Reps-Calling Murtha's Bluff by bringing up his resolution in House

[kpete]

House republicans privately considering:

Calling Murtha's Bluff
Calling this up on the House Floor
See whether Dems are serious about this
Put people on record
only 30-35 liberals will support it

They think it will embarass Democrats
& be a shot in the arm to republicans
privately considering bring up his resolution if not today, then after Thanksgiving.

Just heard on CNN

1. Murtha is my hero

You know this wasn't easy for him to do.

[ananda]

2. y-knot

I don't mind knowing who's where on this issue.

[aquart]

6. Me, either.

And I did email my Congressman Nadler and asked him to thank Murtha for me.

4. Interesting....

5. I hope not

I'd think that most Congresspeople would be looking at the polls, especially for their districts, and will vote for it.

7. Never ask a question that you don't want to hear the answer to, repugs...

You may not like the answer you get.

8. It's not dishonoring the troops to bring them home. Every Dem...

should vote in favor of this resolution. WHO in this country, really, does not want our troops home? I say, bring it on.

[Avalux]

9. Maybe that was the Dem plan all along.

I'd love to believe so - a fantastic game of strategy where they trick the repugs into getting what they want. It could happen.

[Lowell]

10. Good idea

Bring it up and if it doesn't pass, then bring it up again. Just keep doing it until everyone is tired of all the lame rhetoric and decides to do something. Enough people are tired of their kids getting killed and I think the pressure will mount after the staged elections in december.
