2. Well, youtube isn't working for me right now. Let me ask, does the video |
|
exonerate him, or is it negative? If it's negative, why promote it on DU?

3. Different people feel different ways about it. We should always be interested in the truth. |
|
Leave the coverups to the Repubs.

and never agreed to. The guilty ones in ABSCAM got convicted. This is a right wing smear on Murtha. That you would bring it up here perhaps says something about you.

7. Do tell, what does it say about me? |
|
I bring it up because this is going to get brought up over and over by Republicans if Murtha becomes our majority leader. Democrats should know about this, and make sure that it won't bite us in the ass. Yes, he didn't takt the bribe. The only phrase that bothers me is when Murtha adds he is not interested "at this time."

11. This is a right wing smear on Murtha |
|
have you heard that before? There is no "there" there in this tape. Murtha's dialogue is very smooth and deflecting and there is nothing in it to impugn him.

12. His statements on the tape give me a different view than you. |
|
I do not see it as a right wing smear either. I've seen worse conduct by elected officials, but based on his statements, I would not vote for him as a rep.
Don't we want to set a better standard? We have a good chance to do so now. I hope we do not waste it.

8. They are tapes of Murtha talking to people offering him bribes |
|
He says he is "not interested... at this time." Why does the source matter? You can watch it without edits or commentary and judge for yourself.

6. Everyone should see the truth in its full version. |
|
Whatever it may be, as YouTube is not working for me right at this moment.
