Democrat bullies.............

I thought the Dems pledged non-partisanship

Murtha (PA-D) shouted at and chastised Rogers (Mich-R) on the House floor Thursday for offering a motion last week to challenge $23 million Murtha requested in an intelligence bill.

Murtha had requested the money to prevent the administration from shuttering the National Drug Intelligence Center in Johnstown, Pa., which is part of Murtha’s district.

“I hope you don’t have any earmarks in the defense appropriations bills because they are gone, and you will not get any earmarks now and forever,” Murtha told Rogers.

“This is not the way we do things here — and is that supposed to make me afraid of you?” Rogers replied.

“That’s the way I do it,” Murtha said.

Using one members vote as a means of denying a vote on another issue is against House rules. I don't know what the threat to do such means.

Hate to rain on a parade...but what exactly is the issue here?

I don't think much of Murth's or Pelosie's politics and this kind of crap is bs.

The issue is the child like mentality. Has nothing to do with the bill being discussed. She is using a kindergarden mentality. Pretty sad.

Murtha is about as slimy as a politician comes.

Ok, but it seems that the childish part starts where I have highlighted

You get this from both sides anyway. A lot of political discourse is not far from a verbal bar fight.

That is called a valid question from an adult in shock! Are you having a hard time seeing the difference?

I don't know how Murtha has managed to stay in office.

This is why every president Democrat or Republican, since I can remember has wanted the Line Item Veto. And why every Congress, Democrat or Republican has declined to give it to him.

Pork=Jobs=Re-elected.
