As Boutons would say: You are "Sheeple".
Change the subject, try to cast aspersions on other people, but recognize the Democrats, who you rooted so heavily for to attain power, are not behaving above board. They are putting a known corrupt politician at the very top of the power structure in Congress. Bravo.
Was Murtha a good soldier? From all accounts a very good soldier. Does that mean he is above criticism for his positions on the war, or for corrupt dealings? no. I live three blocks from Murtha's district. What is he famous for? Bringing home the bacon - however he has to do it. They talk about him reverently is those terms. He has run adds bragging that he brings more federal $$$$ back than the district pays in!! In fact, people in his district are worried that he won't produce as much pork if he is busy having to be a national spokesperson.
Dude is the personification of what is wrong with Congress. A career bribe-taking, favor-granting politician, fat with pork, who, if you haven't figured it out yet, was a career hawk until he saw he could make a power grab by becoming outspokenly anti-war. He became the face of the Democrat cut and run crowd - and he is being rewarded for that. Did he take his position because he really feels that way? Why would he start making policy decisions like that now? He has a do ented history of doing what is politically, personally, monetarily expedient. That is all his "anti-war" stance is, and has been.
