1. No, only the Hunter bill
which is a mockery of what Murtha was proposing.

3. no,there was a vote on whether to bring the Murtha bill to the floor
and it was offered in such a way that it will force TOO QUICKLY without debate, the Dems to say yes or no on pullout so they can be painted as cowards.

(so it has been explained to me)

9. Murtha never proposed a bill, he just made a statement
Unless I am totally missing something.

There IS no Murtha Bill, just the Hunter one (aka sick bastards playing games with matters of life-and-death)

12. It's a kangaroo court in the House ... yea is nay and vice versa
When your ears hear more "nay"s than "aye"s and yet "in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it", you know we've crossed the line.

"'Twas brilling and the slithy toths did gyre and gimble in the wabe ... " (or something like that).
