CNN takes on Murtha, earmarks

[FRSFreeStatePlus]

RIP John Murtha but perhaps better known as Rep Pork of Pennsylvania

[Wilone328]

0bama's Health Care Reform, Would you trust this administration's bill?? Come to my you tube profile page and See just why Y0UR voices matters !!!

[clhoyt1003]

Murtha is a DICK. Plain & simple.

His horrible & borderline-illegal behavior since serving in the military negates his service to our country in my eyes. (1) saying he'd consider taking a bribe at a later time in the undercover FBI "Abscam" sting. (2) accusing, trying, & convicting the "Haditha Marines" in the press & as a US Rep. (Almost all were later cleared of all the serious charges.)

Etc...etc.

Gotta at least give credit to CNN for this report. I about fainted when CNN did it!

[marialumena]

Murtha at least has served his country honorably in the military unlike the draft evaders we have as pres and VP now who want to show they are men by sending our troops into harm's way because they didnt have the balls to serve their country themselves..Murtha has always been right about the war even though his latest comment was silly...we are creating a Shiite pro-Iranian govt in Iraq! thanks to US blood and money! that is the bottom line on this silly war

[StellarMortem]

Hillary Clinton = $150 Million 2007

Barack Obama = $90 Million 2007

John McCain = $0 2007

This is a great post- there are tons of earmarks "kickbacks" to supporters of congress Even George Bush inserted thousands of his own earmarks after threatening to veto if the earmarks were not cut! federal Government seems corrupt on many levels. Thanks for the great video.

[Keyman444]

the politicans can be controlled because they are dependent on the media. and on other congressmen's votes, who can be instructed to not support anothers bills who speaks up by whoever funds them(see aipac documentary). this clip is an example of the media talking about a politician after he spoke out against the war.

[bandog87]

is it fair to say that the US government has been screwing us over? i work for what? to give big fat politicians a better life while i stuggle to take care of my family. something tells me our government needs to be overhauled. By that, i mean overthrown. the more i find out,the more pissed off i become.

[djpage7]

Really about 97% of Congress are corrupt, power hungry and are only in it for their own, their families and close friends interests. Why do you think Congress has its lowest approval rating ever?

This is another example of why we need to drastic cut the size of the federal government so earmarks and corruption wouldn't exist.

I just love it how Congress thinks it is their money...

[purpleman007]

but in the right direction

[purpleman007]

this was more bias than i thought it would be for CCN

[RonaldEmmis]

Who gives a shit about Ted Stevens, you imbecile? John Murtha is busy shitting on our troops and he is a crook and a thief at the same time.

They should string his slimy ass up from a pole.

[grazon]

None of you complained about Ted Stevens bridge to no where.

Why? because he's a Republican.

[jmgrant1]

Earmark reformers are 100% Republican. Those who want to cut spending in general are conservative. Earmark abusers are in both parties. So overall, maybe don't vote for Stevens, but if you are against earmarks/high taxes/big spending, conservative Republican is the way to go.

[grazon]

"Earmark reformers are 100% Republican."

lol sure they are.

[jmgrant1]

No facts as usual on your side. The Club for Growth has just released a tabulation of current votes on 50 House floor amendments to strike earmarks: "Some interesting numbers to consider: * Sixteen congressmen scored a perfect 100%, voting for all 50 anti-pork amendments. They are all Republicans.

* The average Republican score was 43%. The average Democratic score was 2%.

* The Pork Hall of Shame includes 81 Democrats and 24 Republicans."

[grazon]

You're using The Club for Growth as your source?

This is a joke right?

[arizkeystrike]

Yes, this is a joke, right. Posting to you in any way shape or form is a waste of time. You are an ignoramous. You think you are doing the work of the great dems. Yoemans job there, toadie!

[grazon]

SDo you really think the Club for Growth is a non bias source?

[jmgrant1]

They support Democrats when they are pro-growth, pro-capitalist, pro-tax cuts, so, uh, yes. Just attacking any source whose facts you don't like is a lame & bad faith tactic, especially when you offer no refutation whatsoever.

[grazon]

"pro-capitalist"?

Doesn't it bother you that you support Red China when you shop at Walmart?

[arizkeystrike]

"lol sure they are"? we meet again, blech! A colossal waste of time talking with you. Did your father teach you to be the smattering toadie you've become?

[grazon]

Yet you make three posts in response to mine.

[arizkeystrike]

Can't stay on topic? Question, Your sister is pregnant, what are you going to do about it? Answer, Bush's fault! FOFLMAO, dirtbag

[grazon]

Is that supposed to be insulting?

[dalpaugh]

I can't help but wonder why they picked this earmark to do a story about, when placing earmarks like this into bills is common practice.

[hippykiller1]

stuff like this goes on all the time in congress. i hate it.

[5M1L3]

Thanks so much for calling Murtha out on this.

[patsagainstrats]

Thanks for exposing the pig-faced Murthafucker. This guy has always been crooked as a dog's leg.

[JuMBOGooCH]

yeah... CNN has been a lot more credible as of late... all they need now is to have a tough fair debate for both parties coming up, and they'll probably establish themselves as the least bias station.

[blogagog]

This series is giving me newfound respect for CNN. It's nice to see them going after bad politicians for a change, instead of just bad Republican politicians.

[grazon]

None of you complained about Ted Stevens bridge to no where.

[arizkeystrike]

Bull shit grazing liar, it was killed, wasn't it! And Murtha's 39 million for the porkers who do the electronics eavesdropping on your cell calls? Ya Buddy! That is exactly where the dough go! Check out all the undercover blogs, they mention Jonestown Pa., all the time.Why do yopu not have an honest bone in your body, grazer? Are you grazing off the public teat? That's It! I guessedit, you work for me! So get to work!

[grazon]

I wrote that BEFORE it was killed.

Get a clue clown I doubt anyone works for you.

[mrbengal]

Vote for Ron Paul for President, I guarnantee you he is not a crook like the other Republicans or Democrats. He would veto any bill they tried to get by him with earmarks or unnecessary spending in it. Just look at his Congressional record and the proof is in his actions.

[BUDDAWG2004]

how refreshing a story on youtube not talking about bush as the anti christ or he blew up the towers. today will be a good day

[Antgne]

Ouu!!!  What's with CNN? Someone stepping on their money? GIVE IT A REST!!!

[kimc53]

So CNN is reporting a story showing the dirty work of a Democrat? Excuse me while I hit the ski slopes of Hell.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Even CNN knows Murtha is a sleazeball

[KSFALLGUY]

social services spends 78% of its budget on itsself! thats right 78% goes to pay the people to give away the money! whats wrong with this picture! yea i no u will bitch but thats cause u sit on your fat ass, and collect a pay check u dont deserve, by creating work that dosent need done! hail the new world order!!

[KSFALLGUY]

this is just business as usuall, u r all fools if u think either party is above tjis type of crap, the end is hear, and these monkeys bang the shit out of their cymbols make a lot of noise and go no where!

[arizkeystrike]

Bull crap! This is 6 months into the"democratic" control of congress. This is what they said they would do, clean up congress. They railed for six solid ear-splitting years, elected the "First

Woman cough Leader, Remember, "Culture Of Corruption"! Bull Crap! Murtha is the most evil sonofa=mullah in Washington. It is my opinion he is a bad man. I almost went crazy for a minute. Calling a man the names I was thinking would make me ...what? A Republican? Damm, not that!

[grazon]

Time to sleep off what ever is wrong with you arizkeystrike.

[RonaldEmmis]

John Murtha is the human equivalent of a slug. He is a piece of refuse.

Everyone who voted Democrat to put these losers in control of Congress deserve to have their taxes raised and their gas bills hoisted to the roof. But why do the rest of us have to suffer for these fools?

[grazon]

For the same reason we have to suffer Bush.

[arizkeystrike]

Stay on topic grazer, you pathetic wiper of Murtha's pusilanious and overly flab-infested posteror. You gettin paid for the yoemans work you do for the DNC, prig? Is there any thing wrong with any democrat in Washington or anywhere in the United States including San Juan? Is there any redeeming qualities in any republican past present or future? Lincoln? Are you so stupid that when you fart you wish you were in your sleeping bag? Is your name Jon Stolz?

[grazon]

rummy leave the internet for the night before you make yourself out to be even more of an ass.

[mwe1967]

gahh!!! The bigger story here is that CNN is trashing democrats? Murtha must have pissed off somebody...

[VinceP1974]

This is typical of the Democrats.. They talk a good game. (Remember Clinton's 1992 "I'll have the most ehtical administration in history"), but they do whatever the fuck they want and their little minions don't care. That's the difference between them and Republicans. Republican voters punish their party when their party lies, the Democrats pretend they're being honest.

[jalutdenavarre]

wow. How does our party keep power and control with this kind of corruption? Murtha appears to have completely disregarded the reason we put the democrats into power.

Jeez. This is just scary.

[clghitis1]

John Murtha (D-Abscam) he has always been corrupt.

[arizkeystrike]

What is scarier is it coulda been avoided. Only they would a had to tell you the truth. See? Then...Oh Snap! Wouldn't that be a fine thing to witness, them telling the truth? Coulda had Anderson Cooper Film it and Ole Oaferman coulda changed the subject and went off on O'Reilly so nobody would notice! Think anyone would vote for em if they tole you they was crooks?

[grazon]

Hit the hay dude.

[JayAreDubya]

Murtha is not only corrupt politically but as a human being.

[clghitis1]

``The Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history'' Pelosi said 11/7/06.

Oh well, never mind!
