Not Nancy Pelosi. Not Harry Reid. Not Dick Durbin. Among the soldiers I know, no politician engenders more distaste and outright scorn than John Murtha.

Not Nancy Pelosi. Not Harry Reid. Not Dick Durbin.

I have no idea who he is, so I'll take your word for it. And Jack Murtha committed 'suicide by press.' Calling your constituents racists just won't fly, no matter how true it is (and it is true). But what if a Republican candidate got convicted of seven felonies? Strangely, that won't matter very much. In the end it's the Republican philosophy that's on trial here. And it's losing. The people will speak (many have already), and they will give a resounding verdict on conservatism. They like the old style conservatism that Democrats have adopted. They don't like the new style Christianist, big spending, warmongering anti-intelligence style conservatism that you represent. I always wondered how I became a liberal when Bill Buckley was my hero. But I guess Chris has explained it for me, hasn't he? I guess I never should have doubted myself. I always said Arthur Laffer made me a Republican and then made me a Democrat. Turns out, he's a Democrat too, now. Why am I not surprised? Everyone that was with Reagan is now with Obama. So where is your movement going? Who do you guys have left, McKinley? Look in your pockets, Reagan's gone and we're holding him in our hands and our hearts. Granted, he's a little too liberal for modern times. But we can deal with that.
