She's defending Murtha. Talking about the time he has spent with wounded soldiers.

His record in the service.

Our failure in Iraq.

Insurgent attacks on the rise.

No end in sight.

Mismanagement & corruption.

Flawed intelligence.

Half truths / obfuscation

She's on fire.

She reminded everyone that this is NOT the Murtha resolution, it's the Hunter resolution.

[Greeby]

31. she said it! SHE SAID IT!

the word "swift boat" :woohoo:

[Coexist]

[stop the bleeding]

33. She is a patriot! n/t

[Mutley]

34. Oh, she is WONDERFUL!

:applause:

[KingFlorez]

37. Louise Slaughter is good

That's why Buffalo keeps reelecting her

[Coexist]

39. I was raised in Buffalo (well, outside there)

It is a great place to be from.

[July]

50. Hey! I'm a born and raised Buffalonian! Hi!

I have great fondness for the old home town. Grew up in South Buffalo, lived in a suburb later.

[Coexist]

55. Lackawanna here - home of the terrorist cell.

What notoriety!

[July]

58. I wasn't far from you -- other side of Caz. nt

[Mutley]

56. My Dad is from Buffalo.

[July]

61. Hi, honorary Buffalonian.

Where did your dad live?

[Mutley]

73. Near Hamburg, I think.

I am not very familiar with the area.

[Coexist]

87. I used to go to the Hamburg Fair every year!

Ahhh... good times.

[July]

If you ever want to check out the ol' hometown, send me a PM.

[KingFlorez]

43. Joseph Pitts is up

I hate him. He's from the fundiest part of the country, Lancaster Co. PA

[Greeby]

I keep thinking Murtha is about to speak :blush:

[Solly Mack]

45. FYI Pitts - the war in Viet Nam was started for political purposes

Guess what Dude? You were in Viet Nam for a lie too!

freedom is not free blah blah blah

[Greeby]

[ncrainbowgrrl]

[AuntPatsy]
