[skipos]

11. I hope so. At least he didn't say this

Amoroso: Let me ask you now that we're together. I was under the impression, OK, and I told Howard what we were willing to pay, and I went out, I got the $50,000. OK? So what you're telling me, OK, you're telling me that that's not what you know....

Murtha: I'm not interested.

Amoroso: OK.

Murtha: At this point, you know, we do business together for a while. Maybe I'll be interested and maybe I won't.... Right now, I'm not interested in those other things. Now, I won't say that some day, you know, I, if you made an offer, it may be I would change my mind some day.

[The Count]

24. Do we know his stands on war NOW?

[Tom Joad]

9. Opposing troops out now in Iraq negates everything else he has done

How many young Americans will die because of Hoyer's extremism?

[Beetwasher]

10. WTF Are You Talking About??? What Kind Of Insane Bullshit Are You Spouting?

How Republican sounding of you.

He opposes the troops???? Bullshit.

[Tom Joad]

13. If he opposes a pullout, he opposes the troops, Iraqis, and international law.

Why support a war of aggression?

“a precipitous withdrawal of American forces in Iraq could lead to disaster, spawning a civil war, fostering a haven for terrorists and damaging our nation's security and credibility.” --hoyer, still wants to stay the course.... with better managment.

[Beetwasher]

15. Stop Smearing Dems

Saying "He opposes the troops" makes you no better than a Republican. If that's the company you want to keep by making assinine statements like that, that's your problem.

[Tom Joad]

14. .

[Beetwasher]

17. Stop Smearing Dems

It's insane to say he "opposes the troops". That sort of bullshit is insane. If you disagree w/ his policy positions, fine, but that sort of rhetoric makes you no better than a Republican.

[Tom Joad]

18. Troops die when old men support illegal war. That is just the way it is.

I can't change that.

I do think Hoyer will vote for full-funding for Veterans. The fact remains, more troops will be wounded, more troops will be killed, more troops will be sent to fight for a lie, as long as people like hoyer and bush and all the rest support US troops in Iraq.

They have to come out Now.

[Beetwasher]

20. I Agree They Have To Come Out Now, But

That sort of overblown rhetoric "he opposes the troops" serves no purpose except to smear and it puts you in bad company.

[Tom Joad]

25. I think what you misunderstood in the first place is

hoyer opposes:
Troops out now. Read the full sentence. His policy is to oppose "premature withdrawal" or whatever shitty term he might use. I did not mean that opposes the individual troops.

But like i said, even he likes the troops, even if he funds all the VA hospitals and funds a thousand more, visits every wounded g.i.,
his policy creates grief for troops and their families. grief for iraqis. grief for the planet.

[question everything]

16. I am almost afraid to ask: does he support a woman's right to privacy

to make her own decisions in the privacy of her home or her doctor's office?

[Balbus]

19. Yes

[question everything]

23. Wonderful! Thanks

This list is exactly the opposite of how Murtha voted.

Not that this is the only issue, but with so many new recruits who are anti-choice, this is a blast of fresh air.

[Tom Joad]

26. Amazing that there are such reactionaries in the Dem party, isn't it.

[watercolors]

21. I feel good about the choice

like Murtha, buy he can be asrasive and it turns some off.
