At stake is Pelosi’s grab for absolute power within her party. A defeat of Murtha will be a defeat for Pelosi in her very first order-of-business before even hanging her new drapes.
What many voters didn’t realize (because the MSM hid it from them until after the election) is that — while there is clearly way too much corruption on the right side of the aisle in Congress — it’s very possible that the new gatekeepers are even more corrupt:
Of course Murtha thinks it’s total crap — when you’re the dirtiest game in town, the last think you want is someone shining a light into your dark little dealings.
Quick…name 5 Democrats in Congress who are more corrupt than Jack Murtha? Ok…I’ll give you Rep. William Jefferson and Rep. Maxine Waters. Now name three more. Can’t do it, because there aren’t 5 Democratic congressmen that are more corrupt than Murtha.
I can get behind a Democratic Congress and Speaker Pelosi if they truly are concerned with rooting out corruption — as long as it also includes the corruption in their own party.

I wondered how the Lamont nutsroots would be spinning this morning over the loss of “their boy”. They’re not taking it well…
I’m didn’t go all Michael Moore (after the 2004 elections) and decide stay in bed for three days in a catatonic state.
If you’re a Travis County Republican, stop in and I’ll buy you a drink (I’m easy to find — I’m the only biker at the bar). Hell, if you’re a Dem, stop in and I’ll buy you a conciliation beer.
Kinsley wants you to vote first, because he wants you to vote Democrat. However, he knows that his assesment of the Democratic Platform will make you see red (and likely vote that way, too).
Today is a big day, and the future of the world and all of mankind is at stake if power falls into the wrong hands. Ok, that’s not true. But still, do the right thing and go vote (Republican).
But the truth is — even though not every single person on the Left hates the Military — the perception of the majority of the men and women in our armed services feel the same as this US Army company commander in Iraq:
Now that Early Voting is done, and before tomorrow’s general election, I wanted to re-publish this list of bloggers who wrote “How I Voted” posts on their blogs:
