Murtha is past the senile stage and into the babbling baby stage, again.

maybe he needs some more pork for his ceo buds to ease his pain

The “Lucy Syndrome” is all the Democrat Party has. Keep changing definitions, altering the requirements of success in any given situation, redefining the meaning of “is”.

Murtha and Obey—Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, or are they the Bobbsey twins?  Gad, life must be bleak for people like them.

Can tax hikes really be the Democrat solution to everything?

Bush has no concept of fiscal responsibility.  He just charges his wars on the national credit card.  Why pay for his wars now when we can make our children and grandchildren pay for them?

will, I just gots one thing to say to that stupid assed line of crap. Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Way to move the goal posts, Jack.

I believe the ‘democracy’ goalpost came from the lips of Jr., did it not?

Even with the war our defense outlays are less as a percetage of GDP than the average for the Cold War era.  Find an argument that’s harder to disprove.

Yes, spark, and those goalposts have remained quite static. Imagine that.

Even for you, this is an extraordinarily stupid comment to make, and it astounds me that you would make a point of demonstrating your ignorance of American history.

Try this: name a war which was paid for out of then-current revenues.  The American Revolution?  Hardly.  That war, and the Civil War, and the Spanish American War, and World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War, were all “financed” in one way or another, paid for by those who paid federal taxes long after the conflicts ended.

Please note too, that both World Wars, the Korean War and Vietnam were all undertaken and financed by Democrat presidents.  During World War II, FDR and the Democrat-controlled Congress ran federal deficits that were over 100% of GDP.  And that doesn’t include the various “war bonds” and other financial sacrifices imposed on the American people.  Nor does any of this cover the expenses incurred in the Cold War… also financed.

You can argue with the decision to invade Iraq and depose Saddam Hussein.  You would be wrong, both morally and strategically, but you would at least have a moderately defensible position.  And you can argue that the war in Iraq has been mishandled.  You’d probably not get much argument about that at all, though how and where to fix the blame is another question entirely… one likely well beyond your limited cognitive capacity.

But to argue that the war (it was just Iraq you’re squawking about, right?) ought not to have been financed, or to imply that this is the first such in American history, only demonstrates your own lack of qualification to discuss the subject rationally in the first place.
