The smearing of Murtha by Bushies is what the whole country should be watching now, people. Smearvets II in progress. They also called McCain and Cleland "traitor", "coward" and "no hero". This is what the Bushies are made of. These Bushies are pure scum. Lying inept chickenhawks who plan a war so poorly that it turns into a quagmire within months after the troops pull off a valliant invasion. Then Bushies smear our greatest war hero leaders for criticizing their handling of the war. ALmost all Americans know and admit Bush-Cheney have blown it in Iraq. Even in Texas they know now. Only a fool or dunce would support such a war. We would have been safer never to even have gonme in there. Bush-Cheney have made us less safe and gotten some 17,000 troops killed or wounded.

According to a June 13 article in The Los Angeles Times, the fiscal 2005 defense appropriations bill included more than $20 million in funding for at least 10 companies for whom KSA lobbied. Carmen Scialabba, a longtime Murtha aide, works at KSA as well. KSA directly lobbied Murtha's office on behalf of seven companies, and a Murtha aide told a defense contractor that it should retain KSA to represent it, according to the LA Times. In early 2004, Murtha reportedly leaned on U.S. Navy officials to sign a contract to transfer the Hunters Point Shipyard to the city of San Francisco, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. A company called Lennar Inc. had right to the land, and Laurence Pelosi, nephew to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was an executive with the firm at that time. Murtha also inserted earmarks in defense bills that steered millions of dollars in federal research funds toward companies owned by children of fellow Pennsylvania Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D).
