Dem Leaders, WHO among you will stand with Murtha?
CNN showed a snippet from Murtha's GOP counterparts in Congress, attacking his earlier call for immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq. There were a gaggle of them, all lined up waiting for their turn at the microphone. One GOP Congresswoman decried Murtha's statement as "irresponsible" and "reprehensible" (gee, I wonder where she got that from?). So many Repubs showed up to support "staying the course".

So I ask, WHO among our Democratic Leaders will stand up for Murtha, and stand with Murtha, support his courageous words or must he stand alone?

Dem leaders, we are watching you.

1. A CNN snippet might not be the best source for watching the Dems
Was this session shown on CSPAN? Anybody here see it so we can get some more complete information?

3. the snippet was of the GOP response, not Dems
and a snippet was surely enough! I saw a whole gang of them ready to slam away at Murtha with the same tired Chimp cliches.

I tried to catch Murtha's address live on C-SPAN/C-SAPN2/C-SPAN3 but they were not broadcssting it live, so I watched on CNN. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of our broadcasters.

4. Right, but you just said "we are watching you"
But if we can't see what the Dems are doing, it's hard to watch them. That's why I'm hoping to get more info. about the full session on CSPAN, per the other thread, rather than just the CNN snippet.
