Pelosi Puts Weight Behind Murtha in Leader Bid
For those who don't remember, it was Murtha who first demanded immediate withdrawal for LITERALLY the criminally murderous americans, and then Pelosi who backed him up.
If this story is right, it is the beginning of the end of democratic electoral success, and a clear demonstration that they simply are beyond trust in national security matters.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), in line to become Speaker in January, is throwing her support to Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) in the race for Majority Leader, a move that will be an early test of her influence and will weigh heavily on Murtha's contest with Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) for the post.Pelosi, in a letter distributed Sunday to newly elected House Democrats, wrote that Murtha's outspoken opposition to the war in Iraq helped change the electoral campaign for the House this fall. Murtha began calling for a U.S. pullout from Iraq a year ago, and his open opposition to the war made him a focus of intense criticism from Republicans and the White House.
Pelosi, though, credited Murtha, one of her closest allies in the House, with changing the national debate on the issue and helping provide Democratic challengers and incumbents with a winning argument for the mid-term elections.

So, Pelosi wants one of the Big Dogs in the ABSCAM SCANDAL to be one of her closest Buds !!
Benedict Murtha and the impeached Judge will make a nice contribution to her Culture of Corruption..
"So much better to steal your taxes, my Pretty" !!
Ok,
If I recall, the Republicans lost for screwing up Iraq and having too many corrupt members of congress.
Now it appears that Ms Pelosi is too dim to see that she is partially repeating the Republican’s mistakes 1 week after the election.
Ms Pelosi supports Murtha who will push for an Iraq solution (time table) that allow the Democrats to “screw up in Iraq”.
Ms Pelosi appoints Alcee Hastings to lead the Intelligence Committee (over moderate Jane Harmon) thereby supporting a corrupt member of congress to a critical position of power.
It appears that both Republicans and Democrats are incapable of leading this country honestly and effectively.
Unfortunately for the Democrats, Ms. Pelosi, only took 1 week to show the nation how the Peter Principal moved her into a position of power in the House.
