02/19/07: John Murtha, True Troop Supporter!

Published: Feb. 22, 2007, 9:47 p.m.

Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) has called for any new troop increases - including the Bush surge - to be denied if the troops being sent are not properly rested, equipped, and trained. This sounds like a plan the Republican "support the troops" party should be clearly behind. However, Murtha has a "D" after his name; thus, the Republicans must smear him for daring to propose such an option, as it would clearly prevent Bush's surge from ever happening. In our continuing series on Republican hypocrisy, Jared and Ralph explain that it should be crystal clear that the Republican party does NOT support the troops; it only supports ideas whose creators have an "R" after their names. Anything a Democrat suggests is shot down, and his character assassinated.
