.
Simple answer: an elected officials loyalty should be to the people he represents. Yes, members of congress should take care of the interests of their constituents before anybody else. Senators represent their states, and the President represents us all. That is how a representative democracy is supposed to function.So here's a question for you...and all of us.
As a United States Congressman...where do you loyalties lie first and what is acceptable?
By that I mean as an Amercian...is it O.K. to screw over the rest of the Nation
for the sole benifit of your tiny group of constituents?
It's like the Nebraska backroom deal in the healthcare bill...are we really saying
that's O.K. ??? And this is something Murtha has done time and again for the
last 40 years....shouldn't our leaders in washington be setting an example...and
if not...we've elected the wrong people.

Congressmen are supposed to take care of their district, that's why there are so damn many of them. That's how the system works, from local government on up to the top. If the person representing your district sucks, replace them with someone that will fight for you. It's the senators job to take care of their state, and so on. That is what's right.......What ever happened to doing what's right...
