Democratic Hypocrosy #2 -- The war in Iraq

(Note: regarding the post below: Despite Majority Leader Pelosi's attempt at hypocrisy, the House Democrats voted for Stoney Hoyer over Jack Murtha. That's a good thing for America even though the GOP could have used Murtha as a foil for its election purposes)

On Tuesday, November 9th, we have this:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - President Jalal Talabani said Thursday that he had been assured by Democrat congressional leaders during a recent visit to Washington that they had no plans for a quick withdrawal of U.S. forces.

But then on Tuesday, November 14th, we have this:

The Democrats—incoming majority leader Senator Harry Reid of Nevada; incoming Armed Services Committee chairman Senator Carl Levin of Michigan; and incoming Foreign Relations Committee chairman Senator Joseph R Biden Jr. of Delaware—said a phased redeployment of troops would be their top priority when the new Congress convenes in January, even before an investigation of the conduct of the war.

The hits just keep on coming

Hypocrisy #1

I'll be chronicling where the Democrats deviate from what they say they are about or say they are going to do or not do as part of this new website.

They're already churning out material for it and we'll start with this one.

The Democrats campaigned against the "culture of corruption" in congress. Nancy Pelosi (you can boo whenever you read her name) said that she would "sweep corruption out of the congress."

Fast forward two weeks and who is Nancy Pelosi endorsing to be the #2 Democrat in the House of Representatives:

Jack Murtha

Murtha who has been investigated for multiple issues.

Here is an article in Bloomberg detailing some of the issues that both the conservative AND liberal watchdog groups have with Murtha:

The Democrats are in charge

someone needs to keep an eye on them.
