Hey Clanrickarde,
Are you a veteran? Seems to me Murtha is a war hero. Don't agree with what he says but he damn sure earned the right to say anything he likes and it seems to get him re-elected every time he has run for office. I like what John McCain (My Man) did today on the steps of the capital in two seperate interviews on two seperate networks and yes FOX was one of them. He refuses to use the term "cut and run" believes in good honest debate not mean spirited debate. I had a used car salesman ask me what kinda car I was driving as I was looking at a F-150 for property work, I pointed to my Nissan. Now I feel sorry for this guy because I have been waiting years for this question. He ask me"What does Pearl Harbor mean to you and why you driving that rice burner" My response, "I spent 21 years in the Navy defending God and Country and I can drive any damn car I want" and then I ask him what branch of the service he served in. Did not serve.. college deferment during Nam seems our VP got five of those. damn I wish I could've gotten just one of those when my lottery number was pulled because I was the last person in Carter County Oklahoma to get drafted but joined the Navy instead of getting drafted into the army. ended up I loved it and spent 21 years in our yacht club, saw the world and they paid for all of my education. I am a republican and do believe we should not set a date for withdraw but s**t is pilling up at home and 2,500 dead is getting up there.
Very Respectfully....Mark
