They have the nerve to slam Murtha? Meet the Chickenhawks Platoon!
http://www.nhgazette.com/news/chickenhawks/politicans_platoon/



Name: George W. Bush (R-TX)
Born: 1946
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: You know when a guy walks away from a National Guard obligation during wartime and gets away with it, he must come from "a good family." Not that his daddy had anything to do with his getting a Guard slot in the first place - oh, no ...



Name: Richard "Dick" Cheney (R-WY)
Born: 1942
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Says he had "other priorities." You bet he had other priorities. Imagine how early in life you must begin scheming to get away with what this guy has. He was too busy thinking about Halliburton to go fight Charlie.



Name: Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD)
Born: June 3, 1926
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: WWII
Notes: Nominated as a chickenhawk by a constituent, Roscoe Bartlett brings to his job on the House Armed Services committee a mind that’s unbiased and unprejudiced — though he had turned 18 by D-Day, when there was still plenty of opportunity to become a bona fide member of the Greatest Generation©, Roscoe let the war go by without putting on a uniform. We don’t know why; perhaps you could ask him.



Name: Rep. Charlie Bass (R-NH)
Born: January 8, 1952
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: When your old man's U.S. Representative Perkins Bass (2nd District, NH, 1955-1962), and your grandfather's Governor Robert T. Bass (NH, 1911-1913), chances are slim you'll ever get called "Private Bass," even if you are born in 1952.

there's much more...

3. Sickening, isn't it?
I don't expect any of their children will be enlisting either.

6. Not only that, but...
to call Murtha a coward and viscerate him, not only in the press, but on the floor of the HOUSE. It's inexcusable to me.

12. Russert interviewed Murtha, Rove was afraid to be there
face to face with Murtha, so Russert had a video of Roves statement instead, atleast thats the way it appeared to me, If you ever watch Russert he is playing more and more video of this cabal. I always wondered if the cabal is just afraid to meet Murtha on Meet the Press?

Would love to spend 5 minutes in a dark alley with that p.o.s.
